Skye Vacation

The property is wonderful - everything we could ask for. Great location, wonderful view, peaceful setting - and loved the cows, who visited us every morning at the fence. James Lamont is a helpful property owner. We recommend it highly.

Beautiful and Modern House on Trotternish

Very modern, comfortable home, fantastic view, kitchen, two bathrooms. Washer and dryer such a lucury. Great location. Listing gives direction to Riverside Cottsge, a twin, sharing same driveway. They should change to Burnside name at bottom of directions as we were puzzled, not knowing there was a second cottage. Could have used outdoor chairs to soak in the sun as we lucked out with days of warm and sunny weather. Only an outdoor picnic table exists. Very clean, welcoming flowers a nice surprise. Highly recommend.
