Warm, cosy cottage. Perfect if you want to switch off from the world and chill out. There is no wifi and very little phone signal, which we don’t mind but might be a struggle for some. It has everything you need for your stay. Very well equipped kitchen for a holiday cottage. The hosts were great, very friendly and helpful.

Amazing property, clean and tidy had everything we needed and amazing views and sunsets. Loved the log burner and it was so quiet and just a short stroll about 10 mins to the water.Local shop is about 5 miles down the road called Rankins has everything you could possible need and not expensive i noticed some products were cheaper than what i buy back at home so no need to stock up in Portree Coop before you get there. Shop local and support the local community.Already booked again for next year see you soon
