  Burnside cottage was amazing .

  ...from location to accommodation 10/10. We were met by the owners mother who showed us around the cottage , explained heating etc and reassured us they were only a phone call away if we needed assistance , which we didn't but felt safe in the knowledge they were there to help. The cottage faces full on to the loch with a huge set of picture windows in the huge open plan living area, with 5 leather recliners and foot stools to sit in and admire the view ...pick a seat , pick a window and just relax and take it all in !! The cottage sleeps 5 and we were only 2 so it was huge , there is an ensuite with the double room and a large family bathroom with a bath which was fully utilised after walking every day . The kitchen is fully stocked with everything u can think of ... there's even a slow cooker if you want to put a stew on before u go out for the day !! Everything is very clean and well appointed . Under floor heating ensures the cottage is always the perfect temperature. Full laundry facilities also . All in all feel lucky to have gotten a last minute booking as you can see its almost fully booked through the seasons . We will definitely stay again given the opportunity . As an aside this location feels perfect for exploring the whole island as its more or less in the middle . There's also a large well stocked co-OP 7 miles away in Portree for every provision.

  We stayed at Twosome in Jan 2025, it was very pretty and just like the photos on the website.

  The owner greeted us when we arrived and had made sure the cottage was nicely warmed for us when we arrived. He was friendly and very informative about places to go in the area. Lovely bottle of fresh apple juice and jug of milk was left out for us which we thought was a nice touch. The central heating is very good so no need for us to use the wood burner.However just a couple of things to be aware of ..as the property is dog friendly we had a very muddy dog most days after walking around the adjoining fields so by the 3rd day we had several wet muddy towels draped everywhere. We thought it might have been beneficial to replace the dishwasher what we didnt think was necessary with a washing machine. Plus a mop and bucket would have been handy to clean the floors as they are painted white.Cushions on sofa and arm chair could do with a freshen up but other than that a beautiful little country retreat.

  The instructions you are emailed on how to collect your keys is great.

  We got in nice and easy in no time at all completely independently. The accommodation was lovely and clean, very spacious. The bed was super comfy and loved the added touch of tea and coffee. I do however think that it should be mentioned on the listing that the property came with a toaster and air fryer. Also I was a little disappointed that there wasn’t a long tall wall mirror. The Wi-Fi was a little temperamental but wasn’t too much of an issue. The hot tub is a lovely added touch but wasn’t a fan of the grated fence around top of the wall as people walking up the main stairs to get to there chalet could see you. Also on departure we could not find a industrial bin in order to put all our rubbish in. Overall chalet 2 is fantastic. I would definitely stay again

  Burnside Cottage on the Isle of Skye was amazing.

  The position with views over the Loch from the fabulous panorama window in the lounge were stunning. The gardens were well stocked & looked after. James, the owner, had thought every little detail to make our stay comfortable & enjoyable. The fixtures & fittings & furniture were top quality, & it was like home from home! There were so many little additions which you do not usually get in rented accommodation, e.g. herbs, ice packs & a fitted picnic cool bag, umbrella, games, videos, t.v.'s in each bedroom, toiletries etc.etc. plus a box of fudge & roses!! I defy anyone to have a complaint & would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone. Well done James ( with the help of mum & dad!!)

  The cottage was very modern, extremely well presented throughout and immaculate inside.

  The little touches and provisions were a most welcome asset as the rural setting does mean a car journey of a few miles to the local shop. There was nothing we lacked and the cottage is fitted out to a very high standard. It was in a beautiful setting and we were treated to a glorious sunset and the most amazing views of the stars and the Milky Way. The island has many beautiful places to visit, small bays and dramatic views, we were blessed with good weather and we had a lovely base from which to explore. The locals were very friendly and helpful and Portree was a cute little harbour town. We would not hesitate to book Burnside Cottage again.
