Had a brilliant week, even the weather played ball. Every time you look out the big windows looking across to Skye, the landscape changes with the sun and cloud. Only downside was garden not fully enclosed, there's no gate between you and next door which meant we had to keep an eye on the dogs when out. Also there is two areas where the grass doesn't get cut, so when we arrived the dogs went exploring and ended up with about 25 Ticks on the 3 of them (we managed to control this by keeping them away from those areas). Would definitely go back again.

Excellent property which is well equipped. Scenery is outstanding and we were very lucky with beautiful weather. Very large garden but be aware this is not secure if you take dogs. We always had ours on leads whenever outside as there was livestock in the surrounding fields. However there are plenty of places to walk.
