What a lovely place to stay. The location was near to the beach and close to A9 for trips out in the car. The house was warm (storage heaters) and well equipped. We found the bed to be a bit hard but that is personal preference and the pillows could do with replacing. However, we found everything else to be great - plenty of crockery, good garden across the road for the dog to go in (there is a little back garden) and good instructions plus recommendations from the owner. Locals very friendly. We enjoyed a nice vegan meal at Cocoa Skye - just a 5 minute walk. Would definitely love to return sometime.

Exceptional cottage in a great location only 2 mins walk from the sea. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Comfortable, quiet with great parking opposite. Back garden is secure so our dog loved it. Liked it so much we have already booked for next year.

The two of us and our two little dogs had a really wonderful week in the cottage. It was extremely clean and well organised. We had everything you could possibly need and was completely comfortable. The communication from the owner was excellent
