    We couldn’t fault our stay.

    We loved the view and the walk down to the colony of Seals nearby! It was also lovely of the hosts to leave some baked goods upon arrival.

    A microwave would have made cooking easier.

    Wow...the view! Lie in bed and look out the huge window on to the Loch! There are binoculars too. This cabin is a tardis....looks small from the outside but roomy inside. Cosy too. And a generous welcome basket with cereals, pastries, milk and orange juice. The seal colony up the road was an added point of interest! Would I come back? YES!

    We have enjoyed every second of our stay. Skye was definitely the highlight of our honeymoon so far and we will be back. Neil and Kirsten gave great tips regarding our itinerary, the breakfast basket and the delicious muffins were a wonderful surprise. The cottage is so cozy, very comfy bed and breathtaking view. Would definitely recommend.

    Everything - the cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed. Appreciated the cereal milk juice coffee and cupcakes. Stunning view. We got lost in that window outlook - bunkered down during the rainy windy weather and soaked up the atmosphere. Neil was very helpful with local knowledge.

    The bed, while being comfy, is on the smaller side (probably 140 x 180 cm) and has a bed end so is a bit small for tall people. Not an accommodation comment, but worth noting in general: a lot of the roads on the isle are severely damaged and can be difficult to navigate.

    The cottage was great! It was beautifully decorated and had an amazing view over the water. The cooking facilities were ideal and we had everything we needed. The detailing in the furnishing was fantastic. The breakfast basket for the first morning was excellent! Coffee and tea was also much appreciated. The instructions for finding the place and getting the key were clear. We did not need to interact with the owners, but it was nice they came out to say hello and check everything was okay. The information book provided had excellent information about Skye and how to make the most of our time at the cottage. The location was also good. It was easy to access all the points of interest on the isle and Portree was only 15 mins away by car for groceries etc.

    the road to the cottage has a few pot holes so careful navigating is required but easy to drive around

    decorated lovely with perfect facilities. Very helpful and welcoming hosts. Great location to experience the quiet life of the Isle Of Skye and meant a fortunate view of a seal colony (recommended by the hosts)

    Not very easy to navigate the gravel on the road and track leading to and from the cottage.

    Perfect for a couple of days to rest and explore Skye mid motorbike tour of the Highlands. Loved being able to watch the wildlife on the loch through the huge window as well as from outside.

    We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage. The place is incredibly cozy, with a modern bathroom and a small kitchen that provides anything you would need to make your own meals. There even was a small coffee machine for our use, which I really appreciated. Most of all, Neil and Kirsten were fantastic hosts and did not only make us feel very welcome at the accommodation, but also gave us great advice on what to see and do in the area. We'd recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat and hope to be back some day.
