I booked this b&b for a last-minute, spontaneous trip to Skye and was very happy with my choice. The owner, Jurriaan, was very welcoming and hospitable. He gave my partner and me a lot of information on local sites to visit and always made sure that everything was alright with our stay. The room was beautiful and immaculately clean and the breakfast in the morning was wonderful. Thank you for a great stay!

We stayed for two nights during our visit to Skye. When looking for accommodations I initially thought I’d have preferred a place closer to the city centre, but actually the location was great and a good home base to explore the island. The B&B is in walking distance (about 10-15 min) to the centre of Portree and very easy to find from the main road. There are parking spots in front of the house. 
Our room was very spacious and clean and had a very nice view onto the bay. There’s also a common room, where you can hang out if you’re not out and about. We were provided with a drawer full of informations about the island. There was even a folder with different walking/hiking routes and a great many tips, prepared by the owner.
The breakfast is delicious and very generous (you can choose between Continental and Scottish). Jurrian, the owner, is very nice and helpful; we always had a little chat in the morning and he gave us lots of advice on what to see and make time for in the short time we had on Skye. 
If you have trouble walking or climbing steps, this might not be the place for you as both the driveway and the stairs inside the house are quite steep. Other than, this is an excellent B&B to stay at! 
A little advice on Portree: If you want to eat dinner at a restaurant, reserve. Seriously, please reserve. Even before the main season starts, you'll have difficulties to find a table without a reservation or waiting for a very long time.

I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Givendale Guest House! We appreciated the homely atmosphere, generous breakfast, comfortable beds, and a beautiful bay view from the balcony. Location is great, just a 4-minute drive from the center and very quiet. The shared bathroom was always clean. Julian took good care of us with any special request we had, and even helped with planning our day trips. Our stay was pleasant and comfortable and we would be happy to stay here again!

Our room was comfortable and clean, the breakfast was amazingly delicious, the host (Jurriaan) was a wealth of knowledge and great conversationalist. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We also received lots of good sight seeing advice from Jurriaan. Great area, and the highlight of our trip to Ireland and Scotland.

We enjoyed our stay at the Givendale Guest House very much. It was comfortable, affordable, and within walking distance to the Portree town square. Our host was available, helpful, and attentive. We would stay there again.

Jurrian is a wonderful host. He really takes time to listen to and reply to his guests.
Brilliant room... Very spacious. Breakfast was a full Scottish one or a real continental one with cheese and ham.
Great location... Close enough to town to walk. 

Rooms are tired and in need of new linen and pillows, but very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was good. Shared bathroom was spotless. Not suitable for people with mobility issues as there are many narrow stairs.

Stayed here for 2 nights of a 12 night Scotland tour.
Great location close to the town centre.
Jurriaan has fabulous knowledge of the area and more than happy to give tips and advice on places to visit.

Great stay on Skye

Comfortable pleasant place

What a great place to stay!!

Good budget accommodation

Great location, great host

Great Stay!

Great place and host!! 

A very tired and dated B&B when I booked breakfast was included my expectation was eating in a dining area and not eating in my room on the bed!!!! There was ample parking but not very good for motorcycles because  of the slope although this is not the owners fault the picture doesn't show how steep it is being a solo rider this made it really difficult.

If you do not need luxury and just want the basics and a safe place to sleep, you'll be fine at Jurriaan's place.  It is small and each room is down the same hallway.  All the very basic-ness aside, Jurriaan was very nice, kind and accommodating.  

I Whatsapp'd him my preferred breakfast juice (got the opposite each day) and time and he rolled his cart down with my selections.  You bring your tray inside, dine, and then back on the cart later.
