Great property, with a nice location. Just enough out of the way, but not far to Portree. Highly recommended and I would go back
I was on Skye for a photography trip and the accommodation was ideal for my needs. The chalet was warm, comfortable and well equipped. In short I lacked for nothing.
The cottage is well thought out, with everything you need for a self catering holiday to hand. Well equipped and nicely located just a few minutes walk from Portree, it is a lovely base to explore the island from.
We had the most amazing stay at The Ploughman’s Cottage. Location is perfect and exactly what we wanted - it’s right in between Portree and Dunvegan and near to Waternish so perfect for driving around but has restaurants (Edinbane Inn and Edinbane Lodge) just 5 minutes walk from the cottage on nights we didn’t want to drive or fancied a drink. The sunsets we seen from the cottage were wonderful and the real fire inside made the rougher, wetter nights just as fantastic. Everything at the cottage is of a high standard - new washing machine, tumble dryer, dish washer all appliances et...more
Ben Edra Croft is well equipped, bright and clean and really well laid out. Amazing views from all the windows- we could have gazed out for hours! Lovely to have some garden space too especially with children. We really loved our stay and will be back I'm sure.
We loved our stay on Waternish point - and our walk around the point was one of the highlights of our stay in Skye. Mr Barbour's guest accommodation is spotlessly clean and he was very kind in accepting some post for us that arrived during our stay. We loved the rheas too! Do note that the house is almost at the end of the road - we arrived in the middle of the night and didn't drive far enough! But if you're arriving in daylight you'll spot it easily across his immaculately mowed lawn!
We had a great time at the cottage. Everything you need is there. Highly recommend. Owners were lovely. We stayed 2 weeks. You will need a car to travel to see all the lovely places on Skye.
We had a most wonderful stay at Strathaird House in May this year. The house had everything we needed and was super comfortable. It was so lovely to have a basket of local produce on arrival. The location was fabulous and we spent many a happy hour in and around Elgol and the local 'hill'! Many many thanks to Adrienne and James for making this a really special stay.
The Mill is a beautiful house with lots of character. Absolutely everything we needed was provided and we felt very much at home. The house was warm, It was very clean, there’s lots of space and the showers were great - important after a long day walking! Seamus and Maggie gave us a lovely welcome and were very kind. The location is great. It was lovely to walk down to the shore of the beautiful bay at sunset and look out for the otters and seals. It’s very close to so many beautiful places in Skye including the falls of Rha, the fairy glen, and the Quairang. It made a great base...more
Lovely cabin, cosy, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Great location with fabulous views. We will definitely book again!
A fabulous and very comfortable cottage with spectacular views - one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in! Good location on Skye and it had a very homely feel.
This is an amazing wee gem. The condition and cleanliness of the place is amazing, it was kitted out with everything you could need, and more than enough space and furniture for the nine adults that were staying. We loved it so much we are looking for an excuse to come back and stay, thanks so much!
Superb little cottage for 2. Really everything provided you can think off!! Will come back for sure. Skye stole our hearts!
What an amazing place to stay. We we’re lucky enough to find this lovely cottage in our hour of need, and we were spoilt! Amazing daily views of seals right outside the window and lots of seabirds, access to our own beach to collect shells and wander. Such an amazing cottage with everything you need. Underfloor heating amazing. Very clean and well thought out! Really couldn’t of asked for a better stay: in easy reach of Dunvegan village with a lovely bakery- must visit if you stay, amazing cakes! Lots of lovely walks right from the doorstep. Can’t wait to come back again! We had an issue with ...more
As quite a large group (5 adults, 2 teenagers and two babies) we were concerned that the property could of been too small for us, but we were very wrong! Ruadh is a beautiful house decorated to a very high level and kitted out with all the kitchen equipment you need. We had an amazing stay here and wished we had booked a couple more nights. The views are amazing we only wish we had had better weather to explore them.
