  • "My sister and I had a lovely holiday here, beautiful setting, ever changing landscape."

    It is perfectly placed for sightseeing. Although 20 miles in each direction for a supermarket. The cottage is quite large, really comfy beds. We found the seating to be very uncomfortable, the reclining chair did not work And it was hard to sit comfortably in it. The TV package needs updating or maybe ask people to bring a fire stick with them, not that we wanted to watch much TV but nothing to do in the evenings, and 1 day it rained all day. It is very well equipped with everything you would need for a good holiday( except for TV and seating) but that would not stop us staying there again.

    Need a vehicle. Comfortable beds, spacious, appreciated 2 good sized bathrooms, could have either a bath or a shower. Nicely decorated, books to read, fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, couldn’t ask for anything more.

  • "Fantastic location and views."

    Handy for Broadford and Portree. Great pub about 5 mins away by car. Under floor heating makes it cosy and there's a drying room for wet clothes and boots. The only negative for us was that the boiler kept coming on during the night and as it's located just outside the main bedroom it did disturb our sleep, unfortunately.

    It was warm - we were winter guests - and cosy. Everything was clean and in working order. We loved the shower. I do feel new pillows are in order, though. Mine were not comfortable. Sorry I forgot to put the dishwasher on. I got it ready but forgot to press go.

  • "We arrived around 4."

    30pm on our first day to a warm and lovely cottage. The rooms were so spacious and a nice welcome box of shortbread with a cup of coffee made the perfect start. We booked this cottage back in Nov 2021 so it was a long time coming but well worth the wait. The owner was very helpful by leaving the cottage ready for us to use without any key fussing or trying to locate things just fantastic week. The only down side was our departure day which was a freak of nature and the flooding around Scotland caused us to stop near a village in Loch Lomond as landslides and water in the road prevented us getting home so we had to sleep in our small car and get home the following day. A great week in the cottage spoilt by the journey home but we got back eventually. For any new customers going to this property you will not be disappointed and it has so many great views.

    Exactly what listing said. Was worried about entry process but owner lives nearby and went off without a hitch. It is 12 winding miles from any real stores and at that distance a grill would have been nice. But beautiful surroundings and if you wanna get away, this is a great spot and property.

    It was a perfect getaway from the city and all the hustle and bustle that comes with it. There are so many beautiful hiking trails nearby, you won't be able to stop exploring for hours on end. The cottage is beautifully decorated with a lot of warmth and comfort. From washing machine to dishwasher, this accomodation has it all plus more. Only little grumble is the matresses could be better but its the least of my worries when i spent 95% of the time out of the house. Loved this place and would love to visit again.
