This was more than i hoped for, a perfect stay. Nice clean interior, well organized, eye for detail, lovely peaceful surroundings. Very kind hostesses.
This was the perfect spot for our exploration of Isle of Skye. The cottage was exactly as pictured, the bed comfortable, the view impeccable,and the hosts lovely. They met us on arrival to show us some things in the house and gave us fresh bed an homemade jam. They were very responsive to questions. We could not have asked for a better stay and I hope we can return some day!
Hilary and Michael made us feel very welcome. They baked bread and delicious shortbreads and sweetened up our stay with Homs made jam and Scottish tablet. This cosy house has a fantastic view and is a perfect base to explore Skye. Thanks very much Hilary and Michael!

It was lovely to meet you both and we are delighted you enjoyed our little haven and of course our homemade treats, come back soon
We just loved our stay here. Booked on the basis of the beautiful pictures - stunned to find it was even more beautiful. The unit is perfect for a couple. Well set up kitchen, extremely comfortable bed… did I mention the view?!
Great base for many walks locally and across the island, can’t rate it highly enough. And the hosts were welcoming, helpful and discreet. Genuinely hope we have the chance to return.
