We loved our stay at Whitehirst B&B, located about a 7 minute walk from Portree -town centre. The bedroom was beautifully furnished, and spotlessly clean. …

Wonderful place...a short drive from the center of Portree. We were welcomed with great kindness and cheerfulness by the owners of the house. The room is certainly the best I encountered during the trip, comfortable and normal-sized bed, clean and comfortable bathroom. Every day they clean and change towels. The highlight is definitely the breakfast, WOW! I recommend it without a shadow of a doubt!

We enjoyed our stay here immensely. One of the top 3 places we stayed in over our 3 week trip. We arrived early, which was not a problem- John was so friendly and welcoming. It felt like a home away from home and very relaxing. …

We recently stayed in a reasonably sized double room, with a bathroom across the hall for our Room’s exclusive use. The furnishings are clean and luxurious feeling, while comfortably “home” like appeal. …

We were lucky enough to spend two nights in this b&b and we felt at home: everything was perfect, clean, tidy. The owner of the house is a very kind, helpful, very polite person. Adorable! The breakfast he served us was superior to any other b&b or hotel: any wish is fulfilled. A special hug to Olivia 😻. Thanks Whitehirst.

Apparently no record of my reservation despite telephone and email confirmation one month before. Had to find another last minute accommodation at an expensive price

We did a road trip from Glasgow to Oban, to Isle of Skye, to Inverness and then to Edinburgh. This homestay is the best! Thanks to John and Marie for hosting us, we really enjoyed John's jokes and Marie's kindness. …

John and Marie were very gracious hosts. The room is large and comfortable with a large, modern bathroom. Spotlessly clean. Also have a large living room to sit in although we didn't make use of it on our trip. …