The cottage was perfect in every way. Spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. The location is remote and there is a 20minute drive to the nearest shop. It is peaceful though, surrounded by spectacular scenery. There is plenty to see on Skye and lots of interesting towns and villages. We had a fabulous week and look forward to booking again in the future
Our party of 5 stayed at One Mill Lands over the New Year period. We found the property to be authentic as advertised in both the photos and description. The house was very clean and tidy. Towels and bedding, again excellent. The kitchen was very well equipped with plenty of cutlery, utensils, cooking paraphernalia, plates, glasses etc. Added bonus was two dishwashers which was very novel and welcome. The house was lovely and warm. Log burner was very efficient and the tumble dryer in the utility room came in very handy as we had bad weather, so great for drying wet walking trousers, ha...more
An Caladh has a wonderful cosy feeling. The house was really clean and the bedding and towels all spotless. We had a week of fairly rainy weather and it was lovely to come back to such a homely cottage. The beds are very comfortable and the cottage has everything you need to cater for a holiday. My only negative comment would be that the internet is very poor so if you desperately need internet and television then you might be disappointed. The location is lovely and you can do a very fine walk to Harlosh point from the house. Very handy for Dunvegan.
Shepherd’s Cottage is a lovely cottage in a wonderful location close to a sea loch. Fantastic for bird watching and wildlife, with great walks from your doorstep. We saw golden eagles flying from the kitchen window! The peace and calm is glorious. Inside the cottage warm, surprisingly spacious and comfortable. It was good to have the use of the excellent wood-burning stove on a couple of chillier evenings. All in all, a superb place for a holiday.
It's perfect. We rarely just relax on holiday but at the Croft Fiskavaig you can't do anything but relax. It restores our souls. Thank you
Highly recommend the Alderburn for a group / family. Perfectly located on the edge of town - a two minute walk brings you to the lovely town of Portree with its assortment of shops, cafes and restaurants. The property, with 3 double bedrooms (1 en suite), beautiful views of the bay from the lounge, large kitchen/ dining space and outdoor seating areas in the garden, was ideal for a family holiday with teenagers ( good wifi too). The property is well looked after, very clean and my bed was really comfortable. We met the owners son, Ross, while we were there and he was lovely too. He and the hou...more
We stayed an additional night, making this a six nighter over New Year. Attentive owner, who is very keen to please.
Needs seating arrangements sorted. 1 comfortable chair and 1 lie down chaise long. If 2 people want to sit up? A hard creaky wicker chair too uncomfortable to sit all evening. What looks like a couch in the photos is actually a single bed base and mattress covered in a bed spread? Utilities amazing location amazing but a winter stay requiring seating for 2. Dark at 3.30 need to be able to sit. Likewise dining chairs wicker too. Finishing touches for a really great chill missing. Extra towels. No candles in storm. The little things that would elevate this wonderful property. A winter stay is...more
We had a fantastic stay at Skye Garden Accommodation - lovely little cottage in a private garden. It was the perfect base to explore Skye and Portree itself - it's about a 10 min walk into town with lovely restaurants and shops, but also far enough away from the centre to be lovely and peaceful without cars and tourists passing by. The cottage had everything we needed to cater for ourselves and rest after some long days walking.
Fantastic cottage. We had 6 guys in here for a week doing some mountaineering up on the Cuillin Hills. It is a really nice place, we are repeat customers from the year previous. 1 - The shower is weak, not what you want after a day on the hill. 2 - I would like a number so that I could inform the owners that I was leaving a day early, this would doubtless help them and make me feel happier about leaving the key in the agreed place but hardly secure. That is all I can think to drip about, we will book in next year.
Spacious cottage. Convenient location for Northern Skye. Lovely, secure garden with plenty of space for kids and dog. Homely touches such as flowers provided. Really clean. A great week. Highly recommended.
A beautifully presented home with lovely facilities and views, and local walks. Not the house for you if you aren't a fan of single track roads, however! Very warm and cosy.
This was our first trip to Skye and although it rained almost continuously, was immensely enjoyable due to the high quality of the cottage and it’s furnishings. There are lots of spectacular walks and viewing points close by, in particular, Duntulm castle and the walk at Rubha Hunish.
We spent 4 nights at Taigh Uilleim in late December / early January and had a fantastic stay. The cottage is big and very spacious with a lovely modern kitchen, nice bedrooms with good storage, a great living area with wonderful views and a handy utility area and WC when you first enter the cottage. It's in a great location - just over 30 mins' drive to Portree and Carbost, and only a few minutes to Dunvegan. It is also convenient for Waternish, Coral Beach and Neist Point. Would definitely recommend the cottage and would happily stay again.
Excellent cottage, all you need for a relaxing break, warm, comfortable, well equipped, lovely location, but that's true of Skye full stop, and a very friendly and helpful host. Thank you Angus I'll be back I'm sure.
Our second family visit to this beautifully located oasis of comfort and space, far from the madding crowd and next to the sea, the calming, even soporific sea. Ahhhhh! Everything perfect, as scored above. We'll be back.
