Some dust behind the head of the bed, plugging in the phone chargers exposed that and set off dust allergies.

Great views, clean with a good set of kit equipment. Windows on 3 sides kept house cool but enabling to catch the breeze from multi directions. Close to a good groceries and restaurant / cafe bar. Able to walk to beach area. Good car parking area next to cottage

Location suitable for driving around Skye to see the sites: Old Man of Storr, Fairy Pools, distilleries etc. The entrance was accessed up a few steps, but then everything was on one level. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable; good quality furnishings. Parking space next to cottage. Also, outside space with picnic bench. Although small it was adequate for us (a couple), would also suit a small family with just two young children. We would use again.

FIRSTLY IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SHORT ANSWER, STAY WELL AWAY FROM THIS PROPERTY. we have had problems with the external provider from the start. They did not respond to booking.com messages, UNTIL the payment apparently didn’t go though, THEN we heard from them regularly. In the end I had to go on and pay on their private website, which I was not too comfortable with but we had already committed to this and had rented a car etc. we then received two different emails whereupon one stated in the ONE document that we had to 1 arrange a time with the host to collect keys, 2 get the keys from a key box and 3 that the keys would be in the door and the door unlocked. When I queried this to get clarification with Interhome they blamed the host for this, although when I mentioned it to the host too, they blamed Interhome…. The house is in a beautiful location but that is it. No care or interest is taken with the house/guests comfort as there is mould all over the bathroom ceiling and the WiFi does not work most of the time due to Interhome/the host being too stingy to have an own router in the property, it is shared with another house! For reference I have spoken with locals to the area who have confirmed that the broadband signal is ok in Skye (although not super fast). We tried to phone about these issues but no one got back to us despite trying a few times both with the housekeeper and the host. When I spoke briefly with someone from Interhome after our stay they claimed to know nothing about this and that if I wanted to put a complaint in I would need to go though their complaints process and prove what is wrong with the house. I replied no problem I will write a public review instead. For reference we are currently renting another house in a similarly beautiful location for two-thirds of the price and with bigger and better facilities, we have even met the host, as they had the courtesy to come and say hello!
The location is wonderful and easy to find.
