Medina - a non-smoking tastefully furnished, centrally heated bungalow with private parking. Set in a peaceful old walled garden surrounded by trees, yet within easy walking distance of the centre of Portree.

On a sunny day, sit outside in the south facing garden where the only sound is of the many garden birds or take a short stroll down to the north shore of Portree bay where seals and herons are regularly sighted. Close by is the popular coastal walk to Black Rock and Scorrybreac, the ancestral home of the Nicholson clan. Experience the wonderful views of the Cuillin Mountains and the Sound of Raasay.

Portree is only a 10 minute walk away from Medina where you will find many excellent restaurants, shops, the bus terminal and the picturesque old harbour from which many boat trips are available.
