Adequate

Mrs Scholes immediately answered when I called about arranging key pickup, but it would be nice to have other ways to contact her as well for international travelers with limited phone plans. The house serves it's purpose for sleeping and has a shower and a toilet, but the mattresses were uncomfortable, the washing machine did not have detergent, and there is an abandoned creepy house right beside it, viewable from the kitchen. When we arrived there were a lot of bugs everywhere. One more additional cleaning and maybe some basic soap for the shower would have made our stay a lot more comfortable.

Beautiful cabin

Quaint little cottage that feels like you’re on the edge of the world, but is conveniently close to a lot of the hikes and sites around Skye. Really lovely and comfy.
