This was the best place to stay—a beautiful house, cozy bedrooms, lovely downstairs sitting area with fireplace and dining room, lovely kitchen with everything we needed. I loved the one small bedroom upstairs whose window looks out over the beautiful landscape outside. Lorraine made us feel most welcome. It’s a bit of a drive out to reach the house, but so very worth it. We even had a rainbow and a full harvest moon while we were there.

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!

A cozy and beautiful cottage, the host is very kind and the place around stunning. The neighbours are rabbits and sheeps, so this is a very quiet place, but you can go everywhere on the island so this is a perfect spot to stay.

Hogmanay at the Top of Skye

My family of four (young adult children) thoroughly enjoyed spending our New Year in Willie McLeod’s cottage. It is a charming and warm home from which to venture out on Skye. The cottage is well equipped and the kitchen ready for basic cooking. We loved it and would come back in anytime!

Cute Authentic Living at Isle of Skye

The house was a cute, updated original farmhouse on Isle of Skye. Great spot surrounded by pastures of sheep and cattle. Good location to see all the sites. It worked great for my parents and my husband and me.

Perfect spot to see Skye

We had a lovely stay at the croft house. The house was well appointed, beds were comfortable and check in was easy. The view is spectacular. If you want to see local cows, pups, and rabbits, they are all present in the neighboring yards. Really lovely place.

About the host

Hosted by Lorraine Harlow

Host profile image
I have lived permanently on the Isle of Skye for 8 years after retiring early from being a Forest School leader and working with children with special needs.
I first visited Skye 25 years ago and lost my heart to this stunning island. My passion is being out in the landscape but in particular walking in the mountains on Skye and all over Scotland and the islands, travelling around in “Vanessa” my Campervan.

Why they chose this property

Willie McLeods House is located in a very quite, open, rural position with uninterrupted views to the Quiraing on the Trottenish Ridge and the towering mountains along the West Coast of mainland Scotland.
The property has recently undergone a complete upgrade, inside and out and caters for your every need after a day out walking or sightseeing.

What makes this property unique

Very quite location, walks from the front door, uninterrupted views, in full view of the most amazing Hebredian sunrises.
