Lovely time in this sweet little house. Extremely clean and cosy with a nice burner. the garden was a little smaller than we had imagined but absolutely fine to sit around and admire the beautiful view and peaceful surroundings. We met the local shepherd and had lovely walks around. It was really a fantastic place to stay on the island away from the crowds.

I can't even begin to describe how perfect our Croft house truly was. The peace and quite, the beauty. The baby lambs being born. If you are looking for a true getaway without all the noises and rush of city life, I highly recommend this quaint little Croft house. Lorraine took care of us and made sure we felt at home. The Isle of Skye and Scotland will always have our hearts!

About the host

Hosted by Lorraine Harlow

Host profile image
I have lived permanently on the Isle of Skye for 11 years after retiring early from being a Forest School leader and working with children with special needs.
I first visited Skye 28 years ago and lost my heart to this stunning island. My passion is being out in the landscape but in particular walking in the mountains on Skye and all over Scotland and the islands, travelling around in my Campervan.

Why they chose this property

Willie McLeods House is located in a very quite, open, rural position with uninterrupted views to the Quiraing on the Trottenish Ridge and the towering mountains along the West Coast of mainland Scotland.
The property has recently undergone a complete upgrade, inside and out and caters for your every need after a day out walking or sightseeing.

What makes this property unique

Very quite location, walks from the front door, uninterrupted views, in full view of the most amazing Hebredian sunrises.
