We were in cottage 1 and it was so lovely, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay for a family of 4. The host is friendly and we would definitely stay here again.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st August 2023:

Un très joli endroit, confortable et meublé avec goût. Un seul regret pour nous : ne pas en avoir profité plus longtemps. J’espère que nous pourrons y revenir un jour! Et un grand merci à Joséphine pour sa gentillesse.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th August 2023:

Superb place to stay and explore the Isle of Skye! Croft 4 is homely, clean and like a home from home.

Fairy pools are a must!

Would Recommend: Yes

9th July 2023:

We loved everything about this self-catering accommodation. Large living area, beautifully-appointed kitchen, excellent selection of books about Scotland. The towels were oversized and plush, and linens were high-quality. We arrived by tow truck due to a flat tire. When the owner, Josephine, found out we had not eaten yet, she called some restaurants to see if she could get us reservations. Unfortunately, she could not. Then she went even more above and beyond by taking my husband to the local co-op so we could have something for dinner. The next morning, she tried to get the cleaning person to come later so we would have more time before check-out, but the person already had a tight schedule and could not change her routine. I can't say enough good things about this establishment. Josephine is lovely. You will not be disappointed.

Dear Onraet, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Croft4 Cottages. We are so pleased with your wonderful review and that you all had a lovely time ! Thank you ! We are a small accommodation provider and our guests mean everything to us. Kind Regards, Josephine Croft4

16th May 2023:

A lovely lady who is always cheerful and helpful. The cottage is clean and comfortable with all the facilities you need. We definitely recommend either of the two cottages as we have stayed in both. They are a great base from which to explore the island.

From where the cottage is situated you are close to roads that will take you all over Skye. The cottage is close to the Cuillins but enough of a distance away to have quiet, relaxing time when you need it. Red Skye restaurant is superb but a little more expensive. Great pizzas in the Aros centre near Portree. Good local shops in Broadford if you intend to eat in.

Would Recommend: Yes

Dear Clark, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Croft4. We are so pleased you all loved your stay and enjoyed Skye as a whole. Thank you for such a wonderful review, we are so overjoyed ! Kind Regards, Josephine Croft4

21st April 2022:

Very cosy and clean. Plenty of space inside and outside for 4 people and a large car (SUV). All facilities, including heating, in perfect working order, and easy to use also for foreigners. The host provides basic supplies (sugar, coffee, tea, fresh milk, toiletries, soap and tablets for washing machine and dishwasher).

Very convenient for Sleat Peninsula, Elgol, Minginish Peninsula; only 40 minutes drive to Portree. Small Co-op in Broadford (2 minutes drive) Elgol and Sleat Peninsula, especially its northern coast are very beautiful and absolutely not crowded. We spent some peaceful hours on the beach at Ord and Taskavaig, very recommended for view and peace. The drive to Aird of Sleat offers some breathtaking views; at the end of the road there is an old church with a shop selling beautiful prints and watercolours. Closes at 5. Fairy Pools: skippable. Fairy Glen: remote and silent, definitely worth the visit. Kylerhea Wildlife Hide: recommended; the drive takes in a lot of views; the walk among the woods to the hide is very pleasant. Bring binoculars. The best windows for observing the beach (where the otters make their apeearance) are on the left; face masks required inside the hide.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th April 2022:

Spotless, well appointed accommodation. It had everything we needed for our stay. A website link was provided in advance with info about the cottage and local area.Would definitely recommend.

In our short stay we managed to enjoy the Fairy Pools, Portree, dinosaur footprints at Corran Beach, and Ashaig Beach. All worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th October 2021:

House was very homely and very, very clean. Beds were comfy. Free parking and their was even some free local whisky for us on arrival.

24th September 2021:

Property was advertised with a washer dryer which required as we are on a 3 week plus trip. There was no dryer which was an inconvenience. Everything else about the property was good.

The walk up to the Fairy Pools was amazing.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th September 2021:

Really the perfect location for exploring the Isle of Skye. Everything you could need is in the cottage including a table dryer which saved us after a very wet trip to see the fairy pools. Very clean and comfortable beds. Would definitely come back

Would Recommend: Yes

13th September 2021:

We stayed in Cottage 2 at Croft4 (three people & a dog) in September 2021 and we had a lovely stay. Josephine was very helpful and kindly moved our booking a number of times due to covid restrictions. The Cottage was spacious and very clean, and the location was handy for supplies and places to grab coffee. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th August 2021:

The apartment has all the necessities that we need, from the kitchen utensils to bathroom amenities . The place is very clean and spotless. Host is very quick to respond to our queries and accommodating. She even made the effort to meet us before we left. Location is quiet and a short drive to get to the shops.

10th August 2021:

A beautifully stylish cottage, very tastefully decorated with everything that we needed. The hosts were fabulous, even offering us fresh fish caught that day. Thank you for our stay.

We found The Claymore pub restaurant very nice and within walking distance. We also enjoyed a great pizza at Cafe Sia in Broadford. If you want to go on a boat trip, book early as we missed out on this. Hike the Quirang it’s awesome!

Would Recommend: Yes

15th July 2021:

Lovely hosts, friendly and helpful, and reliably professional. The cottage is well equipped with every basic requirement and more -- including welcoming bouquet of flowers on the kitchen table, and a mini decanter of Talisker whisky (famous single malt whisky made on Skye) with tasting glasses. Really welcoming, cosy and contemporary cottage!

