Bernisdale stay

The Croft house is comfortable, well equipped, and not far to Portree for provisions. Flora is a friendly host who is concerned for your every need. Nearby is the beautiful Skeabost hotel with fine dining if you wish to eat out but not drive far or have to battle for parking in Portree. Recommended is the climb to the Old Man of Storr, but only if you are fit and your knees are up for it. The drive to Eigol will take you through some remote countryside with spectacular views of the Cuillins on the return journey.

Beautiful Cottage

Loved this property the minute we walked in the door. Beautifully renovated and furnished. Lovely surprise with a welcome basket. I am travelling with my daughter and 4 grandchildren and all said this is the best place we have stayed in. Host Flora was very helpful and welcoming. I was in downstairs bedroom which was large with very comfortable bed. Would recommend a stay here

Gorgeous cottage in a perfect location!

We absolutely loved our 10 days in Flora's amazing cottage. Check in was simple and hassie free. It was very clean on arrival and was really well equipped with everything you could need for cooking meals. All appliances worked well and were very easy to operate. Very comfy beds, fluffy towels and the shower is amazing! We were quite unlucky with the weather and needed to dry out wet coats and boots frequently so the log burner and clothes airer came in very handy. The cottage is situated in a perfect location to explore all of Skye. We were very sad to leave and we're definitely planning on coming back again one day.

Very nice croft house, in just the right location

The origins of this property are humble, and the outside appearance is too, but inside we found everything we needed and more. Nothing fancy, but clean and with good attention to detail, ranging from the comfy living room to 3 bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. Adequate heating from the wood burner or the electric radiators. Some nice art on the wall of local sights. TV with lots of channels albeit a bit blurry. But excellent wifi/internet on top of that. From the vrbo listing it might be difficult to judge the layout and when arriving you'll find the property is free-standing but slightly built amongst a group of houses/sheds/hedges that limit the views you might expect somehow. However, the side window in the kitchen allows a glimpse of the bay/loch around the back and there's some slopes to be seen when sitting out front on the bench or when looking back from the couch. For us, it was not a problem, since this house is also an excellent place to start your discovery of Skye: it is so well placed along roads leading to any of the known and less-known destinations. Portree is great for shopping and has a lovely port and circular walk along the coast of the loch and woods. Every hotspot is reachable within 30-60 minutes, which seems like a selling point to me! What mattered most to us was the inside of the house, which was very good, and the contact with the owner, Flora. She was very friendly and quick to answer our few questions. Really enjoyed it! Very recommendable.

Lovely cottage in very quiet, peaceful location but ideally situated for exploring Skye

Cottage has everything you need. Very comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen and best shower ever! Location nice and quiet even though you're just off the main road. Centrally located should you wish to go North, East, South or West. Thoroughly recommend. Host very helpful suggesting itineraries and places to eat.

Peaceful

A beautiful cottage in a quiet area, spotlessly clean with all you would need for a perfect holiday. 3 good sized bedrooms, 2 double and a single ,lounge area and kitchen. A log fire with a substantial supply of logs. I would highly recommend this cottage as it is ideally placed to visit any part of the island.

The house is quite nice and very clean. Plenty of space.

The property was difficult for us to find it sets back a bit. We ended up at a neighbors and he kindly gave us directions. We were only 2 houses away. I would highly recommend this place.

Wunderschönes Cottage auf Skye

Wir haben eine wunderbare Woche in diesem Cottage verbracht. Es liegt ca 8 Meilen von Portree entfernt und ist absolut ruhig gelegen. Es hat einen hübschen Garten mit einem kleinen Teich (hier sollte man aufpassen, wenn man kleine Kinder hat). Das Cottage selbst ist innen geräumiger, als es von außen aussieht und war für uns vier groß genug. Es ist makellos sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Bad ist ganz neu renoviert. In der Küche ist alles Notwendige vorhanden, vielleicht mit Ausnahme von Teelöffeln. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war hervorragend und sehr freundlich. Bei unserer Ankunft fanden wir sogar eine Flasche Prosecco. Wir würden wieder kommen.

Idyllic Croft

The croft is beautiful and the surrounding area is quiet and beautiful, there is a lovely Honesty box close by for treats and fresh eggs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay the croft has all the amenities you could possibly want and Portree is a 10-15 minute drive where there is a large co-op. We will definitely be visiting again.

Wundervolles Haus 😍

Wir haben es sehr genossen hier zu sein und werden auch wieder kommen. Das Haus ist super gepflegt und sauber. Die Küche ist auch sehr schön und gut ausgestattet. Die Gastgeberin ist mega freundlich und lieb. Die Lage ist auch extrem gut. Von hier kommt man eigentlich an die meisten Orte gut hin. Ich kann tatsächlich nichts negatives finden. In dem Haus gibt es E-Heizungen wenn es mal kalt ist. Wenn es aber sehr kalt draußen wird, reichen die nicht unbedingt. Aber man gewöhnt sich dran ;)

Perfect getaway location

The location itself is great as you are on the coast within minutes of walking from there. Beds were super comfortable, all rooms were very clean, wifi connection was very good and the kitchen had all the utensils required to cook and dine as well as additionals (like sugar and tea). Communication with the owner via whatsap was remarkably easy and ai’ve already discussed coming back next year. Struggling to come up with a negative. — oh actually yes, the weather wasnt great on a couple of the days but thats not the owners fault at all :)
