The house has everything you need, & perfectly accommodated 3 adults & 2 children. Beautiful views of the coast, & only a short walk to the edge of the shore. I really shouldn't be encouraging others to stay here.

Cozy and exactly as described. The host, Murdo, was very responsive to any of our needs. When we get a chance to come back to the Skye, we will definitely rebook here. Wish we could have stayed longer.
