It was a little tricky to find the first time (one sign was a little hidden and Google maps in the car wanted us to go on a road that no longer exists). Two suggestions. The listing shows a washing machine, but it might be a good idea to also state that there is not a clothes dryer. The skillets in the kitchen are not in very good condition. One had a loose handle and they both looked warped. We will definitely stay here again when we come to Skye!

Wi-Fi a bit unreliable but what can you expect in the middle of nowhere on Skye! Directions were a little tricky to follow at the end as the blue Lochview sign canât be seen from the road but Google maps got us there. All in all, a fabulous week on a stunning island in a beautiful cottage
