  We had a lovely relaxing time at Brae of Airlie Farm.

  Bill, the caretaker was very friendly and the information provided by the owner before our stay was fantastic. Positives: Lovely location and views. Beautiful gardens with so much space. The house is lovely, spacious and with loads of interesting and quirky pictures and an amazing selection of books. The ping pong table and dart board are a bonus and we and our teenagers enjoyed many games. The tap water tastes delicious. Not so positive: The WiFi is awful. Not a major problem but it would have been useful to have been told that beforehand. The house needs a bit of love - the flooring, in the main room particularly, is in need of updating and a comfortable sofa would have been wonderful. The sliding doors overlooking the patio don’t feel very secure. The drawers in living room have woodworm so it was impossible to get the games out of them. There is a baby swing in the garden which is a lovely idea but the seat is cracked and actually a health and safety hazard. There are various consoles, dvd players and televisions but very few link together and work. We had to attach the dvd player to the tv in the bedroom because the wires were incompatible with the tv downstairs. The house was very warm, which would be a huge bonus in winter but it would be really useful to provide instructions for the heating, just in case it is 22 degrees outside. (Thankfully Bill came to the rescue) Instructions for the oven would also be helpful. The non-stick pans were in poor condition and obviously the damaged coating is very unhealthy. The games room was a bonus but again needs a little attention. There were only two (proper) ping pong balls (the others didn’t bounce) and only one usable dart. There were lots of random items in the games room that feel like they’ve been abandoned and a pile of DVDs which, despite being an interesting selection, were almost impossible to play, even after we found a compatible tv and wires for the dvd player, because they were so scratched. There is a cattle grid at the entrance to the property which has sunk. Some vehicles would struggle to cope with that. We really enjoyed our stay but it could have been closer to perfect.

  My husband and I returned yesterday from your beautiful property in Skye having had the most fabulous time there.

  I have been many times before however I was introducing my husband to the delights of the island. As you can imagine I was a little nervous having bleated on about the place for years that I had perhaps oversold it, however Skye & Teangue House did their absolute best and he is now as in love with the island as I am. I just wanted to say thank you for allowing us to rent your amazing property. We were blown away from the moment we stepped in with its jaw dropping views and how well it was appointed. We are keen walkers and the space and facilities you have were just perfect for the paraphernalia required to walk in the all-weathers that Scotland throws at you on a daily basis. We walked Skye top to bottom and side to side and whilst some of the drives were a little longer than others, it gave us the opportunity to see the island. Your lounge view in the evening however was always a perfect way to finish off the day........ and the small glass of something alcoholic was purely for medicinal purposes to ease the muscles!!! We were supposed to be travelling with friends however COVID put paid to that but we now have a perfect excuse to return....... if we ever needed another one to add the other substantial list of reasons to come back. Thank you again, you have a truly magnificent property and you've given us some quite amazing memories.

  There is history and personality in this house, the artwork and all the lovely books.

  My teenager who is usually attached to her mobile.put together a pile of books, on top was a biography of Zelda Fitzgerald. I was then questioned mastermind style, not even a chance to google, didn't go well.. So she retired to her lovely room "to watch the wildlife in her chair by the window", with her pile of books. There is plenty of wildlife so we didn't see much of her! If you want a boutique style holiday home, with fluffy cushions and expensive linen, with takeaways on tap this is not the place for you. If you don't like bracing weather and getting wet, muddy feet and feeling slightly damp when out and about, definitely not the place for you. This is a cosy home (get that heating on!), with amazing views, in a lovely area, plenty to do it you are inclined. We seemed hypnotized by the views. It's so peaceful, I loved seeing my woofers looping round the house with big smiley faces. And last but certainly not least, the lovely people, particularly Bill the caretaker. who is fantastic, and helped us with a family issue we had, he couldn't have been kinder. Thank you Bill.

  In general, the property was as described - and warmer than expected.

  The stove in the living room is more for effect than warmth - and only take small-sized logs. The ping pong table and darts board were very much enjoyed. The space afforded by two fridges (one for food; one for drinks!) was also welcome. Despite some of the reviews, we found all of the seating in the living room comfortable, including the new sofa. A few small things would have made it even better: there were only three table tennis bats, and the flights kept falling off two of the darts. A full set of equipment would make it even better. And the DVD player did not have any cables to link it to the TV, or a remote control. Once we had borrowed a cable from the neighbour, we found that it does not connect to the large new TV in the living room: we had to move the smaller TV from the games room into the living room instead, and use the remote control from the upstairs TV. Nonetheless, we had a pleasant time. Although we did not see any of the promised wildlife, the views of the sun and mist rolling over the fields and distant hills was a nice change from city living.

  Just had a great week at the cottage and we have even booked for later in the year.

  the games room was a great asset for when it rained (its scotland and it does rain a lot). the garden was great for archery as well as rifle shooting as a metal target box was provided. the mattress in the main bedroom is solid and i mean solid so its like sleeping on a brick but after a few nights you get used to it, the fridge and and a few cups had not been cleaned so we had to do a little washing but these are minor faults considering the price paid and also the fact that our wee pooch had a ball in such a huge garden. the caretaker bill who lives oposite the cottage is a great help and a very friendly guy, i for one enjoyed talking to him. a fish slice and a small baking tray would be handy in the kitchen, you have no chance of getting eggs out of the frying pan without a fish slice and a small baking tray for small items going into the oven. all in all this is a good property at a cheap price but should the price rise then other holiday cottages would be a better option as it is dated and a liitle uncomfortable in the bedrooms.
