It is in a very convenient to access the Isle of Skye bridge as only 4 miles away. The flat was very clean, homely, very well equipped and a great size. A Spar shop next door and a larger Co-op store a couple of miles away. Sunday and Monday not good days in Kyle of Lochalsh if you want to eat out. All in all we had a great stay and would recommend. Well done Carley & co.

A true hidden gem in a wonderful location, just a short drive from the Isle of Skye. We stayed as a family of four and felt instantly at home. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed with a small treat – some chocolate and crackers – a simple but thoughtful gesture that set the tone for our stay. The check-in process was completely contactless and effortless, with clear instructions and keys waiting securely in a lockbox. Inside, the apartment was spotless, beautifully arranged, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need – from coffee and tea to all the little touches that make a place feel truly cared for. We were especially touched to find games for the children – such a lovely detail! It’s a peaceful and cosy base for exploring Skye or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the Highlands. We wholeheartedly recommend it – a place with warmth, charm, and a feeling you’ll want to return to.

It was a good location as a base to explore isle of skye and great value for money. Very spacious, with a beautiful garden and living room to spend time in. Kind and caring host who was very responsive to our questions.

The house struggles with humidity and the respective co-habitants.

Super location for a base to explore Skye. There is a supermarket next door which is very handy. Skye requires a lot of driving between destinations and so being on the mainland really didn’t make much of a difference so don’t let that put anyone off. The accommodation was very clean and spacious, a good functional place, probably not suitable for staying in on a rainy day but it’s absolutely fine to rest up in the evening. Shower was decent and there is a little path for walks straight out the door and the water at the front which is beautiful. Good communication.

The communal entrance stinks, which is the first thing you’re greeted with after a long journey. There is a feel that it hasn’t had a penny spent on refurbishment - quite common in Scotland unfortunately - which I find embarrassing when international guests are staying. For example the garden - which could potentially be lovely - has rusty old unused bird feeder and a broken old chair needing binned. And many of the door handles inside are knackered. I don’t understand why low standards are acceptable here compared to when I visit other countries, hence why can’t honestly dish out a 10. Perhaps reflected in price- but that’s an excuse in my opinion.

Impeccably clean, cosy flat. Equipped with every possible appliance and utensil. Incredible attention to detail and great hospitality including treats and a card. A few steps from the sea - perfect for a morning stroll.

Hidden Gem was in a good location with a hotel and shop nearby, and just a short drive to Skye. It was well equipped and comfortable. There were good recommendations for restaurants and things to do.

N / A. As hillwalkers this was perfect location to accessing the hills around Iron Lodge.

The electric (Halogen ?) hob had a missing ring on the front left. Took us a while to realise why the veg were not sweating. Heating came on relatively late in the afternoon - 17:30 for a February night. So we went to bed for a nap till it came on !
