    The cottage was absolutely stunning, the pictures don't do it justice! Beautifully presented, super clean and fully equipped with everything you would need for a few nights stay. The perfect base for our trip to Skye, would highly recommend!

    Fabulous cottage. Luxurious 5* accommodation. The cottage has everything you could need for a stay on the Isle of Skye. Great welcome basket, from underfloor heating to a fan. A wonderful stay after a day's sightseeing.

    There is nothing to dislike!!

    Absolutely everything. This property is a 7* not a 5*. Every single detail and possible requirement has been thought of. It was warm, comfortable, totally well equipped, peaceful, in a great location for Dunvegan and the northern end of Skye. I would go as far as to say Perfection in a Property shape. I still don’t understand why it was half the price of all the other available options on Booking.com for the period! I would happily live in Crofters Cottage.

    We'd definitely stay again when visiting Skye!

    We know this is highly dependent on preference, but we found the bed firmer than we like. I slept fine with it, but my wife has some back issues that didn't get along with the bed. As I mentioned, this is a very personal preference for everyone. Regardless, the cottage is in such a great location and kept so clean and equipped, we'd happily return again.

    The location was outstanding, being in the middle of the island on the west coast we spent the week traveling the entirety of Skye, with plenty of time to return to the cottage from anywhere after a day out and still cook dinner, saving us both the money and hassle of making restaurant reservations. On the one night we didn't cook for ourselves, we stopped by the fish and chips at the end of cottage driveway (out of sight of the cottage as it is set back off of the road). Access to the cottage was with a key in the lock box, the code sent to us well in advance by the owner. Directions sent from the owner were also greatly helpful as both the phone navigation and car navigation had us going somewhere else, miles away from the cottage, so pay attention to those when received. The cottage is self catering with all of the amenities and utensils needed to cook, including a dutch oven, which was a surprise. With a clothes washer/dryer, we were able to launder our clothes prior to leaving for the next leg of our trip. Living room furniture was quite comfortable. The bathroom was quite a good size, and my wife loved the tub. The in-floor heating was exceptional in keeping the entire house warm, with separate thermostat controls in each room. We didn't use the bikes, walking poles, or fishing gear that's available in the shed to the the back.

    honestly, nothing. All good.

    So nice I booked it twice. It's a spacious modern property in a tradition shell. Very comfortable with a few nice extras provided to help your stay. Host is very helpful, excellent in fact. The place was spotless on arrival and everything worked. I think this place would be Ideal for a couple wanting to relax in a touch of class while visiting Skye. Log fire for the winter too! It really felt like a home from home.

    I know there were problems with the water pump, which can hardly be helped, and it's commendable that the owners are trying to be very eco-conscious. However, it made a lot of noise when it was on. Also the bed is fairly harsh. Both just small points that shouldn't deter someone from staying at this wonderful property.

    We arrived a day late after missing our ferry. The owners had left us a lovely gift and note for our arrival. The place is very well thought out, although with only one night we didn't have a chance to use it to its full potential. Lovely place and would definitely consider returning.

    This is a beautiful home of the highest quality with no expense spared. It was cosy and warm, very comfortable and peaceful. No neighbors apart from sheep! The bath was pure luxury as was the bedding. We spent a week here on our honeymoon and we couldn't have asked for better. The location was pretty central and Dunvegan was the nearest town with a few shops. The castle and gardens there were worth a visit. The Old School House Restaurant was lovely too. We did cook several nights at the cottage though and had everything we needed. There was a thoughtful food basket when we arrived and communication from the owners was great. We were sad to leave this amazing home and can't recommend it enough!

    The location was excellent & all the facilities needed where there for us . They had thought of everything from guides on how to get there to little touches like fresh food on arrival . It was a great cosy place to come back to after a day out hiking . What a little gem & would definitely recommend . Cannot wait to return .
