The property is consistently described as clean and comfortable. One mention of an unclean oven suggests room for improvement, but overall, the cleanliness meets guests' expectations.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and tranquillity, with guests loving the remote aspect and proximity to local walks and attractions. The need for driving to access shops and amenities is noted, but it does not detract significantly from the positive experience.
Guests find the beds comfy and the living space ample, contributing to a very comfortable stay. The secure garden is a plus for pet owners, though some mention of gaps in fencing suggests slight concerns for smaller pets.
The facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable furnishings. However, guests have suggested improvements such as better kitchenware, more oven trays, and clearer instructions for appliances. The presence of Wi-Fi and central heating are positives.

The crofting community of Staffin is located along the shore of the northern half of the Isle of Skye. This peaceful community, which has views of Staffin Bay and Staffin Island, has something for everyone, including two restaurants, two stores, a part-time Post Office, the Staffin Slipway for sailors, the only sandy beach in the north of Skye, and a variety of coastal and interior walking paths. The major town on Skye, Portree, is located 17 miles down the coast, and from there, it is simple to travel throughout the entire island. The magnificent Trotternish Ridge, with the renowned and majestic Quiraing as its dramatic centrepiece, is easily accessible from Staffin and is a sanctuary for walkers.
