Stephen and Sally were lovely hosts! Their property and home was an absolute dream - it was extremely clean and comfortable and they really thought of everything. We loved the history of the home and decor - can’t wait to come back!

So clean, beautiful and in the perfect location! Centrally located to all the sites but the best part was sitting in the cottage kitchen watching the clouds and sea. The bedrooms have dream views and such comfortable beds. Best stay of our trip and can’t wait to come back (and stay a little longer!)

Beautiful, scenic location. Exceptionally clean cottage with an extremely well equipped kitchen , comfortable beds lots of space to spread out. A great retreat from the sometimes challenging Highland weather. Excellent communication with the hosts.

We just had a problem of heating but Stephen fixed it immediately , which proves how concerned he is about his guests!

This is a real getaway location. Beautiful views and endless skies. The cottage is well equipped for cooking, the bedrooms are comfortable, airy and pretty, again with amazing views, and if you want to read or watch TV there is plenty to choose from. It is a short walk to an empty beach with rocks, pebbles and sand when the tide is out. It is just lovely

This is remote by many folk’s standards. You have to drive single track roads with passing places - which are plentiful and well sign posted. You do need to plan shopping/fuel for the car etc, you can’t just pop round the corner for a pint of milk, or walk to a restaurant. These are not downsides, this is a big adventure, with Dinosaur footprints to see on the beach at Staffin, the story of the crofting lives of Skye at the museum on the way round to Uig and Clan history at Dunvegan Castle, complete with lovely gardens and a boat trip to see seals. Climbing the Old Man of Storr (well as far as the needle) is on well managed paths with stone steps. Fairy Pools similarly has a well marked gravel path up the side of the mountain along the waterfalls. There are well placed car parks and parking laybys all over the Isle (don’t be a plonker and park in a passing place!). Lots of places for coffee/tea and of course cake. If you are going to be there Nov to May ish, download the AuroraWatch UK app you may get lucky with a display of the northern lights and that is the best for notifications. Best tip, relax, breathe deeply and enjoy.

Everything about Driftwood Cottage was perfect.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th November 2023:

Beautiful location and very close to many of the islands attractions. The view from the property is breathtaking and that includes the amazing night sky. Lovely property. Driftwood Cottage was clean and well cared for. We loved our stay there.

Be aware if you go to find the dinosaur's footprints, you have to clamber over slippery, moss covered rocks. Take time to enjoy the cottage. The views are incredible and ever changing. There's an information pack in the property giving the time it takes to visit each attraction. Many are not far from the cottage. The fish and shellfish wherever we ate were frsh and of great quality.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd September 2023:

Oh my goodness, where to start! We found Driftwood Cottage online and fell in love with the location, the views, and the photos of inside - it was just what we wanted for our first visit to Skye. We booked almost a year ahead for these 3 nights and then planned the rest of our dream trip around this booking. It did not disappoint! The cottage was immaculate, private, comfortable and cosy. Our only neighbors were sheep! The views were even more spectacular in person and each bedroom has views of both the sea and the Quiraing. The kitchen had everything we needed, as did the bathrooms. We loved the fact that they had several binoculars too, even through we had brought our own! We also loved that there was a clothes dryer, we were half expecting to use the clothes line outside or the towel warmer to dry our clothes! The beds were comfortable, the bedding was cosy and kept us warm. If you have time on your hands, there is a huge collection of reading materials and DVDs to keep you occupied.

Hike the Quiraing!! It is amazing and we honestly felt as though we were transported to another realm. It's just a few minutes from the cottage when you drive up to the car park and follow the trail - the first part of the trail is super easy (no strenuous climbs) but if you are adventurous then go crazy as there are several trails to choose from. After that carry on to Uig to see the Fairy Glen, then drive back to the cottage via A855 north stopping along the way to visit the Skye Museum of Island Life and the ruins of Duntulm Castle - both spectacular! We also visited the Staffin museum, the curator was very knowledgable and gave us some hints about visiting the dinosaur prints at An Corran beach but there were better prints further south at Culnacnoc beach. If you are there on a Sunday then we recommend driving over the Quiraing to Uig for the Sunday Roast at the Uig Hotel - so delicious and the staff there are so friendly and helpful.

