We had a very relaxing week in this lovely cottage. Poor weather meant that we spent way longer than expected indoors rather than up in the Cuillins and the conservatory, with the sea view, was a pretty nice place to be.

Our second stay, exactly one year after our first (same week). Well, that says it all, a place worth returning to. Saw some improvements like darker curtains in the bedroom, which is much appreciated. All is as described and shown, and what makes the house so unique is the conservatory. The views... the views... You know, there is one downside to that... It means we often spent more time in the house than initially planned, just watching the tide, the sky, seeing it all change every minute, every hour. Meaning we might have to return once again to see the rest of Skye 😉.

Excellent location on the edge of Broadford Bay with sweeping views of the small islands, Applecross even part of Rona. Various birds are constant visitors and on two evenings a deer settled in the garden. The position by the main road means easy access to all parts of the island and the bridge is within 15 mins drive, the roads to Sleat and Strathaird are very nearby. It’s been recently redecorated since our last visit in 2024 and there’s no doubt we will return.
