  Burnside cottage was amazing .

  ...from location to accommodation 10/10. We were met by the owners mother who showed us around the cottage , explained heating etc and reassured us they were only a phone call away if we needed assistance , which we didn't but felt safe in the knowledge they were there to help. The cottage faces full on to the loch with a huge set of picture windows in the huge open plan living area, with 5 leather recliners and foot stools to sit in and admire the view ...pick a seat , pick a window and just relax and take it all in !! The cottage sleeps 5 and we were only 2 so it was huge , there is an ensuite with the double room and a large family bathroom with a bath which was fully utilised after walking every day . The kitchen is fully stocked with everything u can think of ... there's even a slow cooker if you want to put a stew on before u go out for the day !! Everything is very clean and well appointed . Under floor heating ensures the cottage is always the perfect temperature. Full laundry facilities also . All in all feel lucky to have gotten a last minute booking as you can see its almost fully booked through the seasons . We will definitely stay again given the opportunity . As an aside this location feels perfect for exploring the whole island as its more or less in the middle . There's also a large well stocked co-OP 7 miles away in Portree for every provision.

  We all had a great holiday in a lovely clean, bright + roomy bungalow in a very peaceful setting. Very well appointed. Being such a bright house, would perhaps recommend an eye mask, (if very early morning light bothers you) as the window blinds in the bedrooms aren't enough to fully darken the room on sunny mornings. Having had lovely weather, the spacious decking at the front made for a very comfortable + relaxing space, with beautiful views. We took advantage of the inclusive golfing offer at the nearby Colvend Golf Club. A very well maintained course, with pleasant challenges + amazing views. As mentioned in previous reviews, the entrance gate is a little narrow. We had a Hyundai Tuscon + had about 2-3 inches clear either side. Rockcliffe is a lovely little village, with scenic walks, including one to the nearby village of Kippford, where there are a couple of eateries and coffee shop. Would definitely recommend Firpoint as a holiday rental, we will certainly be back.

  Cleanliness was superficial in places and things like the oven needed a good clean to be useable. Water pressure for showers could be better. There were no instructions with the central hearing and hot water system which was not working when we arrived and required a phone call from a plumber to rectify the following day although the owner did attend to this very quickly. The mattress in the small double bedroom was most uncomfortable as were the settees. There is an annoying buzz in the hall and twin bedroom seemingly in the roof space. Otherwise the property was well equipped and in a lovely setting with all utensils etc. that we needed. We would have liked more information in the online write up about the TV arrangements and would probably not have booked the property if we had known that all it provided was freeview (ie no DVD player or other TV options).

  Burnside Cottage on the Isle of Skye was amazing.

  The position with views over the Loch from the fabulous panorama window in the lounge were stunning. The gardens were well stocked & looked after. James, the owner, had thought every little detail to make our stay comfortable & enjoyable. The fixtures & fittings & furniture were top quality, & it was like home from home! There were so many little additions which you do not usually get in rented accommodation, e.g. herbs, ice packs & a fitted picnic cool bag, umbrella, games, videos, t.v.'s in each bedroom, toiletries etc.etc. plus a box of fudge & roses!! I defy anyone to have a complaint & would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone. Well done James ( with the help of mum & dad!!)

  Riverside Cottage is an absolutely delightful home from home.

  Beautifully located with tremendous views across the loch and an ideal base to explore this wonderful part of Skye. Remote yet only 10 minutes from the excellent Coop and all the facilities of Portree. The cottage is very modern, extremely comfortable, well laid out with a magnificent kitchen diner that flows through to a spacious lounge with log fire and further sitting area with windows on 3 sides to relax and enjoy the views. It has all the appliances, kitchen and dining facilities you could ever wish for, all of top quality. The owner lives nearby and is quickly available if needed and very caring. This was our second of we hope many future visits.
