• Visitor September 2020 - Verified booking

  My husband and I returned yesterday from your beautiful property in Skye having had the most fabulous time there.

  I have been many times before however I was introducing my husband to the delights of the island. As you can imagine I was a little nervous having bleated on about the place for years that I had perhaps oversold it, however Skye & Teangue House did their absolute best and he is now as in love with the island as I am. I just wanted to say thank you for allowing us to rent your amazing property. We were blown away from the moment we stepped in with its jaw dropping views and how well it was appointed. We are keen walkers and the space and facilities you have were just perfect for the paraphernalia required to walk in the all-weathers that Scotland throws at you on a daily basis. We walked Skye top to bottom and side to side and whilst some of the drives were a little longer than others, it gave us the opportunity to see the island. Your lounge view in the evening however was always a perfect way to finish off the day........ and the small glass of something alcoholic was purely for medicinal purposes to ease the muscles!!! We were supposed to be travelling with friends however COVID put paid to that but we now have a perfect excuse to return....... if we ever needed another one to add the other substantial list of reasons to come back. Thank you again, you have a truly magnificent property and you've given us some quite amazing memories.

  An outstanding traditional property with original features that offers everything you need. The bathrooms are spacious and quite new, with lots of very hot water and great water pressure we fought for the upstairs shower! Great to have the option to have twin beds, a rarity. With the beautifully rustic open fires lit Thorns is very cosy, with a home from home fee. We loved all the personal items giving character and personality. It is traffic free and so peaceful with stunning views of Wensleydale from every window. Guests were staying at the neighbouring properties did not disturb us - due to thick walls and offset parking. Supplies and equipment are well considered, we especially appreciated the fire lighters, kindling and logs. Agree with others, much better than it looks in the pictures, We left the cars at Thorns and enjoyed three different walks every day from the property. We walked into delightful Hawes for our evening meals - took head torches as it is so dark! Many thanks for the extras - cheese and cake, a lovely gesture and yummy! Overall we had a lovely stay Thorns is comfortable, peaceful and very well equipped.

  WOW!! What an amazing property

  . Spotless, high spec throughout and a kitchen that any chef would die for, all located in a place with a view that I can’t describe as it was so beautiful and changed with the weather throughout the day. The property is positioned perfectly for experiencing all the activities and places of interest around Skye, Raasay, and the mainland. Right next to the ferry to Mallaig , and 30 minutes drive for the 15 minute ferry ride to Raasay which is a unique place to visit. The house was cosy with underfloor heating and an easy guide left for boosting the central heating,so we returned each day to a luxurious retreat after the unpredictable weather conditions on Skye. Every detail of this property has been picked to deliver the best holiday experience and we can’t wait to return soon

  Spotlessly clean on our arrival, the caretaker was even waiting for us to arrive to introduce herself and make sure if we had any concerns we knew how to contact her, first class service. The property was wonderfully situated, very well equipped, warm, comfortable and the bathrooms were outstanding, all quality fixtures and fittings, even down to the denby tableware. The large garden was great for the kids to let off steam and with so many walks right from the doorstep we were never short of anything to do. The fact the property is surrounded by fields and well away from any roads meant it was quiet and we could allow the children to wander freely, oh and the views! We had such a wonderful stay that we are planning to return the same week next year.

  We loved our stay and many thanks to Vicki for her call prior to our holiday.

  The cottage was very relaxing and comfortable. We did manage to spend a little while enjoying the garden in between showers. Our only comment would be that the directions misled us a little. It stated that Kingbarth is the only property up the narrow lane but there is also the back of a converted barn halfway up which our satnav took us to and then lost signal! Would suggest more detailed directions and maybe a sign at end of the lane to indicate the direction to Kingbarth. The directions also said that no other traffic uses the lane - we encountered a farmer trimming the hedgerows and maintenance van filling the pot holes on separate days plus a contractor's van visited the barn on site. We became quite adept at reversing back up the lane!
