Unfortunately my son and grandson were to tall for the beds and didn't sleep well at all . Ended up on the huge settee. I found the bed downstairs very hard . But other than that the house and garden were great . Everything you could wish for. Beautiful area on Skye plenty to keep you occupied. We ate at the little cafe next to the shop when we didn't cook . Twice we had dinner there very nice home made . Nothing posh but worth it for good food.

Thank you for the kind welcoming gift of wine and chocolates. The good weather made the stay very enjoyable. The only down side was the smell of sewage from the little stream that ran through the grounds which on one or two occasions was a bit overpowering.
