This is a B&B which has 2 double guest rooms and is run by a very welcoming hostess, Norma. Our cosy room was very clean (as was the rest of the house), fresh-looking and tastefully furnished/decorated with a small, but clean en-suite shower/toilet. It's in an elevated position at the end of a road and, as with many homes on... More

We had the most wonderful stay with Norma - she treated us like family from the moment we walked through the door. The house is absolutely pristine in its cleanliness and it was absolutely wonderful to spend time there. The view from the bedroom was glorious and, as others have pointed out, the shower was truly one of a kind.... More

You must have a car to stay at this B&B. The room was small but cozy, the shower was small too but very strong. Everything was clean and refreshingly modernly decorated. The house is located at the end of the road, and there are only 2 guest rooms, so we could enjoy the quietness, with only an occasional sheep going... More

If you don't have a car, you will miss out on Norma MacAskill's great hospitality because Achachork's a short drive from Portree. The accommodations are great--the room was very cozy, and the shower was even better than ours at home--but the best part was sitting in the kitchen chatting with Norma while she cooked breakfast. We had the feeling that... More

We stayed with Norma in May. We had to change our schedule a number of times but she was able to accommodate with little fuss. The house is just north of Portree (about 5 minutes). The house is modernly decorated (which we really liked); the bedroom was fantastic with the most comfortable bed and nicest attached bathroom. The cooked breakfast... More

We had a lovely stay at Witch Hazel House. I note that there are two B&B's by this name in Portree; I am referring to the one on Achachork operated by Norma MacAskill. Staying at Witch Hazel really is like staying in someone's home. When we arrived, no one was in, but there was a note telling us that our... More

This is a fairly new B and B and has been fitted out to a very good standard. There are only two bedrooms but both are ensuite, the one I had was a shower room. The shower was very powerful and lovely to relax under after a hard days work. All the usual facilities are available including access to WWW... More
