We arrived to a beautifully well equipped holiday home. Clean, warm and comfortable. Views spectacular and the sound of birds and sheep surrounded us. House well equipped with kitchen utensils, equipment and fabulous washing machine and good size fridge freezer. Living room cosy and great to sit and chat in the evening after a busy day sightseeing. Bedrooms very cosy and comfortable and restful sleep had by all. Bathroom with shower was great for our family. Folding chairs for outside on balcony to wile away the evening or to sit and have coffee in the morning. Single track road easily...more
Daisy Cottage is a very well equipped, comfortable house with fantastic views over the loch and great neighbours - sheep and cows! It is only 20 minutes to Portree and relatively close to most of the attractions of Skye. It was easy to find and the check-in/check-out process was painless. The only thing that would have been helpful is a property specific welcome folder. There are no instructions for the oven etc.
Absolutely loved this cottage, and the location. A little piece of heaven. It's close to so many beautiful hikes, little museums, and the perfect getaway from the city life. Interior: Can't complain about a thing! The cottage decor is beautiful. The kitchen is well-stocked, having a washing machine is incredibly useful. Everything you need for your visit to the majestic Isle of Skye. Exterior: For visitors not familiar with croft/farm stays (including me), the cottage is set within a working farm, so, after you enter the first gate, you'll be (carefully) driving through sheep to get...more
We absolutely LOVED our stay at Taigh Cill Chriosd in July this year. There were three couples travelling together, and it was perfect for this group. It was fully equipped, and we didn't find a single thing that we wanted or needed that the cottage didn't have. The beds were comfortable, and it was impeccably clean. The cottage was a short drive outside of the village, with a beautiful view of a little loch.
Great location in Portree with groceries, restaurants, and shops right there. We were able to explore the island in all directions, and then enjoyed coming back to relax at the end of the day. It's also walking distance to the start of the Scorrybreac path with its gorgeous views. Having a parking spot right across the street was great. The house is on the main road with a lot of people stopping across the street to take photos of the view of the harbor, but it was surprisingly quiet inside the house, so we didn't notice, and we had the bonus of seeing the gorgeous and picturesque view of the ...more
This is one of the best cottage’s we stay in! It was so comfortable and clean and with the best views. Very welcoming and friendly, also very dog friendly. We loved that they gave us some dogs treats and biscuits for the dogs. Definitely recommend this place and definitely come back again in the future.
Very comfortable house, in a spectacular position overlooking Staffin Bay. Well equipped kitchen, good utility room for drying wet coats, boots etc!
Fairy Glen Cottage is ideally positioned for exploring the Isle of Skye; not far to go to Portree and Dunvegan and in easy walking distance to fairy glen. The cottage is exceptionally well-kept, clean and, like its owner Alex, welcoming. We love it and thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Wish it could have been longer...
The Mill was a very comfortable and clean place to stay. The property is very good equipped and has a good location to explore the Isle of Skye.
We have stayed at Taig Druim several times and absolutely love it. The house is perfect for our family of 4, views are stunning and it is so peaceful. In my opinion the nicest part of Skye. We can’t wait to return.
We felt very comfortable in Ruadh. We were given such a warm welcome by our landlord that we felt like family. The house was in perfect condition, clean, warm and cozy. We saw deer in the evening and rabbits in front of our house in the morning. We felt like it was our home. Our landlord was very friendly and available at any time. We love this house!
The perfect place to come back to after a day out exploring Skye. The home was warm, clean, modern and with everything we needed. We watched some fantastic sunrises from the open windows which capture the views perfectly
We were a group of 8 people. Everything worked perfectly, from check in to check out. The beds were comfortable and the house was modern and clean. Nice views from all bedrooms. Thank you!
The cottage was blissful. Perfectly secluded, fully appointed (maybe more so that the description would have led us to believe), and surrounded by birdsong and beauty. Everything we could possibly have wanted, inside and out. It was such a peaceful stay, and a brilliant base for our explorations around the island.
