We had a great week thank you. The sauna was a real bonus! We really felt like we were away from everything while being close enough to Broadford for everything we needed. We had an amazing couple of days on the Cuillin in the sunshine and visited lots of tourist attractions on rainy days including the Highland Games at Portree! The cottage was perfect for us, plenty of space and beautifully equipped, thank you.

One of the best and best-equipped vacation homes we ever had, we spent a wonderful week in the cottage. A bit challenging for tall people due to low ceilings and door frames but hey - nobody's perfect! We loved the personal rock formation in the lake just in front of the cottage.

Excellent location.Great views of lots of wildlife. Cottage had only 1 TV and only a fridge. Cottage was billed as 2 TV's and fridge freezer .. This was no problem with us but maybe needs updating. Key code access could have been sent earlier and not required lengthy phone calls on my behalf to several call centres to gain this information.
