Very clean, comfortable, authentic croft house in a remote location on the beautiful Isle of Skye. Great place to stay for an extended stay in Skye. We were there for only 2 nights and it wasn’t enough to really explore the island. The owner/host is amazing! She made sure everything we needed was readily available and in good order before we got there.

This is truly an exceptional home and place to stay. The location in the remote north of Isle of Skye with surrounding farmland and sea views was superb and incredibly peaceful. The house is delightful, spacious, well equipped and we felt right at home. Highly recommend.

Lovely Croft house!

We wanted a place away from it all, and this house fit the bill perfectly! The house was neat and clean and well located for the activities we wanted to do on the Isle. So many sheep everywhere, but that added to the charm!

Our stay was wonderful overall. Loved the remote location. All we saw or heard were the sheep and cows. The walk to Rubha Hunish was great. Another review mentioned that it feels like the end of the world, and it really does. It was nice to talk to Alan the Crofter and pet his family of collies as well.

Very cool place

At the far end of the world is where you will find this gem of a stay. Loved the location and the house which came as advertised. Being that it is so far away, it could use a few more day to day items in the kitchen as it is a long way back into town.

Wonderful cottage in a stunning landscape

Lorraine’s cottage was the most amazing rental we have ever had. The cottage was charming and authentic, very clean, spacious, well appointed and located in a stunning valley with incredible views, and close to many Skye attractions. The cottage is located next to a sheep farm with literally hundreds of sheep - such an amazing environment especially for the kids. Lorraine was an incredible host, so kind and thoughtful, and wonderful with her recommendations of attractions and restaurants/cafe. My family and I did not want to leave!

Lovely stay

The home is in a beautiful area of the Scottish Highlands. I felt we got to experience a small piece of what it would be like to live in such a beautiful area. So many beautiful areas to walk nearby. The place itself was perfect, cozy and had everything we needed. And the owner is very nice and communicative.
