Formidable
Des vacances en novembre en Ecosse, sur l’île de Skye, c'était un peu osé. Cependant, 4 jours de soleil, un gîte très confortable malgré quelques soucis de chauffage, les paysages de bord de loch et mer magnifiques, l'accueil chaleureux des écossais , tout était réuni pour un superbe séjour. La distillerie Tallisker, le restaurant The three Chimeys, la ferme aux fruits de mer et le bar de Carbost sont des incontournables ainsi que Portree, ...Nous y retournerons très certainement.

Spacious Comfy Cottage with Peaceful Views
Views of sheep from conservatory in back (where we spent most of our time) and glorious water views from dining table out front which are not shown in listing but should be! Very comfy well equipped older cottage. Keith was great to chat with. The 4 mile one track road in was slow due to the traffic to the Talisker Distillery but that is no fault of the cottage. Just a fact on Skye!

As the headline for the listing says, it was a perfect base for our exploring the Skye. Keith was responsive when we needed him. The house was clean, warm, cozy, provided all we needed for our stay, and offered an amazing view of the loch and surrounding mountains. We really enjoyed the Old Inn just a mile away and the Talisker distillery visit.

The bungalow is exactly as listed and is well appointed in a lovely location. We had good communications with the owner and a great chat with the helpful caretaker who lives nearby.

Gut, super Lage, aber Renovierungsbedürftig.
Die Lage ist super. Schön mittig auf der Insel, sodass man überall max eine Stunde braucht. TV Anlage, Radio vorhanden, sogar DVD und auch einige in Deutscher Sprache. Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Es ist alles da was man so braucht. Check-in und out waren unkompliziert. Die Kummunikation mit allen Verantwortlichen war einfach und super freundlich. Was uns nicht gefallen hat, war der muffige Geruch in allen 3 Schlafräumen und im Flur. Wobei die zwei hinteren Schlafzimmer am schlimmsten waren. Diese haben wir Gott sei dank nicht nutzen müssen. Dies habe ich auch Rückgemeldet und mir wurde mitgeteilt, dass das Haus wohl renoviert werden soll im Frühjahr. Wenn dies getan ist, ist es auf jedenfall sehr zu empfehlen.

Stunning location!
Spacious cottage located about a mile from Carbost village, sitting above the bank of loch Harport, giving great views of the whole area. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. The beds are, perhaps, slightly lumpy, yet all of our party enjoyed a great night's sleep throughout our week's stay. It provided a great base for exploring the island (cautionary note, if you haven't been to Skye before, allow plenty travelling time, due to single track roads and slow motor homes... e.g. from the cottage to the Fairy Pools' car park is a distance of 7.5 miles, which at worst, took 50 minutes in the car!). We thoroughly enjoyed our week on Skye based at the cottage. It offered a comfortable stay and fantastic value. We would not hesitate to return and highly recommend it to others.

Amazing Budget Friendly House
Value for money with this house is awesome! Those negative reviews have to be from people with a champagne taste on a beer budget. Yes it’s an older home, but for the price it is sooo worth it. Great views and the sunroom is a great way to relax and spend windy stormy days. We had a week here and for the price I was AMAZED! The Old Inn in Carbost is a cute little pub close by to see and listen to live music. Fasts in The Isle of Skye Candle Co Welcome center (Portree) is a must. The pizza and scones are superb! If you don’t get check-in instructions, just go to the house. Trust me, the caretaker Keith is either there or close by to help. Skye is small, so just go. I can’t wait to return and I’ll definitely be booking again, maybe 2 weeks next trip if I’m lucky. Thanks for sharing a lovely little cottage!

Six day stay
Fernilea home is an older home, but had everything one needs. Being older, not everything is brand-new perfect, but GREAT value for the price. If you need a 4 star hotel, this is not the place for you. If you want a spacious place for great price, quiet and great views, this is it. Tricky to find, and single-track potholed roads can be challenging...but THIS IS RURAL SCOTLAND. It's part of the charm. Others have mentioned steep steps up from parking space and difficult deep bathtub/shower to step into. If you have mobility issues, this is not for you, but the listing clearly indicates same. Read the listing and reviews before you rent! Large graveled parking space at bottom of steps. When finding home do not (as we did) confuse signage for "Tallisker" with signage to "Tallisker Distillery". Travel past the Tallisker Distillery, turn left up the steep hill, then turn at next right. Home is then perhaps 1/2 mile on left, overlooking the loch. Only real negative was tiny refrigerator and no ice-making ability. Central location on island makes sightseeing easy.

Beautiful area perfect for us and our dog. The house is spacious and warm with conservatory that heats up in any spells of sunshine. Parts of the property are a bit tired and the bath was out of action but we are told an overhaul is planned this winter, which I am sure will be a great addition. We had a warm welcome and would happily stay again.

Disappointed
Very disappointed, didn't live up to images online. All furniture old and tired, needs replacing. Beds extremely hard and uncomfortable, resorted to using spare duvets on top of mattress to try and make more comfortable, with little success. For some reason, all beds were pulled away from walls which showed a huge cleaning failure as large amounts of dust and debris behind every bed. TV appeared not to work properly and no instructions to help. Garden was so overgrown, could not access outside seating or washing line. No information about steep steps to access property. Property not clearly marked making it difficult to find, had to ring for directions. Very little information received prior to visit, had to contact owner a few days before holiday. Pictures of property very deceiving. Surprised to see artwork on bathroom wall, it was a very unclean plastic bathmat, stuck on the wall which was the first thing you saw gong into the bathroom. Also bath did not work and access to shower difficult as over bath, not a separate cubicle. Not an ideal property for anyone with limited mobility.