Our second visit - very comfortable with lovely stylish touches. Everything we needed. Garden is beautiful and still maturing and developing. The outdoor facilities are as good as indoors with pizza oven and fire pit. The electric charging point was an added bonus for us. The pulley too is an added feature for those wetter days! The beds are super kings in the “double rooms”. Our only slightly picky comment is that the fitted sheets appear too small for the super king. Also a nice touch would be extra wide pillows to better fit the super king! Bathrooms are very well appointed. Kitch...more
Very clean, well-equipped, spacious and cosy appartment in a wooden hut. Wonderful quiet garden. Easy self check-in. Walking distance to the town and harbour of Portree. Very lovely and helpful owners next door.
We have had a wonderful stay at Ard Choille. The property had everything we needed for a week and the sunroom boasted beautiful views which were ever changing due to the weather in Skye.
The cottage felt like a home from home but in a superb location, having stayed in many cottages Finnans Byre stood out as easily the best..
Cottage was really clean and had everything we needed during our stay. The sun-room was extremely comfortable and we spent many hours reading and watching the weather unfold on the bay/mountains. The sunsets from this room were awesome. The owner lives nearby and is very helpful. The relatively central location is perfect for exploring the rest of Skye. Very peaceful location with beach 5 mins walk away. We had an amazingly relaxing time and hope to return to the cottage again in the future.
We had a great stay at Alderburn. The cottage was perfect for our small group of family and friends and we definitely hope to make it back soon.
We have been to the Taobh na Mara for the fifth time and are still thrilled. Everything is perfect: Cottage, view, location, atmosphere! It's our 40th holiday in Scotland and we have been to many cottages. Nothing compares to this one. Add to that the light on the Isle of Skye is fantastic. We plan to return.
I stayed with my 8 friends and our dog and it was the most amazing house we could've picked. We loved the hot tub, the huge fridge freezer for all our cooking and the two dishwashers for clearing up afterwards. The beds were so comfy and each of us having an ensuite for our rooms was such a luxury. It was lovely to have our dog with us and we loved the view of the sunset from the house.
Tucked away in a very quiet village, this is an ideal base for getting round Skye . It had everything we needed and was very comfortable, with modern fittings and a fantastic view over the loch at the front. Shops in Portree are a 30 minute drive away, there is a pub next door.
An Caladh was a lovely place, very well equiped and nicely decorated. We were happily surprised to find all the furnitures we needed not only to cook, but also to pack our lunches. Attention taken to small details was really appreciated :) We had questions about the use of the cooker, and the host answered really fast to our messages. You can warmth by the fire, take a warm shower, get good rests under warm blankets... The only "disappointment" was the wifi that was really bad during our stay. Apart from this point, I strongly recommend this property for your stay on Skye.
Lovely chalet, lovely position. Well equipped and comfortable. only drawback is lack of enclosed garden for dog owners. We had a relaxing stay.
Our group of six spent three nights in Portree and stayed at the Tarradale Cottage. Absolutey LOVED IT! We didn't have a car, so we walked to the town square for dinner each night and it was a lovely walk with sidewalks the whole way. The view at the cottage is stunning! We had a problem with the toilet in one of the bedrooms, but they had it fixed promptly. I would stay there again if I ever get back there.
Absolute beautiful and spacious cottage. Large kitchen with all equipment provided. All spotless. Living room, bedrooms, bathroom all spacious and modern furnished. The cottage has a beautiful view on the surroundings. Central place to explore the West part of Skye
Just stayed last Monday to Friday 2/9 to 6/9 and the property was excellent bedrooms very good size and the lounge/kitchen open plan and very spacious. The location was brilliant for visiting parts of the Island we wanted to go to. Would 100% recommend this little gem of a place.
Tigh Anndra is a beautifully equipped cottage for a couple. We have been twice and just love the wilderness of the cottage, just sweeping views of the mountains. It is a special place for us, watching the swallows fly and the sheep come and go across from the moor. There is a handy bus service that can get you to Portree and Uig. We liked the lack of wifi. It gave us time to truly disconnect. Thank you Angus for our stay.
