Wigwam Holidays

Amazing location and we were left to get on with it. Communication with the owners was friendly and helpful. The pods are superb with hot running water, toilet, electrics, shower etc. They just need some imagination to make clever use of the space as there is hardly anywhere to put anything. This could definitely be resolved with a fresh set of eyes and some practical application. I found that the range of kitchen utensils were not quite adequate, basic things like a colander, small pairing knife, scissors etc were missing. All in all I would highly recommend this site!

The owner is very hostile. Long story short, we stopped our campervan in the parking spot just across from this property. My father, who is not a native English speaker, went to throw out our trashbag in what turned out to be the bins of this property, at the bottom of the hill, just beyond some gates which were partially opened. Less than five minutes passed and a pick-up truck skirted to a stop beside us. The owner got out steaming, growling and shaking as he spoke. He screamed, swearing at us and calling us freeloaders, telling us to return to our country as this was his land, along with some other harsh xenophobic obscenities, coming right up to our face and acting very menacing. It was very alarming, and I was worried for my familys safety. He ordered us to remove the trash and as we went to do so, he jumped back into his truck, driving to the gate in full speed. We were all concerned he was going to drive into my father and I. My dad immediately removed the trash and apologized, and again this man remained hostile. He then sped off, leaving us speechless. Needless to say our evening was completely ruined, as we were all left shocked and, quite frankly, scared. I feel bad for my family, for whom it was their first time in Scotland. They got a completely skewed perspective of otherwise great Scottish hospitality.

We stayed three nights at the Wigwam pods in Portree and really enjoyed our accommodation. The pod is spacious, comfortable and well equipped with en-suite bathroom (towel rail was a big plus!), a fridge with a freezer compartment, hob, kettle, toaster plus ample crockery & cutlery, including a bottle opener. Having hot water was great. You can preorder a fire bowl with kindlings and logs for 10. The location is incredible with beautiful views of the Black Cuillin. There are 10 pods but spaced out very well with individual access paths so you can enjoy privacy. The Wigwams are just outside Portree with plenty local amenities including a great visitor centre with very helpful staff and free WiFi, many cafes and restaurants, a fantastic shop Just Hooked with fresh oysters, langoustines and lots of other freshly caught local seafood, very reasonably priced. We took a wildlife spotting tour with MV Stardust tours and saw two whales, a sea eagle and lots of seals. We visited in August and the temperature was comfortable during the night, a light sleeping bag was enough to keep us warm. Smoke alarm is very efficient and may will go off during cooking (7am in our case when we were making a fry up - sorry!). Margaret and Neil were very friendly and helpful, fabulous hosts. A very comfortable and enjoyable break with lots of new memories made! Highly recommended and we would definitely stay again.
