A wonderful stay in a stunning location. Incredible ever-changing views across the sea, especially dramatic during Storm Amy. One of the best equipped self-catering cottages we have stayed in, very cosy and perfect for couples. Lovely welcoming host who kept in contact especially during the storm. Single Malt cottage is a great base to explore Skye.

Cottage did not have a rack to put a case on and outdoor seating areas were not well presented. The front decking was dangerously slippy when wet and needs to be cleaned. The cottage itself was small but well presented and internal facilities were good.
