Seating area

My only criticism of the property is that although the property is dog friendly we felt that both the side and front seating areas should have had gates on them. The front should also have had vertical railings on to make it secure when opening the patio door.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2022

A magical cabin in which to relax and truly appreciate Skye.

The view from this cabin was incredible, I’ve never stayed anywhere like it. It was a warm and inviting place, a home away from home for my family. The kitchen was very well stocked, with everything we needed to keep a family with a toddler and a baby going for a week. The box of toys was lovely, and made my child’s trip. Perhaps the best place I have ever stayed.

Great location very close to the ferry and wonderful views

We stayed a few nights at the Glencoe lodge. It was well equipped and clean. There was excellent communication throughout. The location is excellent for the ferry and for visiting the Southern part of the island and we enjoyed walking our dog on the paths straight from the property.

Fabulous

From booking to check out it was amazing. Everyone was extremely friendly and professional, cabins were spotless and very well equipped. I have give a 5 for everything apart from accommodation - would like to see better quilts and pillows. Linen was perfectly fine but the duvets and pillows could be better. Thanks for a great stay.
