Position of cottage next to sea. The view from the upstairs bedroom - fantastic with a lovely big window which opened very wide.
Mr Preece, Stalybridge, July 2011
Wonderful location, lovely house.
Mrs Garratt, Rugby, July 2011
A warm, clean cottage with beautiful surroundings and views. It was quiet, peaceful and secluded.
Mrs Hunter, Liverpool, April 2011
We really enjoyed the property we rented. It was in a gorgeous location, secluded yet not too remote - Portree being just a 30 minute drive away. We were pleasantly surprised at the state of the kitchen. The cutlery and crockery available far exceeded our expectations. The living room area was wonderful and we particularly appreciated the provision of a few boardgames and puzzles for the rainy days. The heating throughout the house was very good.
