Welcome to Arus, a bright and comfortable three-bedroom home in Achachork, just a short drive (or pleasant walk) from Portree, perfectly positioned to enjoy the ever-changing landscapes of the Isle of Skye.

Set in an elevated, south-facing position, the house enjoys panoramic views from every window, stretching from the Red Cuillin to the MacLeod’s Tables, with the dramatic Black Cuillin range forming a stunning centrepiece. Whether you’re exploring the island or simply relaxing indoors, the scenery is always part of the experience.

Two en-suite bedrooms: one with a king-size bed, one with twin beds

Third twin bedroom adjacent to a family bathroom with an over-bath shower

Open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area on the ground floor

Upper-level sitting area with a large picture window — ideal for reading or watching the light change over the Cuillins

A patio door leads from the dining area onto a decked outdoor space, overlooking a south-facing garden that borders natural croft land — peaceful, private, and perfect for enjoying long Skye evenings.

Additional features include:

Electric central heating and double glazing throughout

Fibre broadband (up to 52Mb download) — ideal for remote work

Garage with washing and drying facilities

Off-road parking

Portree’s picturesque harbour, shops, cafés, and restaurants are close by, while walkers, climbers, cyclists, and wildlife enthusiasts will find endless opportunities across the island — from coastal paths to mountain trails and boat trips.

ARUS is a very nice modern home - spacious and great views. It has all the amenities that a person / family would need for a stay on the Isle of Skye. It is a short distance from Portree by car but perhaps too far to walk frequently into Portree (2 miles). The property was clean, quiet, and very comfortable.

What a great place

This is an absolutely stunning place to stay. The view is breathtaking. The accommodations are lovely. The host is fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about this stay. Super convenient location (close to town but quiet), easy to get around from). The home is well stocked with one of the nicer kitchens I've seen in a VRBO. Overall, if you can stay here on your vacation to Skye, you should. It's exceptional.

Amazing views!

Great location to explore Skye. Views from the cottage were spectacular, was nice to have two sitting areas from which to enjoy them. House is very well equipped with everything we could’ve needed especially in the kitchen. Bedrooms well furnished too and very comfortable, blackout blinds were perfect for the early morning sun and having three bathrooms was a treat. Beds were comfy too. Our first visit to Skye and it didn’t disappoint!

Arus is an incredible property in a wonderful location.

The house has amazing views over the Cullins. The 3 double bedrooms are a great size and also have amazing views. The house very comfortable and is very well equipped. The very minor problem we had in the week was sorted very quickly and easily. We had a lovely week here and would highly recommend Arus to anyone visiting Skye.

Fantastic Location and Host!

Very quiet, scenic location with easy access by car to all of Skye. The walk from the house to Portree via Torvaig and the Scorrybreac trail is a short, lovely alternative to driving. The host is exceptionally helpful including recommendations for local walks and arranging to mail an item left behind by one of our party. The house was clean, had ample fridge space for provisions, and a well-appointed kitchen. We couldn’t have been more satisfied with the experience!

Beautiful house in stunning location - what more can you ask for?

Fantastic house to stay in - we were a family of 5 with 3 children aged 13 upwards. Lots of space downstairs, lovely bright open space to see the stunning views of the Cuillins. Ideally located near to Portree to get the essentials from the well stocked supermarket as well as the little coop as you go into the town. Kitchen has everything you need and with the extra space in the garage area, (another fridge/freezer), lots of space to leave stuff, dry clothes, boots etc. Essentials such as kitchen roll, tin foil etc was all there. Wonderful having 3 bathrooms always a plus with teenagers! We were told the wifi might be slow but was no problem at all. Our daughter had to submit a university essay during the week which thankfully had no problems. Upstairs extra space to chill, see more views, play games was an added bonus. Big supply of books, games etc. Garden space was great esp the decking area to chill on after a hard days walking. Thank you. We were given an extra bonus- the weather shone!!!! (sorry that is not always the case on Skye I believe)

Wunderschöner Aufenthalt

Wir waren als Familie mit 4 schon erwachsenen Kindern zu Gast in diesem wunderschönen Ferienhaus. Das Haus war sehr sauber, die Küche sehr gut eingerichtet. Es war sehr viel Platz, auch für 6 Personen, gerade mit den zwei gemütlichen Wohnbereichen. Die Lage war ideal, ruhig, doch nahe an Portree und zentral gelegen für wunderschöne Ausflüge und Wanderungen! Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war schnell und sehr freundlich,Vielen Dank für einen tollen Aufenthalt!

Wonderful week

I had previously visited Skye when I was 21 and this year I am 70 so I was eager to see if I still loved it as much and check if it still wowed me in the same way. It certainly did! Our accommodation was perfect for our group of 3 adults - large and airy, with stunning views of the Cuillins and very well equipped. It was in the perfect location on the outskirts of Portree so it was easy to pick up provisions and get to restaurants although we did a lot of our own cooking to make the most of having the house. It was also just near enough for me to explore the town on my own and there are several lovely walks from the front door. Overall an excellent week and even the weather was great!
