We spent a happy week in North Stables between 9 and 16 September.
The flat was clean and well-presented. The sitting room and bedrooms were well-decorated and comfortable. The NTS staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful. We had an excellent tour of The House of Dun given by Colin who was a terrific guide. The surrounding area is beautiful and there is much to see and do. However, while most of the flat was highly acceptable, the kitchen left a great deal to be desired and needs to be re-designed. The flat accommodates four people but there was an inadequate amount of cutlery. Serving a starter and a main dish involved washing knives and forks between courses. It seems, judging by the irregular number of glasses, that breakages are not replaced. There were only two eggcups. One of the frying pans has buckled and did not work well on the rings of the antiquated cooker. The fridge/freezer was far too small and inadequate for two, never mind four, people. It was also poorly positioned especially for older and infirm people. The kitchen was full of cupboards, most of which were empty. A proper re-design, removing most of these unnecessary cupboards, could result in the dining table being accommodated, more suitably, in the kitchen rather than the sitting room. Surely some more cleaning materials could be left. On arrival, we found two dishwasher tablets and two tea towels, one rubbish bag and no cleaning cloths. In the bathroom there was one roll of toilet paper. There was a time when a welcome tray would have been left but all I could see was a bowl with sachets of instant coffee and tea bags. NTS holiday properties are not inexpensive. My recent experiences suggest that they no longer present particularly good value and compare unfavourably with other properties in the âheritageâ area of holiday lettings. We enjoyed our trip but certain aspects of the presentation and equipping of the property left us feeling disappointed and gave us the impression that not enough attention is being paid by the NTS to important, smaller details which make so much of a difference.

There were many positives about staying in Bruce apartment. It was clean and comfortable (especially the bed). The welcome pack containing home made bread, eggs, scones, homemade jam and other goodies was great. The facilities were good although a few more dishes in the kitchen would be useful, eg teapot, cafetiere and a larger number of items of cutlery/crockery so that it wasn't necessary to put on a half filled dishwasher after every meal so that there was enough cutlery/crockery for next meal. There had been storms which blew down trees the weekend before we arrived causing damage and there was no internet. As I had planned to work from "home" one of the days the estate manager kindly provided access to another property with internet access, which was much appreciated. However, not having internet access generally was a limitation, particularly for the younger members of the group. The other issue that became obvious over time was that a number of the radiators were not heating up so the apartment wasn't cosy, and as our stay fell over Christmas period there were limited options for resolving this. We did like the apartment and would still consider a propert at Penninghame but our stay would have been more comfortable had the heating been working adequately and internet had been working.

We enjoyed our stay at North Stables very much.
The flat was comfortable, clean and to a high standard. Very quiet and peaceful when the house closes. The staff that we had contact with during our stay were very helpful and friendly. The complimentary House of Dun guided tour is a must and the grounds/gardens are good to walk around. A few things that could be improved: 1. The washing machine is not working and appears, from previous reviews, to have not been working correctly since February. This should have been fixed by now. 2. The Wi Fi signal is very bad and keeps cutting out. 3. The boiler intermittently cuts out mainly when having a shower resulting in a cold wake up! It has to be reset by pressing the button on the boiler. 4. Several doors are difficult to open/close due to them catching on the carpet. 5. Two of the duvets appear to have a plastic covering under the cover and these can be very hot to sleep under. 6. Front door handle nearly off and needs refixing. 7. It would be nice to have had a starter supply of washing up liquid and hand soap. The above in no way spoiled our enjoyment of the property though and we would have no hesitation in returning.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old House.
The property is perfect and, although small, we had everything we needed. It was beautifully clean throughout and the furnishings are very tasteful. The bed is extremely comfortable and the beautiful views from the bedroom and living room windows create a feeling of tranquility. We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed walking to An Corran Beach and along the bank of the River Stenscholl. Staffin is well equipped with amenities and, as well as making use of Staffin Stores for odd bits of shopping, we visited both the Columba 1400 Cafe and the Hungry Gull, all within easy walking distance of the property. To avoid the potholes and take in the scenery more easily, we made use of the no.57 bus on several occasions with trips to Portree, Uig and Broadford (for Broadford we changed buses at Portree to the citylink service). It was so handy having a bus stop just at the end of the Garafad Road. We hope to return one day- it was a fantastic week and we really loved the property.

We would unreservedly recommend the Old House.
As for Staffin, well we came to like it but we were blessed with good weather. If your idea of Skye is mountainous hills, look further south where travel times would be shorter. The cottage was very comfortable. Yes itâs compact, but all the essentials are there and are pretty much uncompromised by space limitations. The standard and style of decor and fitments would meet the exacting standards of customers of, say, John Lewis or M&S Home. As you get to know the area more you take in the shops and the cafe virtually a stoneâs throw away across a sheep filled field. And you notice the little boards that werenât there the day before, announcing an event. Nearby is some spectacular scenery, eg at Storr or Quiraing, and the Fairy Glen (not the pools which are way down south) aka Hobbitland. If you go when the weatherâs nice, look out for coffee vans and full car parks. But simply considering the Old House itself, we were very comfortable and very happy.
