  There was an unusual unclean/stale smell every time returning back to the property from being out.

  There was no hand soap available in the bathroom. The bathroom has mould, cracked sealant and gaps around the bathtub. The door does not close and the lock is just for show. The sofas and furnishings were tired and carpet had multiple stains on. The front door leaked in when it rained. The carpet on the stairs is coming away near the bottom. The fire alarm battery needed changed (as it was beeping repeatedly). So we took it down and noticed it wasn't a hard wired alarm and had a replacement date that had expired. Furthermore, we both experienced a case of bed bugs bites. We didn't raise anything with the owners as for us, we were out most of the day most days. And for how long we were staying it 'served a purpose' of giving us a roof. The cost for what we got is saddening as the cost doesn't reflect the quality of the rental by a country mile. The paintwork and general upkeep and maintenance of the property is severely lacking and I wouldn't recommend anyone stay here. Id appreciate a refund but doubt that will happen so will have to chalk it up to a bad experience and be cautious of Skye's other rentals on the site.

  Lovely quiet location.

  Access is down a short single track lane but very quiet as we didn't encounter another vehicle during our weeks stay. Barn was spotless, right down to shiny clean cutlery, immaculate fridge/freezer & shiny taps. Spacious & light accommodation. Beds were excellent. Linen & towels excellent quality. Shared courtyard but both properties were well screened. Had a warm welcome from Jane the owner....the only negatives we encountered during our stay were lots of flies ( but a fly swat is provided ), which is just down to it's country location. And the no smoking, which also applied to our outside courtyard seating area. Although it was advertised as a no smoking property, maybe it should also include the fact that there is also no smoking allowed in your garden area. I only mention this as a negative as my elderly Father smokes a pipe & missed sitting outside in the early morning, having a cuppa & a puff of his pipe. That is just personal to our stay & may not affect the majority of other parties staying at the accommodation.

  Redwood Lodge is a lovely log cabin, new 2024.

  It is comfortably furnished with every thing you need. Sofas and bed very comfortable. Only downside for us was the height of the dining chairs. My wife is not very tall and also being disabled she could not reach to sit on the chairs, we thought this might be a problem for us as the pictures of the interior of the lodge showed the chairs, so we used the coffee table for our meals. The height of the dining chairs would not be a problem for most people. The lodge is off a quiet main road along a hard surfaced driveway about 100 metres from the main road. Very quiet and peaceful location. The lodge has ample room for two people. The owner Sally-Anne welcomed us upon arrival and showed us around the lodge explaining anything we were unsure about. We would recommend this lodge without hesitation

  We stayed in Billy's cottage for a week.

  The place was clean and well equipped and very cosy. We have 2 dogs and there were spare bowls and poo bags available. Not ultra modern but more cottage vibes as described. The stairs are steep but again it was in the description. I personally was not keen on the induction hob and struggled a bit with it but we didn't cook much. It did work, I just couldn't get my head around it properly. The kitchen was very well equipped. The place is just far enough out of town to be quiet but close enough not to be remote. There are shops close by and an amazing pie shop round the corner. We found it very easy to get to all the places we wanted to visit, the location for us was ideal. We loved it there and would love to visit again.

  Our stay at Billy’s Cottage could not have been better!

  The property was warm, clean and inviting. Every last detail had been thought of with plenty of towels, tea towels and cleaning/washing supplies available for us to use. The tea, coffee, sugar and milk ready and waiting in the fridge was a pleasure to arrive to after a long drive. The instruction booklet provided was informative and provided us with everything we needed to know about the property. The beds were comfortable and the room were well sized with plenty of storage for our clothes during the week. The view from the garden was stunning (even in the poor weather)! Literally everything had been thought of! Cannot fault this place at all, fantastic stay and cannot wait to book again ☺️