This was our first trip to Skye and what an amazing place to stay. The property is absolutely lovely and the view over Rum is just stunning. The property is well appointed with everything you could need and has full streaming access for collapsing on the couch at the end of the day. The property was clean on arrival which is very important to me. The roads too and from the property are single track and intimidating the first time but once used to them they are totally worth it. Our stay wasn’t long enough. Only thing to be aware of is the heating / water system hums quite loudly pa...more
First time back to Skye in twenty years and what an excellent property and location to celebrate this. Looking out over Staffin Bay every day was amazing as it changed every day, we even had a dusting of snow on the day we left. The property is perfectly laid out and warm with the patio doors overlooking the bay adding to the overall experience. Plenty of very nice walks nearby, especially An Corran beach for the dinosaur footprints, still debating if we saw them or not. The local Staffin stores carried a lot of the basics required with Portree having more to offer. Islands and ...more
Tidal cottage is a lovely place to stay for a few days, very peaceful. We saw otters in front of the cottage on a nightly basis.
Everything was even better than we hoped. All items in the cottage worked. The view was outstanding and the location allowed for easy travel all around the island.
Mike was a great host - we have been travelling for about 4 weeks using AirBnB's etc. and Mike was the first host to actually greet us in person, show us around the property and make sure we were comfortable. The facilities were terrific and the range of supplies he provided as a 'welcome gift' was wonderful. The location was just a couple of hundred yards from the centre of town in a residential area, so it was quiet but close enough to walk to everything in Portree. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
We had a great time staying at Willowbank Cottage. It was very quiet and clean, and we appreciated the kitchen ammenities for cooking.
We had a great stay at 9 Achnacloich, the cottage was perfectly clean and very well equipped with all mod cons. It is in an excellent location with beautiful views, the photos don't do it justice. Large well equipped kitchen with large dining table and couches to enjoy the lovely view, and small extremely cosy lounge with log burner to enjoy a glass of wine. Will definitely return to this wonderful cottage.
I stayed at 5 Airbnbs while in Scotland and this was by far my favorite! I loved this sweet little cottage. It was cozy and I felt right at home instantly. The view from the living room window was incredible. My favorite parts were the cozy bedroom and the skylight above the bed. It was so cool to look up at night and see the moon and stars. The owners next door are super sweet and hospitable as well. If I ever come back to Skye, I will definitely be staying here again!
We visited Bay View Bungalow for the second time. It was a great clean cottage in a very nice location - quiet but not too secluded. Everything inside was kept in a perfect working order. Kitchen was fully equipped for meals at home. Fireplace was a huge plus and views from the windows were to die for. Communication from the rental company were very helpful, professional and friendly. There were a couple of local shops and a bigger shop in Portree. Attractions were accessible via a very scenic roads. Nice hiking route was just behind the cottage. We really enjoyed our time in the cottage an...more
Really enjoyed our stay at the Old School cottage. Lots of space, high quality furniture, very clean, great showers. Lovely location looking across the water, and great location for exploring Skye to the north and south.
A quiet picturesque location. Comfortable cottage. More wardrobe space would be helpful. On the whole a fantastic place to holiday.
Check-in was smooth. Communication with the rental company was easy and quick. The apartment is nice and clean and serves as a good base for excursions. The kitchen is quite sparsely equipped, and the heaters are rather loud because there's a lot of air in the system. As a result, they are not very efficient in heating. The beds are very comfortable. We had a good time in the accommodation. We especially loved the loggia due to the beautiful view.
Smaller than we expected from the online photos. Needs hooks on the back of the bathroom door and bedroom doors and more storage in the kitchen. The kitchen would also benefit from having somewhere to hang a hand towel & tea towel. Luckily we bought an extra quilt each to put on top of the mattresses as a previous review said they weren't very comfortable so that didn't cause any problems, We found the settees hard to get up from as they were very low but that's an age thing. We were very lucky to have amazing weather for the time of year but potholes were horrendous which was a big problem ...more
Not easy to find after leaving the main road; directions could be improved. Steep path and steps down to cottage, not suitable for infants or the infirm. One storage heater switch not working, Velux blind in bedroom faulty. Leak under lavatory cistern. A few items could usefully be added to the kitchen. Dead insects inside one duvet cover. But: clean inside, warm, good views. I imagine tenants do not report faults so they are not rectified.
This little duplex was perfect for all of our needs while on Skye. While I noticed that it was located close to the water, it wasn’t clear that we actually had an idyllic view of the coast from the windows, not to mention being a quick 15 minute drive to the Quiraing. Very happy with this place, and would love to come back!
