I stayed her for 1 night while in Portree for work. Everything was absolutely spotless & I had the most beautiful view form my room. Bed was comfy and I slept really well. Breakfast was lovely as was the host Effie, so friendly and made me feel right at home. I would definitely recommend Almondbank B&B to others!

The room is very comfortable, with very clean bathroom and a nice bed. Effie is very friendly. She drove us to the restaurant after she realized that we were not having dinner yet and outside was raining heavily. She will recommend a few restaurants as she knew we were just arrived this lovely place. The breakfast is great. Effie cares... More

I would definitely recommend going for a room with ocean views as they are just fabulous and perfect for spotting seals and the occasional otter. The room itself was very clean and comfortable, with a handy in room kettle and tea/coffee/(good quality)hot chocolate. The host, Effie, was very accommodating and friendly. She even took our wet clothes upstairs to dry... More

We had a great stay at this bed and breakfast in august 2011. We arrived on Skye without any planned accommodation and found that a room was just available in this b&b due to a last minute cancellation! Just at the entrance of Portree, in which you might go by foot, this b&b has nice rooms and the view on... More

A very clean, comfortable and welcoming place to stay. Our host Effie was so nice and accommodating - she even drove my mother into town once so she wouldn't have to call a cab. The food was great too and the view was amazing! We hope to get to stay there again - soon!

Myself and my partner stayed here for two nights while in Skye for a wedding. The room was lovely, very clean and had everything you could want, including a gorgeous view. Effie was a great hostess, very helpful and kind. She even ran us into the town! We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Skye.

Just back from a trip to the UK - while there I stayed in 11 different places, and this was the best. The view from the room was AMAZING. The breakfast was not only delicious, but included items we saw no where else on our trip (white pudding - with oats). And our host, Effie Nicolson, was hospitable, informative, gracious... More

A great B&B. Fabulous breakfast served. The charming hostess Effie couldn't do enough of us! Dried our wet jackets and drove us to the centre of town so we could have dinner. Beautiful view of the harbour of Portree.

Amazing views over the bay, we didn't want to leave our room, the view out of the window was like a moving artwork. Especially in midsummer, we watched the clouds move over the bay until 11pm, then left the curtains open so we could see it all again at 3am! Good food and friendly too.
