I have been looking for somewhere in Scotland that I can sit, relax and look over water ( it’s my thing!) This house is perfect. We all had a wonderful week in a clean, comfortable well appointed house. The local Spar (shop) is well appointed and the staff are helpful and friendly. Skye is half an hours drive away or you can jump on the train, the station is fairly close. All in all, a fantastic holiday in wonderful surroundings.

Lovely house and beautifully presented. There were just the two of us and the dog, but we all felt at home. Also lovely large garden where our spaniel was safe to play. Overall, well worth our weeks stay.
