A beautiful croft house, in a spectacular location.
The croft house was idyllic, beautifully renovated and decorated with all amenities one could want. It makes a perfect home from home and base for exploring the north of the island. The host obviously cares very much about her guests and this is reflected in the house itself.

A cozy and beautiful cottage, the host is very kind and the place around stunning. The neighbours are rabbits and sheeps, so this is a very quiet place, but you can go everywhere on the island so this is a perfect spot to stay.

We made a very last minute booking and this was one of the only properties still available, it’s a little remote, but it was a lovely retreat at the end of the day. Very quiet and cozy and the views are incredible. I would definitely stay here again.

Unique stay in remote Skye
Our family of 4 - with 2 kids ages 12 and 11 - really enjoyed staying here for 2 nights. The scenery was amazing and the cows, sheep and rabbits surrounding the house were entertaining. You definitely need to be comfortable driving some single track road though! Lorraine was great to communicate with and the house was spotless and very comfortable. Loved our stay!

Wow. What an amazing home. The scenery and views in all directions are superb. If you want to get away from the crowds and have some calm, peaceful moments, this is the place for you.

Cute Authentic Living at Isle of Skye
The house was a cute, updated original farmhouse on Isle of Skye. Great spot surrounded by pastures of sheep and cattle. Good location to see all the sites. It worked great for my parents and my husband and me.

Restorative stay
Our family enjoyed 2 nights on Skye which were a much needed rest during our trip exploring Scotland. The space was warm, clean and cozy. We played games watched movies and cooked meals. Generally just slowing down for a full day. It was lovely, thank you Lorraine.
