What a wonderful cottage at the isle of Skye. The cottage has a lot of comfort and a very cosy dining room. And Andy left us some delicious eggs as a welcome present. The grocerie store next door and the Lephin Cafe nearby are nice to visit. We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly recommend it as a place for a lovely holiday.

A really comfortable week in a warm cosy cottage; the view from the lounge is amazing. Seeing red deer from the back garden is wonderful. Nice and close the Neist head for staggering views, close to Dunvegan Castle and Coral beach. Cafe across the road and a local store next door but one. A 10 minute walk from the beach. A great holiday - many thanks!
