From our arrival through to our departure, The Birdhouse surpassed our expectations. It's beautifully designed and it's in an amazing location. Kristen and Gregor are perfect hosts, super friendly and helpful. There are lots of stunning walks and scenery to explore in Applecross Bay. I highly recommend a stay and hope to return to The Birdhouse one day.
This delightful cottage made the perfect base for exploring the Isle of Skye, with it being just 20 minutes from the Skye Bridge. It is situated on the shores of Loch Long and very peaceful without being too isolated. The view from the kitchen and lounge over the loch to mountain beyond alone made this one of my most memorable trips.
Three of us stayed with our dog who all enjoyed the nearby walk and closeness to Skye and exploring the western coast. The house was next to the owners who were helpful and available. It was clean and comfortable and we had a lovely stay.
Very well organised property, everything you might need - doesn't feel like holiday home. Honestly, couldn't find anything wrong in property, even mentioned water supply from spring is hard to notice (water seems to well filtered as havent noticed any odd taste). Please, note that pictures of living room and kitchen are not up to date - now looks much better). Property location next to road isn't problem - building layout makes almost immposible to notice any road noise. In my opinion location is bonus - easy to find, easy to park - for someone who use a car for travel around is ideal spot. Definitely would recommend - very nice place to stay and ,in my opinion, perfect location to explore around.