Driftwood Cottage was the perfect getaway for a peaceful holiday in the beautiful island of Skye hosted by Sally who created a peaceful and welcoming environment for a truly relaxing holiday in a super location overlooking the beach. The cottage was well equipped and tastefully decorated throughout with quality furnishings and was spotlessly clean. Sally lived a mile away from Driftwood Cottage and was accessible if needed and always replied immediately with any queries. We had a great family holiday at Driftwood and look forward to returning next year.

The highlights of our holiday was: The Quairing; The Old Man of Storr; The Dinosaur Museum and the Dinosaur Beach in Staffin within easy reach from the cottage. A visit to Neiss Point Lighthouse is highly recommended and the boat trip and walk around Loch Coruisk at the foot of the Cuillins was one of the highlights of our trip. Stunning views and scenery wherever you choose to go. A place you could return to Year after year and find new things to do.

Would Recommend: Yes

This cottage was magical. Truly. We stayed for three nights and wished we had stayed for more. It was a great central hub to the surrounding hikes.

Driftwood Cottage is a perfect place. Very good localisation. Beautiful landscape, ocean just behind the window. Rooms are very cozy with comfortable beds, kitchen well equipped. All house was very clean. We've got a message from the owners with all necesary informations. It was one of the most beautiful places we've been to.

If you want to eat in near bar or restaurants, book your seats in advance.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th November 2022:

The cottage is wonderful, clean and the location is excellent. The booklet with information available at the house was very useful. The kitchen was fantastic and the house was warm, beds very comfortable. We couldn’t really enjoy the garden since it was raining quite a lot and the days are short, but it was beautiful and very well maintained. We saw an amazing sunrise from the kitchen!

We went to Cuchullin restaurant at Portree which was open and had a wonderful dinner (I would specially recommend to try the seafood platter)! There is a post box not far away from the house (by the road direction to Portree) maybe 1.5-2 miles away from the house, on your left (useful for sending postcards!)

Lovely decor. Well laid out and equipped, with everything to hand. Peace of mind about cleanliness, as it was so apparent. Good storage in house. Nice outdoor space for kids. Friendly, and helpful owners. Information to hand, if you need it.

Good fishing off the rocks at both Staffin beach and up at Duntulm Castle (15 mins drive away). Visit the fossil museum in Staffin and definitely go to Fairy Glen near Uig. The Fairy Pools near Glenbrittle was a bit crowded and touristy for our liking.

Would Recommend: Yes

Loved it would stay again!!

We wished we spent more time in the cottage itself was so beautiful with gorgeous views and everything you could need to self cater!

Would Recommend: Yes

19th July 2021:

Excellent communications before and after the stay, and clear notes in folder in the cottage on important stuff like walking to the beach and keeping windows closed in case of winds. Very clean cottage, comfy beds and felt very comfortable staying there in these Covid times. Kitchen and house in general super equipped (thank you particularly for dishwasher tablets and washing machine pods): wish we'd asked about coffee making as we didn't bring Nespresso pods so couldn't use the machine - maybe useful to tell folk in advance in case they forget to ask like we did. Only thing we noted missing was a steamer to sit on pan-top for veg (very minor thing)! Additional oven tray and wooden spoon would be useful too.

We did note that Skye is extremely busy this year! We had fabulous pizza from Pizza in the Skye near Coop in Portree - good to note that it closes at 7pm and was very busy. Skye Adventures Coasteering was also excellent and is done just up the road from the cottage.

We loved our stay at Driftwood Cottage and would absolutely recommend to others. We felt very at home there. The house was warm and cozy and beautifully furnished. All the rooms were spotlessly clean and had stunning views over Staffin Beach. The beds were so comfortable and the linens felt very luxurious! The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook our meals and Stephen and Sally had thoughtfully provided everything we needed for our toddler. We would love to return.

Unfortunately quite a few eateries were either completely closed or only open to residents. However we would recommend a drive either over the Quairang or around the top of the island at sunset to enjoy watching the sun setting over the adjacent islands. The hiking anywhere is brilliant. We did enjoy a lovely meal at The Carbost Inn and would recommend.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th August 2020:

Fantastic cottage, really well equipped. Perfect! Tiny thing- top of path near road about 5m from end there is a dip where however slowly we went over it the underneath of the car got scrapped. Not sure you can do anything about that!!

