La Maison de Campagne

Amazing peaceful setting. Homely relaxing comfortable. Friendly sheep neighbours. Restful.

Nothing !

Great cottage which was well equipped. They had the most comprehensive information pack

Great place Abit remote but we knew that when we booked it.

Maison située idéalement si vous aimez le calme Tout était parfait

Seul mini bémol, le lit double était un peu juste pour nous (nous sommes grands)

Most of the appartment was well renovated and new items. Except the couch which was old and dirty.

the description that this appartment had a nice view on sea shore when it is not the case. The appartment is in the middle of nowhere. The couch that was not clean at all (there was food under the cushion), but everything else in the appartment was real clean.

The accommodations covered all our needs (and some we didn't have) and the friend I was traveling with thought the upstairs shower was especially wonderful. (It was handy to have an en suite upstairs as well as a bathroom downstairs.) I tended to forget and hit my head on the sloped ceilings upstairs but appreciated the ability to open the windows in them, letting hot air out and cool air in. Being outside with views to the sea and of the sheep in the pens was fun. What made our stay most memorable, however, was hitting a deep pothole on our way. The road was narrow (one-lane with stone fences on the side in some places) so we did not stop to check the tire immediately. It was good we were fairly close to the cottage. Once we had opened the gate and turned onto the long driveway, we checked and found the tire deflating quickly. I shooed a few sheep ahead of the rental car so it could be parked near the end where the driveway wouldn't be blocked and the car could receive attention. And that was when we discovered what a gift our hosts were. Simon checked the tire the next morning to see what our options were and made arrangements with a garage in Portree to come out and replace the tire. I am extremely grateful for his help (and could say more in thankfulness but don't want to set him up for extra work from future guests!). The man from the garage was also capable, kind, and efficient, and told us he spends almost all his time on the road--helping mostly tourists, I believe. (We did get to see someone deftly handling a complicated set of potholes later and were pretty sure he was a very experiencd local.) I was surprised that it was quite so hard and expensive to book a place on Skye, since we were going mid-May (although one of our nights was on a Friday), so book as early as possible.

Location, cute inside and out, owner responsive to requests ( thank you)

Beds a little too firm

This was a beautiful property in a stunning location. The downstairs bathroom was amazing, and the kitchen was superb — a real bonus having a washer/ dryer to do some laundry. The beds were comfortable overall. The main double bed was a little small for two people, but it suited the room well and wasn’t uncomfortable.

Absolutely beautiful location surrounded by the Scottish Highlands. The house is equipped with everything you need to be self-sustaining.

The washer and dryer were a bit confusing to operate but we managed to get a few loads of laundry done during our stay. A nice perk to have after hiking!
