“Cottage smelled musty, couldn't put clothing in the drawers as they all smelled musty too.”

It was ideal for a family our size but the kitchen equipment really let it down. There were two frying pans, one had the non-stick peeling off and the otherwas so filthy we didn't touch it. There were ample saucepans but anything that had a non-stick coating was peeling and everything was greasy and had to be washed before it could be used, including the cutlery. Wooden spoons so old the wood was separating and sticky utensils. Also most of the symbols on the oven dials have been scrubbed off ...

As a family not planning to eat out every day it made it hard work. Also the view from the cottage, whilst beautiful, is not quite as advertised as there are other buildings and foliage in front of the sea so the photo on the advert must have been taken with a zoom lens and is misleading. There was an issue with the shower which the owner corrected very quickly. Shame the kitchen lets this place down.

“The directions to the cottage were poor.”

I arrived about 7-30PM in the dark and could not find the cottage. I used your post code to guide me to the cottage, it guided me to the junction of the A87 and A851. The map on your website had the same location. I then spent an hour in the dark and the rain trying to find the cottage. I was about to give up and spend the night in the car when I noticed the directions said drive past the sign for Armadale. Then I tried again, I drove up and down the unmarked single road looking in vain for either the cottage name or number 9. It was only at the second time that I decided this must be the road. still no indication the cottage was here, the cottage name is not at the end of the drive as expected. It does have a sign, its brown and even in daylight couldn't be read from the road. After a seven and a half hour drive I didn't a hunt the cottage game. Your directions could have been so much better. At the junction of the unmarked road and the A87 you are spoilt for choice as to how to indicate this is the road. At the junction there are 4 signs: Stone sign for Broadford next to black and white sign for Willowdale B&B and immediately before the junction signs for Driftwood B&B and a big green highways information board. You could also have said, if you pass the sign for Harrapool you have just passed the road to the cottage. questions: Why don't you use all the possible signs to indicate the unmarked road? Why isn't the cottage signed at the end of the drive? Why does your post code direct people to the junction of the A87 & A851? One or two other issues: Double bed not made, it took me a couple of days before I had time to sift through the bed linen for the right one's for the double bed. My car got stuck on the grassy drive (more grass than drive) couldn't see in the dark. I also found it difficult to see the numbers on the key safe even with a torch. Despite all the above problems the cottage was ideal for my needs and a perfect location to explore Skye. I appreciated the quiet in particular.

“This is an excellent wee cottage in a great location.”

Apart from being in a quiet spot there are a few good restaurants only a Taxi ride away. The cottage itself is very comfortable. However a few recommendations I would make are as follows: a new front door, the TV didn't work properly so I would recommend a new one and slightly bigger, and the bathroom could do with a few shelves. Although it has 3 bedrooms, the cottage itself is quite small so would only recommend it for a family. Having only one bathroom could be a problem if all occupants were adults but can be managed. My husband and I feel very much at home in the cottage and am looking very much forward to returning next year.

“The cottage was well equiped but the beds a bit uncomfortable.”

It would be nice to have some flowers in the garden .

“The directions to the cottage are misleading; when arriving, visitors need to pass the turning to Armadale (not just the sign), and take the next left before the small stone bridge.”

It's a great cottage and a super location. We had a great time, explored a lot but still have more to do - a week is nowhere near long enough! Just a couple of notes to the owner: 1. We managed to lock ourselves out of the bathroom! Fortunately the window was open so we posted our grandson in and he opened the door - the door had been closed from the outside with the lock in the locked position. 2. The tank overflow is running constantly - not usually a problem on Skye, I guess, but maybe this summer there's less water then usual...

“The location of Caladh Na Sith is superb, close to the Skye bridge for exploring the mainland, and close to Broadford with all it’s facilities, for exploring Skye.”

It’s very well equipped very comfortable and clean, and Kirsteen was very friendly and responded very quickly. If we return to Skye, I would love to use the cottage again, thanks.

“A peaceful haven”

ideal location for cottage,not far from village of Broadford,hotels ect.Cottage very clean,all amenities you could need. Few little niggles,that Im sure could be rectified , cd player in living room does not work,and an addition of a dvd player would be great. Perhaps dampness at end of hall,strong odour,small table with scented candles to mask smell. New shower unit in bathroom. With few tweeks this cottage could be that little bit better.Need a new key lock on railings for key store.

Broadford 2 miles. Within two miles of Broadford, this neat and cosy detached Isle of Skye cottage has lovely sea and mountain views.

Pleasantly situated off a quiet single-track road, this Skye cottage would suit a family or group of friends who want to relax and yet not be too far away from good local services.

With the accommodation all on ground level, this Skye cottage has a twin bedroom, a double bedroom and a single bedroom, all with fitted wardrobes.

The kitchen has a dining area and is a nice place to gather over an evening meal.

The sitting room has comfortable chairs and a lovely big window providing views to the sea and the mountains of Torridon.

This cottage on Skye has a large enclosed garden providing lots of parking space and privacy, and is certainly a good place to relax and soak up the peace and tranquillity.

The village of Broadford is within easy walking distance so leave your car at home and visit Skye's very own Serpentarium and get up close to the snakes, if you dare.

If you would like a beautiful sandy beach then visit Ashaig very close by to this Isle of Skye cottage, and you will more than likely have it all to yourself.

Breakish is an excellent base for touring the Isle of Skye and whether you go south or north there is so much to see and do.

After a day out and about you will be happy to return to your wee Skye cottage and just relax.

About the location

BROADFORD

Portree 29 miles.

Skye's second largest village, Broadford lies in the shadow of the Red Cuillins and spreads itself along the southern side of Broadford Bay. Views extend out to the Isle of Pabay and more distantly to the Applecross mountains on the mainland. The village caters well for the tourists with shops, hotels and colourful craft stalls. Close by is the little village of Elgol, which enjoys 'the finest view in Britain' - the end of the Cuillin Ridge seen across Loch Scavaig. From Elgol pier take an unforgettable boat trip to Loch Coruisk in the heart of Cullin Mountain Range. The nearby Sleat Peninsula known as the 'Garden of Skye' has many attractions and a ferry link to the mainland - Armadale to Mallaig.