Would Recommend: Yes

26th August 2020:

A beautiful cottage with everything you need to self cater. Everything was immaculate. The view from the cottage and the sound of the waves on the beach were so delightful

Local area beautiful - wild flowers and rowan trees are abundant. Drive over the Queraing Mountain to Uig for spectacular views. There is a little loch just up from cottage which is the most exquisite colour and so clear. Candle shop in Staffin is lovely and owner opened especially for us on a Sunday when he saw us looking to see when it opening hours We saw the Dinosaur footprints on Staffin beach!

Would Recommend: Yes

14th August 2020:

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage is beautiful - comfortable and clean. We particularly enjoyed the changing view over the bay from the kitchen window and lovely family means around the kitchen table.

The location of the cottage is fantastic, remote enough to experience quiet and peace but also near enough to lots of amazing sites and facilities. We loved the nearby walks over the Old man of Storr and Quiraing. I would love to return. Thank you Stephen and Sally!

Would Recommend: Yes

19th November 2019:

the cottage is lovely, the views are breathtaking. it was very clean and tidy and we were provided a travel cot and highchair for our 1 year old which was very helpful to us. we were provided with books, DVDs and games to keep us entertainer which we appreciated. the only issue we had was we struggled to get the grill to work but that could easily have been us not doing it properly.

there is a beach right outside which you can go for a walk on. we struggled to find places to eat unless you go into portree and the co-op there isnt very big so you may not get everything you need from there to stock up at the cottage. but to be honest if you come prepared with everything you need then there is no need to leave the cottage anyway. there is a small shop about 5 minute drive away on the way to portree. we did find that several places had shut I assume for the winter but that is to be expected going mid November. overall it is a lovely place as I say I would just be abit more prepared next time and do most of the shopping prior to getting there.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th November 2019:

The cottage and the location are superb: * It has stunning sea view. * Did I mention the sea view? * It's warm. * Everything is sparkling clean. * The interior is cool. There are lots of interesting details. * Board games :-)

We had a lovely stay, everthing was perfect. The sunrise was magnificent. Only minor was the driveway. In the dark it was tricky to ride. We definitely will return. Thank you so much.

Driftwood cottage is central point to lot of highlights on the Isle of Skye. Walk through Quiraign is a must.

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd November 2019:

An absolutely fabulous cottage, very well equipped and snug. Great kitchen and cooking facilities, super bedrooms with comfortable beds, lovely decoration throughout.

Very well located for north of Skye; we particularly enjoyed walking on the Quiraing, the Fairy Glen, Claigan Coral Beach, Rubha Hunish lookout, Kilt Rock, Mealt Falls, St Columba's ruined church. Fine dining lunch at The Three Chimneys was very good, we also enjoyed the food at the Uig Hotel and at Dulse & Brose in Portree.

Beautiful cottage set in a peaceful location overlooking the sea. Very homely and comfortable.

Not many eating out options in the area but we did enjoy the Flodigarry Hotel although it was expensive. We felt the cottage should include soap for the shower and washing powder as we’ve never had to purchase these items when staying in self catered accommodation before. Also basics like butter and spreads would be helpful.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th May 2019:

The cottage and location were fantastic! Very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and the view from the kitchen table was truly spectacular! The cottage was close to the major sites we were interested in seeing. We all agreed it was the nicest location on the island. Just wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you for sharing this special home!

Would Recommend: Yes

12th April 2019:

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our trip to Skye. The cottage was immaculate and more than we could've asked for. The handbook was clear at explaining information about the cottage and also very helpful in noting ideas for places to visit, etc. We have absolutely no bad comments about this cottage and would recommend to anyone and everyone!

The best thing to do, I think, would be to drive a car around the isle and discover everything Skye has to offer for yourself. The Old Man of Storr is also a must see, especially if you have great weather!

Would Recommend: Yes

Beautifully located cottage with nothing between it and Staffin bay below. If you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of Portree and experience the peace of this less frequented part of Skye you’ll love Driftwood cottage. It’s exactly as per the pictures on their website. If you have the good weather we did you’ll love the outdoor seating and trestle table for meals/relaxing with a bottle and looking direct out to sea and across to the mainland.

