About this property

Lochsie Cottage, Peinmore House

"Lochsie"
This is well equipped, high end accommodation. A place for those who's time out and creature comforts are important to them.
The kitchen, dining area and living room are open plan, allowing a feeling of space where you can enjoy your complimentary bottle of wine. You are on holiday after all!
The large bathroom has both a bath and seperate shower. You will find a selection of toiletries by Aaran Aromatics, a local boutique company. Feel free to take the "minature" bottles home with you.
A kingsize bed awaits you in the relaxing bedroom, furnished with solid light oak drawers, bedside tables and wardrobe where you will find a toweling robe each.
But enough of the facts, we thought that we would let those who had stayed before you share their impressions:
" The decor was modern and reflected the location, it was so nice in comparisson to other cottages we had stayed in. I felt I was staying in someone's home."
"Well equipped and furnished beautifully"
"We spent everyday out while late walking and climbing but no matter how wet or windy it got, the knowledge we had a real home from home to come back to was a genuine comfort"
" A great base for exploring the island"
"My wife struggles to sleep in strange beds, but the mattress here was a delight and the bedding fantastically clean"
"The huge bathroom was fantastic and the shower really hot and powerful, essential after a long day"
We would be delighted to welcome you here.

Lochsie Cottage was just outside of Portree Isle of Skye. It was in a lovely farm like setting and was very cosy and inviting. We lovely and he spacious living and dining area and the bed was super comfy and warm. The owner Don and his son Ben were helpful and engaging. A great place to stay.

Idyllic gem and every comfort
Loved every minute of my stay here. Beautifully appointed. Great towels ( love big towels), incredible kitchen, spacious rooms, lovely garden areas. Loved the washing machine and the detergent pods. Appreciated the wine (but would have strangely preferred milk to make a cup of tea after a long drive… not a complaint, just an observation). Very helpful staff with immediate response to a query for wifi help. Just outside Portree in oeavefulnlocstion with stunning views, but only two minutes to the town. Was sad to leave.

Spacious and private cottage.
This was a fantastic location from which to visit Portree and travel around Skye. If you have a vehicle and don't mind a very brief drive into town, you can enjoy the quiet of the countryside during your stay. Well appointed and large living space in addition to bedroom and sizable bathroom with both tub and shower.

In need of renovations
Host never responded to messages sent though Vrbo app. The check-in instructions were incorrect so I had to email them directly. When we arrived there were high chairs in boxes sitting just inside the front door. There was black mould in the carpet at the back door and what looks to be mould in the left corner near the ceiling. The floor in the kitchen has sunken and the laminate is cracked. The heat had been off for a while so everything, including the bed sheets were damp and cold. The whole unit smelled musty so we had to run out and purchase air freshening sprays.

In serious need of renovation
The property looks like it might have been nice at one point but it’s in serious need of renovation. The kitchen floor has sunken and the laminate is cracked, there’s black mould in the carpet at the back door and the on the wall. The front door handle fell off as soon as we arrived. The heat had not been on in a while and everything, including the sheets were damp and cold. The whole cottage smelled musty and we had to run out and purchase air fresheners. The only good thing was the washing machine.

Lochsie Cottage is a great place to stay!
Lochsie Cottage Peinmore House is a great place to stay when visiting the Isle of Skye. It is under 2 miles from Portree and offers a great base to explore what the Isle has to offer. It is quiet and extremely comfortable and very private. The heating was perfect as the weather was quite cold and the bed was super comfortable. The kitchen and washer wash very good and handy too. Just perfect thank you Don.

nice stay - needs small updating
Nice property overall. Back door doesn't lock/secure properly. Overall nice property, however, property needs instructions for washer/dryer and heating system. Coming from a different company and trying to figure these things out was a little frustrating. There was a dog poo the size of Ben Nevis in front of door first 2 days. Someone finally removed it. Overall, as nice as a property you could get for location. Owner did communicate well when we needed help with washer/dryer, however, instructions on how to operate appliances would be more convenient. We would stay there again despite a small few frustrations. The back door not securing/locking needs to be looked at.

Grundsätzlich gut mit kleinen Problemen
Das Objekt war schön, gut ausgestattet und wunderbar gelegen. Allerdings hatten wir ein massives Ameisen-Problem. Meine Nachricht an die angegebene Tel.Nr. wurde nicht beantwortet, leider. Da wir nur 3 Tage dort waren, hat es uns nicht gestört. Davon abgesehen, hat das Objekt etwas muffig gerochen, was ggf. dem Alter geschuldet war aber der alte Teppich hat es nicht verbessert. Etwas unangenehm, gerade wenn wieder zuhause angekommen, alle Klamotten nach altem Haus muffen.
