Excellent views of the entire Glendale valley region. Relatively private as well, being down its own farm road. 10 minute walk to the ocean, 20 minute walk to the village. The cottage was lovely, and 2 wood fireplaces made it feel so cozy. Very well taken care of, and towels, cooking utensils, and kindling were provided. Would absolutely stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage on the Isle of Skye. It honestly felt like stepping into something out of Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights, which made the whole experience pretty special. One of the best parts was how remote it was. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. When the weather was nice, we loved sitting outside and watching the sheep grazing. And when it wasnât nice, it was just as enjoyable looking out the windows over the windy, rain-swept landscape.The cottage itself was very comfortable. The beds were great! I usually have back issues when I travel, but I had no problems here at all. I also really enjoyed curling up under the comforter with a book while the weather stormed outside. It was super cozy.Everything inside was nicely done, especially the wood floors and overall feel of the place. The heating worked well upstairs, and my husband was able to use the living room as a workspace and keep it warm with the space heater. The owner left cookies and Starbucks coffee for us, which was a nice touch. We donât drink coffee, but the cookies were definitely appreciated. Overall, we had a great stay. If we ever make it back to the Isle of Skye, weâd absolutely stay here again.
We loved the remote, tranquil location. Well positioned to visit Neist Lighthouse, Dunvegan, Skye Weavers and to enjoy an exceptional dinner at Three Chimneys. Cafe Lephin also is a very cool spot with a great playlist and makes for a nice mid-morning or afternoon spot for coffee, tea and scones. The general store is surprisingly well stocked! The house is nicely updated and the space was terrific for us traveling with our young adult son. Getting there: Don't follow Google maps, it brings you in on a road that runs up the hill well behind the house with no access. Beach Road isnt labeled but make the right turn ar Hararra Lodge and head up the hill. Hopefully the internet will be up and running for the next visitors.
