  Burnside cottage was amazing .

  ...from location to accommodation 10/10. We were met by the owners mother who showed us around the cottage , explained heating etc and reassured us they were only a phone call away if we needed assistance , which we didn't but felt safe in the knowledge they were there to help. The cottage faces full on to the loch with a huge set of picture windows in the huge open plan living area, with 5 leather recliners and foot stools to sit in and admire the view ...pick a seat , pick a window and just relax and take it all in !! The cottage sleeps 5 and we were only 2 so it was huge , there is an ensuite with the double room and a large family bathroom with a bath which was fully utilised after walking every day . The kitchen is fully stocked with everything u can think of ... there's even a slow cooker if you want to put a stew on before u go out for the day !! Everything is very clean and well appointed . Under floor heating ensures the cottage is always the perfect temperature. Full laundry facilities also . All in all feel lucky to have gotten a last minute booking as you can see its almost fully booked through the seasons . We will definitely stay again given the opportunity . As an aside this location feels perfect for exploring the whole island as its more or less in the middle . There's also a large well stocked co-OP 7 miles away in Portree for every provision.

  Burnside Cottage on the Isle of Skye was amazing.

  The position with views over the Loch from the fabulous panorama window in the lounge were stunning. The gardens were well stocked & looked after. James, the owner, had thought every little detail to make our stay comfortable & enjoyable. The fixtures & fittings & furniture were top quality, & it was like home from home! There were so many little additions which you do not usually get in rented accommodation, e.g. herbs, ice packs & a fitted picnic cool bag, umbrella, games, videos, t.v.'s in each bedroom, toiletries etc.etc. plus a box of fudge & roses!! I defy anyone to have a complaint & would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone. Well done James ( with the help of mum & dad!!)

  Riverside Cottage is an absolutely delightful home from home.

  Beautifully located with tremendous views across the loch and an ideal base to explore this wonderful part of Skye. Remote yet only 10 minutes from the excellent Coop and all the facilities of Portree. The cottage is very modern, extremely comfortable, well laid out with a magnificent kitchen diner that flows through to a spacious lounge with log fire and further sitting area with windows on 3 sides to relax and enjoy the views. It has all the appliances, kitchen and dining facilities you could ever wish for, all of top quality. The owner lives nearby and is quickly available if needed and very caring. This was our second of we hope many future visits.

  The cottage was very modern, extremely well presented throughout and immaculate inside.

  The little touches and provisions were a most welcome asset as the rural setting does mean a car journey of a few miles to the local shop. There was nothing we lacked and the cottage is fitted out to a very high standard. It was in a beautiful setting and we were treated to a glorious sunset and the most amazing views of the stars and the Milky Way. The island has many beautiful places to visit, small bays and dramatic views, we were blessed with good weather and we had a lovely base from which to explore. The locals were very friendly and helpful and Portree was a cute little harbour town. We would not hesitate to book Burnside Cottage again.

  This holiday rental is absolutely outstanding.

  There's nothing the owner hasn't thought of. Even a beautiful bunch of yellow roses left to welcome you and little boxes of chocs and tablet. The views from the livingroom area are just awesome to watch the wildlife and the ever changing weather from. I honestly can't recommend Riverside cottage enough. It's more than 5 star, it's absolute perfection. Peaceful, tranquil, spotlessly clean, ideal location for everything on the Island. Didn't want to leave and would return in a heartbeat. I've been renting properties on Skye for 20 years and Riverside has everything spot on and more. Attention to detail inside and out just PERFECT.
