The WiFi was not reliable for some reason while we were there and unfortunately there had been a water incident with the upstairs shower but the owner was very apologetic about the situation and luckily there is a second shower.

Clean, cozy, well equipped (some of us really loved the heating blanket...nice touch). Being able to light a fire in evening was very much appreciated. Very quiet area, a bit out of the way but centered for most tourist attractions on Skye. Would have loved to have stayed longer, have to time to walk around the area (see the beach). If ever we come back to Skye, we would love to stay here again.

It was cold out, but with provided oil radiators and lighting a fire soon warmed us up. Plenty of room in the house, we slept very well. TV and internet didn't work very well, but we didn't really need it, and it was nice to switch off. We'd stay again!
