  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.

  This is an amazing cottage if you want to have a chill out and would also be ideal for walkers.

  My daughter and I went for a week's chill out as she needed a break from work. Travelled in all directions and took in the amazing scenery around this area. Christine is an amazing host, even greeted us with two glasses of whisky. She is very friendly and cannot do enough for you. Looks out onto the glen where cows and sheep wander and trees outside cottage where we watched the woodpeckers appear regularly a well as many other birds. Only 12 miles from Drumnadrochit where you can eat in Fiddlers Restaurant and taste some of their amazing malt whiskies. An amazing village just to have a wander in. Nearby is Beauly and a wee bit further on Dingwall. We even drove to Ullapool and the scenery was amazing. First class in every way well maybe the weather was a wee bit disappointing but did not bother us.

  The property was as described and we enjoyed our stay.

  We didn’t use the hot tub and perhaps this should be offered as an option so that if it is not used, the cost of making it available is saved. We noted the request to keep the bathroom ventilated and quickly understood why as we had some wet weather and the atmosphere outside was noticeably damp to us. Perhaps the bathroom should have an independent electric radiator that can be left on when the rest of the heating is not needed, just a thought. It is a lovely property and suited our needs well. The area has a lot to offer and we had no difficulty filling our days. The area is generally quite flat and the side roads are well signed for walking and cycling. There is good information in the Bothy about local walking and cycling routes. Recommended.

  Ralston Bothy is an absolute gem of a cottage.

  It was spotlessly clean and Laura-Jayne, our extremely kind and friendly host, ensured everything was in place for our comfort and enjoyment. The gloriously peaceful, enosed garden was just perfect as our dog could wander around without fear of escape. It has a lawned area, a decking area with a bistro set and a beautiful orchard which was a mass of knee high daisies. It really looked glorious with the sun shining through as we sat listening to the birds. The hot tub was a real bonus to come back to after a day exploring the area. There are lovely walks at the bottom of the drive through woods and on to the old railway lines. We would thoroughly recommend it and if you are lucky enough to book you will not be disappointed.

  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!!)
