"This was a fantastic stay on the Isle of Skye. The staff was fantastic, the room was huge. The staff was incredibly nice and the hotel had a great restaurant on site. Be prepared that if you come in midge season, bring your repellant if you plan to explore. The hotel is right by Sligachan Bridge so great to get out early and go hike to Sligachan waterfall, etc but be prepared for tourists after 8 in the morning if you're going in a busier season. Overall would recommend and would stay here again"

"I cannot recommend staying here enough! This was such a uniquely special place for our first visit to the Isle of Skye and every little detail of the cottage was so helpful and done with care and love that it really made the experience one of the best we’ve ever had. Sarah-Jane was the perfect host - extremely helpful, super responsive at every step of the process, and one of the nicest people we’ve had the good fortune to interact with on Vrbo. The chickens were so sweet and lovely to see every morning, all of the property’s amenities were top-notch, and we simply could not have asked for a better home away from home for our stay. Would absolutely come back if we visit Skye again and would recommend to everyone I know that is interested in going to stay here. A huge thank you to Sarah-Jane for everything!"
