Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Off road parking for 2 cars. One well-behaved dog welcome. Sorry, no smoking. Hotel with restaurant 5 mins walk (seasonal, check opening times, booking essential).

Region: From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain's best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.
Town: Set on the north-west of the famous Isle of Skye, the village of Dunvegan is a quirky mixture of traditional stone dwellings and modern houses. With a wide selection of shops and hotels, Dunvegan is only a mile from the thirteenth century castle home of the Clan Macleod â who are said to have had dealings with the "wee folk" at the Fairy Bridge. Also in the area - with fantastic rock forms and pinnacles - are the Cuillin Mountains, which many climbers consider some of the best in the country. The Aros Centre provides a wide variety of concerts, theatre and cinema throughout the year and is well worth a visit, whilst Portree, the island's only town boasts and excellent range of shops, restaurants and hotels, as well as a picturesque natural harbour.
Ich habe noch niemals so eine katastrophale Unterkunft wie diese erlebt! Die Bilder entsprechen absolut nicht dem, was man vorfindet.
Angefangen bei der Anreise. Die Zufahrt mit doch mehreren hundert Metern ist in einem so schlechteren Zustand, dass man ständig Schlaglöchern ausweichen muss. Was noch dazu ziemlich schwierig wird, wenn diese Gleichzeit rechts und links auf der Strasse auftauchen. Bei Regen sind diese riesigen Krater dann leider auch nicht zu sehen und man riskiert hier eine massive Beschädigung des Wagens.
Sauberkeit steht bei dieser Unterkunft nicht an erster Stelle!!! Mal abgesehen von dem unschönen Geruch, es roch nach nassem Hund, sind noch genug Haare von den vorherigen Besuchern übrig geblieben… Geschirr und Besteck wollte man am liebsten gar nicht anfassen.
Fazit: Auch wenn es malerisch gelegen ist, das „Bootshaus“ ist ein Horror für Gäste, die Sauberkeit und Gepflegtheit mögen. Und bei diesem Preis, sollte man davon ausgehen, dass dies garantiert wird!
---------------------------------------------------------------
I have never experienced such a catastrophic accommodation like this! The pictures absolutely do not correspond to what you find. Starting with the arrival. The access road with several hundred meters is in such a worse condition that you have to constantly avoid potholes. Which also becomes quite difficult when they appear on the street on the right and left at the same time. In the rain, these huge craters are unfortunately not visible and you risk massive damage to the car. Cleanliness is not the first priority of this accommodation!!! Apart from the unsightly smell, it smelled like a wet dog, there is still enough hair left from the previous visitors... you didn't want to touch dishes and cutlery at all. Conclusion: Even if it is picturesquely located, the "boathouse" is a horror for guests who like cleanliness and cleanliness. And at this price, you should assume that this is guaranteed!

Mouldy, visibly damp and smelly, such that it made me ill and I left early. Best avoided!
The property was visibly mouldy, with damp patches and smelly to the extent that it made me feel chesty, despite not having any pre-existing respiratory problems, so definitely avoid this if you have asthma, or just prefer not to smell like you have been kept in the loft for a year! It was so bad that I left half way through the week and returned home. A complete waste of my time and money, especially as it was a 26 hour round trip by car. When I complained to Sykes Cottages (prior to leaving) they were incredibly unhelpful and told me that I should just leave and go home if I was not satisfied. They refused to send anyone to look at the issues, refused to offer alternative accommodation and refused compensation. Completely useless customer service and I would never, ever book with them again.

May differ from expectations
Contrary to the description of a rural retreat, whilst remote, the property is adjacent to a slipway and active boat yard belonging to the fish farm, so there are tractors and cars arriving in the mornings seven days a week and fish food crates create a background smell.
The cottage does have good views of the Loch and whilst a little tired we very much enjoyed watching the seals and were lucky enough to see an otter in front of the Boathouse. The surrounding landscape is fabulous and we enjoyed our stay.
We asked before we went if there was a baking tray as we brought a leg of lamb to cook and there were no trays which would fit in the oven. There were other niggles but we always travel with supplies and nothing was insurmountable.
If you are out and about each day, it may be ideal, the stove made it cosy and there was plenty of wood and coal supplied.
