“The location was amazing, about 20-30 mins drive for nearest town and shops, close to a few nice places to visit, all within 45 min.”

The cottage was very clean, warm and was lovely to stay. Iain the owner was very nice and brought us more wood for the fire. if you are looking for a nice relaxing stay, amazing views, nice place to relax in the evening by the fire this is the place.

“The cottage had a really strong musty and doggy smell.”

The microwave was rusty inside and the cooker was filthy inside as was the toaster. The television wasn’t working properly so I tried to contact the owner to find out if he knew there was a problem with it and also to tell him about the microwave and the terrible smell. He didn’t answer so Sunday I phoned Sykes and he then did make contact when they had spoken to him. He came out to see for himself acknowledged there was a very strong dog smell but put that down to the wet weather and there had been 2 dogs in previously. He said he would replace the microwave and toaster and bring us some candles which he did later that day when he brought air fresheners. He fiddled with the back of the tv and said some leads were loose and the tv then worked. We tried to put up with the smell but by Tuesday decided to call it a day. We were terribly disappointed as we had so looked forward to visiting Skye and had spent a week in Oban the week before at a wonderful clean bungalow called Callinish which is also dog friendly.

“Cottage was fine and comfortable and the garden was perfect for the dogs.”

Only issue we had was the cottage is listed as having access to a boat for fishing. My hubby and 2 kids were looking forward to doing some fishing but the boat was completely submerged in the boat house. Maybe an idea to take out of description unless willing to replacing the boat.

“This is an ideal place for anybody looking for peace and quiet.”

The island itself is stunning and one of a kind. The views from the windows are jaw dropping. We felt better than at home and would love to revisit one day.

“Well, being a keen boat lover I was looking forward to rowing the row boat on the Loch but unfortunately it did have a slight leak and was making water when we both got into it, so I decided not to have my much looked forward to a bit of holiday fitness fun!”

! Hubby had a good hour or two alone fly fishing being very careful to take the bucket to bale out!! Also it would have been nice to have had life jackets? we would have bought our own if we had known. The location was wonderful fantastic walking and exploring lovely fenced garden for the dog a big asset ! Cottage was very clean the only thing was the wifi - it was useless as was the signal for mobile but honestly that was NOT really a problem. One other thing, not a complaint - just a note- we have in the past, had many cottages in Scotland that leave a small welcome pack - which is nice when you arrive - especially when its in an isolated location. We will be coming back to Skye because our daughter lives there and we would consider coming to Florin Cottage again :-)

About the location

DUNVEGAN

Portree 22 miles.

The village of Dunvegan is set in the north west of Skye and contains a mixture of traditional stone and modern houses, along with a selection of shops and hotels. About a mile from the village is Dunvegan Castle, home to the Clan MacLeod, who have continuously occupied the castle since the 13th century. Only four miles away is the famous Three Chimneys Restaurant, a must for all foodies, and just a 10 minute walk away is the very popular Old School Restaurant, also worth a visit. Also in the area are the Cullin Mountains with their fantastic rock forms and pinnacles, which many climbers would put at the top of their list. Other attractions on the Isle are plentiful - visit the Talisker Distillery or Portree, the island’s only town, set around its natural harbour, which boasts an excellent range of shops, hotels and restaurants, and also offers Sea Eagle trips from the pier, which are extremely popular.

Thanks for finding this new feature!
