Tigh Na Fraoch,

31st May 2025:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tigh Na Fraoch and would highly recommend. The apartment was great and we enjoyed the quiet and solitude. It wasn’t too far from central Portee but just far enough to enjoy a reprieve from the hustle and bustle. The only comment/suggestions we have is to furnish washing machine detergent and note that most grocery stores in the area have Nespresso pods if you need more and prefer that coffee. (Also the washing machine looks super moldy - we never used it because we didn’t have detergent.

Bring washing machine detergent if you want to use washing machine. If you’re a runner or walker, there’s a nearby path along the busy road called “Karen’s track” or mile that’s beautiful! Make dinner reservations as many restaurants are busy and short staffed.

This was perfect for traveling with friends! Bright, roomy, clean and very comfortable. Location is not close (ie walking distance) to amenities but that is what we chose it for - quiet and serene. There are 2 access paths down to the water, beautiful rocky shores. Sheep (and a couple pigs!) in nearby fields, the road is lovely to stroll and the views are spectacular (we actually considered moving the couch around the other way to look out the picture window since the tv was never used). Roomy kitchen with a selection of breakfast snacks left out. I would absolutely recommend this for a quiet getaway!

Local walking. Amenities and some very good restaurants (Blas!) close by in Dunvegan, which also has a castle tour with beautiful gardens. St Mary’s church ruin and graveyard are worth a stop on the way into town. If you’re interested in textile art, Skye Weavers is a fascinating stop a little drive past Dunvegan. The upper peninsula loop is right there too, with Storr, the ruins of Duntulm and the fairy pools.

I rated our three day stay a five. The GPS had trouble pin pointing the cottage but with the stunning views from the huge picture windows and deck l did not consider dropping my rating. We stepped in and were immediately “At Home”. Everything was as described and had all you could possibly need for an overnight or a two week stay. I had occasion to contact Eddie and the response time was very quick. He had an immediate answer to my question and followed through to make sure l was happy. The little goodie kitchen basket got us started until we could get to a grocery store. Definitely would recommend and the magical views will be with us long after we return to the real world.

Would Recommend: Yes

A little light on plates, bowls and glasses. Otherwise all good. Good COVID protocols in place and the cottage was spotless when we arrived. A comfortable base for touring the top end of the island.

Nearby Edinbane was good for food. Cottage is about half way between Portree and Dunvegan, both of which also have some excellent restaurants. Half hour drive gets you to the Old Man of Storr and 40 minutes the other way takes you to the Lighthouse at Neist Point. There are a host of places to just stop and admire the oustanding views. Well worth visiting the adjacent peninsulas

Thanks a lot for the nice stay in Tigh Na Fraoch, we felt like home :-) But we didn`t found a dishrag and any stuff for the dish washing machine.......so we didn-^t know, if the dish was clean.....

The cottage has beautiful sea views, fully-equipped kitchen and a yard. When we arrived, the fresh milk and bread were already in the kitchen. A very nice cottage!

Maison très agréable, spacieuse avec une belle vue sur le loch et très bien équipée. Le 1er petit déjeuner est prévu ce qui est très sympathique.

This is truly a beautiful little 2 bedroom cottage felt literally like our own place it was super convenient as we were driving. We were delighted by the small but important groceries left for us as we arrived far later than envisaged & these little touches helped us get settled in immediately. The house is 15 kms from Portree & situated in the beautiful village of kildonan a great place to relax & unwind

Must have a car in skye as without one would be difficult. Restaurants are fairly packed on weekends hence reservations are a must. As restaurants themselves are few. Portree has a lot of places to dine out but my family & I sought out & enjoyed the seafood at the quaint little fishing villages all over skye.

A wonderful situation, and a very comfortable and clean home from home. Comfortable settees and chairs should you ever get round to relaxing, as there is so much to see and do on Skye.....and it was our first visit. Beds also comfortable,and huge soft towels a delight. The views from everywhere at the front of the house were spectacular. Sunsets that cameras old not do justice to.

We dined at the Inn in Edinbaine twice, and not only had good meals, but the smiling service and helpful staff added to the evening's fun. They have music on. Sunday too....so we intentd to sample it this afternoon. Arrive around 4 pm we were told. Saw The Fairy pools, a lovely walk on a sunny day, the Fairy Glen, which we have yet to read about, but it was a fascinating natural landscape. The museum of local life en route to the ruined castle of Duntuln at the north of the island was great....and only cost £2.50 each. Dunvegan castle and gardens were interesting and the rooms lovely inside despite a bleak exterior! Fascinating history of The McLeods clan and the many chiefs throughout it's history, and life at the time of each.

Would Recommend: Yes

Fabulous location. Comfortable and well equipped cottage.
