Guests say
Tigh na Creag is consistently praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and high-quality facilities. Guests appreciate the warm welcome from the owners and the cottage's central location for exploring Skye. The stunning views and thoughtful touches, such as shortbread biscuits, contribute to an exceptional stay.
Reviewers frequently mention the cottage's superb cleanliness, with several guests highlighting it as the cleanest they've experienced. The attention to detail in maintaining hygiene standards is evident.
The central location is ideal for exploring Skye, with easy access to both the north and south of the island. While some guests noted the proximity to the main road, the views and convenience outweigh this minor point.
Guests describe the cottage as cosy, warm, and spacious, with luxurious bathrooms and comfortable bedding. The presence of underfloor heating and a drying rack for clothes adds to the comfort.
The cottage is well-equipped with modern lighting, ample storage, and a full kitchen. Facilities are maintained to a high standard, though a mention of a boiler noise affecting sleep suggests a slight deduction.
The owners' thoughtfulness is noted through welcoming gestures such as shortbread biscuits. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and not all reviews mention them, the score reflects this.
