With modern furnishings throughout, a cosy livingroom, fully equipped kitchen (with dining table), wetroom with walk in shower. Two double and one single bedrooms. Private garden with large parking area. Linen and towels provided.

Agnes and John were always quick to reply to each message, and very helpful when we needed support. The house is one of the cleanest we’ve ever had and the view is postcard perfect! Great window to look out when at home. We definitely recommend this property and them.Pls note, as Skye is very damp, there is some dampness to adapt to. But the heating and shower worked great! And line drying clothes on a windy Scottish day is something I recommend to everyone at least once!

Great property. Clean, affordable, good parking. I give it a 98%. 1 point off for not having a small clothes dryer, and 1 point off for the tiny shower (clingy shower curtain made it hard to shower) but we adapted and made do. Otherwise, a great place.

Very clean, kitchen sufficient, simple without a dish washer. Good location to explore Skye. Heating worked in the morning and evening. We needed to put the heater on, it was cold and wet. Clothing needed to dry due to heavy rain. Shower was clinical and with shower curtain. Bed linnen was clean. Upstairs, the ceilings are very low!! People taller than 1.90m will have issues. Nice views.
