The Hideout
Description
Sitting in a peaceful location a short walk from Portree centre on the Isle of Skye is this charming, semi-detached cottage, Mill Park.
A single-storey property with a mix of traditional and contemporary interior, the cottage is perfect for a family of four looking for home comforts whilst they explore the Isle of Skye.
Mill Park has off-road parking for two cars on a gravelled driveway, making for a quick and easy arrival; take the side entrance into the welcoming hallway, kick off your shoes, and get settled into the open-plan living space.
The kitchen has plenty of space to unpack your shopping, including an American-style fridge/freezer, and is well-equipped for cooking your favourite meals in a lovely, contemporary setting with a breakfast bar seating four guests.
A spacious utility room can be found next door, which can be accessed via the back door with a wooden bench for taking off muddy boots, and a washing machine and tumble dryer to chuck in dirty clothes after a long walk.
A long day exploring calls for a peaceful evening in the sitting room, where you can close off the space with the curtains to make it even more snug, start the woodburning stove and enjoy a film on the Smart TV, or settle into the sofa with a good book.
With two ground-floor bedrooms, Mill Park offers guests pleasant rooms to unwind in, with minimal décor and built-in storage space in a king-size and a twin.
A smart, contemporary shower room is just across the hall, with a delightful walk-in shower to rinse off the day whilst your towel warms up on the heated towel rail.
Mill Park has two outdoor spaces; a rear patio and a front garden with a lawn area, perfect for a picnic in the sunshine before heading into Portree, only a few minutes walk away.
Set on a natural harbour, the beautiful town offers plenty of restaurants, pubs and shops for a splendid self-catering stay, as well as a variety of activities to suit all guests, from evening performances and culture at the Aros Centre, or head to the coast for sea kayaking.
With plenty of walking routes, the town is within reach of fantastic Isle of Skye attractions, such as Trotternish Ridge for dramatic rock formations and the crystal-clear waters of the Fairy Pools for tranquil swimming.
You’ll also find iconic walks like the Quiraing, Old Man of Storr and Lealt Falls, all showcasing Skye’s rugged beauty.
For panoramic views over the harbour and bay, visit The Lump, or follow the Scorrybreac Circuit, a scenic coastal trail through woodland and along the shoreline.
Sligachan is to the south of Mill Park and an ideal location for those seeking the great outdoors at the Sligachan Waterfalls and Red Cullen viewpoint, whilst the small settlement offers a bar & grill to fuel your day.
Head north for Staffin to try delicious seafood at the Skye Seafood Market, discover ancient fossils at the Staffin Ecomuseum and walk the spectacular path to Staffin Harbour & An Corran Beach.
Dunvegan is a popular location to the west of Isle of Skye, surrounded by incredible coast and woodlands, where Dunvegan Castle & Gardens is a must-see, as well as the Giant Angus Macaskill Museum to learn about the tallest Scotsman ever to have lived, and the tallest recorded true giant.
When it comes to dining, Portree boasts Michelin-rated Scorrybreac, harbour-side favourite Sea Breezes, and Cuchullin Restaurant for authentic local flavours.
For something different, try Gasta’s artisan pizza with a Skye twist, Birch for brunch and coffee, or MacKenzies Bakery overlooking Somerled Square.
Edinbane Lodge offers an innovative destination dining experience just a short drive away.
Mill Park is a delightful home-from-home for adventuring across the Isle of Skye, with all the comforts waiting for you at the end of the day.

What guests are saying
Fantastic place to stay in portree.
We were at the perfect launch point for two full days of adventure. It’s so easy to walk into portree (5-10min walk) to eat at any of the amazing restaurants or grab some groceries at Co-Op. The mudroom is perfect to take off boots and raincoats and the washer and dryer were so helpful to have for quick loads of washing during the stay.
The hideout is such a lovely place very homely and of a high standard we loved it
We had such a nice time at the property – it is nicely decorated, clean, comfortable, and really felt like a home away from home.
Just a couple of tiny points – the description and welcome booklet stated that there would be a starter pack for the woodburning stove; however, there were no logs or kindling, and there was no bin for recycling. Highly recommend the property.
