Spectacular
The cottage was everything I'd hoped for - it's spotless and so comfortable. The location is absolutely breathtaking. The cottage's sunroom was perfect for looking out over the incredible beauty of the area. I hope to return someday.

Speechless!
This cottage left my mum and I speechless! Okay maybe not speechless as I do have a TON of praise to give this amazing place. My mum flew in from the States and our main destination during her stay was Skye so I planned our accommodations early and boy am I glad I did! The cottage is nothing short of perfect. Actually I don’t think perfect quite conveys my feelings for it. It is possibly my new favorite place to stay in the world! To wake up to a sunrise over the bay, unobstructed, from my bedroom? Or to drink a cup of tea lounging in the sun room or patio taking in the scenery? Even the full moon with clear skies reflecting in the bay at night while drinking a glass of wine with my mum...it was simply the best way to start and end each day. To comment on the placement, it’s fantastic. You get the benefit of being remote enough for a relaxing, stress free environment while still being an easy drive to some of the most popular destinations: Quirang, Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock, Flora MacDonald’s grave, etc, but even Fairy Pools...one of the furthest away destinations from the northern tip of Skye was only maybe a 45 minute drive. Maaaaybe 50 since I drive slow when I get to pretty scenery. I’m not entirely sure as we stopped a lot to take pictures and hike in random areas. We were genuinely sad and reluctant to leave the cottage itself. Luckily, on our way out we were not only blessed to see a harbour seal in the bay near the cottage but also some neighbors in the fields that I had been trying to catch sight of the whole stay: a pair of handsome black highland cows! They practically posed near the fence when I took the picture. I will never forget this experience and I’ll be back! Next time with binoculars!

A Gem hidden in the Isle of Skye
We finished our two week stay in Scotland at Aird Cottage. We'd hoped for scenery, seclusion, and serenity. Wow, did we get that! The home was updated and retained the rustic character, not an easy combination.
