Half of 2 is in a stunning location and the cottage is wonderful. We unfortunately arrived just as a big storm hit so were unable to make the most of the time on the island however we were very comfortable in the cottage with an wood burner and lots of books and games to keep us cosy and entertained. The beds were comfy and the shower in the ensuite was amazing! The cottage felt very well looked after with lots of lovely artwork and personal touches. The location is very remote but we loved the peaceful setting and the views from the cottage were just incredible, even in stormy weather! Adi our host checked in on us during the storm to make sure we were safe too.

Lovely and cosy cottage with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. We arrived when it was dark and the cottage was lovely and warm which was much appreciated after a long drive in October time. There was milk in the fridge, some fudge and little wild flowers in vase which was lovely. Views from the cottage amazing. Skye as usual amazing place. We explored Torrin and the Point of Sleat area this time and Broadford not far. Special mention to Amy’s Cakes and Mrs Mack’s wee takeaway! Would love to return to Half of 2 in the future!

A lovely cottage with stunning views of the Black Cuilin mountains and the loch. The cottage is well equipped with everything we needed and offered such a cosy and warm atmosphere, The garden is full of mature trees and shrubs and offers a delightful space to sit and enjoy those magnificent views. We were looking for somewhere that gave us a real sense of being on Skye and Half of Two certainly delivered.
