Superb getaway for 2 in a modern well-equipped cottage. The friendly owners are nearby, and dealt punctually with a couple of minor issues which arose during our 2 week stay over Christmas and New Year.Harlosh Point is a short easy stroll away, with superb views towards wild islands and the Cuillin Hills, and if you are lucky a white-tailed eagle will fly by, or maybe two! Recommended.

The owner Stuart was friendly and welcoming and lives next door so easy to get hold of if needed. The house was perfect for 2, well equipped, comfortable and warm and within easy reach of lots of walks and attractions. The views from all sides were wonderful, even rabbits came out at dusk. Dunvegan is 10 minutes away and very convenient for food and drink, especially recommend "The Dunvegan" for fixed menu. The wifi in the cottage is very good and it is possible to use wifi calling, if needed. Will definitely be back.

My wife and I stayed 4 nights and were completely overwhelmed at how awesome this Taigh is. Excellent design, wonderful equipment, and very comfortable. Hosts are wonderful folks. It was central to our stay, pretty much anywhere you want or need togo is an hour. We'd highly recommend staying here while you're on Skye.
