  Well situated for travel across the island. The property was well equipped and furnished to a high standard throughout, it did feel like a home from home. We will consider a return next year, highly recommended. Thanks to the owner James Lamont for looking after us so well.

• "This was a great cottage, modern and clean, very well equipped, and lovely sea views over an inlet facing another part of Skye in the background."

  We had a most enjoyable time here. The only suggestion I would make is perhaps more instructions would be nice, eg for the wood burner, and for finding the cottage. No tools or gloves for the woodburner were provided. Although it was possible to connect the TV to the internet via the wifi code provided, accounts for the catch-up services were not set up. Other than that, a fantastic cottage.

  Modem. Well appointed and supplied. Tremendous views. Our host was very responsive. We found nothing lacking to cook in for breakfasts and a nice dinner during our stay. It was great to have a clothes washer and dryer at the mid-point of our holiday. Porter and Uig are both close for groceries, laundry pods, etc. We hope to come again!

• "Burnside Cottage on the Isle of Skye was amazing."

  The position with views over the Loch from the fabulous panorama window in the lounge were stunning. The gardens were well stocked & looked after. James, the owner, had thought every little detail to make our stay comfortable & enjoyable. The fixtures & fittings & furniture were top quality, & it was like home from home! There were so many little additions which you do not usually get in rented accommodation, e.g. herbs, ice packs & a fitted picnic cool bag, umbrella, games, videos, t.v.'s in each bedroom, toiletries etc.etc. plus a box of fudge & roses!! I defy anyone to have a complaint & would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone. Well done James ( with the help of mum & dad!!)

• "A wonderful location which was ideal, whatever the weather threw at us."

  We enjoyed the 180 degree panoramic view of the loch from the living room, wildlife spotting. We were also intrigued by the ruined croft seen from the cottage, which has inspired us to learn more of Skye and the history of the Clearences. So much to see, so many memories. We would very much like to see that we will be returning but distance from Southeast England to Skye regrettably make this unlikely.

• "A little disappointed that there was no internet connection to the smart TV."

  That said, the place is wonderful. The cottage itself is nice and clean with everything you need. Burnside Cottage is ideally suited to exploring The Isle Of Skye with an amazing view right out of the window. I walked down to the water to take sunset pictures where I noticed there were seals watching my every move. We loved the cottage and didn't want to leave and are hoping to return in the future. Highly recommended !!

• "WOW, what an amazing cottage Burnside is."

  the place is immaculate throughout, from the big kitchen that wants for nothing, from cupboard space, to all the things you would need to cook or eat with etc, the bedrooms and bathrooms are 1st class, and then there is the duel living room which gives both the oppotunity to look out across the Loch throughout the day (if thats what you want to do) with a quick about face enabling you to sit in front of a roaring log fire should you have the need to fire it up, and watch TV after a day exploring

  The bungalow exceeded all of our expectations. Immaculately clean and everything you would need for a self catering holiday. Centrally placed in between Uig and Portree on the main road (that is not busy or noisy). A long drive from Derbyshire, but well worth it. Fabulous views and places to visit. Burnside Cottage will not disappoint you. We recommend it without any hesitation.

  We were greatly impressed on arrival to see how clean and fresh the entire house and surroundings are. There were several unexpected items (fresh, cut flowers , bedding plants, vases) all of which enhanced the property . I was reminded of the old television advert, "If Carlsberg did holiday homes........!" A truly excellent property with much thought given to guest comfort.

  Brilliant view and nice private area. Would suggest better wifi, if available in that area, some insect screens in bedrooms especially, addition of a/c to cool bedrooms and living area. There is a nice outdoor sitting area and adding a barbecue would be a nice touch. These comments are purely suggestions for improvement on what is a already a very lovely property.

• "The cottage was very modern, extremely well presented throughout and immaculate inside."

  The little touches and provisions were a most welcome asset as the rural setting does mean a car journey of a few miles to the local shop. There was nothing we lacked and the cottage is fitted out to a very high standard. It was in a beautiful setting and we were treated to a glorious sunset and the most amazing views of the stars and the Milky Way. The island has many beautiful places to visit, small bays and dramatic views, we were blessed with good weather and we had a lovely base from which to explore. The locals were very friendly and helpful and Portree was a cute little harbour town. We would not hesitate to book Burnside Cottage again.

• "Burnside cottage was amazing ."

  ...from location to accommodation 10/10. We were met by the owners mother who showed us around the cottage , explained heating etc and reassured us they were only a phone call away if we needed assistance , which we didn't but felt safe in the knowledge they were there to help. The cottage faces full on to the loch with a huge set of picture windows in the huge open plan living area, with 5 leather recliners and foot stools to sit in and admire the view ...pick a seat , pick a window and just relax and take it all in !! The cottage sleeps 5 and we were only 2 so it was huge , there is an ensuite with the double room and a large family bathroom with a bath which was fully utilised after walking every day . The kitchen is fully stocked with everything u can think of ... there's even a slow cooker if you want to put a stew on before u go out for the day !! Everything is very clean and well appointed . Under floor heating ensures the cottage is always the perfect temperature. Full laundry facilities also . All in all feel lucky to have gotten a last minute booking as you can see its almost fully booked through the seasons . We will definitely stay again given the opportunity . As an aside this location feels perfect for exploring the whole island as its more or less in the middle . There's also a large well stocked co-OP 7 miles away in Portree for every provision.

• "Maybe you should state on the website that there is TVs in all the bedrooms."

  I contacted Sykes to ask before I went as I wanted to take a small tv for my sons room. They had supposedly contacted the owner to ask if it would work and was told there is a tv mast 8 miles away so should be ok. That was obviously not true as the owner would have said there was TVs in all the rooms so we had bought an inside aerial, aerial booster and packed it in the car for nothing. Not great customer service from sykes. That is the only complaint with no fault To the owner.