Everything we wanted. Delightful and helpful owners, wonderful week. Everything was extremely clean and tidy Thank you.
Overall we had an amazing stay. I would recommend that spare toilet roll is left for guests and it would have been nice to have a couple of extra logs left for the fire on our arrival (happy to buy our own but were expecting a couple to be there).
This is a large cottage that is in excellent condition - fantastic facilities and three bathrooms with loads of hot water which was great in the middle of winter! A lovely welcome pack when we arrived with loads of information about Skye. Couldn't fault the accommodation. Have only given good for VFM because accommodation in Skye is very expensive at New Year - not so much a comment on this house as the costs generally.
Awesome place to stay! Would return. Great location. Cosy and clean. Lots of space to enjoy with the family and beautiful views from the windows.
The cottage was fully equipped with modern appliances and everything you could ever need. The owners had thought of everything and welcomed us with a lovely care package on arrival. The location was ideal, in a quiet spot, yet easily accessible for all the main tourist sites. The view of the Cuillin from the bedroom window was a bonus! The room was spacious with plenty of storage space and a really comfortable bed. There was a good selection of dvds to choose from which was a lovely touch. As well as lots of books and maps of the local area. The owners had also printed out a full folder of ...more
Alan’s house fit our needs perfectly and was warm and cosy for our rather wet stay. Well situated for walks and exploring. Loved being able to walk to the shop for supplies and then walk to search for dinosaur footprints. Well kitted out for drying wet clothes and making a meal.
A very bright and airy cottage with beautiful views. Huge private garden and easy access for vehicles. Inside, the cottage is very comfortable and spacious, the pictures on the website really don't do it justice. Clean and modern with high quality furniture and accessories. This part of the Island isn't as busy with tourists so the peace and quiet is welcome yet, it's an easy drive to most of the northern parts parts of Skye as well as Portree itself (if you really must go there!).
Lovely weekend stay at the Bothy 7, very welcoming cosy stay with Biscuits and Prosecco as a welcome on arrival. Very clean and well equipped Kitchen considering COVID restrictions. Only small niggle was that one of the sofas leg rest wasn’t working so it didn’t feel as comfortable as it could have been and an extra seat by the window would’ve been lovely to sit and watch the views over Portree. Bath was so relaxing and even the shower was luxurious, dressing gowns were also a nice touch. Would recommend a stay at the Bothy 7 to everyone looking for a special break away.
Very comfortable home . Warm and cosy. Plenty hot water.Wonderful views . Good position for visiting sites
Comfortable and stylish house, with a lovely view across the fields to the harbour with distant islands on the horizon. We found lots of walks both straight from the house and a short drive away so didn't feel the need to venture far from home in our week. First-time visitors to the further reaches of Skye or the far North-West of Scotland should probably remember that travel along single-track roads can be fairly slow (and then factor in camper vans to make it slower), and the range of local food stores is limited. But that is all part of the pleasure of getting away to these gorgeous par...more
There were long dark hairs in the double bed, so the bedded had clearly not been changed. There were also dark hairs in the bath showing it had not been cleaned. There was a greasy spoon rest on top of the cooker and the kitchen floor was sticky, again illustrating the cottage had not been serviced and cleaned. This is completely unacceptable.
Lovely cottage in a really good location. Fabulous views from the living room which is light and airy with lovely big windows looking east. If there is a good sunrise it's fantastic. Well equipped cottage although a few more glasses and cups would probably help a larger group. A chest of drawers in the main bedroom would be more useful than the old sofa and updating the dark furniture in the second bedroom would give it a brighter feel. However, these are minor points and I'd go back to this cottage without hesitation. It's comfortable, spacious, bright, easy to reach and to access other parts...more
The cottage was ideally situated and very comfortable. The owners gave us a warm welcome and were extremely kind and generous with their starter pack. We would definitely return and despite the weather had a lovely time.
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was very clean. A perfect size although these was only two of us. It was so quiet-a short distance up a minor road but still central for getting out and about. And close to Portree where there is a great Co-op for shopping. Plenty space to park your car. The kitchen is very well equipped with nice plates/cups etc. Great dish washer and washing machine. Living room has a lovely view and nice comfy seats and settee. Would recommend The Galley for fish and chips on the road up to Uig. If you want take away though you need to pre order! We would ...more
We really enjoyed our stay at Sorley's house, the location overlooking the sea was perfect. The property was clean and comfortable.
