"6 Knott provides a lovely based for a holiday on Skye."
It's a great location, making it easy to access all parts of Skye. The house is cosy and well furnished, and was spotlessly clean. The living space is generous and the open fires were extremely welcome in the cool evenings. Wifi reception was perfect whilst we were there. We had a wonderful stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage.
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at 6 Knott and your holiday on Skye. Property Owner

"Superbe cottage!"
Calme, propre et très bien situé pour visiter l’île. La salle à manger est parfaite et lumineuse avec son toit vitré. Les chambres sont douillettes et les lits confortables. Le décor est chouette: les moutons pour voisins, la mer à deux pas!

"This was a hugely expensive property at over £2000 a week."
Although it was nice there was not a feeling that this was a premium property. For example there was not enough toilet roll for the week for four of us and they were not new rolls which in these covid times is not right. The out side seats were very rustic one of which broke when we sat on it and there was rusty nail sticking out.
When paying this much money you don't expect this.
However, the beds were very comfortable and it was in a beautiful spot.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are delighted that you found the cottage comfortable and the location beautiful. During 2021 there was very high demand for self-catering cottages on the island, 6 Knott only became free because of a cancellation, which is why the algorithm-set price was higher than normal. We always do our best to ensure good value and a comfortable stay and we are available at all times to answer queries, or help guests with supplies, if contacted. We hope you can visit again one day.

"We had a fantastic time at Knot Cottage."
Located in the very tiny village of Knot this cottage is ideal for a family and for couples with all the home comforts you would expect these days including tv and wifi.
A ten minutes drive from Portree and Dunvegan Castle it is perfectly located to visit the wonders of the north end of Skye. We have had fantastic communication throughout the booking especially during these difficult times we are all in.
This was the perfect cottage in a beautiful location, to relax, unwind and switch off.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! We are so happy you enjoyed 6 Knott and very much hope you can return in the future. Property Owner

"We didn't book a holiday in Skye because of the lovely weather, so we were spoiled by clear blue skies and sunshine all week."
Because of the lovely weather, we didn't really get to use the house as much as we might have otherwise, but if we had, it had everything we could have asked for. It was warm, comfortable, well-equipped, and clean and very well presented. Really we could not have asked for anything more.
It is ideally located for exploring Skye. It seemed to be in the middle of the island and everywhere we wanted to visit was only ever a relatively short and picturesque drive away. A car is necessary for this holiday I think to get the most out of it as it is quite rural, but that gives you a very quiet location and off-road parking which far outweighs the need of a car for us.
This is a really lovely house which we feel very lucky to have found.

"The cottage was more spacious than we expected."
We had plenty of room for 6 adults and there was lots to do (good selection of games, books and DVDs). We were outside most days in the rain, so coming back to a really warm and cosy house was an important factor for us.

"The host was helpful and communicative throughout and moved heaven and earth to replace a broken tumble dryer for us quickly and efficiently!"
The cottage itself is in a stunning location and is so homely. The beds are comfortable, towels fluffy, there is plenty of crockery and cutlery in the kitchen and the rooms are warm and cosy. The wetroom was a real bonus for our party of seven and hot water was never an issue. WiFi was fairly reliable for the remote location and there was a wealth of local info laid out for us to peruse. We parked two large vehicles easily. This was a fabulous location from which to explore the island and although blissfully quiet and peaceful it is easy to get to Portree for shopping, which was great for making up picnics for our day-long adventures in this incredible place.

"The peace and tranquility on waking up and the view from the garden to the beach was so welcoming and a delight."
The house had plenty of room to house us all and still give us privacy when needed.
The island is exquisite!
And the locals were very friendly and helpful, was very sad to leave .
We had a little issue with the plumbing with the downstairs wet room, but was sorted the same day after a phone call to Sykescottages .
We would definitely recommend this to others for a thoroughly enjoyable relaxing break

"The cottage was spacious and well equipped for a fantastic family holiday week."
The kitchen/conservatory dining space was wonderful for gathering at breakfast and evening meals...in fact we spent most of every evening around the table in the conservatory eating, drinking & playing games along with other family who visited from a nearby cottage (11 of us!) The lounges were comfortable and very cozy with log fires burning. And we LOVED the showers...amazing water pressure!

"6 Knott is in the perfect location for us with views of the loch, beautiful scenery all around and within easy reach by car of the shops at Portree."
The house has really comfy beds and was very well equipped. The wet room had an amazing shower, whlch we all loved. It was also very dog friendly - tiled from the back door across the kitchen with plenty of room to clean up damp dog paws. The house always had plenty of hot water for 5 of us. We had an amazing holiday at 6 Knott - our only regret was having to come home. The best holiday home we have ever stayed in. We will be back.

"Beautiful house within a stunning location."
Beach only a brief walk down the road and breathtaking views across to Uig. Collecting fresh mussels from the beach whilst the dog played in the sea and all the time being watched by the curious seals was a daily delight! The house was warm, cosy and well equipped and the Rayburn for heating and cooking proved to be a draw for all concerned.
Would definitely recommend.
