The easiest 5 stars Ive ever given! A lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings - you cant beat waking up to a sea view every morning! The owner really had thought of everything, the homemade bread and tea, coffee, sugar and milk was very welcome after a long journey and the place was spotles. I would highly recommend a stay in Beith, its a very cozy and comfortable abode to return to after some exploring on Skye.

What a fabulous cottage! Outlook, view, comfort, well equipped, warm - everything was great! We had a truly wonderful week on Skye staying in Beath. The owner's attention to detail was really appreciated, thank you.Driving on the island takes a bit of getting used to, and camper vans, potholes and passing places are prolific, but a slower pace to the day is part of what makes a good holiday in my opinion!