Probably one of the most dog friendly welcoming cottages we have stayed in (and there has been a few!) A lovely, quiet little cottage on the small road headed to the fairy glen so additional points for being able to walk here and everything else being a drive away. Lovely welcome hamper for humans and dogs and everything you may need. Unfortunately stove broken ahead of our visit but still cosy with the heating thankfully!
Very nice self catering accommodation. Silent, though in near of the main street. Great view out of the sitting room windows! Near to the center, where all the bars are ;-) The lock of one toilet doors was broken, but this was not a show stopper. Eventually my wife could escape ;-)
For a 4 bedroom cottage in August this was really good value for money. It looked attractive, clean and spacious in the photos and the reality didn't disappoint. It was a spacious, pleasant house, with everything that an extended family of 8 needed. It had amazing views from almost every room! Though comfy and tidy I would not describe it as especially luxurious, but if you want that you probably have to expect to pay a lot more. It was comfortable, clean and functional, it had everything we needed, and we were very happy there with no problems at all. If you are looking for something really m...more
Absolutely magic, loved every second of it and would encourage everyone to go, bliss . We had an eagle in the garden and sheep everywhere.
The views from this cottage are just spectacular and no matter the weather are a picture postcard . It’s cosy, warm and great to come back to after a days exploring . It central to all corners of Skye and is not far from all local amenities .
Such a lovely place to spend a weeks holiday - well equipped & comfortable cottage with amazing views, & one of the most comfortable beds we’ve had away from home! Only downside was the limited internet allowance- an indication of actual usage would have been helpful in not using too much in planning days out & journey planning- however this wouldn’t stop us from booking again as it was a lovely place.
Great location for exploring the North Coast of Skye. Would certainly book this cottage again. Good location for photography
The cottage is tired and in need of refurbishment. The furniture is old and shabby. The open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room is small for 6 to 8 people. We were 3 adults and 3 children and found it very limited for living space.
A really nicely renovated crofters cottage in a very quiet and tranquil setting. Very warm despite the December/January gales blowing outside. Can easily accommodate a family of 5 without feeling on top of each other. The owners were able to accommodate our last minute booking very efficiently. The only issue was no WiFi signal in the master bedroom but I’m sure this could be fixed as the WiFi signal worked well downstairs.
Great stay at glen osdale clean cottage - our 7th stay here we think Visited all the haunts weather not fab but still got out The cottage is lovely but needs a little tlc in places but we were still comfortable and warm oh and dry lol Thanks for accommodating us
Lovely practical well equipped accommodation with a very homely feel and relaxed air, with lots of light. Nothing not to like and will definitely book again, so handy for a stroll into centre of town and the harbour.
What a beautiful and spacious cottage in a most amazing location. Traditional yet comfortable and with literally all the equipment and conveniences we could ask for. Open fire, really great and adds to the ambiance. The sofas are just starting getting worn and losing their support and covers could perhaps do with a freshen up (as could the cushions), but really nothing that spoiled our experience. The shower needs some attention upstairs- the mechanism that holds the shower head is faulty so the head just drops completely or you have to have it pointing upright. Again nothing wrong just a bit...more
A welcoming, comfortable home from home. Extremely well equipped and only a short walk into Portree.
The flat is a well proportioned self-catering option for travellers to Skye. The assigned parking was very much an asset for the property given the lack of parking in Portree in general. The kitchen is decently equipped for making basic meals like breakfast/fry up, and for heating up ready meals from the local coop. Not sure whether it's a Covid restriction or not, but the staples for the kitchen were not present (i.e. no tin foil, no salt, pepper, oil, etc.) The main problem we had was with the hot water. There were two days with cold showers, and when the hot water was on, it was dangerously...more
Had an enjoyable stay at Glenview. House is cosy and comfortable with a beautiful view over uig harbour. Saw some comments about the driveway, it is quite steep but never caused us an issue. Plenty of space to park off the road. Garden is secure which was great for letting the dog out. Located 15mins from the quiraing so perfect for catching the sunrise.
This is the second time Wev stayed here In Elgol, it’s our special place. We love it. So cosy, love it has two fire places for the living room and bedroom. Best feeling after a long hike in Elgol coming back to cosy hidden away peaceful and quite cottage. Also the sofa and bed are so comfortable. Felt so at peace here. We stayed for 6 nights this time. Wish we could of stayed for longer. Elgol is magical. Waking up to sheep & cows. we even saw a lone stag at night by the gates of the cottage. The cottage came equipped with everything you need, could do with a better tin opener is my only sug...more
Loved our stay at this lovely cottage. Lindsay , the owner, couldn't have been more accommodating. QWe will be back.
