"This is no ordinary pod. It is beautifully presented with so much thought given to it's furnishing. I didn't expect to find a wine fridge or induction hob, but there they were. The towels are luxurious and the toiletries are classy. There are even pods provided for the Nespresso machine! The fridge is stocked with essentials, and even some non-essential treats. Just as importantly, I was given a proper warm welcome on arrival. I loved my stay here. PS The eggs were delicious."

"Excellent facilities. Spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. Appreciated the gift of eggs and wine.Highly recommended."

"This house is in a great position with wonderful views. It is very spacious and has everything you need. It was spotless and has good drying facilities for those wet days that can happen! Great for beach walks and bird watching from the house. We would like to return."

"A lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful secluded location, within minutes walk of the rugged coast or a few minutes drive to a fabulous sandy bay. Facilities seem complete, with nothing else needed for our stay and the cottage was spotless and warm when we arrived.The entire region is visually stunning. Host is friendly and responsive if needed."

"We had many troubles with our stay, from vrbo, to cottages.com (who represent the property) to the actual property owner.The good news is that we enjoyed the area. The house was quaint. Low ceilings (which we often bumped our heads on at night). The place was cute in a rural area we enjoyed.The bad news1) we (my fault) booked one more night than we needed. We fully booked 1 month prior to arriving, and when we contacted Cottages.com they said we were too close to the checkin date to alter the reseration.2) why were we contacting Cottages.com and not VRBO ? Because the VRBO chat tool to contact the host gave us errors everytime we messaged the host. Telling us our email address was wrong. Pardon ? I changed the email address, that didn't help. Then I called VRBO on the phone (because their bot chat was completely unhelpful). The representative assured me we would not have further problems, and the checkin instructions would arrive prior to our arrive.3) the checkin instructions did not arrive. This time I called Cottages.com myself (avoided VRBO). After 30 minutes on the phone, Cottages emailed me directly the checkin directions.4) the next morning, as we got ready to explore The Isle Of Skye, we could not lock the front door - door lock was not functioning. I txted the actual owner about the lock, 1 week later have not had a reply.I would avoid this place unless you feel comfortable facing the same issues we did."

"A beautiful property in a stunning location. Perfectly sized for my family of 5. Would have loved to have been able to stay longer. A huge selection of activities and equipment available to try at the property and communication with the owner was terrific. Would definitely recommend. "

"Beautiful cottage. Very comfortable and cosy with gorgeous artwork by one of the owners. Surrounded by wildlife. Pond in the garden with waterlilies and a gate down to the lochan. Everything was spotless and felt new."

"What a unique and fabulous property. Huge and comfortable in a spectacular setting. Great local restaurant down the road is a must. "

"We’ve used the hotel for business trips for several years. The new owners have continued to deliver a high standard and a warm welcome. Looking forward to returning later in the year. "
