Tigh Fasgaidh

We had a lovely stay in the house.

Very good facilities and a great base to explore local attractions and lots of things to do. We found the owner was very responsive to a minor issue we had and resolved it quickly. Thanks for a great holiday home.

A comfortable property in a quiet location.

Well equipped and the garden room was particularly useful for entry during wet weather. Listing and postcode does not take to the property. Check Google street map for a more precise location.

really great cottage - would definitely recommend!

What a gorgeous holiday cottage in the heart of the Scottish Highlands!

From the moment we arrived it felt warm, welcoming and incredibly cosy. The cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay and made the perfect base for exploring the stunning surrounding area. Every detail had clearly been thought of and it really felt like a home away from home. We loved our time here and would definitely visit again — such a lovely place to stay!

Tigh Fasgaidh was a clean, comfortable and well-equipped property; well situated for exploring the Isle of Skye and the surrounding area.

We couldn't visit Eilean Donan Castle as it was being used to film the remake of Highlander. It will be first on our to-do list when we return to Tigh Fasgaidh.

A very spacious, well equipped and comfortable cottage

What a fantastic cottage.

Well laid out, plenty of items in the kitchen, lovely comfy beds, sofas which we fell asleep on a few times. Well cleaned, fresh, more than a home from home. Would we return? Without hesitation.

Great cottage with everything you need provided

Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautiful cottage in an amazing location.

The cottage was very well equipped with everything that we needed and very warm and welcoming. Many thanks again, we had a fantastic holiday

We had a great time in the cottage everything was really good thanks

Property definitely needs a deep clean, smelt musty and damp.

Put it down to just needing airing until we discovered the black mould. There is black mould on the wall by the window in upstairs bedroom and over the window frame. Black mould all over door frame in the ‘drying’ room and around the door. Awful discovery on first night of a used diabetic monitoring device with a bloody needle in the shower, so very lucky that it was noticed before it impaled one of us, totally disgusting. Grill tray in cooker required cleaning before we could use it. Cottage is in a good location to travel to Skye, you do hear the busy road noise though. I agree with others that a garden gate would improve the garden, unsure why you are clearly so resistant to putting one there.Theres unsecure to the hillside and then there’s worryingly unsecure to the road.

It’s a lovely house in a great spot for getting around the highlands and on to Skye.

Very quiet and peaceful (you occasionally hear the main road but only outside and it’s not intrusive). We only used the downstairs rooms as there were just 2 of us, although we did go upstairs to find more towels as 1 large towel each for a week when you can’t guarantee the weather to dry them is a bit tight. The water pressure and availability of hot water is excellent - the shower by the kitchen is fantastic. The kitchen is well fitted, including a dishwasher, although there was no dishwasher detergent (only salt) so we had to buy some (see below comment on last morning). The lounge is comfy and very roomy and we used my streaming services plus iPlayer to watch TV as standard terrestrial channels are not available. The bed we used and bedding were decent quality. We have already recommended the house to friends who also enjoy a Scottish holiday. My only ‘negative’ is the ask of guests to do housework on the last morning. We used to have an Airbnb and if guest chose to do any ‘cleaning’ it was a bonus, but we never asked and certainly didn’t have specific laundry baskets labelled for the task. We also always provided dishwasher tablets - 1 for each day of their stay. In my opinion stripping beds etc is not what people come on holiday to do. To be clear, we did it and often do, it is expectation / ask that I personally don’t like. As I say, we liked the house, have recommended it already and had a lovely stay overall.

Logement très accueillant avec quelques charmantes petites intentions de la part des propriétaires.

Très confortable, propre et pratique.

It was a comfortable cottage, which was clean and tidy, however I know it was listed as open garden, this could have been easily remedied by putting a gate at the end of the garage.

This would make it much safer for small children and dogs. I appreciate that the back is open to the hillside, but it is so overgrown at this time of year,it would deter all but the most adventurous children or dogs. The front garden would therefore not be open to a sometimes busy road . The cottage is in a lovely area and is perfect for visiting Skye and the surrounding area. I know this may sound picky, but there were no trays to heat food in the oven, in an otherwise well stocked kitchen.

A comfortable and well equipped cottage in a good location.

Great cottage very clean and tidy everything we were looking for.

The cottage was a great base to explore the area The short walk down to the shore was great for the dog.It would have been nice if there was a light at the back door and a gate at the garage to make the garden dog proof . Other than that the cottage was first class i would love to come back if in this area Thank you very much .

Fabulous!

Clean and so well equipped. However, and there’s always one! As it is advertised for children and dogs, why oh why don’t you put a gate across the garage entrance? Such a shame that dog had to be on a lead all the time, as the road is quiet busy outside. No outside light at back,really hard to see trip hazards, coming back with arms full to find lock. Coffee/ side table would be good - we used dining chairs with coasters. Mould spores on the front windows, in lounge And lastly, not sure if you are aware, the loo next to kitchen’s cistern is constantly filling,hope you’re not on a meter!