Our stay at the Loch Mealt View was just amazing. The location was simply amazing. It was so serene and calm. The morning view from the cottage is something to behold. The cottage was spotless and the comfort level was unparalleled. Loved the beds as they were so comfy. As far as the cottage owners are concerned, I have to give them a special mention here as they have been amazing hosts. We reported a couple of minor issues one with a WiFi, a duvet cover that had a rip and a broken plate - the agents who look after the property reported it to the cottage owner and within an hour I got an email...more
Lovely house with plenty of space and adequate facilities for six. Great panoramic view of the sea and accross to the outer hebrides, we were visited by roe deer, short earled owl (in the tidy garden), red fox accross the moorland and the closest I've ever seen the pair of resident golden eagles that flew over and around the house five days out of the seven that we were there, one even landing only 45 yards away breifly before taking off again. When you see them up close there's no way you can mistake them for the "tourist eagle" buzzards! Also a pair of the white tailed sea eagles glided o...more
Very relaxing break in an old Croft house. It’s comfortable and perfectly adequately equipped. The location is beautiful and convenient for Portree and the rest of the island. It’s dog friendly with an enclosed garden. We’re looking forward to our next trip in June! We enjoyed lighting the wood burning stove at the end of the day. The cottage is very old so is unsurprisingly slightly damp but is supplied with de-humidifier etc. There is ample heating and hot water. Lovely place overall.
Beautiful, cosy house and fabulous location. Great for quiet and peaceful getaways. Definitely returning!
We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the view and the comfort of the cottage very much !! Fresh bedlinen and towels, and the cottage was clean. Isle of Skye is fantastic and the cottage is situated great on the island. We looking forward to come and stay again :)
I have stayed many times at the Stationmaster's House but this is the first privately. Good accommodation and location.
The cottage was clean and tidy with all relevant equipment. We have stayed in this cottage before, some years ago and I think we forgot how small it is however for the short period we were there, it was fine. The one great pity is that the best views are from the landing skylight and the VERY cool porch area. Not a thing that can be easily remedied in such an old property. Kind note from housekeeper warning of midges but we were never bothered this visit.
Quiet cottage in a central position to explore the island. Only down side was that there was no WIFI and it wasn't rectified in the two weeks we were there.
The house was a dream. Access to the beach was great for the dogs. A well equipped house with comfortable beds and cosy atmosphere. Will definitely stay again.
The apartment is very well maintained with all the necessary equipments to make the stay even more comfortable.
Had a beautiful week on the isle of Skye at bridge cottage. The location is brilliant for exploring the island. Walks are easily located close to the cottage which was great. The cottage itself is beautiful and clean and made for a brilliant relaxing stay. My only minor complaint was that the sofa was really uncomfortable and needs replacing. Also the porch area needs some coat racks. Lots of people will be on Skye for outdoor activities and it needs somewhere to dry boots/clothes. Water leaked through the chimney onto the log burner during really heavy rain.
As a keen walker, cyclist and photographer, Allt Slapin was perfectly located for exploring the Strathaird area of south Skye. There were spectacular views of both Blabheinn and the Red Cuillins without even having to leave the cottage and its garden. I arrived at Allt Slapin by bicycle from Kyle of Lochalsh, so it is a feasible location without a car if you are reasonably fit. Perhaps par for the course on Skye, there were several very wet days, but the cottage was very warm and comfortable to return to, and had all the amenities you need for drying out after a day in the rain. Cookin...more
Cosy cottage in beautiful location Spectacular views of the Cuillins Just a short 20 minute drive to Broadford to get supplies Track to the house was a bit rough and a few potholes to navigate Kitchen cupboards and oven would benefit from a deep clean but generally a nice warm, well equipped, pretty cottage and we had a lovely holiday there
A traditional cottage with lovely views to the Outer Hebrides in a very peaceful location. Other cottages are dotted around but it is not a village. Make sure you bring all the food etc you need as there is no shop within walking distance. It is very quiet and we hardly saw anyone. The 2 bedrooms are large, bright and have wonderful views: bedrooms are comfortable with plenty storage space. There is a king size bed in one room; the other room has a double bed and also a single bed. Good for a family. One bathroom which was very clean. Kitchen and living / dining area area is one open pla...more
