“Excellent Accommodation”

Reviewed 5 Sep 2021

Sky cottage is spotlessly clean , very well appointed and well situated for the town centre . It's opposite the harbour and has lovely views from all front windows . The welcome basket of nice bread , butter ,milk and local biscuits was a lovely touch and after a long drive much appreciated. There was a range of coffee , teas and other condiments provided in the kitchen too . I'd happily book Sky cottage again .

“Fantastic central location with sea views”

Reviewed 24 Jun 2019

My husband, mum and I loved our 2 nights stay at Skye Cottage. The house has 3 bedrooms, 2 doubles and a twin with a bathroom upstairs and down. The kitchen diner was great for socialising, and we enjoyed sitting outside in the terraced back garden which was a wee sun trap! The sea views from the front bedrooms was lovely, and the cottage is very easy to walk into town from. There was parking right in front of the house, and the house had everything you could need! We will be back again I’m sure.
