Auld Mission Cottage

Excellent cottage, great location, everything here you need. Flowers, milk, fudge, wine, and homemade muffins were a lovely welcome after an 8.5 hr drive. We would highly recommend this cottage.

We stayed in the cottage over Easter and were very satisfied. The cottage is beautifully decorated and, combined with the fireplace, is very cozy. Communication with Teresa was wonderful.The landscape is beautiful and all in all definitely worth a visit.

A house as you would want it to be rented out. More comfortable, fully equipped and in a visible location.Before checking in, we received the code for the key box. This way we could enter the cottage whenever it suited us on our arrival day, of course after the cleaning had been completed. Upon arrival there was a cool bottle of wine, a bottle of milk, a bouquet of flowers and fudge. That gives a welcome feeling.The morning after our check-in, the owner contacted us to ask if we were missing anything in the house. Very hospitable.The cottage contains an extensive manual of the cottage, surroundings, shops, etc. And the necessary information leaflets of activities in which their guests may be interested.The house is fully equipped. The kitchen is complete and has an oven-microwave as well as a separate oven, an induction hob and kettle. There is a cafetiere, but we prefer a regular coffee maker. The kitchen is also equipped with a washing machine.The cottage was extremely clean. We quickly noticed that. Compliments to the owners. Rarely have we come across a rental house where everything was clean: bedding, sanitary facilities (including the edges where you would not easily clean), kitchen, pots, pans, cutlery, crockery and glassware.In the kitchen there is a round fold-out dining table. Handy to save space. We opened the table halfway. The only disadvantage are the dining table chairs. These are too basic. The dining table chairs are also wooden folding chairs, the seat of which slopes forward. That's not comfortable, so we didn't have dinner at the dining table.In the morning at breakfast, while cooking and while dining, you sit and watch the neighbor's sheep and lambs in the backyard of the cottage. How cute and fantastic is that?!We are both tall guys: 1.97 and 1.92 meters tall. The bed was too short and quite narrow for us. The latter takes some getting used to, as we are used to a wider bed. There was no annoying footboard, so we could let our feet stick out at the end of the bed.The heating is largely pre-programmed. That's no problem. However, we found it difficult to turn on the heating outside the set times when we wanted to turn it on. Or give it a boost. One time it was easy, a fluke? Other times it didn't seem to do anything. Maybe we're just not used to this system. This had no effect whatsoever on the heat of the shower.Being on holiday in Skye means taking a lot of photos and also wanting to share this on social media and with family/friends. This review is also written on site. The cottage's WiFi is extremely fast.Parking is available on the cottage groundsAnd finally, another great advantage of the cottage. The location and the view. The view over the bay, the sea, is incredibly beautiful. And then the sunsets, that is something that people will not quickly get used to.

This is our third visit and we cannot fault this beautiful cottage, immaculately clean, everything you could want in a holiday cottage and topped by epic views of loch bay. Easily walking distance of the best restaurant in Scotland and a fantastic pub. Boat trips from the harbour by divers eye boats are also a short walk away! You can not want for more at auld mission.Please ignore the ridiculous review on the cleanliness of the cottage, it is the cleanest holiday home we have ever stayed in. There are 2 dogs that would also recommend this house to stay!
