    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The view overlooking the sea from the house was simply breathtaking, adding a touch of serenity to our experience. We had a delightful time and cherished every moment spent there. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with a stunning view.

    Could do with a bit of weeding and a litter clean up around the property. Possibly debris from the recent high winds.

    Fantastic location and views across the beach and over to Torridon. 10 mins from the Quirang carpark. The property was spacious and well kitted out. Great log burner as well. Comfortable beds.

    Outside a little untidy, needs some renovation. Needs a front door mat. Location quite remote so bring provisions as limited options locally.

    Warm home, Very spacious and modern inside. Lovely views of Staffin bay.

    In room radiators made a lot of sound in the middle of night and required us to turn the knobs to fix them temporarily. Overall the heating information could have been improved. We had a bit of struggle to open the front door as well for the first time, may be instruction could be a bit more precise

    Location was amazing. Views from the place is great and it is closer to all major attractions of Isle of Skye. We had a great time enjoying isle from Taste of Sea. House was also huge and clean and my family enjoyed staying at this place

    This place was absolutely stunning! The location was perfect for us as we wanted to explore the local area, including the Quiraing. The views from the house were breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to witness the sunrise over the beach each morning. The house was immaculately clean upon arrival and quickly warmed up with the cozy log burner in the living room. It was modern, comfortable, and we cannot recommend it highly enough.

    Bit of noisy heating system. Weather was usual Scotish weather so enjoying outdoor sitting on the nice picnic bench in the property was not possible.

    Beautiful location and view of Bay from the Kitchen & Living room. The property is good size for about 8 pax to stay in comfort and fully featured kitchen and facility for family stay.

    Shared shower not working and no response received from any contact number given. Also further away from the water than suggested by the photos and no access from property.

    Beautiful spaces and great accommodation. Very convenient for great walks and lots of major attractions. Walk the Quaraing..amazing.

    Hot water controls in the guest bathroom needs correction. You either get very hot water or cold water. It's difficult to adjust the control. It's very sensitive.

    Location of the property is very good and views from the property are amazing. Very ideal place for a family to come and stay here and relax. Places like "Old man of Storr" is very close by.

    Nothing to complain.

    What did we like? Everything! The rooms, kitchen and bathrooms were very clean, beds comfortable, rooms well maintained and spacious with 2 ensuites. The view was fantastic from the living room and kitchen. Parking is more than enough for 3 cars. Ben, the property manager was very helpful, professional, friendly and went out of his way when we asked for colouring pencils for the children. I will book the Taste of the Sea property when visiting the Isle of Skye again. Can't praise it enough.
