“Amazing week on Skye”

Reviewed 18 Jul 2021

Can’t fault this property. Kerr cottage was perfect. Lovely garden which was safe for the kids and dogs with amazing views of the sea and the Red Cuillin. Got to see seals in the Loch Sligachan, just a short walk from the property. Kerr cottage is in a great location, a short 10-15 minute drive to Portree and Sligachan for the Black Cuillin ( which is what attracted me to Skye in the first place), it’s around an hours drive from a lot of the attractions, Storr is only 30 mins away and the fairy Glen a little further but I’d say the cottage location was perfect. We had a great week for our first time on Skye, the scenery was some of the most amazing and beautiful I’ve ever seen and weather was fantastic. We’ll definitely be back next year
