Lovely cottage in a stunning location. Quite spacious and private. Tastefully furnished and decorated. Good pointers for places to visit on Skye. Close to Dunvegan which had plenty of choices for places to eat or take away from restaurants. Would have preferred terrestrial tv rather than internet tv for wet days and there appears to be a fan for possibly circulating air throughout the building which seemed a bit noisy on a couple of nights of our stay. Overall quite pleased otherwise, but a bit stunned when looking at price for same time next year has risen by over 50% on cottages.com.

Everything you needed was in the accommodation. It was lovely and clean and leaving magazines on things to do and the history of the Isle of Sky, also books left on the bedside cabinets were very nice touches.We only had a couple of issues which were dealt with immediately.For us I don’t think there needs to be any changes or additions what so ever.
