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.

Great cottage! Had everything we needed and Stuart was great and responsive. It was nice to have a dishwasher and laundry machine. Something to note is that there is no dryer, so you need to hang dry. Also, said hi to the friendly cat too.

This little red roofed cottage is a hidden gem in the beautiful countryside. Fun little single roads to travel, watch out for the sheep, but actually was very easy to find. The place itself was super clean, comfortable and spacious. We felt quite at home, would loved to have stayed longer. The hosts were super friendly.