We loved the cottage, I felt a bit emotional leaving it.

It had everything we needed. It was very comfortable and homely (I even did a bit of weeding!). It was such a great base for exploring the surrounding area. I would recommend it to anyone and will, hopefully, visit again.

Lovely property with valuable upgrades Excellent location and wish we could have stayed longer

Well equipped comfortable cottage.

Good location and excellent value.

Lovely place.

Sun trap garden. Comfy beds. Spotlessly clean. Morden but cosy. Everything you need at the cottage. Dornie and surrounding areas are absolutely stunning.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous cottage.

..excellent facilities and nice touches.. definitely will be visiting this lovely place again !!

Lovely cottage, well equipped, warm and a great base for discovering the area.

Thoroughly recommend staying here.

The property was spacious and clean but smelled damp downstairs.

The window over the bed in the large bedroom wouldnt stay closed and the toilet in the downstairs shower room leaked from under the base every time you flushed it. With a few improvements i would rate it highly.

You need to omit the things said about the views.

There are no views of the loch or the castle. The accommodation is spot on very clean and spacious but I also booked this property on the description of the views so on that point I was extremely disappointed

Nice wee cosy cottage.

Very well equipped and clean. Would recommend

We had a lovely stay at the property(thanks very much for the welcome pack) , it's was a great house for the 6 of us, there was plenty of plates and cutlery, it was nice and warm, beds were comfy, all really very good.

There's certain things that I would address if I lived there is when it rains the front door path becomes very slippy and dangerous when wet because of the moss. The upstairs bathroom door & the back bedroom door blind isn't adequate for stopping people seeing you in the room(they can see you, you can't see them). The drying room was a bonus to have. A reading light in the living room would be good to. It's an excellent property for two families holidaying together, we had a lovely time there.

Some practical details for owner to consider.

The downstairs room has an ineffective blind on the door which meant light disturbed those sleeping in that room, but also you could see into the room when there was a light on thus impacting on privacy. Abetter blind or solid door would be good. We had a wet week and used the garden room as a "drying room" but there was no means of venting the room - either opening windows or an extractor fan would be good. Happy for following to be published: Lovely cottage, very comfortable, well equipped, great location though we had expected to be closer to the sea from the description. The bakery & pizza house along the road were brilliant. Nearest shop is Reraig so a drive needed even for basics like milk. We hope to return!

Comfortable cottage in great location.

It a very nice place but a few things needed to be sorted out like it says sky TV but it's bt and not set up so no TV was working ,it says open fire but log burner with no glass in door and no handle ,(help and safety issues) and the top bedroom door does not shut but left a wedge to put under the door (again helf and safer issue ,other than that we had a very nice stay and would come again if these issues are sorted yours Mr baker

I would like to say that this is one of the nicest properties I have stayed in.

The cottage was equipped with everything you would need for a great stay. The weather was good everyday with sunshine every afternoon. I would definitely recommend this cottage and I know that I will be returning.. Thankyou... Dave. Denise. Eddie & Yvonne.....

Had a lovely time at Tigh Fasgaidh.

A great cottage in a fab location for lots of adventures in all directions. Trips to Skye, Inverewe Gradens, Applecross and Eileen Donan castle. Amazing bakery a short walk away. Very cosy cottage generally well equipped although only 6 plates and 6 bowls etc which meant we ran out constantly, so more of those would be a useful addition. The side entrance with coat hanging and boot room was very welcome, in fact would have struggled without it as such a wet week! Warm and cosy with nice touches like a bunch of flowers and loaf of bread when we arrived, although no wood for the fire so had to go a few miles looking for a shop that sold logs. A deep clean of skirtings and cobwebs etc needed but overall a great cottage, clean and comfy with everything you need for a family break. Thanks for letting us stay!

We had a very enjoyable stay in the cottage.

It was very clean and well- equipped and the large side table was ideal for jigsaws! A very good base for exploring Skye and the local coast.

Tigh Fasgaidh was as lovely, comfortable, roomy and full of character as the pictures suggested.

The kitchen was well equipped and pleasant to use. The secluded garden with morning and evening sun for breakfast and BBQ (with midges but we persevered!) was a nice surprise especially as the owners had provided new garden furniture in response to someone else's comment! A beautiful spot, very peaceful with views of hills around, dark skies and stars out of the top velux window, and a short walk from the shore, Manuela's bakery and PizzaJo's, with mouthwatering pastries, bread and pizzas, and of course Dornie with the Clachan Inn and village store. Just a shame there was no need to use the lovely wood burner as the weather was so warm! We had a wonderful week, with sunshine and no rain! If anything we found the cottage almost too warm at night, with lovely thick feather duvets, but they would be perfect for most Scottish weather! The only minor issue we had was an overflow from the upstairs shower onto the tiled bathroom floor. On investigation we found a clogged up filter in the shower drain so this was easily fixed and didn't happen again. Worth adding to the list for the cleaners to check each time, and making guests aware of in case it happens again. We also needed to buy more toilet rolls as we couldn't find any when the original ones ran out, but I think this was probably on the list of things to bring, and a small price to pay! Thanks again for such a lovely place to stay. It was perfect for my 60th birthday hillwalking treat with some of my grown up family and a good friend. I'd love to come back some time!

