Amazing location 20 minutes from Fairy Pools and the Cuillins. Our family of 8 had a wonderful time exploring Skye and enjoying relaxing at Shelduck House in the evenings. We can wait to go back.

Some of the kitchen pans could do with replacing. Beds not the most relaxing. Poor weather put a dampening on the stay with little to do. No walks nearby and nearest shop in Portree for food etc. The main reception area with views is lovely and there was plenty of living/dining space. We always mark reviews down so this was one of the best we have stayed in.
