Exactly what we were looking for

Perfect location for exploring all of Skye, not too remote, but very peaceful. The cottage is clean, modern, and very sunny (when the sun is out!). Owner was responsive to our needs, I would look forward to renting here again.

Gorgeous cottage in a perfect location!

We absolutely loved our 10 days in Flora's amazing cottage. Check in was simple and hassie free. It was very clean on arrival and was really well equipped with everything you could need for cooking meals. All appliances worked well and were very easy to operate. Very comfy beds, fluffy towels and the shower is amazing! We were quite unlucky with the weather and needed to dry out wet coats and boots frequently so the log burner and clothes airer came in very handy. The cottage is situated in a perfect location to explore all of Skye. We were very sad to leave and we're definitely planning on coming back again one day.

Idyllic Croft

The croft is beautiful and the surrounding area is quiet and beautiful, there is a lovely Honesty box close by for treats and fresh eggs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay the croft has all the amenities you could possibly want and Portree is a 10-15 minute drive where there is a large co-op. We will definitely be visiting again.

Lovely cottage & thoughtfully managed

The cottage looks great, outside and in. It is nicely furnished and decorated, spotlessly clean, and has a good layout. The kitchen is well stocked, every need was provided for, even a great view from the kitchen window. The bed was very comfortable. The living room is cosy and comfortable, with 3 sofas and a wood burning stove. The wi-fi broadband was good too. Flora the owner was very quick to respond to messages and is kind, generous and thoughtful. All in all, I would highly recommend this cottage.

Staying in the land of beauty

Really enjoyed our time in Skye. This place is a little off the beaten track, but in a way that's a plus. Beautiful views out the kitchen window. The lambs next door like to come out and greet you when you go out for walks. It's a comfortable home, and a nice fire at night makes it very cozy. Only knock is the shower, it when from scalding hot to ice cold with nothing in between. However, when we reached out to the owner she was quick to respond and sent a plumber to fix it. The owner as I say was responsive and very kind. I would not hesitate to rent this place again.

old and dirty cottage, despite the kindness of Flora

Despite the kindness and availability of Flora Guidi, I regret to have to express my very negative feelings about this rental. This is the first time we have been disappointed by a rental on homelidays. The cleanliness of the cottage was honestly doubtful, a smell of humidity and dirt, a very old cottage at a maximum price... despite our attachment to the island of Skye, our stay was wasted by this uneasiness in the cottage....

Very nice croft house, in just the right location

The origins of this property are humble, and the outside appearance is too, but inside we found everything we needed and more. Nothing fancy, but clean and with good attention to detail, ranging from the comfy living room to 3 bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. Adequate heating from the wood burner or the electric radiators. Some nice art on the wall of local sights. TV with lots of channels albeit a bit blurry. But excellent wifi/internet on top of that. From the vrbo listing it might be difficult to judge the layout and when arriving you'll find the property is free-standing but slightly built amongst a group of houses/sheds/hedges that limit the views you might expect somehow. However, the side window in the kitchen allows a glimpse of the bay/loch around the back and there's some slopes to be seen when sitting out front on the bench or when looking back from the couch. For us, it was not a problem, since this house is also an excellent place to start your discovery of Skye: it is so well placed along roads leading to any of the known and less-known destinations. Portree is great for shopping and has a lovely port and circular walk along the coast of the loch and woods. Every hotspot is reachable within 30-60 minutes, which seems like a selling point to me! What mattered most to us was the inside of the house, which was very good, and the contact with the owner, Flora. She was very friendly and quick to answer our few questions. Really enjoyed it! Very recommendable.

Peaceful

A beautiful cottage in a quiet area, spotlessly clean with all you would need for a perfect holiday. 3 good sized bedrooms, 2 double and a single ,lounge area and kitchen. A log fire with a substantial supply of logs. I would highly recommend this cottage as it is ideally placed to visit any part of the island.

Wunderschönes Cottage auf Skye

Wir haben eine wunderbare Woche in diesem Cottage verbracht. Es liegt ca 8 Meilen von Portree entfernt und ist absolut ruhig gelegen. Es hat einen hübschen Garten mit einem kleinen Teich (hier sollte man aufpassen, wenn man kleine Kinder hat). Das Cottage selbst ist innen geräumiger, als es von außen aussieht und war für uns vier groß genug. Es ist makellos sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Bad ist ganz neu renoviert. In der Küche ist alles Notwendige vorhanden, vielleicht mit Ausnahme von Teelöffeln. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war hervorragend und sehr freundlich. Bei unserer Ankunft fanden wir sogar eine Flasche Prosecco. Wir würden wieder kommen.

Wundervolles Haus 😍

Wir haben es sehr genossen hier zu sein und werden auch wieder kommen. Das Haus ist super gepflegt und sauber. Die Küche ist auch sehr schön und gut ausgestattet. Die Gastgeberin ist mega freundlich und lieb. Die Lage ist auch extrem gut. Von hier kommt man eigentlich an die meisten Orte gut hin. Ich kann tatsächlich nichts negatives finden. In dem Haus gibt es E-Heizungen wenn es mal kalt ist. Wenn es aber sehr kalt draußen wird, reichen die nicht unbedingt. Aber man gewöhnt sich dran ;)

Perfect getaway location

The location itself is great as you are on the coast within minutes of walking from there. Beds were super comfortable, all rooms were very clean, wifi connection was very good and the kitchen had all the utensils required to cook and dine as well as additionals (like sugar and tea). Communication with the owner via whatsap was remarkably easy and ai’ve already discussed coming back next year. Struggling to come up with a negative. — oh actually yes, the weather wasnt great on a couple of the days but thats not the owners fault at all :)
