13 Sconser

Another great holiday at 13 Sonser, thank you for your accommodation.

Level cottage

Whilst the house was comfortable and well equipped, there were certain aspects that needed updating.

In particular, the back bedroom was musty, the furniture was dated and not very practical, and the curtaining did not darken the room at night. There was also an overuse of extension plugs with lights. The website information did not make it clear that the off‑road parking is not on the property site, so unloading and loading was difficult. The close proximity to the main A road on Skye was also not highlighted.

We really enjoyed our stay at 13 Sconser.

The house is ideally situated with a lovely view over the loch towards the ferry terminal. The accommodation is fine - we had everything we could want and it was comfortable and warm. In our case we had absolutely wonderful weather which together with the stunning beauty of Skye itself made for an unforgettable week.

Warm.

Spacious. Convenient location. Lovely setting.

Great place, great location and everything is perfect, thank you

Excellent stay, great location.

Garden and views the best.

The cottage was clean, comfortable and cozy and catered for all our needs.

Efficient and friendly Communication throughout. A great base to explore Skye

The house is in a beautiful place, very easy to find.

The island is beautiful and the location is the house is ideal to go anywhere to visit with a short trip. We didn't spend too much time in the house, because we did visit many places. The weather was very nice luckily, so we did some hiking too.

Excellent property in a fabulous location.

The photos don't do it justice; yes most of the furniture is "vintage" but everything works, the beds are really comfortable. Really spacious and good size lobby for all your coats & boots. The location is perfect halfway up the island so great for going either north or south of Skye; and only a short walk to the ferry over to Raasay (though worth taking the car or bikes if you go there's a lot of it to see).

Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen.

Die Einrichtung ist zwar etwa in die Jahre gekommen. Wir haben uns aber trotzdem sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und hat eine tolle Aussicht. Der Standort des Hauses ist ideal um alles auf Skye zu erreichen. Vielen Dank für die nette Kommunkation.

Lovely spacious accommodation, great shower and very helpful owner.

Central for hills, Broadford, Portree and Raasay, I would highly recommend this property.

13 Sconser is a lovely cottage, it is well laid out and the furnishings are adequate for a holiday home.

The bedrooms are comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and easy to use, the TV in the lounge has a mind of its own. We can never have enough of the views out of the lounge and bedroom. We enjoyed our stay and were fortunate to have good weather.

Really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage.

Good communication with the owner before our stay , who made sure our needs were catered for. The cottage was warm and welcoming on arrival, and well equipped. (Just one point to note the description states that a washer dryer is available to use but we found that it is only a washer, a dryer would have been useful during our stay,) The cottage is very well placed for exploring the wonderful things that the Isle has to offer. Would definitely book again when we next visit Skye Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our week staying in 13 Sconser.

Arriving just as it became dark, next morning we discovered a lovely secluded garden with a rushing burn and ever-changing great views front and back. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed, with good internet connection. A walk along the road towards the golf course takes you to a footpath to the stony beach, we were the only people on it and the views are superb. Not being car drivers, I had been a little doubtful how we would manage, but by organising beforehand we were able to use coaches both directions from the bus stops nearby to visit Broadford, and Portree where we took a tour of a large area of Skye and a boat trip seeing White-Tailed Eagles and Harbour Seals. We also took the ferry to Raasay from the terminal across the road and had a great day on that lovely island.

Nice and relaxing cottage enjoyed our stay

This is a lovely cottage located in an area that was perfect for our exploration of various parts of the Isle of Skye.

The house was cozy and well-appointed and the host was responsive and easy to work with.

Amazing cottage, stunning scenery and views, could not have asked for better.

We will be booking again

Everything was wonderful!

Lovely cottage , very clean and comfortable with everything you would need to enjoy your stay , ideal location to explore Skye , i would highly recommend you will not be disappointed

Great little cottage in a beautiful location.

Ideal centre for exploring Skye. Highly recommended

All perfect

Beautiful well equipped cottage lovely gardens great place to have a holiday

Nice cottage in great location with lovely views.

