This is a lovely place to stay! We were positively surprised. There is actual seals to see nearby. The host is very friendly and honest, he will give good tips on sights too see in the area :)

Seal Cottage lived up to its name - it's easy to catch the local pod of seals chilling in the bay. The property looks like a shed, but is immaculately decorated and modern inside; plenty of space and very comfortable. Fresh eggs and muffins were provided every day! Compact cooking area, but plenty of utensils etc to prepare simple meals.

The location was amazing right on the loch side. Very comfortable cabin which was well laid out and very well decorated. Everything you could need was there. Very good location for visiting other places. Abundant wildlife. Very informative host. Lots of little touches made the stay extra special.

Our host was so helpful, and made us very welcome. We loved that the family each made wonderful home made cakes which were left for us on our return in the afternoon. These were wonderful, after a day in the hills, but the resident hens' eggs were the best treat of all. We enjoyed the breakfasts too. As for the setting, it's great, easy for reaching Trotternish and Waternish or beyond. Fantastic views of the Loch straight outside the huge floor to ceiling window, great for viewing all the wildlife. A seal colony was resident close to the cottage accommodation, and they could be seen in the Loch. Sea eagles around too.

Location was fantastic - a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of Portree. Breakfast provided and coffee machine was great - so were the homemade cupcakes left each day! Kitchenette did us great when we weren't able to get restaurant reservations one evening. Everything was so well equipped. Saw a Golden Eagle from the window too!

The kitchen was perfect for what we needed, a small fridge and cooker top with plenty of crockery, cuttlery and utensils for basic cooking. We were grateful for the beautiful breakfast hamper every morning, cereals, fruit, yoghurts, bread, butter, jam and pan au chocolate.Having fresh eggs and homemade cakes every morning was a real bonus and very thoughtful.

Stunning view out of the window. Very comfortable bed. Well appointed shower room. Breakfast basket generously refilled daily.

The location was fantastic the view on a morning was lovely ,

Great locations, loved waking up to the cows at the window. Fabulous view! Breakfast basket was very nice, the cottage had all we needed.

The property was clean, tidy and well laid out. The bathroom was fantastic, and the breakfast basket was a lovely additional touch. The views out of the window were beautiful and Neil was a great host throughout with tips for the local area and getting in touch when we had left something behind. Flexible check in time was great for us, especially as we only booked the evening before arrival. Great directions were proved ahead of our arrival which made the process smooth and simple. Overall, a beautiful place to stay while in Skye!

Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
