Property with fantastic views

The views from the property are as advertised and were much appreciated and admired for hours. All of the bedrooms benefit from this which is great. Property feels cosy and generally is in good condition. The road to the property (which AI advises as an issue) is not an issue at all as there are frequent passing places and the road is generally not busy. The village of Stein has a great Stein Inn which we went to and also a Michelin star restaurant which we did not go to. It is close to Dunvegan which has a great castle and which operates a boat trip to view seals which was one of the highlights of our trip. We had a few issues with the state of the kitchen when we arrived but we could see a lot of effort was made to make the property welcoming. Note the property is exposed to the winds which we found quite romantic but this did mean the windows whistled quite loudly at night in the master bedroom.

Beautiful Home with Stunning Views!

We were so pleased with this home. It is stunning with the views and it is very clean and well layed out. We loved the location where you are within a 30 min drive from all we wanted to see. A BIG HUGE BONUS is the large WASHER and a DRYER in the property! It made washing clothes so easy with us traveling throughout the country. We will definitely choose this place again when we are back in Skye.

Comfortable stay in a great location

The property was as described. It was spotlessly clean on arrival and well prepared for us. The location was amazing and provided a quiet but accessible spot from which to tour the island.
