Fantastic!
The house was very roomy and comfortable and had all the amenities we could ask for. It had more than enough room for our family of 5 and great views. Would love to have stayed here much longer than 2 nights.

We enjoyed our two night stay here! Walking distance to Talisker distillery, close drive to Fairy Pools. We used it as a base to see other sights on Skye - Quaraing, Kilt Rock and Falls, Old Man of Storr and Portree. The cottage was spacious and comfortable for our group of 5. Lovely views from the cottage as well!

Beautiful view
The house is just fine, not great, but just fine. O wasn't a fan of what looks like black mold in the laundry/fridge room.

Carbost Getaway
Lovely, cozy 3 bedrrom home perched high above Carbost and the Talisker Distillery. Had views of the Loch and mountain landscape. We walked to and from the distillery, allow a good 30 minutes each way. Also loved the home's sunroom with view of pasture and sheep. Well equipped with everything you need for cooking. Be prepared with groceries although tiny store near distillery, not sure of hours. Cute inn and pub. Make reservations for tours and dinner. Fantastic!

the house was very large
this house is not too far off the beaten path and is large and the beds comfortable. Bathroom is a bit dated and the grounds need some up keeping as the grass was very long also the small retaining wall needs some power washing. Mostly the grounds that need to be attended too.

Stay on Skye
House was very well priced and the accommodation albeit a little tired possibly reflected this. Location for us good. No check out instructions. Would recommend

Magical
Wow. Skye is magical and I'm glad we stayed two nights in this house. The view from the windows of the loch and surrounding countryside is unbeatable. So many stars at night. Amazing silence. Friendly neighbors down the street let us feed their sheep. The home was our comfortable base for exploring the Quiraing Road, Mealt Falls/Kilt Rock, Old Man Storr, Portree, and the Fairy Pools. Got up for the sunrise our last morning. Didn't want to leave! Thank you!

Very nice house
Everything was nice, the house outside looks a bit old, and the heating did not work. Rest was pretty good.
