Guests say
Taigh Mhairi is a charming cottage praised for its excellent location and comfortable bedding. Guests appreciate its proximity to local amenities and the pleasant walk to Portree centre. The property offers a cosy atmosphere and a garden, with some guests planning to return. However, there are concerns about cleanliness and maintenance that need addressing.
Several reviews mention a lack of cleanliness, with dirty kitchen cupboards, skirting boards, and general untidiness. The need for a deep clean is highlighted, affecting the overall experience.
The cottage's location is highly praised, being well-placed for shops, pubs, and local walks. Its proximity to Portree square and amenities is a significant plus.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While some guests found the beds comfortable and the property cosy, others reported uncomfortable beds and issues with heating regulation.
Facilities are noted to require improvement, with suggestions for additional heating in the kitchen and bathroom. The property is also described as outdated and cluttered, with some maintenance issues like a wobbly handrail.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