Keeper’s cottage was perfect for our family needs. It was very clean and had everything we needed in a holiday home. Staffin is in a beautiful area of Skye - beaches wonderful. Thank you
A very well equipped appartment near the center of Portree. A good selection of games and literature about Skye is also provided.
A lovely cottage with all you need included. Perfect living room and kitchen, we really felt at home very much. A very nice garden and terrace and a narrow view to Loch Slapin.
Glen Osdale was a warm and comfortable home for our week on the Isle of Skye. Its central location was helpful for many of the places we visited, and the views were good when the weather allowed.
Florrie's is a very comfortable holiday home. A lovely bed, a beautiful bathroom, a comfortable sofa, a well-equipped kitchen, a beautiful view over the bay and also a garden. Very cosy!
I have been several times to this cottage. It has stunning views of the hills and the sea. Staffin bay is just down the road. A shop is close by with a really good cafe. The cottage is comfortable and clean. The beds are so comfy, we all slept well. I would recommend this.
Great stay. My only deduction of points for the comfort was the sofas in the lounge, whilst good, one had the unfortunate habit of sliding down on the seats!
We had a lovely week staying in the cottage. It had everything we needed, including a very useful dryer for when the weather was a bit damp! The enclosed garden was excellent for our energetic dog, with a wonderful view across the water to the next peninsula. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for us all. The location might be a little remote for some people, but we really appreciated the peace and quiet, when the rest of the island was busy with summer visitors. There are good walks from the door, and excellent tea and cake at the Yurt Cafe just down the road. The owner ca...more
We had another fantastic stay at 21 upper, we are coming here for years and never get bored of the beautiful views and cosy feeling of the cottage. It has al the comfort and gives you a relax feeling. The only thing that I can comment is about the bathroom that really needs a update.
This was the perfect home base for our time on Skye! The kitchen was well equipped for the meals we made. We very much enjoyed the wood burner in the evenings, and the location was beautiful!
Thank you - a lovely and clean home in beautiful Torrin. Close to Broadford and Elgol and lots of walks, hills and beaches
I have stayed many times at the Stationmaster's House but this is the first privately. Good accommodation and location.
We had an enjoyable week in Bridge Cottage. The cottage is nicely decorated and cleaned to a high standard. The kitchen is not very well equipped. Not enough tableware, glasses, cutlery, pots and pans. Hot water was very intermittent, managed just 1 shower at a time before the water cooled. Outside bins must have been used by ramblers or not emptied as we had to clean out rotting food from them on day 1. Skye itself is fabulous and well worth a visit.
This was our second trip to Allt Slapin. Had another wonderful week. The area is so beautiful with lots of amazing scenery. The cottage is a calming place to return to after long walks and you can still enjoy the views and wildlife from it. It is well equipped and a comfortable place to stay and unwind.
Very comfy flat, in great location, very close to Staffin beach. It was just what we wanted, next door to Keeper’s Cottage.
A comfortable and well-appointed cottage on the quiet and out of the way Sleat peninsula. The beds were comfortable and the shower was excellent. The booking process and getting the key etc was straightforward and everything went without a hitch. The location is beautiful although the weather when we were there was appalling, so we unfortunately weren't able to make the most of our visit. Fortunately the house was a cosy and quiet refuge to retreat to when the gales and rain were lashing outside. The only negative was that the fireplace in the lounge smoked so much as to be no use and also...more
Nice location . Loads of space inside with everything you needed . Could do with outside seating , one old flaky bench at the front door , grass overgrown and an old fridge freezer outside not nice to look at. Would have been very piecfull if it weren’t for the 2 dogs constantly barking next door.
The cottage needs a renovation, especially for that price. Besides wonderful looks it is situated quite far away from the main areas of Sky. Just Dunvegan Castle is nearby.
Very tidy cottage, cozy living area, well equipped kitchen and serviceable bathroom. The location of the house by the water, while still just off the main road, means you get to enjoy the beautiful surrounding coastal landscape (with a great view of Scalpay to boot) all the while having no trouble getting back on the road to see the sights of Skye. A short (10 minute) drive to Broadford to get your shopping done and you can easily retreat back to the quiet of the cottage to settle down with a book on the comfortable couches. There are quite some DVDs for younger children available should the w...more
