Three nights but could have easily stayed longer due to friendly hostess, perfect weather and so many paths to trek.

Our stay at Thistle On Skye’s Croft was one of the highlights of our trip!
The Croft was the perfect blend of old world charm and modern comfort, with breathtaking views from every room and thoughtful touches, throughout, especially the luxurious soaking tub and the cozy dressing room. Our host, David was incredibly welcoming and helpful, making our trip even more memorable.

Rest and Relation in a stunning, luxurious house.
The Croft is like a home from home. Furnished with beautiful touches of style and thought, everything you could possibly need is provided, even a jug of the owners milk when I was in need of a cuppa! Views amazing, bed, bedding and towels luxurious and all mod cons for kitchen and bathrooms provided.
Wonderful place to stay, thank you 💙🏴

Amazing cottage with incredible views ...
We had the pleasure of staying in the Croft and experience was excellent.. the cottage had everything we wanted and more. The location was perfect with views over the Sound of Sleat with ever changing skyline, Sleat is a bit of a hidden gem with some great scenery and walks but also on the doorstep for exploring the rest of Skye.

Amazing! Great views but better hosts!
We stayed for 5 nights at Thistles. The hosts were tremendous. Very helpful and warm. We really enjoyed everything about our stay. The bedroom is very comfortable and the baths are great. We toured the Sleat peninsula with helpful hints from the hosts. They also booked our dinner and car for Kinloch Lodge and were amazingly helpful every step of the way.

Perfect home from home escape
We stayed in The Croft, which was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. The garden was huge, with far reaching views over the water and surrounding hills which made for fantastic sunrise/sunset views. We found The Croft perfect for exploring Skye, and the hosts went out of their way to make us very welcome, and assist us with various aspects of our stay. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay, incredible host and stunning views!
Could not have been happier with Thistles on Skye and the owner, David. It was clean, very comfortable and lots of attention to detail. David was an amazing host full of information on restaurants, places to see and tours to take. The house was a bit secluded so took some time to drive to places on the island but that was part of the charm. It was quiet and tranquil with absolutely AMAZING views. I would highly recommend this place. You WON’T be disappointed.

Fantastic stay
From the moment we arrived we felt at home. David and Frances were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. They provided clear travel and sightseeing information prior to our arrival which was extremely useful. The quality of the accommodation was exceedingly high and made the room very comfortable to stay in. The view from the accommodation was stunning.

Amazing minimoon
We stayed at Thistles for three nights on our 'minimoon' and had an amazing time. David and Frances are great hosts and had thought of everything we might need. The finishings in the room are luxurious and the breakfasts were amazing (as were the homemade chocolate brownies!). We ate out at three different local restaurants and enjoyed them all. Would highly recommend for a visit to Skye.
