Fantastic mini carriage to spend the night as a couple. The stove keeps the room warm as long as it is turned on. And the fireplace, although we didn't use it, gives it an incredible touch.

My partner and I stayed 3 nights, lovely! With the lights the interior looks idyllic. Furthermore, David and Lynn were very attentive to us. They provided us with coffee, milk, and a varied complementary breakfast for each day. The Cabin also has a fireplace and a stove for those cold nights. Plus the views are stunning and it is very well located for exploring Skye. As a drawback, the bathroom is outside, about 20 meters away in the main building, which is a bit of a nuisance if it's a rough day.

A Tranquil Escape to Nature's Paradise!!My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Hut, and I must say it was an enchanting experience that surpassed all my expectations. Nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of nature, this secluded hut provided the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.From the moment we arrived, the warm and friendly owners (David and Lynn) made us feel right at home. Their hospitality was exceptional, and they were always ready to assist with a smile. The check-in process was smooth, and I was given a thorough orientation of the facilities and amenities available.The hut itself was a true gem. Its rustic charm blended seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, creating a harmonious atmosphere that instantly put me at ease. The interior was tastefully decorated, exuding a cozy and inviting ambiance. I was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail, from the comfortable bedding to the thoughtful touches that added a touch of luxury to my stay.The amenities provided were top-notch.Now, while my overall experience at the Hut was exceptional, there was one minor inconvenience that I feel should be mentioned. The toilet facilities were located 30 meters away in the main building. Although not a significant issue, it did require a short walk whenever nature called. However, I must emphasize that this inconvenience was outweighed by the overall quality of my stay and the beauty of the surroundings.Thank you to David and Lynn at the Hut for their exceptional service and for creating a haven of peace and serenity amidst nature's embrace.

Small but cozy, especially during a snow storm. We found it very comfortable for a “glamping” set up. Would have liked a brighter light option, but overall was our favorite place to stay during our week throughout the country.

Lovely little round roofed wagon, very comfortable and cozy on a windy night. It has good ventilation as well as a wood stove and electric heater. Just the perfect size for two. The bed was very comfortable, clean and long enough for me. But the lighting was less than perfect very dark at night whith a string of fairy lights as the brightest light source in the structure. The door also has some alignment issues, nothing a little oil and wedge wouldn’t fix. But overall all I would stay here again.
