Cosy caravan in central location on the Isle of Skye.
Cosy caravan, overlooking Broadford Bay, centrally located on the Isle of Skye, just a short walk away from shops, bars and restaurants,the caravan has two double bedrooms and has tv, wi fi, central heating.
We knew it wasnât going to be a fancy place, but was pleasantly surprised to find more room than I imagined. Nice size living room with Tv and lots of DVDs to choose from. Were able to make food in the kitchen. Two separate bedrooms for us two couples. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Friendly host. We were pleased to find an affordable place on Skye when all else was booked.
The Caravan is in a good location, in an easy walk to town. Yes, it has a view of the driveway, as in the photos, but you can also see the bay and mountains beyond. The heating is excellent, the beds are comfy and we felt very good here. The kitchen is reasonably well-equiped and is a bonus, as there are few good restaurant options near by. (Do drive up to Pizza in the Skye near Portree; a truck but outstanding pizza). Ideal for two, perhaps four would be a bit of a squeeze. It is an old caravan, maybe 50 years, so it is definitely 'of it's time' as should be expected. James was a really good host; friendly and available if necessary. He helped us with an item left behind, which we really appreciated.
I have several complaints / suggestions for the owner of this caravan. Before we entered the caravan, we were greeted with very dirty mats, that and the side of the caravan could use a power wash.Once we entered the caravan, we were a bit overwhelmed with the smell of damp. To overcome that smell of 'damp', the owner opted to use one of those scented / aroma things that gets plugged into the mains. Horrible. The first thing I did upon entering, opened the windows to allow fresh air in and unplugged that aroma thing plugged into the mains.We were there for three nights and that odor never went away, it was always lingering in the air. If that wasn't bad enough, there was no coffee machine.The radiators could use a fresh coat of paint. This is an old caravan and was probably top of the line in the 1950s. There was plenty of room for our suitcases and we used the second bedroom to store them. The only good thing I can write, the location was excellent. This caravan has lots of potential but that smell of damp has to be removed, not covered up.
El alojamiento es tal cual como sale en las fotos y James responde con rapidez y amabilidad. Sin embargo, nuestra experiencia ha sido un poco decepcionante porque la primera mañana amanecimos con picaduras que pensĂĄbamos que eran de mosquitos, pero la segunda mañana, despues ya de dejar el alojamiento, seguĂan saliendo esas picaduras y nos hemos dado cuenta de que se trata de chinches. Por lo demĂĄs, el entorno es muy bonito y hay muchas tiendas y servicios cercanos.
