Cottage was excellent in every way. However it was rather remote and required lengthy driving to reach most attractions for us.

This has been our 4th time in Beith cottage, as always we have been welcomed with a fresh loaf of homemade bread by the owner Simon. This cottage allways is an excellent choice is awesome clean and equipated, the situation is perfect for everything that Isle skye offers. I highly recommend this cottage. And we will definitely back

The location afforded some spectacular views of the Outer Hebrides and stunning sunsets. The property itself was warm, well stocked and comfortable with lots of nice touches such as home made bread and a welcome letter from the owners. It is one of the remoter parts of the island which absolutely suited us but nearest amenities and “must see” tourist spots were a drive/ bus ride away. Plenty of walking from the doorstep and a perfect place to rest and recharge. Would definitely stay again.
