We stayed there with 2 other couples while visiting the Skye area. It was perfect and we had everything we needed. Very nicely furnished and comfortable.
Incredible stay. Took the Jacobite train, did a water cruise, saw Lochness and Inverness. The stay was clean, comfortable and inviting. Even saw deer. Wonderful! Thanks!

Great guests who we would welcome back to our Lodges.
The property location was perfect and beautiful. The lodge (Staffa) looks to be very clean and very modernly designed. It had everything we needed for the tree days journey. However, appliances in UK/Scotland are not the same as in the USA. Without instructions, we were able to figure it out after a couple of trial and error. Other than that, it was a wonderful property.

Hi Jean,
Thanks for taking the time to write a review.
It's unfortunate that you did not advise us of the issues you've mentioned during your stay as these sound like issues which could have easily been fixed for you.
We are on site every day, for most of the day. However, as is natural, our guests are away from the Lodges most of the time enjoying the scenery and visiting the attractions. For this reason, we leave our phone numbers at the top of the Welcome Letter so guests can get in touch with us at any time.
Regards,
Jim & Pauline
