Really superb cottage, impeccably presented and retaining much of the original traditional crofters cottage charm. We also appreciated the lovely garden with breathtaking views over Loch Caroy and the Cuillins beyond.

The cottage was absolutely amazing. Equipped with everything one may need during their stay and much more. A lovely touch of a welcome cake in the kitchen, too! Instructions were very clear and we totally felt like home and loved returning there after each day spent out exploring Skye. The place is peaceful, yet well located for all the day trips wRead moree were making all over Skye. Local grocery shop, fruit and veg shop and restaurants are only 7 minutes away by car. Hide

It is a beautifully furnished cottage with great facilities, including a wood burner, which we lit on chilly nights. We also enjoyed breakfast outside on the picnic bench. We loved the location, with beautiful views over the loch and the mountains beyond. A great location for exploring the area and for coastal hiking.

Lovely comfortable cottage and very well equipped. The low sloping ceilings upstairs may make it uncomfortable for a tall person, but it was fine for us (average sized) people.

Fantastic design details- from the dormer curtain poles to the shower rail and curtain, a lot of thought gone in to maximise space and comfort

Lovely quiet spot over looking lake and view of cuillins when the weather permits. Close to Dunvegan village where bakery, old school and. Misty restaurants dont dsappoint