Would recommend.

Lovely cottage but sofas could do with upgrading and a larger tv as struggled to see the tv listings but overall lovely warm & comfortable stay Hopefully we will return soon

It is a great cottage on a perfect spot to discover the whole of Sky from.

There is enough space inside the house en the kitchen is well equiped. Only the two couches could be replaced. Not that you are not able to sit in them but it lacks some comfort after a day of walking.

A very nice house with a lot of space.

Good location to explore Skye. And the WiFi was fast. I would book it again.

brilliant stay, amazing location and lovely little cottage.

Just wish the sofas were a bit comfier.

I was very pleased to see that the property now had central heating rather than electric storage heaters.

The heating and hot water made a huge difference, it was excellent. It made me think I would return to this property. The bathroom could do with a make over but otherwise the cottage was excellent. The location is convenient for most of areas of Skye. The enclosed garden was also a bonus when having a dog with you. I enjoyed my stay and weather was quite good too!!

Beautiful little bungalow well equipped and very clean everything provided got a lovely garden to sit out on a sunny day and for the dog to run around in.

the gardens not child friendly as there's a stream running through it. keep an eye on the young ones three good size bedrooms shower over the bath. Very cosy all round well equipped kitchen everything you need . Only drawback is only a 19-inch TV and the sofas could do with replacing upstairs bedroom double bed with a new mattress few lumps and bumps in in the mattress so I couldn't really get a good night's sleep overall nice location friendly neighbours I recommend this holiday home great base to see the island we'll book again.

Positives;- The cottage was fully equipped and well situated.

Nice garden and superb views front and back. Heating system was efficient providing hot water as required. Negatives :- washing machine was not washer drier as advertised and door catch a bit iffy. Sofas and beds were passed their best and not comfortable. Driving an electric car it would have been helpful had we been able to charge the car at the property, we would have happily paid for the extra electricity this would have used.

This spacious cottage is a good base to explore the island.

We found the kitchen well stocked with cooking equipment and a large dining area was appreciated with five adults! The garden is lovely too! Wifi signal was excellent throughout our stay. However, we were unfortunate to experience torrential rain and gale force wind in the first few days, this caused us huge problems as there was no tumble dryer (I am sure it was listed when I booked!) and the heating was timed to be on for only a couple of hours morning and evening. Also, we must agree with another reviewer in that the beds and in particular the sofas were very uncomfortable. I would certainly recommend that a tumble dryer be fitted and new sofas/mattresses purchased. We made the best of our week in damp clothing!!

The cottage is well situated for exploring the island.

It is quite well appointed, but the instructions for the entertainment system (TV, Satbox, DVD) were outdated (i.e instructions are for a Panasonic TV when an LG is present) and many of the leads were found to be disconnected. Both ground floor bedrooms smelled musty. Worst of all were the mattresses which were so uncomfortable that none of us had a decent night's sleep during our week long stay. Similarly, the sofas in the sitting room were uncomfortable, the only comfortable seat was the single small armchair. If it will encourage the owners to change the mattresses then please publish but we will not be going back.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location for exploring Skye.

Great to have easy access to the loch and the Raasay ferry.

Cosy comfortable cottage.

Wonderful view. Ideal location for exploring and enjoying Skye and Raasay.

Fantastic location.

Beautiful wild garden

Beautiful cottage with stunning garden in central location on Skye.

Owners responsive to questions. Only small issue was some parts not well cleaned.

Location and cottage was lovely.

I would stay here again.

Cosy cottage well situated for travel around Skye and the ferry to Raasy.

Good central location for touring the different areas on the Isle of Skye.

The cottage was very comfortable and cosy, with super views all around.

Great comms with the owner, who was attentive and helpful.

The house was lovely - a perfect location for exploring the whole island, great views and cosy. The range of games was great too for fun family evenings. The kitchen was superbly equipped- the best we’ve experienced in our many years of self catering holidays! A couple of negatives were the bottom sheet in the front double bedroom was covered in hairs - not sure if human or animal. Thankfully there was a spare sheet in the airing cupboard. Secondly, the house was dusty - windowsills, the lamps, skirtings etc. These things in no way hampered our enjoyment but were a little disappointing.

