Wow sea-view! walks, cliffs, wildlife - spacious contemporary home

Wow sea-view! walks, cliffs, wildlife - spacious contemporary home

10/10 Excellent
"Where to begin? Let's start with "beyond spectacular"...our first thoughts as we walked through the door. This is truly a little slice of magical paradise...rustic and refined at the same time. The property is very thoughtfully imagined, it seamlessly blends with the bounty of the nature within which it presides, unassuming yet perfect. I believe we were the first to book even before there were any reviews, however I just knew by the selection of photos and careful description that it was going to be special, and it was. Chris and Luisa are very gracious and super-attentive hosts, however what differentiates them from most, is that they also create an expectation from their guest to live up to the standard that is being offered. This is not common and we liked it. It's the differentiating factor from most vacation rentals, in that it makes it immediately feel like home. The attention to detail: the hand soap, the shortbread cookies, the locally roasted coffee, the chocolates, the luxurious white towels, the wood ready for a cozy fire, the high-end appliances, the soaker tub, comfy beds, floors clean enough that you feel like walking barefoot, the front-entry room which serves as excellent storage for your luggage/coats/boots etc, modern heating and climate control etc. But above all, the architectural design...every window lends itself to the beauty of Skye. We would surely return in a heartbeat!"

"The property is very comfortable and of a very high standard and the location is excellent. We enjoyed our stay with only one slight negative being the directions info (provided by hotels.com) was not accurate. I think we were missing some of the email message text. However, a call to the owner quickly resolved that and we had a lovely stay. Would highly recommend."

"This accommodation was excellent. It was ideally located for us, as we had a hit list of locations all over Lewis as well as on Harris. The cottage was clean, warm when required and had a well equipped kitchen. (How often do you see digital kitchen scales provided)! The beds were comfy, There was plenty of storage . And the house felt relaxing. Oh, and the view! The view from the back of the house was spectacular. I thoroughly recommend this accommodation."
