The Crofter's House

My fiancee and I had the most relaxing stay at The Crofter's House. Sarah has created such a cozy spot in the Highlands and our stay exceeded our expectations in every way! We enjoyed our home cooked meals (after a week of traveling), staying warm by the fire, and having a beautiful, clean place to return after our adventures! Sarah added so many personal touches to the space, which made us feel right at home. Easy access to great Isle of Skye travel guides made our adventures much easier to plan (and navigate). I would 100% recommend this home to all and even tell them to plan around it!

Life got in the way of this review, which is a shame because we had the most wonderful, relaxing two weeks at Sarah‘s cottage. The location is perfect: quiet and close to nature but Portree is within easy reach and it’s a great base for exploring the island. The walk up the mountain is amazing and we spotted seals in the bay every day. The cottage itself is stylish and cosy. It really feels like home because Sarah has thought of all the little things that one might need and sometimes misses when renting a place: a little library, DVDs, but also plenty of tea towels, user manuals...

Accommodation superb - very homely and cosy, with lots of very useful features. Location is perfect for exploring the island. A very peaceful and relaxing break.

When I arrived at the Crofter's house in November, I was very sick. This trip to Skye was the beginning of my recovery - and the crofter's cottage was a very big part of that. It's a gorgeous cottage, well positioned on Skye, but also so secluded and self contained. Well stocked with board games, DVDs, and netflix - you could stay comfortably and lock the outside world out with no problems for at least a week! The little bay down the road is perfect for seal spotting, and a quiet moment. Sarah is also a brilliant host. Will be back! B

Very cosy cottage three miles from Portree in a lovely rural location. Although small the cottage has all you need for a comfortable stay. The local bay is good for seal and bird watching. Further afield Dunvegan Castle , Uig , Armadale are well worth a visit and easily reached. It is the spectacular scenery of Skye that is its chief attraction and this cottage is an ideal base from which to explore that.