We loved the cottage, it was in a great area for seeing the island.

We visited lots of great places , Fairy pool s, Raassy island, the dinosaur footprints on staffin beach.cullian mountain,s we spectacular. Elgol.

A little bit of heaven on the Isle of Skye - this cottage is ideally situated between Broadford and Portree great for exploring the Misty Isle and 5 mins walk to and from the Sconser-Raasay ferry terminal which is a great opportunity to explore Raasay.

Bathroom needs extra cleaning as there were some mold spots.

Regarding the facilities: an extra toilet would be nice.

We had a comfortable stay.

With 3 children it was great I would say be aware that other than the garden and the street its not really safe for the kids to go done towards the ferry and shoreline as the main road is very busy. This was not a problem but a factor when you are thinking of somewhere to stay with kids. The house was great and we enjoyed our stay

Great Location for walking and touring in Skye - Highly recommend

13 Sconser is a super property!

Thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay there and would definitely go again. Oh, and the dog thought the garden was brilliant, too!

13 Sconsor was well equiped and adequate for our needs.

The garden was delightful and suitable for our dog. However, we did feel it needed a bit of an update. The back lobby was shabby and the bathroom door wouldn’t stay shut. Overall, for us, it was too bland with no small extra touches for a feeling of cheer. It made me feel a bit sad. A little bit of money spent on it could make all the difference. The road in front was noisy but of course nothing can be done about this

it was the best holiday me my wife and kids ever had the trully stunning and beautiful surroundings we would and will be booking again with Sykes already have for 2019

The accommodation was perfect for three ladies on a walking holiday.

Ideally situated to reach both South and North of the island. It was clean and spacious and had everything that we needed for our stay. Each of us had our own room and I certainly had a very comfortable bed, with plenty of room to store my clothes.

For the price this cottage exceeds what you would expect to get in Skye.

It is perfectly located between the two towns of Broadford and Portree with the Sligachan Hotel just a few miles away. The bedrooms are spacious although the single bed was very uncomfortable. Everything we could need for a wintery week in Skye was available in the cottage.

Wonderful accommodation, so clean and a little home from home with everything there you could possibly need.

. Owner was so obliging in helping us and we will definitely be back ..

Sconser is well situated to cover all the island.

The property was absolutely perfect, everything was supplied to meet your needs. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Views were stunning. Highly recommended.

Fantastic cottage and so well equipped.

Great location and views from all angles. Lovely little garden with the odd summer surprise fruit bush ....... Cottage lived up to the listing and for once genuinely lived up to the promise of what was seen in the advertising. Almost like home from home. Initial impression - could move in and live long term let alone for a holiday.

Good location for Sligachan trail, hotel,, pub and Raasay ferry on doorstep.

13 Sconser was clean, well located, and well equipped.

The views are amazing and the garden is quite lovely. The landlord was very kind to assist by prompt email with a travel issue we had which didn't relate to our rental. I would recommend this rental to anyone visiting Skye.

Absolutely love this house, this was our second time staying here and it is definitely value for money what you get and location.

The only thing we would say is the mattress’s are very springy and on 2 of the beds can make it uncomfortable when sleeping. But everyone’s different to what they like

Perfect central location for exploring the island.

Very warm and cosy but very spacious. Well equipped in the kitchen plus a dishwasher and washing machine. Garden might be a bit tricky for toddlers Beautiful views from house across to Raasay. Brilliant kitchen add on porch for all the wet or dirty walking gear too which helps. I would certainly book this location again for a return trip.

We loved the cottage , it's very spacious and even bigger than we thought from the listing.

We took this holiday over New year and the house was very well heated! The location is very convenient, as it is mid-way between Broadford and Portree so one can get anywhere on Skye quite easily. It's also just opposite the ferry to Raasay, which gave us the opportunity to visit it and even drive up to Calum's road.
