    The location although very scenic, is very far from any shops.

    The decorations, the facilities, the supplies and convenience of the place is really spot on, comfortable and cozy. The utensils provided and soaps are very nice.

    The dining room light fixture had a short in it and was not operable. When we attempted to turn on we noticed water dripping from the light bulb and an electrical smell. The manager came soon after and placed tape over the switch. It was not repaired during our stay.

    Loved the wood burning stove, though we did not use. The apartment was nicely configured and kitchen outfitted. Beautiful scenery from the interior.

    Nothing. Just be aware you will need a car.

    A stunning property. It feels very special. Clean, modern & comfortable. The facilities were great & I loved the skylights in the bedrooms to look at the stars. The fireplace was lovely & kept the living areas super warm & cosy. Super quiet & isolated without being too remote.

    Incredible location, spotlessly clean, immaculate renovation

    Being very picky as everything was great but the shower in the (No7) cottage in the main bedroom was tricky to use, with low pressure and the temperature gauge very sensitive.

    Spotlessly clean, great facilities and well equipped cottage. Super comfy beds and linen. Incredible location.

    There was some olive oil, but maybe having a few seasonings around would be lovely for it being far away from restaurants and cooking was mostly what we did for dinners.

    Absolutely wonderful! Great location for hikes and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Isle of Skye. Beds were comfortable and it was wonderful having a kitchen.

    Very happy with stay at this facility.

    Both pillows on bed were firm and uncomfortable, one could have been softer. Difficult to get the water temperature right in the showers. All the washing machines in the laundry were being used by housekeeping, including the machine for use by guests and not available for guest use.

    Nicely furnished, nice views from the facility in both directions, good location for getting to hiking trails, not that far from Portree and grocery shopping. I left a print I had purchased in the unit when we departed. I contacted them, they found the print and have mailed it to me. They were very responsive when I contacted them and got it in the mail promptly - very appreciated.

    The Log fire was damaged by previous guests and needed a little sorting out by the owner who was helpful. Some of the sky lights were screwed closed as it looked like they had leaked in bad weather.

    Location was great... the building is fabulous , large and highly spec'd. A comfortable stay. Dog friendly. Quite remote. Th restaurant is walking distance (5 mins) and fabulously imtimate.

    Views aren’t really able to be enjoyed from the room and if you go outdoor to enjoy the view there are no comfortable seating areas. Would have been prefect to have some sun loungers / maybe decked area to sit outside. There are some picnic tables however they aren’t comfy to lay on and read.

    Floras secret is lovely and clean and cosy.

    An ancient house in a magical place, but facilities too basic for the price& no view from the house

    The 8 cottages are all very close together and non has any privacy- you walk past the windows of every cottage on the way to your own. No view from the cottage other than a small kitchen window ,and with your body out of the first floor velax. Facilities rather basic for the price. Pots and pans & one toilet dirty on arrival. Host gave us a discount to compensate for the latter

    The location was amazing, fantastic views with remote feel. Quite magical. The hosts very friendly and helpful. An ancient building full of atmosphere.

    We liked everything. However, if you have a choice of cottages, Flora’s Secret # 7 seems to be the only one without a view of the loch from inside the cottage. The views from outside are spectacular, however, and there are nice hillside views from the bedrooms. The shower controls seemed to be a mix of high tech digitally controlled appliances and old school not quite there British plumbing that we never quite managed to get working comfortably - odds on that was user error rather than a flaw of the property.

    Wonderful location. Comfortable cottage. Friendly people. Dinner at the main lodge was excellent.
