Wonderful place to stay

We loved our weeklong stay in this comfortable home. Most of our days were spent hiking on the Isle of Skye and returning to cook dinner and enjoy eating with the beautiful views from the enormous picture window in living/dining room. The home had everything we needed. Loved that the location was quiet, beautiful, and central to the things we wanted to see and do. A wonderful place to stay!

A week away with friends

Beautiful house located alongside the loch. The views are spectacular either from outside the property or when looking out through the panoramic lounge windows. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely location and stay

This was a great stay in a lovely property. Just a few things for the owner to consider sent in the spirit of (hopefully) helpful feedback: - the double bedroom mattress's seemed quite thin compared to current standards. - the cooker was always on and therefore made the lounge quite hot when the sun was shining. We didn't use the cooker so not only an unnecessary cost to the owner but as an oil burning appliance not environmentally friendly either. - finally, although it didn't bother us some people may feel the quite personalised lounge left them feeling they were staying in someone else's space, rather than their own for the period; maybe a page on the family history and their long connection to the property would get round that. Overall a stunning location and comfortable home for our week (which was spent mainly visiting Skye).

Very pleasant.

‘Iona Cottage’ is not a cottage in the traditional sense- it is a lovely, large house . Wood internally gives the building a slight feeling of being in an Alpine/Nordic chalet . Six of us had plenty of room. (We were able to use one bedroom as a ‘dressing/clothes room as wardrobes in only one bedroom.) It worked very well for us. Whist there, we celebrated a big birthday for my husband with our two daughters and their partners. ( I found a wonderful woman on Skye who made and delivered a fabulous cake to us at short notice!) We had a great time. Living area is very spacious, comfortable , bright and the views from the huge windows are genuinely stunning. We used BBQ and gradually became used to the Arga. Location is fabulous if you have a car and it is easy to explore both Skye and mainland. We crammed in so much during a week. Would happily have stayed longer if possible.

Perfect for a Group! Unbelievable Views!

Our group of 8 was traveling from the U.S. to Scotland for a wedding and needless to say we were definitely fish out of water. This house was absolutely perfect for our needs and provided a great home base during our stay. It was close to town, but still provided a secluded area to relax in. Beyond that it was a great find for the fact that it was situated in a beautiful woodland reserve area with great hiking right around the house and a view that just wouldn't quit. The owner was easy to work with and responded quickly to all emails. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a great place to stay in the highlands.

Beautiful spot, House was great.

We had a great time- could sit and look at the view across the Loch all evening. For Americans the AGA stove was interesting but after a day we enjoyed cooking with it. Only thing I would note is I missed that linens included did not mean towels. That is the only thing negative I can say and that was my fault for not reading the amenities correctly. We had a great time hiking in Skye and coming back to your house to enjoy the view and tranquility.

Fantastische Aussicht

Wenn man das Haus betritt, stellt man zunächst fest, dass die Räumlichkeiten schon deutlich in die Jahre gekommen sind. Bis auf die Bäder wurde hier lange nicht mehr renoviert. Wenn man dann allerdings in die erste Etage kommt und die grandiose Aussicht durch die riesige Panoramascheibe des Wohnzimmers genießen kann, dann sind die Zimmer schnell nebensächlich. Die Kinder haben es sehr genossen, den ganzen Tag in der kleinen Bucht direkt am Wasser zu spielen und jede Menge Jakobsmuscheln gesammelt. Insgesamt alles top!

Haus in toller Lage am Meer

Schönes, gut ausgestattetes Haus mit tollem Blick aufs Meer. Konnten vom Haus aus Delfine beobachten. Schnelle und unkomplizierte Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin. Aufgrund der permanenten Wärmeabstrahlung ist der Aga Ofen im Sommer bei warmen Temperaturen etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Insgesamt aber sehr empfehlenswertes Haus.

Traumhaft

Das Haus liegt in traumhafter Lage direkt am Loch Alsh. Wir haben Abends bei einem gemütlichen Feuer im Ofen einfach nur an dem riesigen Wohnzimmerfenster gesessen und auf die Bucht geschaut. Und tatsächlich Seehunde in nicht mal 50 m Entfernung beobachten können. Die Ausstattung ist komplett - lediglich unsere Anziehsachen mitzubringen hätte gereicht! Vom Haus aus ist die Insel Skye in wenigen MInuten zu erreichen und der im nächsten Ort erhältliche lokale Räucherlachs ist kaum zu toppen! Das Haus ist zu empfehlen wenn man mal so richtig abschalten will - Trubel ist in der ganzen Gegend nicht zu finden! Und obendrauf noch die sehr angenehme und unkomplizierte Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin! Fazit: 10 von 10 Sternen! ----------------------------------------------------------- The house is in a fantastic location right on Loch Alsh. In the evening we just sat at the huge living room window with a cozy fire in the stove and looked at the bay. And you can actually see seals less than 50 meters away. The equipment is complete - just bringing our clothes would have been enough! The Isle of Skye is minutes from the house and the local smoked salmon available in the next town is hard to beat! The house is recommended if you really want to switch off - there is no hustle and bustle in the whole area! And on top of that the very pleasant and uncomplicated communication with the landlady! Conclusion: 10 out of 10 stars!

Sehr schönes Haus

Ein sehr schönes Haus und zudem sehr gut und ruhig direkt am Wasser gelegen. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Zimmer und Bäder waren sauber. Das Wohnzimmer ist sehr gemütlich und die Küche ist top ausgestattet. Die Gastgeber waren gut erreichbar, sehr freundlich und haben schnell auf alle Fragen reagiert. Auch für Familien mit Kleinkindern sehr gut geeignet. Definitiv eine gute Wahl.

it's a beautiful place especially for kids. the house isn't that modern and in the kitchen there isn't enough cutlery (small spoons, small knifes to cut cheese and veggies) for a group of eight. the view is great and the location to visit the isle of skye and surrounding is perfect.

Stunning location

We loved our stay, the view from the property is totally amazing. We saw otters and seals. The property was in very easy reach of the Skye bridge and some fabulous walks. We walked over to Plockton (7 miles) great track and stunning views. The Woodland walks right next to the property are very nice short walks. Property had great amenities, providing binoculars was a very nice touch. Also was a really bonus that bath and hand towels were provided. I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect location

Lovely home in a perfect location. Away from it all but close to Eilean Donan castle, Kyle of Lochalsh and over the sea (bridge)to Skye. Also the Applecross peninsula - what a fabulous road. Although you could have just sat in the house all day just looking at the view. Saw porpoises, seals and otters from the house.Didn’t want to leave.

Perfect family adventure

We stayed in this lovely house for a week of sunshine, views, wildlife, walks, swims, trips to Skye and family time. The house is very spacious and comfortable for 9. Well appointed with everything you might need. The living area is very large and we enjoyed our early mornings looking out of the vast window with binoculars for otters & porpoises - then out of the door later to hop on our paddle boards to join them! A great week, thank you Antonina. We would love to return.