The cottage is situated about 30 minutes North of Portree and we’ll located for the Quiraing, old Man of Storr and Kilt Rock. There are a couple of general stores in staffin but Portree is the best bet for food shopping. The large Co-op located just on the outskirts of Portree on the Dunvegan Road is a better bet than the smaller one that you’ll find in town. No problems with parking either! Bear in mind the cottage only offers a small supply of coffee, tea and sugar (no milk, bread, cooking oil etc) so bear that in mind when planning what to bring/buy en route. Owners are readily available if needed else you have total privacy. Do try the Lochbay restaurant in Stein. Open for lunch and dinner with reasonable prices for a fine dining place. Booking is essential as it only has 18 covers or so and was full when we ate their for a mid week lunch with walk-ins being turned away. You can finder cheaper places to stay without a doubt but the the space, peace, privacy and fantastic views make the added expense worthwhile.

Driftwood cottage is in an idyllic location. With views out to the ocean and surrounded by countryside. Everything you need during your stay is catered for at the cottage. Easy to book and great directions/instructions from the owners. I have no hesitation in recommending Driftwood Cottage.

The fossil museum and Kilt Rock are close by and definitely worth visiting. You must visit Staffin beach, near Staffin slipway, just a few minutes drive away. Best to go when the tide is out in the hope of being able to see the dinosaur footprints. There is a local shop and tea room in Staffin and Portree has lots of places to eat and shops to browse.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th April 2018:

This is such a wonderfull place to stay! The house is perfect and the views are amazing. The Beach is only a 10 minute walk away. We really were sad that we already had to leave and will be back for a longen stay in the future! Thank you very much!!

We will be back :-)

Driftwood Cottage could not have been more perfect! It is well positioned to explore Skye and major sites (30min from Portree, and 1hr from Carbost area). The cottage itself is immaculate and beautifully designed, with incredible views of the ocean to one side and the mountains to the other. It was so perfect that we didn’t want to leave!

The cottage is well situated to the rest of Skye. We highly recommend driving north of the cottage along the Trotternish Pennisula for absolutely unreal views. The Staffin village store has quite a selection of goods or the CoOp in Portree is open until 10pm. Drive to Uig Harbor across the Quiraing (during daylight hours!) for views out of this world and a delicious dinner at the Ferry Inn in Uig.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th March 2018:

Driftwood Cottage was perfect for our stay on Skye. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable with great views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return and recommend to others.

Jenn's Cakes in Dunvegan was a brilliant chance discovery...we'll most definitely go back. Amazing cakes and chocolates! We enjoyed hiking in the Quirang which was virtually on the doorstep of Driftwood Cottage. Check the tides if you want to see the dinosaur footprints on Staffin beach. We'll have to plan to see them next time...

Amazing little cottage with spectacular views. A very cosy, homely house with great facilities and equipment etc. The only minor downside is the poor showerhead water pressure and the expectation by the owners to do all the cleaning yourself on check-out

Go for a walk down to the beach, spend time in Portree (such a cute little town) and visit Kinloch Lodge for amazing food

Would Recommend: Yes

Fabulous stay; extremely comfortable, well appointed, feel good home. Gorgeous views from every aspect. Great location. Loved how light the house felt, even when dismal weather outside! Beautifully dark at night with the black out blinds in bedrooms. Lovely and cosy, the Rayburn is wonderfully efficient! Would love to return and certainly recommend to others.

Two village shops; only used the Mace during our short stay; this is well stocked and staff were friendly. Cottage in a great spot for visiting tourist spots in the north, great walking country.

Would Recommend: Yes

Loved our stay here wish it had been longer as we did not want to leave. View from property is incredible and can walk to beach. It is our new happy place on earth!

Book longer stay. Nice drive north, great scenery, and we stopped for lunch at the Flodigarry restaurant. Food was excellent.

Driftwood Cottage was the most tasteful, best equipped cottage we've stayed in yet. The location (10 minutes from the beach) is fabulous.

The driftwood cottage is just a little piece of heaven. Everything is so perfectly set from the location of the house to room furniture. View of sea from the bedroom is so amazing. My stay was so nice that I was little sad while leaving. I would certainly come back to this cottage frequently! And we all loved Sally's flapjacks ;) Thanks for that sugary treat!
