    The log burner is a huge bonus & the whole place heats up really quickly. Everything we needed was supplied. Anything else - we just asked Mr Mackenzie. It was perfect for the dog too - close by beach for walks. Parking no problem. Shop within 1 minute - so no problems.

    On paper this seemed like the ideal property, rural and remote and to be seeing Skye at it best! Mr Mckenzie was very friendly and gave us some great advice but unfortunately he wasn't dog friendly. He wanted us to turn an already dirty rug over, to put the dog bed on. It was very damp with damp patches on the walls and ceilings and I opened the windows through the day but had to shut them at night because of the midges which was fine. There was only £6 in the metre which John gave us another £1. We put some money in but if we had used the the cooker and heating we would have used alot more so there needs to be alot more money fed into the meter as we had already paid for the week. We had absolutely wonderful sunny weather so no need for the heating. We were really disappointed and are really sorry to give this review because he is a nice man.
