Quaint, Adorable, would live there if we could

This place was everything that engulfs Scotland. The layout was perfect for us, as 2 couples. It’s was so comfortable, the little stove was so cute and cozy. The drying rack was just awesome as well. Perfectly located for our travels around Skye. Instructions were well received once we got into the house… The only hiccup we had was lack of communication for the arrival. We had to wait and make a few phone calls from other sites to get a hold of the management team. But once I got someone, they were so helpful and informative and explained what happened. Our stay was amazing! Thank you

Cosy little cottage

Great location for seeing the highlights of Skye. Cosy little cottage, probably snug if 4 adults staying but was perfect for us as a 3. Loved the log burner

Old Post Office

Delightful and tastefully furnished cottage. Brief period of dog barking on our arrival day but none subsequently. Very peaceful and quiet. The tranquility is offset by a little bit of a drive to most destinations- although Portree is only about 10 minutes. Car a necessity.

Quiet Stay in Isle of Skye

We had a quiet and comfortable stay in the Post Office. It has a beautiful garden and picnic table in the back for a sunny summer day. Beds were comfortable and could easily accommodate two couples. Kitchen was accommodated with all appliances needed for a nice dinner or breakfast as well.. Not very close to the big town, but close enough to drive quickly.

Great wee cottage a ten minute drive from Portree. Good central location for gettibg to the various parts of the island. The house was very clean, lots of fuel and firewood provided for the log burner and very tastefully decorated. Very coorie !! We will definitely stay here again. NB a lot of comments about neighbours dog barking.... you would need batmanesque hearunf levels to be able to hear him once windows are closed. And its a dog....its what they do folks.

Cozy and clean.

The old post office was a lovely property. We enjoyed the small hobbit fireplace. It made our stay so cozy. Kitchen was modern and clean. Bathroom clean and well appointed. Would like to see a hand towel hanger near sink...never see this in Scotland. Would be nice to supply facecloths if required for North American visitors. Travelling with 2 couples ...one room has single beds which was not bad but mattress was not comfortable. Linens were white and clean. Had washer & clothes line which was perfect but no clothespins to hang clothes. Purchased some at local store. Ben was very friendly & helpful to deal with.
