They also left torches in every room as a major storm was hitting that night, giving the possibility of power cut. House immaculately clean with everything we needed for a great holiday. Love this house.

Great base for touring this area of the Highlands and easy access to Skye. The cottage is well cared for with all you would need. A short drive into Kyle has Hector's Bothy and Fisherman's Kitchen for good food. The well stocked Spar is a short walk from the cottage so no worries about buying any provisions. A good place for a holiday. Janet & Ian
