What a joy of a place to visit!
Staying at Aird cottage was a truly wonderful experience. There are views to the east the south and the west that change minute by minute, never mind day by day. The cottage self is a joy, comfortable and very well insulated. It is a really practical kitchen, if you like to do your own cooking, and an excellent utility room. The bedrooms are comfortable too but what really sad the cottage apart are the wonderful, wonderful views. There is plenty to do on Skye, whether walking, visiting historical sites, or enjoying some of the wide range of restaurants. However, even if your priority is simply resting, relaxing and enjoying the natural environment I think that you absolutely could not do better. Many thanks!

absolutely gorgeous property
I don't know where to start, and honestly I'm afraid to say how much we loved our stay at Aird Cottage, as it may not be available for when we hope to return some time in the future. The views are magnificent, the cottage was clean and comfortable, and we experienced great communication with Elma. Our stay at Aird Cottage was perfect in every way, and can't think of a better place to stay at, to enjoy the beauty of the Isle Of Skye.

Enchanting place
The cottage is extremely cozy with an enchanting and beautiful view no matter where you look. Peace and quietness is around, sheep and bunnies grazing at your door step. Super well located to explore the island and its trails. Thank you, Elma, for sharing this marvelous place with us!

Ein magischer Ort
Aird cottage liegt wunderschön ruhig an der Kilmaluag Bay inmitten von Schafweiden. Das Haus ist mit allen Annehmlichkeiten ausgestattet, vom Wintergarten kann man die traumhaften Sonnenaufgänge, die Berge des Quiraing und die Bucht beobachten. Alles war sehr sauber und gepflegt, die Küche ist mit neuen Geräten ausgestattet. Der separate Utility Roommit Waschmaschine, Trotz, Gefrierschrank etc.ist ebenfalls praktisch.

Fairy-tale cottage at the end of the world
Wonderfully located cottage offering amazing views of the sea and Quiraing. Enjoying morning coffee/tea at terrace/lobby looking at sunrise is wonderful experience. Elma (host) is very helpful - disclosing all information you may possible need. On the ground floor you will find fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with bath/shower and lovely living room with log burner + lobby and terrace. Upper floor offers 2 cosy bedrooms with very comfy beds perfectly suited for restful nights after long hikes.

Wunderbar
Wir verbrachten eine wunderschöne Woche im Aird Cottage. Es ist alles in der Unterkunft vorhanden, fehlt an nichts, sauber, ordentlich, man fühlt sich wie zu Hause. Der herrliche Ausblick, die ruhige Umgebung, super Wetter, Seerobben, Delphine ... einfach ein wunderschöner, unvergesslicher Urlaub. Vielen lieben Dank, wir werden oft an diese schöne Zeit zurück denken. Alles Gute für Elma und ihre Familie.

Wunderbares Cottage mit fantastischem Ausblick
Das Cottage ist sehr empfehlenswert! Der Blick über die Bucht ist unbezahlbar. Morgens wird man von den Schafen und dem Rufen der Möwen geweckt. Das Ferienhaus ist sehr sauber. Es fehlt an nichts. Der Kontakt mit den Eigentümern war sehr gut, alle Fragen wurden schnell beantwortet. Besonders haben wir die Wanderungen an der Küste genossen. Alle anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten der Insel muss man mit dem Auto besuchen. Aber auch die Fahrt durch diese abwechslungsreiche Landschaft ist Urlaub pur!

Stunning Location
We had a wonderful two week stay in Aird Cottage. The location couldn’t have been better with stunning views across the bay to the mountains in the distance. We were surrounded by wildlife and of course the sheep and rabbits. The cottage was everything we could have wished for, clean, tidy with everything we needed for our stay. The sun lounge was our favourite room, we spent many hours gazing out at the ever changing scenery. Perfect in every way. Thank you.

Beautiful Skye
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Aird cottage. The location was perfect for the sights around the Trotternish and the view from the cottage was delightful. The property was clean and well equipped and would definitely stay there again. It was a wonderful introduction room to a spectacular Island and I will be back!

Perfect!
After some trouble finding the cottage, which was admittedly 100% our own fault, we arrived in the dark. When we woke up the next morning we could not believe our eyes! Words nor pictures can accurately capture the beauty of the view, and our first morning on Skye we watched the sun rise together; wow! The cottage itself was also perfect, anything you could wish for was there, no detail spared, and if we ever visit Skye again we'll definitely return to Airde cottage.

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche und haben die Aussicht am Haus sehr genossen. Wir empfehlen nicht nachts bzw. im Dunkeln anzureisen, da es keine Beleuchtung auf der Insel gibt und das schöne Haus sehr abgelegen ist. Wir würden die Reise zu diesem Hais jedem empfehlen ♡

Lovely Cottage in Amazing Location
The cottage was lovely and we felt at home straight away. The kitchen was well equipped and having a separate living room and sun room was great. The sun room was fabulous and we spent a lot of time here watching the ever changing views of the mountains and the bay. There were some lovely walks directly from the house and we loved this part of the island. It is quite isolated but we loved that about it. Communication with Elma was excellent We’d love to return
