"Cottage was very clean and comfortable."
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Plenty of things to do and see. Amy's place on skye is well worth a visit for lovely cakes.

"Lovely cottage in a fantastic location."
I don’t think the listing quite does it justice. Would definitely visit again.

"We absolutely loved our holiday in this cosy wee cottage."
The whole experience was great from the fantastic views we woke up to every morning to the cosy fires we sat around in the evenings. During the day we went to the local beauty spots of which there are many and popped over to the Isle of Skye, only 5 miles away where we enjoyed the majestic landscapes enhanced by the misty rain. If you can book a lunch at the Stein Inn in Dunvegan, it’s a must! The cottage is very homely, and we will come back for sure.

"We were delighted with ou stay at Creag Mhor and are very grateful to the owners (and any staff) for their attention to detail."
The location was very peaceful and calming. The cottage very comfortable and welcoming. There is very little that could be improved.
Given that the cottage is located in such a pristine area, it would be nice to see all cleaning products used in the cottage being eco-friendly so that anything going into the water system is as safe as possible. One of the cleaning products was by ecover but all others were not eco-certified. That is probably the only improvement we can think of.
Thank you once again.

"Nice cottage in a great location for several Munros and Corbetts."
Comfortable for two adults with winter walking kit, would have been cramped for four people and all their gear.
Welcome pack for the wood burners was lacking unless it was meant to be 6 pieces of kindling and one log?
The wood burners could do with upgrading, or at least replace the door seals so they draw properly, we struggled to keep them going. We live in a rural area and rely totally on wood burners for our heating.
The kitchen was well equipped with a variety of pans, oven dishes, mugs and plates. Some oven gloves would have been handy.

"The only thing I would say that is missing is a washing machine if you are staying for a week or more."
We love this cottage which is why we have visited 2 years in a row.

"Beautiful little cottage, fantastic wood burning stoves."
Just a lovely getaway and such a fantasy to live like that. We went in February and the weather was pretty bad for most of the week but we still explored and it was the best little place to come to and get out the rain and snow. We hope to revisit in the beater weather so we can make the most of the garden the cottage has. Can’t recommend enough!

"Lovely little cottage about a 10 minute drive off the main road."
The location is ideal for exploring Skye, Applecross, Eilean Donan Castle etc. The cottage had everything you could want within reason, all the basics and a few extras such as the wood burning stoves and amazing views. The stoves are described as the most efficient way to heat the cottage, although "efficient" is perhaps the wrong word, as they were expensive to run, yet very effective. Even when it was -2 outside it was lovely and warm inside. There were only two of us, but it would still be fine with 4 people staying.
We are considering returning to the area next year and may stay at the cottage again.

"It is an extraordinary and idyllic place where you can enjoy with all comfort of tranquility and nature."
Without a doubt, it is a place where I would go there again. The Creag Mhor Cottage is so cozy that we felt at home.

It would be nice if there was a briefing. The underfloor heating for the bathroom we did not get.
Unfortunately, the DVD player was broken.

"Lovely cottage in a beautiful location."
Ideal base for exploring the area, whilst quiet and remote enough if you just want to escape from it all. Excellent facilities in a peaceful setting.

"We are grateful to Sykes and the cottage owners, that they allowed us to adjust our booking because of a family funeral."
We were very happy with the cottage. As others have mentioned, we found it challenging to get the stoves to perform efficiently.
Partly to do with sourcing dry logs. So we were conscious of using more electricity than we might have done.

"A really lovely cottage and we were very happy with the excellent location for walking in the hills."
The cottage was warm, nicely renovated and well equiped.
There was a good selection of dvds however it would be better if the television was also available. We're not there to watch tv but on the darker nights it's nice to have the option.
We had very heavy rain which came down and leaked heavily onto the kitchen woodburner. It didn't cause any problem at all but may worry some guests.
Overall we were very happy with our holiday and would visit again.
We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay and would be happy to visit again. Sorry you had rain down the chimney. It?s something that can happen in these old croft houses when the rain is particularly heavy. We are glad that it didn't cause you any problem at all. Property Owner

"The cottage was not really suitable for a letting in November in its current condition."
It has background electric heating and two wood burners to heat the downstairs, which is one large open plan space. However the two stoves are both old and do not work properly - we have stoves at home and are well used to using them. Neither sealed properly - there were gaps in the door and one had a broken baffle at the back, so they took masses of logs and did not heat up . It was therefore difficult to keep the cottage warm enough and cost about £10 a night in logs - unreasonable on top of the cost of the cottage. It owuld not be a big investment to sort the stoves. Otherwise the cottage was lovely.
Thanks so much for your feedback. We have added a turbo electric convector heater and replaced the seals on the woodburning stoves so everyone can stay warm whatever the weather. Property Owner
