    This is a lovely self-catering cottage on a Loch. Although it seemed far from everything on Skye, it wasn't, as you have to drive everywhere in any case! The view from the cottage is magnificent and we were within walking distance of Kilt Rock, weather permitting! The house is extremely comfortable for 4 people and very well appointed. We would definitely stay there again on a future visit. Thank you to the prompt service by the handyman in doing some minor repairs.

    The double bed was very uncomfortable because you feel the springs under the sheets. We couldn’t sleep there and had to sleep on the single beds.

    lovely house, secluded with a nice view of a small lake. very spacious and comfortable. clean. good water pressure. communication with Ben was good.

    Exterior window washers came on the morning of our departure and we were not aware - most windows do not have curtains and I’m afraid they may have seen more than they bargained for as we were showering/getting dressed when they started.

    Beautiful location and cozy for our honeymoon stay! Loved seeing sheep out the window from the tub. Complimentary wine when we arrived. Curious to hear if anybody else felt this place was haunted? Lots of high tech amenities and a tablet to show how to use most.

    WiFi was a little slow and the driveway was too narrow to turn around by the house.

    Peaceful, rural setting, yet close to hiking and to beach. Short drive to Portree for good restaurants and sightseeing boat tour

    Additional bed and/or duvets (as we were family of 5 with an 8yr old kid) would've been nice to have.

    Location was very good, small lake facing. Bigger bathrooms, TV with streaming and Sky cable made it a good experience.

    Nothing, loved it!

    Lovely property, beautiful location. With the property being in a quiet location we had amazing view of the stars, absolutely stunning. Everything was clean and well presented. We had fantastic weather luckily but I wouldn't have minded hunkering down in the house as it was a lovely home away from home. Good location to visit various attractions. We dined in Portree each evening, I would definitely recommend booking restaurants in advance. Great communication from hosts as well, gave us all the information we needed without us having the ask.

    That we had to leave! The only quasi complaint is that we were given the incorrect network and password for the wifi. I suspect this was a mix up of units from the management company but the router had a sticker with the network and password on it. Simple mistake. Super easy fix.

    The location was ideal to explore the Trotternish Peninsula. The view is amazing. The kitchen was well equipped. Firewood supplied and a Christmas tree were lovely touches for our Christmas stay. Everything was perfect!

    only little things that bothered us was no firelighters for the wood burner when we got there. there was a box but no lighters in them! Also a silly thing, no potato masher so if you're cooking, bring your own. Also it does have wifi but it's not very fast, perhaps that's just the broadband speed on the island i'm not sure.

    Fantastic location in Staffin at the top part of the island next to a loch, beautiful and peaceful. Great facilities, log burner, comfy sofas, dishwasher and great bathrooms. The bath needs a mention as it's amazing, and the view from the window is perfect when you go for a bath. recommended!
