"Overall we had a nice time."
Besides the unnecessary yelling at us before we had even said hello, we had a nice stay, Comfortable living space on the coast. Being close to the camping site initially concerned me but didn't cause any issues at all.
Wifi connectivity was almost non existent.
If you need good connectivity or would be bothered by a volatile host (his outbursts have been confirmed in reviews across several booking platforms and make for quite entertaining reading), I suggest looking elsewhere.
First of all-no one "yelled" at you. You parked your car ACROSS a single track road, got out and wandered away from it. When you returned, I told you that you couldn't leave it there as you were blocking all access to the residencies along the road including for emergency vehicles. You eventually drove away, then phoned and returned after asking for directions.
Had you been as vocal during your stay as you are from behind a keyboard you would have asked about the WiFi and we could have reset the hotspot. Without being told of a problem we can't fix it. Nor have we had any other complaints about it except when, as said, it needs to be turned off and on again to reset, which solves any problems. Unfortunately if high speed WiFi is the major part of your holiday, then parts of rural Scottish Highlands really aren't the place for you as it is not as fast as in a city. We cannot change that because it is down to the telephone company. That said we use the same network system and did not experience any difficulties so presumably IF there was a problem it was the hotspot that needed to be reset, but without being told you had a problem we couldn't do anything about it.
We assume that the HUMAN EXCREMENT left by on of your party on the floor of the main shower room was maybe a comment on the WiFi?
MESSAGE TO SYKES, it is difficult to keep responses to negative feedback positive. You have said previously that personal comments are not allowed, but yet here we are with personal comments from a guest!. I'm not sure how you can be positive to cleaning up human s*** off the floor of your home.

"This is a spacious apartment with the most spectacular views we had our entire stay."
I wish we had planned to stay longer. It is the upstairs apartment of the home that manages the campground, so one has access to the camp washer (and dryer!). The couple running the campground are delightful and gifted us with the most delicious lemon drizzle cake!

"The stay was made super comfortable, super welcoming and very friendly by the owner."
A nice bonus was a lemon cake to have with our tea when we first rolled in. We had a lovely time and will be singing the praises to everyone.

"Communication was absolutely terrible."
For WEEKS before, I was trying to get clarification on some questions and was unable to have a simple exchange. I began to suspect your customer service team was a bot. Until I connected with the Manager, Martin, and then everything was easy and straightforward. The experience with the Whatsapp thread was just crazy-making.

One suggestion might be some shelves in the bathrooms for guests to put their toiletries. Thank you for you hospitality.

"Just a couple of things - there were no pegs or a place to dry clothes, some of the cooking trays were very rusty, a vacuum cleaner was not provided to clean during the week."
Other than that it was a fantastic location. Quiet & stunningly beautiful.

"The apartment was exceptionally well-appointed, clean and spacious, with wonderful views and a lovely sitting out area with picnic benches in front of the house."
The kitchen was generously equipped with nice cockery, cutlery and glasswear, and the cooking utensils provided were excellent. We enjoyed the sense of spaciousness in all the rooms and the high standard of furnishings and decor throughout. We were warmly welcomed and settled in and simply cannot recommend Ceol na Mara highly enough. I have personally stayed in many cottages on Skye over the past twenty years or so and can honestly say this is one of the very best. The campsite area is very well managed and simply does not intrude on the privacy of the apartment in any way, We have thoroughly enjoyed our time there and were very reluctant to leave when the time came to return home. Our thanks to the friendly and efficient owners who have done so much to provide a really great base for the holidaymakers who stay with them.

"This is a great let."
Views across the sea, through picture windows. Well insulated and well equipped, friendly people on the site and we were left to ourselves. Quite a few places to visit in the locale. Will recommend and rebook.

"It was a completely wonderful holiday in a beautiful location in a fantastic apartment."
The owners were really friendly too!!
A small point - there was a delicious cake for us when we arrived, but no tea, coffee, milk, or sugar to make a drink to have with the cake!
Everywhere we have ever booked with Sykes and through other websites, always provide a 'basics kit'.
In the directions you should mention it's through the gate to the campsite, as we arrived but turned round when we got to the gate, thinking it couldn't be on the campsite!!
