Great place with a million $$$ view.
Absolutely loved the place, the views were amazing. The drive to the place is little off road, but the management team gave me perfect directions. The check in was a breeze. House was neat and clean and very spacious and comfortable. We had a great experience.

Wonderful accommodations with stunning views
The location and views were absolutely amazing. It was so nice to come back to the property after a day of exploring the island, and take in the incredible sunsets and views of the stars. The house was spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed. Although we couldn’t get the oven to work upon arriving late the first night, the host was super quick to respond to try to assist us. Nothing but good things to say. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Tolles Haus in wunderschöner Lage
Tolles Haus im Norden von Skye. Das Haus liegt wunderbar am Meer. Super Lage zum Erkunden der Insel Skye. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und es fehlte an nichts. Vor allem die Küche und der Wohnbereich mit dem grossen Esstisch sind der Hammer. Wir würden sofort wieder buchen.

Spectacular - Just as advertised!
Tigh Bata was an amazing gem. It was spacious on the inside with awesome views outside. The home was well equipped with toiletries and everything.needed for meals for our large family. Access was easy and appreciated given the remote location. And the staff was friendly and attentive. 5 Stars in every respect!

Amazing house with a spectacular view! This is a real treasure of a rental. The house is large, comfortable, clean, and well stocked. We immensely enjoyed our stay. Our only regret is that we should have stayed here more than two nights!!

Stunning Location
Skye itself is an amazing place to visit and Tigh Bata has a wonderful spot north of Waternish. The house is a great design and has lovely views all the way from East to West through South, especially from the open plan living area and the main bedroom. The furniture is good, it has a big, well-equipped kitchen and with 6 adults we appreciated the 3 bathrooms. The property is getting a little worn around the edges - I suspect it was renovated at least 8-10 years ago - so there's the odd place where lights or flooring or doors will need a bit of attention before long. It could do with some suitable blinds or similar for the large triangular windows in the peaks of the bedrooms, unless you're good at sleeping with lots of light (both late in the evening and early in the morning this far north!) But I wholeheartedly recommend it as a beautiful place to stay.

Skye Wedding!
We chose this VRBO to stay for a few days while attending a wedding in Skye. Wish it was a few weeks! Great remote oceanside location with the highland coo's next door. Yurteancoffee close by and a quick trip to Dunvegan for restaurants.

Gorgeous views
Wow, what an amazing time for our family of two adults and two children! Being at the end of the earth with the wind and the sea, farms and cows to the side- it was just such a beautiful experience that words can't express it. We spent part of the time out exploring the hikes and Portree and part of the time just staying in playing board games and enjoying the house. We would love to return should we visit Scotland again.

Unique Property on Skye
A very comfortable property in a special remote location on Skye with stunning views. Not as private as expected - Despite being on the coast with what felt initially like a private area with no other properties needing access, we had visitors using the remote area for water sports. This proves a theory that there is no escape from other human beings!

Spectacular Location
This is a great place to spend some time getting together with your family and away from the rat race. The views nd location are second to none if you like water, cliffs, and sunsets. The inside is really great and get ready to draw straws for the master bedroom as the view is incredible Book it!

Beautiful and quiet location
Tigh Bata was the perfect place to wind down after a long week of traveling through Scotland! The views were unbelievable and beds were very comfortable. Great space for 3 couples. If we ever make it back to Skye, we will certainly stay here again!
