Nicke and cosy
We stayed for 5 nights in this House and enjoyed every minute. You can See the Sea from the Livingstones and the beds were comfortable. The House was clean and the only thing We missen were some shelves. If We ever go back to Skye, we will stay here again.

Hervorragendes Cottage
Die Cottages liegen direkt in Staffin Bay mit einem herrlichen Ausblick aufs Meer.
In Staffin befindet sich ein kleiner Tante Emma Laden, wo man alles nötige bekommt. Die fahrt nach Portree dauert ca 15-20 min.
Für uns war die Lage idealer Ausgangspunkt zu den zahlreichen Trekking Strecken.
Quiraing, OIld Man of Storr, Kilt Rock sind direkt in der Nähe
Wir kommen bestimmt wieder

Excellent
We travelled 9 hours by car and were little bit worried about our accommodation - in cottage on "the end of the island". But instructions from agency were correct, everything was prepared for us and was perfectly OK. Cottage is very modern inside and well equipped. We spent there 10 days of our happy holiday. There are 2 bedrooms, living room and kitchen with everything we needed and everything was working. Only one thing didn't work, and it was our mobile phone, what was great.
Thank you for excellent service.
After all, the place wasn't so abandoned as we thought. Because of dinosaurs footprints on Staffin beach, sometimes there was even traffic jam.

Comfy, cosy cottage
Lovely modern cottage with a view over the bay. There was no freezer or a cupboard for food storage which was a downside. Luckily we had not purchased any frozen food before arriving. Oven and hob controls were worn away so difficult to initially work out how to operate it. Apart from these issues,, furnishings and equipment was good quality. Would love to back though.

Great pad from which to launch your Skye adventures
Travelling in a group of 4 adults and 1 baby and staying for 3 nights, this cottage was a great base for our extended weekend on Skye. Really well located for some of the islands highlights, it also offers up beautiful views across Staffin Bay and up to the Quiraing. We had a few issues with the oven but other than that, we'd definitely recommend it as a low-luxury place to stay in this great corner of Skye.

Schöne Wohnung mit Meerblick
Die Wohnung (2 Schlafzimmer, Wohnzimmer, Küche, Bad mit Badewanne) mit fantastischem Meerblick liegt in Staffin Bay gegenüber von Staffin Island, sehr nah am steinigen Strand.
Die Räume sind sauber und gepflegt.
Die Wohnung ist gemütlich, zweckmäßig (Wasserkocher, Backofen, Mikrowelle, Waschmaschine, genügend saubere Handtücher, Kühlschrank, TV - keine deutschen Sender) und schön eingerichtet.
Die Lage ist ideal für Ausflüge zum Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock, Mealt Falls, Flodigarry, Duntulm Castle oder nach Uig (Autofähre) und für Wanderungen auf dem Quiraing.
Den Quiraing kann man auch mit dem Auto umrunden.
Am ersten Abend haben wir in der Bucht Delphine gesehen.
Was für eine wunderbare Begrüßung!
Wir verbrachten 6 wundervolle sonnige, warme Tage auf Skye.
Die Wohnung würde ich jedem empfehlen, der auf unnötigen Luxus gerne verzichtet.
Minuspunkte:
- kein WLAN (5 Tage kann man ohne Internet aushalten)
- zerkratzte Teflonpfanne
ACHTUNG!
Die Wohnung ist weiß-blau bemalt und nicht weiß-rot wie abgebildet.

Comfortable cottage with lovely views
We stayed here for 5 days and really enjoyed our stay. There is a key safe of which you will get the code to let yourself in. The cottage is a decent size for 4 people. There is a microwave, toaster, kettle, oven, 4 hobs, washing machine and fridge in the kitchen with plenty of plates, cutlery etc. There also was a hairdryer, hoover,drying rack and iron/Ironing board which we did not use but it's handy to know:) Lovely views from the cottage, also all the sheep around the cottage with their wee lambs. Comfortable beds and plenty of storage space unless you stay a month. There is a folder with information/maps of things in the area which can be quite handy as well. We enjoyed our stay here.
