January 2016 - Mick & Phoebe - Nottingham - Thank you for letting us stay in your fantastic cottage, we loved it. It is in a stunning location, we have stayed all over the west coast of Scotland over the past 17 years, this takes some beating! It has everything. There are some great places to eat in Portree, food at The Portree Hotel is excellent. We would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to anybody. We will be back again, we love this place. Mick & phoebe

February 2016 - Lucy & Paul - Nottingham - Had a perfect week in Skye. The cottage & its location were idyllic and provided the "home from home" feel that we had read about! Lots of thoughtful small touches - daffodils, supply of candles and logs for a cosy fire. Also loved all the local art & pottery dotted around the cottage. Thank you for a lovely week. L & P

March 2016 - Natty & Issy - Cumbria - Thank you Dawn & Andrew for letting us stay in your beautiful home, we have had a lovely week, wish it could be longer! Will be next time! Great to get to know you, see you again soon we hope. Thank you for letting us stay we have really enjoyed it. We saw lots of wildlife and the garden was cool too.

April 2016 - Cain family - Hemmel Hempstead - Our visit started with a 3 hour drive in a rental hire car from Inverness Airport. The time flew by as the scenery became more and more breathtaking. The cottage sits about 100 yards from the mouth of the Loch. and can be seen on the opposite side of the shore as you drive in. On arrival so relieved to find that the cottage felt like home from home. There were none of the damp corners, bad smells, tired nick nacks we had come to expect from our previous self catering experiences. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen ideal and the under floor heating ideal on cold days. Also the TV and DVD collection were an ideal way for our teenage family to relax in the evening after a long day out adventuring. Our children loved watching the Seals porpoising in the Loch below and the sheep as they grazed on the hill behind the cottage. Our favourite places to visit from the cottage were The Coral Beach, Fairy Pools and an evening drive along the B885 from Bracadale to Portree - the most beautiful moorland drive of our lives! For the adventurous the hills behind the cottage offer great views and a cardiovascular workout as well as discovering hidden pools and waterfalls. We would not think twice about coming again or recommending this wonderful place to our friends!

April 2016 - Ramsey family - Glasgow - My family (wife & 2 twenty something kids and a dog) recently enjoyed a wonderful week at Kirsty's Cottage. It is very comfortable, more spacious than perhaps it appears from the pictures, well equipped and very good value. The views are spectacular particularly from The Sunroom where we ate all our meals watching the Raasay ferry going to and fro and the setting sun. The dog secure garden was also greatly appreciated. The location is good, being central for most of the islands many attractions and not far to drive to the excellent CO-OP  at Portree. We have fallen in love with Skye, if returning would certainly go back to Kirsty's Cottage and would recommend it to others.

April 2016 - Susie & Norrie - Fife - A wee ditty - "15mins past the hour, The ferry comes and goes,15 birdies pass the hour Clinging by their toes. To peck the food that hangs in wait, Without a beg your pardon, Skye's already looking great, And that's just from the garden! Was much to saviour on the Isle, Weaving, pots & leather, Views to thrill mile on mile, And who'd have thought - THE WEATHER! But holidays are "make or break" By where you lay your head This "home from home" make no mistake Is everything you said. Last word goes to the LIGHT Not to make you sad though Last walk with the dogs at night Best ever - MOONSHADOW! We've had a terrific week here on Skye at Kirsty's Many thanks - Susie, Norrie, Axel & Lochy.

May 2016 - Rumseys -Buckinghamshire - Whilst the boys were not able to make it to St Kilda due to bad weather - the Isle of Skye more than made up for their disappointment.

The kids definitely want to come back so who knows;-) It was a real pleasure meeting you both as well. Thank you for your hospitality, we'll keep following you on facebook. " My bed was really nice. I would really like to come back 💗, hope to be back soon!"

August 2016 - Klaus S - We lived in the cottage for one week and it was just great. Beautiful house with everything you need. From each detail you can see that the owners do not only want to rent the house but make the stay there a great experience. The house is located in a beautiful environment with a direct view of the sea. Ferries passed from time to time giving the scene a special mood. Altogether, we enjoyed our holidays a lot and we are thinking to come next year.

August 2016 - Carl, Joanne, Edward & Tillie - Cheshire - This must be the 9th time we have visited this cottage as nowhere comes close!

September 2016 - David & Sheila Barnfarther & Fern English Springer Spaniel - Darlington - What a really comfortable cottage in such a glorious setting. A beautiful island. We have never experienced such heavy rain. we hope to return and will make sure we bring Skye proof waterproofs. A beautiful cottage with stunning view across the bay. Very clean and well appointed with ample space to enjoy a relaxing stay. Dog friendly with enclosed garden Owners very friendly, helpful but not intrusive. Spent many a happy hour in the sun room watching the seals and seabirds when the weather was to inclement to venture out. All in all a superb cottage and location which we would have no hesitation in using again if we return to Skye.

October 2016 - Derek & Jo Brewer - Our second visit to this wonderfully appointed cottage. The weather during the week was fantastic and sunrises from the garden extraordinary. For once red Skye in the morning didn't mean it would pour with rain1 Walks from the cottage to Sligachan Inn and the nearby sandy beach were outstanding and Ullinish Point/Oronsay Island and Talisker bay are highly recommended. It is, of course, the accommodation that makes a holiday and this is a very special place. Thank you.

October 2016 - Angie & Rick Clear - This was our 1st trip to Skye, and we weren't disappointed! The wonderful weather just added to the beauty of the island.
