A perfect cottage for a home from home week away to explore Isle of Skye. All the home comforts and ability to be completely self contained, with high end kitchen appliances and bathroom. The owners website provided superb information, including the ability to organise a Morrisons click and collect shopping order for our weeks stay. We were able to explore the local area knowing we had a warm comfortable cottage to return to. We will definitely return

Lovely cottage in a stunning location. Quite spacious and private. Tastefully furnished and decorated. Good pointers for places to visit on Skye. Close to Dunvegan which had plenty of choices for places to eat or take away from restaurants. Would have preferred terrestrial tv rather than internet tv for wet days and there appears to be a fan for possibly circulating air throughout the building which seemed a bit noisy on a couple of nights of our stay. Overall quite pleased otherwise, but a bit stunned when looking at price for same time next year has risen by over 50% on cottages.com.
