When we arrived we actually wanted to spend time in the place over exploring because it was so clean, updated and welcoming. We really appreciated all the small details, welcome treats and local info. Skye is an amazing place and we couldnât speak more highly of this accommodation!

Very nice location. Secluded (relatively) and quiet. Doors and windows worked well... mostly. One bedroom door stuck, but was serviceable. Like all places we visited, it was over-heated. Here's a tip... lower the heat and save money and the planet. We had to turn off (or way down) all the radiators and open windows. Next, give more towels and wash-cloths. We had to go into town to buy toilet paper, paper towels, and wash-cloths for dishes. Nothing was afforded us. Spill something? Too bad, you'll just have to use one of the bath towels to sop it up? Huh?? We are responsible people who want to keep things tidy. We are respectful. Give us the tools to assist in doing that. Next... put up a few hooks or towel bars to hang the wet towels on. You want to be green... start there. Otherwise, where would you wish for us to hang the wet towels in order to not put them in the drier and use more energy. And speaking of the drier... does it really vent INTO the kitchen? Who thought of that? Driers should vent outside. Weird. And that mini-sink in the 'second' bath. Barely big enough to wash hands. Wash face? Sure, and then how do you wipe up all the water on the floor? Again... weird. Stove -cook hood was non-functional. No exhaust fan, no light. Thank you for allowing us to book this home. Mostly nice, but odd. We greatly appreciated the location and upkeep of the home.

Highly recommend. Had everything we needed. Super clean. Kitchen was amazing! Beds comfortable. I would say it sleeps 4 comfortably. The futon was not comfortable so I wouldnât include it in the sleeping arrangements.
