We enjoyed our stay and the view was heavenly!
The cabin was great with an amazing view, facilities where all we needed. My only criticism is the cleanliness of the bathroom - the black mould around more than half of the shower screen was very unpleasant.

Lovely and quiet location with great views.
Lodge was very comfortable and accessibility was good in all areas for wheelchair users apart from the bathroom as the shower cubicle was inaccessible due to space.

Great Stay
My family and I enjoyed our stay. The views were beautiful. The cabin was clean and well suited for our family. Location was pretty great just on the far end of Skye so takes longer to travel to visit places but overall that didn’t hinder us.

Beautiful setting and comfortable accommodations.
Close to ferry for getting on and off Skye. Kids went down each evening to beach and searched for sea glass. Surroundings were peaceful and quiet. Went to bed and woke up to the most wonderful views of water and mountains on mainland.

Delighted with our cabin, was a great place for us to stay on a sea-kayaking weekend
A lovely welcome at our cabin with wine and shortbread, and a personalised welcome note. The cabin was spotlessly clean and very well equipped kitchen. Bedrooms were fresh and comfortable. Good electric shower. It was perfectly quiet and peaceful with beautiful sound of an owl hooting at night. But best of all - view across to Mallaig. We watched the sea, sky, hills, ferries and weather like it was the best show on the planet. Just beautiful and wouldn't hesitate to come back.
A beautiful and restful cabin from which to explore the Isle of Skye.
Clean and cosy log cabin within a beautiful setting. It was very peaceful and private with amazing views.Everything you required for self catering was good but we could have done with at least one large pot (for cooking for 4 adults) and sharper knives. Otherwise have no other criticisms, it was a fantastic base from which to explore this beautiful island and would highly recommend it.
