    Best couples accommodation on Isle of Skye

    Christie provided above and beyond hospitality. He was very friendly and welcoming to us on arrival and during the rest of our stay. In setting out his accommodation he thought of everything, nothing was amiss and we wanted for nothing during our stay. It is set in a serene part of the island at the end of a quiet no exit road, but not far from the town of Portree, so perfect if you like peace and quiet but want to be handy to local shops, cafe’s and is located centrally to the islands many attractions. Christie also had pet lambs and chickens and we were welcomed to join him in feeding them while we stayed, a little extra to the experience.

    Nothing

    The view from the property is incredible, would recommend if you have a car as its a little out of the way but only 10 mins drive from Portree and very accessible from other touristic locations on the isle. The host Christie was really helpful and as a bonus left us fresh eggs and a welcome basket! The house was well equipped, extremely clean and cosy.

    Only downside is Lots of small insects in the evening.

    The apartment is located in a quiet countryside with great views of the hillside from the dinner area. Cheerful, kind and helpful hosts whom did prepare the place super clean stylised and comfy with 5 starred facilities. They are super considerate to provide us with lots of fresh eggs from their farm.since there is a shortage of eggs in the area. The kitchen is perfect with most of the seasoning, oil and spices. The coffee is wonderful too. The washer and dryer are in the laundry room next door .

    Super clean. Great location to visit Isle of Skye. Private. This host has thought of everything. Great decor and special artistic touches. We couldn’t be more impressed. The perfect stay in Isle of Skye, and close to many attractions. This home is more than fully equipped for a long stay. Book this if you can. My wife is an Airbnb Superhost… and she commented that this was the best accommodation, the most comfortable and most complete accommodation we have visited in 6 months of travel.

    we were lucky with the season, lots of little lambs! Christie could not give us fresh eggs, since the local fox had stolen his chickens, and the new ones did not lay yet. to compensate he pointed out the spots where the wildlife came to drink.

    Christie came to pick me up at the beginning of the street. Very Kind, and supportive!

    The road up to the accommodation was a bit tricky but you cant get the views without being a little off the beaten track.

    The welcome box (Champagne, whiskey, hot chocolate, cakes, etc.) exceeded our expectations. Riverside was so cosy and comfortable, fitted with lovely furniture and paintings. The bathroom was very spacious and the rainforest shower was superb. We couldn't fault this accommodation and would gladly recommend it to others. The views from the living room were stunning and included mountains and forests.

    I would recommend the kitchen should have tin foil, shrink wrap and a set of oven gloves. Apart from these minor requirements there is nothing amiss about this property.

    The fixtures and fittings were of an excellent quality. The owner had paid great attention to detail. Very comfortable bed, sufficient crockery and stuff in the kitchen and a beautiful welcome pack which included champagne (proper)! The view from the property was to die for especially from the breakfast/dining table when eating. There was even a drawer of essentials should one have forgotten toothpaste/razor etc.

    Nothing, really.

    The property is in a perfect spot for hikers interested in visiting different areas on the Isle of Skye. The owners was super friendly and nice and they left us freshly laid eggs, a bottle of Prosecco, milk, a local beer, coffee and cakes, which was really appreciated. Guests can also use the laundry room and this is a bonus if you need to wash your clothes after having hiked in the mud. The cottage is lovely, quiet, quite big and very well designed and furnished. There's also a drawer with first aid necessities, such as period pads, and two robes to use when at home. Lastly, having Netflix and Amazon included is a great bonus and having a fully furnished kitchen is a great help since it's very hard to find a place where to eat because of the crazy amount of tourists on the island.

He took a good time to talk to us about the area and he was really nice in every possible way. They had put in the effort to really surprise us with little things that made us feel very welcome.

    Nothing, it was absolutely perfect.

    From the minute we booked the Riverside Cottage, we were contacted by the owner Christie re our booking and arrangements for our arrival. Christie and his wife were accommodating and looked after us from when we arrived. The property is beautiful and Christie made us feel at home whilst stocking up on freshly laid eggs, milk, biscuits and even a bottle of Prosecco as a welcome. It was immaculate and Christie had left out loads of wee extras/essentials for us incase we forgot anything. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riverside Cottage and will defo be back again to explore the Isle of Skye and will be going back to the same property. My wife wanted to take their shower home with us lol, great fixtures and fittings and very cosy. Five star rating at a three star cost!!!
