Great home away from home

We were traveling for several weeks around England and Scotland, and this was like a vacation on our vacation from the busy city. Great location on the isle (Portree, hiking, castles) and wonderful neighborhood atmosphere (quiet with cows and sheep across the fence). Wonderful kitchen amenities (full size fridge/freezer, pans, utensils - we cooked a family meal every day). Felt homey; we would definitely stay here again! The only downside is that with sunsets at 10:30pm (June), the smaller room with the skylight didn't have the dark shades of the larger rooms, which our 8 year old found challenging. The other minor surprise is that the tv is netflix capable but requires one's own account.

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt

Leider liefen bei Ankunft die Toilette und das Waschbecken nicht ab. Wir haben die Vermieterin kontaktiert und sie hat sofort einen Installateur organisiert, der den Schaden behoben hat. Ansonsten hatten wir eine sehr schöne Zeit in dem Haus.

Beautiful place and a lovely cottage

We had a fantastic week in this cottage, it is a situation in a perfect location for exploring Skye. The cottage was clean and well equipped and the hosts were excellent with their communication and extremely helpful when we needed to change our holiday dates, they accommodated us quickly and the whole booking process couldn't have been easier. A wonderful place for a family holiday.

Fabulous family cottage

We’ve had the most amazing week in hartaval. It’s such a beautiful cottage with lots of space and thoughtfully kitted out for a family. Great location close to Portree and Uig, easy to get to lots of things that you’ll want to do on Skye. Kitchen is very well stocked, high chair and cot were so great for our little one. You’ll need to bring a blackout blind if travelling with a baby though. Thanks so much for a great week!

Perfect get-away from it all

Cottage had everything we needed - once we got used to the downstairs bathroom (first up put the kettle on!). Location was perfect - far enough away to experience the peace, quiet and dark skies. But close enough to any amenities if needed. Communication was excellent. Only question is when to come back!
