Its all about the name "The View"
The name says it all, what a view. The View is centrally located and allows you to see the other locations on the isle. The house is in an isolated area but the are two restaurants within a short distance. There is a grocery store within a 10 minute ride. Of the 6 different places we stated in Scotland over our 14 day trip, we loved this one the best.

Highlight Unterkunft für uns in Schottland! Sicher nicht günstig, aber jeden Cent Wert, wenn man mit der schönsten Aussicht entspannen will. Wir waren leider nur drei Tage hier, weil frühzeitig alles schon ausgebucht war. Tipp: Wir hätten hier gut 10 Tage verbringen können und von hier aus mit Tagestouren die Westküste erkunden können!!!! Alles top! Kommen 100%tig wieder!

Perfect location. Perfect accommodation.
The View was the perfect place to stay as it offered the perfect view! I As if that was not enough, the villa was very comfortable and welcoming with all amenities thought of and provided for. It was immaculate and well furnished. The ambience was so appealing, we almost didn’t feel like going for any sightseeing!

Perfect!
Just perfect! Stayed here as part of family road trip in scotland. I real home feeling. Words can describe how comfortable, enjoable and relaxing was our stay here. The only problem is that is so inviting its hard to go out and explore the rest of skye. Wish we had few more days here

The View
The house is exceptional in it’s design & position. The quality of the living space is 5 star and perfectly complimented by magical views across the waters and the mountains beyond. If there is a better house position on Skye I would love to know.

Magical place
This place is amazing. The views are breathtaking from every part of the property. It has everything you would ever need and they have thought of providing the smallest of things like the kindling to light the fire. It has to be one of the best properties on the island and we would definitely stay again and recommend to friends. We can’t fault it and didn’t want to leave. Thank you for the bottle of wine which we enjoyed relaxing and taking in the beautiful landscapes. We will be back again!!

First class accommodation
Well, what can we say about The View? There aren’t enough superlatives to describe it! The whole house is so beautifully done, with everything you could possibly need. The house is well named as the panoramic views from the massive windows are incredible. We were privileged to share this lovely place with ‘Martin’ the pine marten who lives nearby. If the property was a car it would be a Rolls Royce . Can’t wait to go back!

The View - What a relaxing place
Overview: Such a beautiful place. You can calm down and enjoy the View - or even better - your life. It is located a little bit off the track of the typical skye tourist routes, but everything on skye is still reachable and grocery shopping and petrol station is in the next town. House: it is really comfy and nicely decorated. The only issue I had were some real fur carpets which had collected quite an amount of lint and long dark hair when I tried to remove them. This is why we gave 4 stars instead of 5 for cleanliness. Might be normal, but I am not a fur expert and actually not a fan, but this is my taste and not everyone’s. The rest was very tidy and clean, just that you know. Bens Videos “how to use…” also are a great help. Special: we had an issue with the outside light and one of the martens broke the bird feeding station, and I had to contact Ben. He was organizing help immediately and was very friendly. So 100% thumbs up. Thanks a lot, Ben, you were the best host. Summary: we hope to be back at some stage. And decided to buy a house with sea view - somehow, somewhere at some stage ;)

idyllic setting; stunning view
The View is beautifully appointed and very comfortable. It makes for a wonderful getaway in the Isle of Skye. The Sleat Peninsula is a bit away from the most touristed parts of the island which makes it quieter in high season .

What a place!
The View is an absolutely gorgeous house- the view certainly being one of the most stunning vistas that Skye, and indeed Scotland, has to offer. The house is spacious yet cosy and our group loved that there was a large communal lounge as well as a separate TV lounge. We also loved that both bedrooms had en-suite bathrooms and that both couples had plenty of their own space as well. The house came with essentials like cooking oil and spices, which was handy, and plenty of wood for the fire. The tablet with the video clips on how to use the different appliances (as well as local recommendations) was really helpful as that can be quite confusing when using new appliances. The one slight thing I'd say was that we sent a non-urgent query through via booking.com and it was never answered. Otherwise, we had a brilliant stay and would love to come back!

Amazing
Had the most amazingly tranquil stay at The View. Location is breathtaking and the design of the property so that you take in the views from every single window was appreciated. Very clean, cosy and well stocked in the kitchen made this a home from home. Beautiful drives to all the walks that the Isle has to offer. Would definitely stay again.
