We stayed in this charming and cozy house on the Isle of Skye for four days, using it as a home base while exploring the entire island each day. The service was seamless, and the host was incredibly understanding and responsive. Located not far from the Talisker Distillery, the home offers breathtaking views overlooking the Loch, with plenty of friendly sheep adding to the idyllic atmosphere.
If peace and tranquility are what you seek, this is the perfect place to stay. While there is a small community store with limited hours nearby, it's important to note that the closest town with shops and dining is about a 20–30 minute drive. This remoteness adds to the charm but is something to keep in mind for planning meals and supplies.
With three bedrooms, one bath, and a bonus area, the home met our needs comfortably. We encountered a few hiccups with the heating, but the host promptly answered our call and informed us about a small heater, which we used in the common space, and we made it work. We also appreciated having a washer and dryer to refresh our clothing for the rest of our journey.
There appears to be some mold starting in the laundry room, but it’s being addressed. A dehumidifier is available to help combat the damp atmosphere, which is helpful in this climate.
Overall, this home provided a warm and peaceful retreat in one of Scotland’s most stunning landscapes. I would stay here again.
