The view was unbelievable. The house was charming. There were only 2 of us so the space worked well. More than 4 and the space might be a bit tight unless you are a light packer. Only 1 dresser and pegs for hanging though they fit a lot of clothes. We were in Europe for 6 weeks so we had more than most people. Great location for trips to Skye and many other locations. We would go back again in a heartbeat.

I can’t say enough good things about the shed die. It’s just what we needed for our last stop in Scotland. It was so peaceful and the views are amazing. We used the sauna, copper tub and took a little cold plunge in the sea. The interior design is beautiful, cozy and comfortable. Enjoyed all the thoughtful amenities. All the coffee table books with interesting information about the area, arts and lifestyle. A little dram available if needed. Comfy robes and comfortable beds. Great location for a day trip around Skye. Thank you!
