“The cottage was lovely the location was great.”

The rooms and furniture, including beds, were very comfortable. Kitchen and appliances/utensils were more than adequate and very clean. Whilst we appreciate that a holiday on Skye is a "getaway " and a place to enjoy the peace and quiet the only downside to the cottage was no WIFI. Although that would not stop us booking the cottage again. We would definitely recommend this cottage to our friends and family. The major plus for us is the fact that the cottage is dog friendly. ...

Great place for a holiday and to discover the north of Skye.

“Great cottage.”

Quiet location and no problems.

“Lovely cottage in quiet setting.”

The cottage was cosy, clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with utensils, crockery etc and catered perfectly for our needs. There is a bbq, lovely outdoor table and chairs but there is so much to do we didn't have time to use them. The cottage has a very peaceful feel to it. Situated next to a well run quiet campsite this did not impinge on our enjoyment in anyway. The cottage is situated in a beautiful area of Skye and is a great base for easy access to many of the "must visit" sites. We will definitely stay there again in the future. Loved it!

“The property is desperately in need of a deep clean, as requested we contacted the person on the booking form twice whilst en-route with no reply, when we arrived the key was in the porch door.”

it is a long way to travel with this uncertainty. the directions were poor the property was at the rear of a campsite down a lane well off the main road. we found a dead pigeon near the back door which we dispatched to the dustbin.the grass needed cutting and generally the property was short of some T.L.C.we were there two days before anyone came to see us. this is our first time with sykes and i have another property booked in september so i will wait to see how that works out before booking any more. P.S. we traveled over to the the isle of lewis from skye and stayed in a property much cheaper but much better prepared and more welcoming.

“The cottage was a little short on Equipment such as Garden Furniture just 2 rickety wooden chairs and a broken table The property advertised a barbecue this wasn't there, we were told later in the week that this was at the caretakers along with new chairs!”

The grass hadn't been cut and was like a meadow until mid week. At one point painters arrived to do the external walls, they left as they didn't want to encroach on our holiday. we were abused by a very disturbed camp site resident after asking him very politely to turn his music down a little as we had put up with it all afternoon, to say that his language was a little blue is a massive understatement, I was pleased that there were no children in the vicinity. I had to go to the site office to ask them to take some action before I did! Overall the issues had a negative effect on the enjoyment of our trip and was a little disappointed, I was told that Alan from the site had informed the owners and that they might be in touch, as yet they have not.

“Very clean and well presented.”

A few issues with the heating which were dealt with as quickly as possible. A great location to explore Trotternish and the rest of the north of the island but not much in the way of cafes/pubs etc nearby. Overall, we were very happy and the week we had here flew by.

“perfect for all our needs”

Cottage very clean and well equipped and great value for money .Good size for 2 adults and a dog and very private. Someone always on hand to answer any queries which was brilliant when my van broke down. Great location for a quiet break with plenty of walks. Downstairs bedroom with en suite perfect for my mum who although has no real disabilities at 90 isn't as able as she once was!! Definitely want to return and more than happy to recommend to y friends.

“Great cottage in a quiet location.”

Perfect for 2 Labradors who loved the enclosed garden with their own burn to splash in. Greta base for touring Skye.

The cottage itself was perfect would not book again as it was to far north for us great place though if you want peace and quiet staffin was fine with two shops and two restaurants and close to the kilt waterfall and the old man of storr

“We were delighted with the property.”

It gave us a great base to explore this lovely island . The house is warm and spacious, much needed after some wet and cold days . For a week at Easter the rental was exceptional , even for two people.

“Great for access to the Trotternish Ridge”

Great little cottage, which has almost everything you could need, if you don't mind being a little bit out of the way. Great for accessing the Trotternish Ridge, which is what we were here to do, and a great place to come back to after a days walking. We were here in August so a little more expensive, but worth the money.

“Will come back, fantastic cottage”

We stayed here Monday to Saturday with our two dogs. It was easy to find from directions given. The cottage itself sits on its own in an enclosed garden. Inside was immaculate and was well furnished. It had all the utensils and appliances you would need from a self catering accommodation. We would highly recommend this cottage to everyone. We couldn't find a single fault with it. We will definitely use it again on our next visit to Skye.

“A home from home”

We have just spent a fabulous two weeks exploring Skye with this cottage as our base. When we arrived we were welcomed warmly and there was a bottle of wine waiting for us in the kitchen. The rooms were well proportioned and and well laid out. The property was very clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We had everything we could possibly need. The garden was excellent for the dogs and we were well looked after by the site caretakers, nothing was a problem for them, they were very helpful and friendly. I would recommend this cottage to friends and family. Best of all wifi and mobile phone access was limited.

“Fantastic comfortable base”

Just back from a fantastic holiday in Skye. This cottage is lovely, so well equipped and spotlessly clean. There is lots of space, and very comfortable. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a home from home, and a great base in which to go exploring the fantastically beautiful Isle of Skye.

“Warm and cosy”

Cottage better than expected from images. Very warm and cosy. Very quiet but it is next to a campsite which wasn't open while we were there.

“Relaxing holiday”

We love Skye but have always loved passing through Staffin. This year we decided to stay in Staffin for the week as I have been unwell. It was the best holiday the sun shone for the whole week, the holiday cottage had everything you could possibly need. Our pup had a great time chasing rabbits as we sat on the patio. The cottage itself was spotless and there was a small campsite outside our garden gate so watching the coming and going was interesting. The owners popped in to see that all was ok. Hope to do this again and I would recommend ths cottage to anyone.

“Very well presented house, in a great location”

We stayed here for four nights in November. The house is in a great location set back off the main road in its own gardens. It was very quiet and peaceful. The facilities in the house were all modern, with a well equipped kitchen. All rooms were spotless and well presented. The house has two sitting rooms, one downstairs with a TV/DVD player, and a second room upstairs off one of the bedrooms with sofas and board games. At the back of the house, there is a larged covered area that can be used to store and lock up bikes if you cannot fit them all in the porch. The house is well located on the island with the Quiraing and Storr nearby, and Portree a short drive away. The village of Staffin also has a couple of local shops, but its only a short drive to Portree where there is a good sized Co-Op. Its a good base for walking and cycling, or for reaching other areas of the Island by car or bus. The house has a modern oil fired central heating system that warms up the house very quickly. I would certainly recommend this house to friends and family, and would return if I visit Skye again in the future. I booked this house through Sykes Cottages who provided a very good service, and helped me choose this house after my first and second choices were not available for short breaks.

“Nice touches”

The house is adjacent a campsite, which you see from the front windows, but has its own garden. As we had been camping and came here for a bit of comfort this was fine for us. The location in the north of Skye was really good - lovely walk in the mountains. The houses facilities were better than described - a washer-dryer proved very useful. Some lovely touches in the bathroom. Be prepared there is no mobile signal and the local shop is closed Sundays.
