Had a brilliant holiday in a wonderful location. Didn't want to leave.

“We had to e-mail (no phone signal ...”

We had to e-mail (no phone signal in the cottage) the emergency contact to report that the oven was extremely dirty and that the door did not close and therefore unusable. The frying pan was unusable - due to appearing to have been burnt. The freezer compartment in the fridge was impacted with ice and badly in need of defrosting, unfortunately we had done a full shop on the way to the cottage and therefore had no choice but to use the fridge. There was no chopping board. The people managing the property responded immediately and within a few days they had installed a new cooker and a new frying pan and chopping board. They also gave us two bottles of wine for the inconvenience. The property could do with new pans and also a new mattress for the double bed. The springs were prominent and the mattress was very soft. The DVD controller was also missing. If these little problems were attended to, then we would not hesitate in booking this property again. The main reason for this holiday was to get away from fireworks due to our little dog being terrified of them. It was a great success as we did not hear one firework the whole time we were there

“Lovely, spacious property equipped ...”

Lovely, spacious property equipped with almost everything you could need & in a gorgeous location - even better than it looked in the photos! The only thing that could make it better would be the inclusion of a telephone/internet connection, as it is in a very remote area where mobile phone reception is non-existent (while it's nice to be cut off to some extent, it meant we weren't able to contact restaurants for reservations before going out and I did worry what might happen if an emergency arose!). Otherwise, perfect & would recommend.

Stayed for a week, could have easily have stayed for 2 though. Cottage was very comfortable and homely. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. Will definitely consider staying again.

Dunvegan 5 miles. This charming detached cottage occupies a truly tranquil position on the beautiful peninsula of Greshornish on the Isle of Skye.

Set on a private country estate and boasting stunning views over Loch Greshornish towards the sleepy hamlet of Edinbane, this Skye cottage offers well-equipped and comfortable accommodation for all guests.

Surrounded by acres of picturesque, unspoilt countryside and home to a wonderful array of wildlife including otters, seals, red deer and eagles, this Skye cottage is a walker's and a wildlife lover's paradise.

The remote, yet accessible location, of this Skye cottage makes it perfectly placed for enjoying all Skye has to offer: remoteness, seclusion, dramatic natural beauty, romantic history, rugged coastline, bracing mountain walks and world-class restaurants.

A short drive away is the village of Dunvegan with its famous castle and where a good selection of pubs, shops and restaurants can be found.

Relax on the cottage lawn with a glass of wine, enjoy a spot of fly fishing on the owner's private hill loch (Apr to Sep) or venture out on one of the many scenic walks that can be found from the doorstep.

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.
