We were there for 3 nights in July and loved it. It's a super quiet place with great views of the private beach right in front, where you can go whenever you want.The flat has everything you could need.During our stay, the kitchen faucet dripped non-stop, it was the only negative thing about the house because with the sound of the dripping drops it was hard to sleep. I hope they fix it soon.If I'm back in Skye I'll be back for sure!

Perfect!!! Best choice for Skye. We had such a friendly welcome from the owner Janice who is there for anything you might need, but not intrusive. The owners live on the ground floor and there was an additional bedroom on our floor for other guests but we hardly heard anything of our neighbours, it was very quiet and peaceful. We couldn't believe how beautiful the apartment was when we walked in, Janice clearly has a good eye as it was all beautifully furnished and co-ordinated, it was clearly a labour of love. And the view was just stunning! Fantastic honeymoon stay, perfect for a couple, very central to everything but 3 miles off the main road so very peaceful.

Beautiful and peaceful location with stunning views. The rooms were very clean and the hosts very helpful and nice.A bit far from Portree (via single lane road), but worth the trip. Will certainly stay there again.

All I can say is WOW. This place was magical the service and owners Janice and Roddie were some of the loveliest people my partner and I had met. The apartment was clean the shower and toilet were lovely we had no issues with the water pressure or hot water!The owners were very accommodating to our needs and helped where they could if we needed it. Alba and Buttons shared the same temperament as the owners although we were allowed to stroke those two!The aesthetic of the place was beautiful and really made our holiday. Thank you so much for having us!

Good service and very nice room. Property was great and had nice views. Very friendly dog! Only issue we had was the heat in the room, we did not ask for a fan though to be fair.