A great comfortable base to explore the Highlands and isle of skye

A lovely cosy cottage which was perfect for our grown up family.

Everything was clean and tidy, and the anti Covid measures were excellent. The location is wonderful with lovely walks and the loch nearby. There were plenty of activities within easy travelling distance. We enjoyed the glass bottomed boat, a fishing trip, the beautiful, if challenging, hike to the falls of Glomach, Eilean Donan castle and Portree. Sadly we had two failed attempts to visit the Fairy Pools on Skye due to heavy rain. This cottage is in the perfect place for those interested in beautiful scenery and wildlife.

Lovely cottage wasn’t as clean as we would of liked crisp packaging behind sofa shaving mirror hadn’t been cleaned in master bedroom and glasses had to be washed before used.

Outdoor furniture would of been nice

The cottage is beautiful and in a great location.

It had everything you need within the cottage but could benefit from having outside seating

A perfect place to stay.

We've been travelling to Scotland for nearly 40 years and always stayed in holiday houses/cottages and this is amobgst the best. Spacious, exceptionally well equipped, spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and in a great location. Perfect for adults and families. It would be hard to find anything better. We will definitely use again.

We had a wonderful week staying at Tigh Fasgaidh Cottage.

The cottage is in a great spot situated just a short 10 minute walk outside of Dornie and a short drive to Kyle of Lochalsh. The cottage itself is lovely with everything needed for a cosy stay in the highlands, our favourite part was the wood burner which is perfect on those cold nights. Claire and Edward were always on hand to answer any questions we had about the area and there was plenty of material in the cottage offering advice of things to do in the area. They were even kind enough to leave us a bottle of prosecco, cakes and some flowers as we should have been on our honeymoon, this set our holiday up perfectly. We cannot recommend this place enough it is somewhere we will definitely book again.

The organisation to rent the cottage was excellent with follow up emails from Sykes and a lovely email from the owners asking how we would like the bed linen to be organised.

On arrival at the property the keys where easy to find and a lovely welcoming pack was waiting for us in the kitchen. We loved the position of the property close to the sea shore and close to the hills for longer walks. There was a helpful guide left in the cottage well explaining different walks much appreciated. We climbed the hill behind the cottage on the first day to look down at the cottage and see the lovely location with Eilean Donald Castle all part of the Beautiful Location with the Lochs running up to Kyle of Lochalsh. Kyle of Lochalsh was a good shopping centre close to the cottage and catered well for all neads. The property was well kitted out and reading the log of past visitors all have enjoyed their time in Tigh Fasgaidh as we did and have to add the weather was great for the west coast of Scotland during our stay. Thank you owners for sharing your lovely cottage with us and the improvements made reasently make it a lovely place to stay and relax. Thank you for the provision of fire wood for the wood burner which was appreciated. Great holiday home. Best wishes to all those who stay in her.

Spacious cottage with well equipped kitchen.

Quiet and relaxing base. Well placed for tourist trips to both mainland and Syke attractions. Many high quality mountaineering routes locally. Great little bakery and pizza place a 5 minute stroll along the road and nice outside area for a drink at the Dornie Hotel a ten minute walk further on passing Eilean Donan castle.

Very well equiped and comfortable cottage.

Lovely cosy cottage and really well situated for exploring the hills of Glen Sheil.

Me, my girlfriend and 4 of my Best Friends had Chosen this House for our one week Trip from Germany to Scotland.

After our 2 days Trip with the Ferry from Amsterdam to Newcastle and Plenty of Hours in the car we Finally arrived in this wonderful House. All of us loved it at first sight. The clean bedrooms and comfortable beds in it, the big kitchen with everything you need, and the highlight was the living room with the super cosy fireplace and couch area. Unfortunately there was no wood when we arrived but at the second day we brought some by the next coop market. But the best thing about this place might be the location. You are almost in viewing distance to the Eileen Donan castle (just a small walk to the nearest loch) Only a 10 min car drive to Kyle of lochalch wich is what you would call a “bigger city” in highland standards. And from there you can enter the Ilse of Skye over the Skye bridge. The Isle of Skye is the most favourite destination of my girlfriend and me and we spend almost the whole week to show all of its wonders and secrets to our friends. It was the third time we visited Scotland and not for the last time for sure. This house gave us everything we needed and I highly recommend it for every family with dogs. Cheers, Leon.

A lovely cottage, great location.

Walking distance to local bakery

Beautiful location.

Peaceful. Central to reach surrounding areas. Great family run bakery 2 min walk, very quirky.
