The best part of the best part.
My wife and I spent 3 nights at Hugh's Highland Hideaway as the centerpiece of our 12 day Scotland vacation. What rare a special place. The cottage is surrounded my meadows and grazing sheep set againast beautiful green mountain slopes behind. Inside it's very well kept and clean with updated heaters, bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen was especially impressive with everything we needed to cook our meals every morning and evening. Very close to Storr and The Quiraing we hiked both and made it back in time to clean up, eat and watch the sunsets. Romantic neautiful peaceful and relaxing.

Lovely stay!
We loved staying at Hughes Hideaway. Our favorite part was that there were little lambs/ sheep in the pasture next to the house for part of our stay. It also had really nice Mountain View’s as well as a little peekaboo sea view. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. It was away from the busyness, it was just a really charming spot to stay. We would definitely come back again.

Enchanted Cottage
We absolutely loved our visit to this lovely cottage. There was nothing lacking in terms of our comfort. All of the amenities were in place and it was so easy to become comfortable very quickly. The sheep on the property were simply darling and it was so fun to watch the lambs play, jump and run (within their fenced area) over our meals from the dining room. Plus, since we forgot a couple of items we drove to the local store, which is not far. This store was well stocked, so we didn't have to drive very far at all. We met the caretakers Lindsay and Ian and they were so friendly; respectful of our privacy; polite and professional. They were kind enough to answer all of my questions about the sheep and the local culture. This was a memorable stay that we will not forget. Thank you so much.

Wonderful!
Hugh's house was so homey and comfortable! AMAZING views all around, sheep to watch out back. While remote, it's close to many famous trails and a cafe nearby. While unmarked and a white car sits next to (we thought someone was in it), pay attention to the pics and map. We went mid-May and us visitors were already picking up. Parking was scarce at the hiking trails, the narrow roads were getting too loaded with cars to navigate taking turns getting through. Reservations at the cafe are a necessity, and there was NO parking avail in Portree, except at the CO-OP grocery store.

We had an amazing stay! Our only suggestion is to mark the driveway a little better. We arrived late at night in the fog and had difficulty finding the house. Thank you Hugh for a wonderful stay!

Charming, Peaceful Cottage in a Dramatic Setting
Staying here was truly the highlight of our time on Isle of Skye. Our favorites: The peaceful quiet, the darling lambs running in the field in front of our cottage, the golden light as dusk fell over the land and sea, watching bats zip by, eating breakfast outside, hiking the Quairaing, lying on Staffin beach-both 10 minutes away-and relaxing. Hugh’s cottage is clean, fully equipped, warm and cozy. Comfortable beds. We will definitely come again.

Best VRBO experience ever?
Actually, probably the best away-from-home experience we’ve had in a long time! Hugh’s cottage was absolutely beautiful, cozy, and welcoming, and was away from the hubbub of Portree while also close enough to enjoy what that town had to offer. We did some wonderful hikes in the area and explored nearby attractions, and always looked forward to returning to the cottage. Our daughter loved all the nearby animals and walking around the area. Hugh and the caretaker, Lindsey, were extremely responsive and helpful with any questions we had, or if any minor issues popped up. It was a fantastic stay and we would happily return if ever back in the area.

Surpassed a Five Star Rating
From the moment we began our conversation with our host, Hugh, we had a very good feeling about his special place, Hugh's Hideaway in the Staffin Hills. The large cottage was pristine, very well appointed and extremely comfortable. We arrived to a welcoming fire and delight upon seeing the beautifully furnished interior. A well stocked kitchen with everything a guest needs for self catering. And the location......... In the middle of a vast field bordering the Trotternish Peninsula. If you are visiting Skye, here is a place to call home!

Absolutely charming cottage
First day at Hughes , Highland hideaway was absolutely amazing! I can’t tell you how happy I am that we avoided poor tree and went more inland to stay in a quieter area with so much natural beauty it was mind blowing. The cottage is perfectly kept and cozy, and so welcoming. The area of the island is absolutely so beautiful and as a bonus, we had the most gorgeous, full moon rising on our last night. Highly recommend this stay. Hope to come again sometime.

Exceptionally provisioned looking after every detail. Away from the tourist inundated areas but amazingly handy to the most sought after sites.. if you want to leave the croft! Lindsey, the caretaker. wss a wealth of local history, and a gracious Gaelic host if you are fortunate enough to meet him.