My family and I had a fabulous time, the location was perfect, we arrived after 18:00 and you instantly notice the big sky, if you’re a star gazer you have the cosmos there with no light pollution to wonder at, when we got up the following morning we were greeted by the superb views mountains all around and the sea loch vistas were quite spectacular, the accommodation was great a very well maintained character property and spacious enough for a family, looking forward returning next year, and if you need any help Keith is the information department and can point you towards any surrounding attractions, like any holiday destination in Scotland you have to make your own preparations, we knew where we going and we were not disappointed with anything.

Isle of Skye cottage
My spouse and I had an excellent stay at this cottage on Isle of Skye. It takes a bit of a drive to get to it, but it's very well-positioned if you'd like a little bit of isolation and privacy during your holiday. There's a good restaurant (Munros Bar) up the road, and you're a short drive from the Oyster Shed, Talisker Distillery, and a handful of amenities in Carbost. The cottage was clean and cozy, with plenty of hot water, and the host (Diana) and her caretaker (Keith) took good care of us. I would definitely recommend.

This house is really spacious and kitchen is equipped with everything you would ever need. The washer and dryer was a real plus as was the fireplace! The heater on a timer was a bit strange but we worked around it. Bed mattresses and pillows not the greatest but sufficient. The view is wonderful but if you are looking for a place with stuff close by, this is not for you. Quiet., peaceful perfect for us! There is a tiny convenient store / post office about 1.5 miles down the hill also a couple of places to eat. The road in really tests your driving skills but grows on you after a few times. Plan on driving a bit to see any of the sights but all are well worth the drive. The fairy pools are quite close, everything else is a bit of a poke. Overall, quite comfortable and I would highly recommend. Keith, the caretaker, was great and the house was impeccably clean!

Beautiful Sunrises over the Loch
We spent a week on Skye, using this lovely home as our base. The location was well suited for our adventures into the Cuillins, up to Dunvegan, and around Portree. Unfortunately, the Talkisker Distillery had experienced a drainage issue, and was closed to visitors the entire week were there. That was really the only down point of our stay, and, of course, had nothing to do with the home. The internet was stable, allowing me to telework as needed, and we LOVED relaxing in the conservatory, listening to the rain fall and and the sheep bleat. True Scotland! Previous reviews have mentioned that the home is a bit "tired", and while that may be the case, we found it very comfortable. Thank you, Diana, for sharing your home with us!

There are some points for improvement, oven didnt work properly, and took ages to heat up. Beds Bedding & towels could do with a refresh.

Das Einchecken war einfach und reibungslos. Das Cottage hat eine wunderschöne Lage und jeden Morgen begrüßen einen die Schafe wenn man aus dem Wintergarten in die tolle Landschaft schaut. Die Lage bietet viele Ausflugsmöglichkeiten auf dieser tollen Insel. Der kleine Laden unten im Dorf hat alles Nötige da und alle sind sehr freundlich. Leider haben wir die Polarlichter nicht gesehen, die man aber wohl auf der Insel durchaus sehen kann. Durch das Grundstück ideal für Kinder. Ausstattung ausreichend, Gastgeber und Hausmeister vor Ort sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit mit guten Tipps.

Nie wieder so eine Unterkunft !!
Leider können wir nur die Umgebung der Unterkunft als gut ansehen. Es fing leider damit an, dass die Schlüssel nicht in der Schlüsselbox waren und das Haus unverschlossen war. Oberflächlich war das Haus zwar sauber und die Wäsche frisch, aber wenn man genauer hinsah, bemerkten wir, dass zum Beispiel die Küchenschränke ekelig dreckig waren. Außerdem ist das Haus von innen feucht und stinkt. Alle Heizungen waren voll aufgedreht und das im Sommer. Zudem lief ein Gerät, das die Feuchtigkeit aus dem Haus zieht. Das haben wir dann zweimal täglich geleert, damit es wenig muffig riecht. Die Tapete im Flur hing schon von der Decke und die Teppiche sind auch sehr verschmutzt. Die Sofa sind ziemlich abgeranzt. Der Zustand des Hauses und der Möbel war auf den Bildern nicht erkennbar bzw. kommt nicht richtig rüber. Wir waren sehr entsetzt von dieser Unterkunft und waren froh, dass wir nur drei Nächte hier verbracht haben.

Homely cottage in a beautiful location.
Deceivingly large cottage, with beautiful views onto Loch Harport and Black Cuillins. The directions were easy to follow and we found the cottage easily. The house itself is a little tired, inside and out, but certainly retains its charm and character and suited us perfectly. Beds are very comfortable and the house is supplied with everything you need. We enjoyed three local places to eat pretty much on our doors step. The Old Inn (opposite the distillery) provided tasty pub food, and we visited the Oyster Shed twice. It’s only a mile down the road and you can’t get any fresher seafood, well worth a visit. Our favourite was Munros Bar, inside the Taigh Aileen Hotel, Portnalong approx 2.5miles away. Friendly staff and delicious food. You can even takeaway the entire restaurant menu food up to 9pm. If you like to fish, the carbost pier is an excellent spot, with Mackrell, Pollock and Sea Trout in its waters. I would also highly recommend the Wild Skye Boat Trip too, we had an amazing time. Stephen is a great skipper full of interesting facts and we were lucky enough to feed the white tailed eagles and have a pod of common dolphins swim alongside the boat. Also had a super fishing time. Portnalong pier is beautiful too especially at sunset. Overall, the cottage is situated in a great spot on the Island, maintaining your solitude whilst being part of a small community, with a coffee shop, village shop, and local pub. We all would happily return. The cottage provided perfect and very welcome comfort after long days exploring the rugged and beautiful Island.

Lovely kitchen and conservatory. Few considerations. No information or daily guide on TV and limited selection of DVD'S when weather not good.
