What our customers say about their holidays

• Steve - Verified booking

  We didn't book a holiday in Skye because of the lovely weather, so we were spoiled by clear blue skies and sunshine all week.

  Because of the lovely weather, we didn't really get to use the house as much as we might have otherwise, but if we had, it had everything we could have asked for. It was warm, comfortable, well-equipped, and clean and very well presented. Really we could not have asked for anything more. It is ideally located for exploring Skye. It seemed to be in the middle of the island and everywhere we wanted to visit was only ever a relatively short and picturesque drive away. A car is necessary for this holiday I think to get the most out of it as it is quite rural, but that gives you a very quiet location and off-road parking which far outweighs the need of a car for us. This is a really lovely house which we feel very lucky to have found.

  The host was helpful and communicative throughout and moved heaven and earth to replace a broken tumble dryer for us quickly and efficiently!

  The cottage itself is in a stunning location and is so homely. The beds are comfortable, towels fluffy, there is plenty of crockery and cutlery in the kitchen and the rooms are warm and cosy. The wetroom was a real bonus for our party of seven and hot water was never an issue. WiFi was fairly reliable for the remote location and there was a wealth of local info laid out for us to peruse. We parked two large vehicles easily. This was a fabulous location from which to explore the island and although blissfully quiet and peaceful it is easy to get to Portree for shopping, which was great for making up picnics for our day-long adventures in this incredible place.

  We stayed on the Isle of Skye for a week at 6 Knott which was obsoletely idea for exploring the island.

  It's located just a 15 minute drive north of Portree (the main town) making it very central and accessible to most areas of interest. The cottage is located on a very quiet lane with views over the hills and the loch. It has a secure garden which was great for the dog. It is spacious with a kitchen/ dining room, two living rooms, one with a wood burner and one with an open fire, downstairs toilet/ shower room, upstairs bathroom with bath/ shower and 3 bedrooms We used the wood burner and it made the cottage lovely and cosy. Its a great place!

  This was a very charming cottage.

  I strongly recommend you change your expectations upon departure. It was inappropriate and a hardship to have to put all dishes/glasses etc back after running dishwasher and having to put all bedding in bags and take the recycling as well. Of the three other places we stayed they had no departure requests period! 7 people-2kids all our luggage and trying to get breakfast and out by 10 was a nightmare. You should also not schedule a groundskeeper to mow grass on a day you have guests (while we were eating breakfast!).

  We had a fantastic time at Knot Cottage.

  Located in the very tiny village of Knot this cottage is ideal for a family and for couples with all the home comforts you would expect these days including tv and wifi. A ten minutes drive from Portree and Dunvegan Castle it is perfectly located to visit the wonders of the north end of Skye. We have had fantastic communication throughout the booking especially during these difficult times we are all in. This was the perfect cottage in a beautiful location, to relax, unwind and switch off.
