Really lovely cottage in a perfect setting.

The cottage was well equipped, clean, in a perfect location and with everything we required. The welcoming touches were much appreciated especially the milk in the fridge for a much needed cuppa.

The cottage was very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed the privacy of the area and beautiful views.

The fact that it is dedicated to Clan Donald or (MacDonald) which is my name and heritage. The quiet location and spectacular views as well as the castle, gardens and sheep roaming the hills.

Pure escapism, beautiful appointed cottage, very secluded.

Immaculate cottage with a good range of appliances, crockery and cutlery, home from home. Nestled in the forest, where you only hear the sheep and the birds. Free access to Armadale Castle and grounds.

Fantastic, relaxing stay for our Silver Wedding Anniversary.

The cottage is peaceful - isolated enough that you feel away from the world, but close enough to the village shop, pub, and routes to other places that you aren't really isolated at all. The cottage is also very well maintained, with everything you could need for a wonderful stay.

The cottage was extremely nice. It was cozy, clean and the perfect size for our 3 night stay on Skye. The full kitchen and washer/dryer were especially appreciated. The check in and check out process was super easy. I also appreciated the excellent WIFI.

Beautiful cottage tucked away in a park-like setting.

Clean and cozy cottage with great walks all around. The castle and grounds are beautiful, we were lucky to enjoy sunny weather. One note for visitors, the bathroom is on the ground floor and the bedrooms are upstairs.

A beautiful place but wished we knew ahead of time food would be difficult to come by.

We loved the cottage, the kitchen, sleeping areas and the lovely home feel. We were happy to have a washer and dryer as wel.

The cottage was cozy, clean and perfect for our stay on the Isle of Skye.

I loved the coziness of the cottage. The check-in process was super easy and the cottage had literally everything. The full kitchen and washer/dryer were appreciated. The small touches were very nice as well (like the hair dryer with diffuser attachment in one of the bedrooms). I also appreciated the excellent WiFi and access to streaming apps on the TV.

fabulous accommodations, beautiful location

We stayed at the Foresters Cottage. It was a quaint little cottage that exceeded our expectations. The rooms and beds were comfortable and the cottage was very clean.We were there in November 2024 and the weather was quite crisp and cold. The cottage was warm and cozy. This was out first stop on a tour of Scotland and it set the standard.

Very relaxed

The cottage is in a woodland setting and very quiet. Albeit, the blind in main bedroom didn't work.

Perfect setting. Cute little cottage and the extra touches make it just like home

The cottage has everything you need and the welcome pack was a great little touch. From booking to check out the process was uncomplicated and communication spot on. The cottage is a great base for exploring the Isle and the views along the roads from the cottage are spectacularly stunning. We were even lucky enough to spot the Aurora from garden! Definitely recommended, because who doesn’t want to stay in the grounds of a castle.

We were very happy with the accomodation at Foresters Cottage

The cottage was clean, well maintained and very homely. We especially liked the little extra things which had been done to make us feel welcome such as putting the lights on for our arrival, and providing us with enough provisions to be able to make a snack and a warm drink as soon as we arrived. Thank you!

A peaceful stay at Foresters cottage in a beautiful location.

So peaceful, just bird song and countryside surrounding a lovely cottage. We had complimentary wine, biscuits, tea, coffee and milk upon arrival, which was nice gesture. The accommodation itself was cosy and warm with everything needed to make us feel at home. As we were out of season, the castle grounds were not open, but this gives us a reason to return again one day to this stunning location on the Isle of Skye. Thank you Armadale castle for a wonderful and unforgettable stay.

A comfortable and attractive cottage

We enjoyed staying in the cottage and exploring the Castle Museum and paths. After booking the cottage we found out that Stables was no longer serving dinner. This was very inconvenient since we were coming by ferry on foot, with backpacks and roll-ons, and did not want to have to carry food and drink too un slopes quite daunting at our age (75...85).

Basic but good.

Nice place, absolutely fine base for touring the island. Good facilities, especially kitchen and wifi. The only downside for us was the shower, which was like warm at best and we could t increase this. We could have asked but it wasn’t a big enough deal.