The cottage is in a thriving village area called Broadford, which has lots of excellent restaurants, pubs and cafes, as well as a huge Co-op supermarket and petrol station that's handy for self-catering and drivers. Broadford is on the coast facing Rasaay and Scalpay, so the views are beautiful. This is an area that's handy for accessing the Cuillin mountain range and Sleat peninsula.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay at Croft4. WE are so pleased that you all enjoyed your stay , the cottage and the local area. We hope you may return to stay with us again some time in the future, thank you for your kind words but most of all what we want is for guests to have wonderful stay ! Kind Regards, Josephine Croft4

4th July 2021:

Very happy with everything in the Croft. Perhaps the barbecue/outside sitting area could have been better! I would also have liked to have known that people could bring their pets but having said that, there was nothing in the Croft to suggest that animals had been there, it was spotless. Maybe I just missed this information. Many thanks Josephine.

See as much of the Island as possible, the scenery is just fabulous and we found all drivers very polite on the roads, especially ‘single track roads’.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, we are so pleased to hear that you all enjoyed your stay and the cottage ! We have outdoor plans for a new covered modern seating area and this had to be put on hold due to COVID and the knock on effect, but it is the plans for 2022. We agree that an upgraded seating and outdoor space would really add to guests stay. WE hope you may come back and stay with us and visit Skye again in the future. Kind Regards, Josephine - Croft4

26th May 2021:

The apartment feels like a home away from home. All the things you need are on hand and you get all the comfort you need. It is also dog-friendly which was a must for us. Everything is within an hour, hour Fifteen from the apartment. If you don't mind driving a bit and enjoying the scenery I would highly recommend croft 4.

The croft 4 platform (hostfully) is really helpful to get to know the isle.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th May 2021:

Croft 4 is a spotlessly clean property. We really enjoyed our stay. Beds were very comfortable. The only very small negative point we could make is that the cutlery provided could have been a bit more extensive.

We had a lovely meal at the Red Skye restaurant, and the Co-op in Broadford provides a wide range of supplies for self catering.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay at Croft4. We are so glad that you all had a lovely time and hope you may return again some time in the future. Thank you for the constructive comment regarding the cutlery, I will look at this going forward. Kind Regards, Josephine - Croft4

easy to deal with and very helpful

we did mini bus tour which helped see all sights in one day. We liked Red Skye restaurant.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th October 2020:

It was our first time on Skye and we were lucky enough to have made an excellent choice with Croft 4. It was impeccably clean, very modern, with everything you needed for self catering, right down to washing machine tablets, shampoo/ conditioner etc. Lots of nice touches, like flowers on the table, milk/coffee/tea etc for a cuppa and a whisky dram. Covid meant no brochures or books but that wasn't a problem and we saw Josephine (host) at a distance to point us in the right direction. Location is ideal as it's just a mile from Broadford village and very easy to get around the whole island.

You can buy everything you need in Broadford, the Top Shop is good and there's a big Co-op. Nice little craft places too. We ate out at the Claymore and the Red Skye restaurants so we could walk to them (approx 1 mile) and could both enjoy a drink. Excellent food and atmosphere. Claymore's langoustines were superb. We did an Isle of Skye wildlife tour, excellent way to see wildlife and find our way round the island a bit, and on the final day our quest to see sea eagles close up was granted with Dan at Stardust Boat Trips - incredible viewing of these fantastic birds. Definitely need a car to get around though. Make a visit to Asahaig beach at low tide, it is beautiful and a drive to Elgol is worthwhile. Best day for stunning scenery though was drive right up round the north of the island, past Staffin, back down round Uig - breathtaking scenery and very diverse and different from the south of the island. We'll be back to explore some more.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2020:

This place wa ideal for the two of us, just right in terms of space for a 2 night stop off on skye. It had everything you needed. In terms of covid precautions I felt very comfortable being at the most vulnerable in society. I came prepared to clean clean and clean but we could tell it was already done to a very high standard. Well done and thank you

Would Recommend: Yes

14th September 2020:

I could wax lyrical about Croft4! We stayed 4 places on a recent holiday around Scotland and Croft4 was our absolute favourite. Superb COVID measures in place and the apartment was spotless on arrival. Excellent kitchen facilities, lovely bathroom and comfortable sofa. Beautiful bed linen and fluffy towels. There was even a face cloth which is something I love. Really lovely toiletries too. Milk in the fridge for our first cuppa on arrival and Talisker before bed. Great fresh coffee in the morning. What’s not to like. Josephine very prompt and efficient when contacting. I cannot recommend Croft4 highly enough.

Fabulous food at The Hebridean Inn. Brilliant walk - The Old Man of Storr

Would Recommend: Yes

5th September 2020:

Beautiful cottage with attention paid to every detail. The beds were super comfy, plenty of fluffy towels for the bathrooms and everything you need for self catering in the kitchen. We loved our stay on Skye made extra special by coming back each evening to our little bit of luxury in the cottage to cosy up out of the weather. We especially loved watching the storms roll across the sea from the bedroom skylights.

A trip across the island to the fairy pools is a must. Only a few minutes drive away is the Claymore Restaurant where we had a lovely meal. There is a Co-op for food shopping five minutes drive from the accommodation.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th July 2020:

Lovely young friendly & professional hosts on hand if you need them. The cottage was in a great location close to the bridge and the shops so you can pop out for last minute supplies, it was super clean and clearly had a fresh coat of paint, a brand new bathroom and all the that you needed for a home from home. I particularly loved the fresh ground coffee for the cafetière but the highlight for me was the fluffiest bath towels I’ve ever experienced, and we’ve stayed in a lot of hotels!

The cottage is much improved after the recent renovations. We enjoyed a very comfortable stay. Every thing was very clean.

Host was simply elegant and very warm welcoming and made the stay extremely comfortable. Would recommend to stay here for everyone who decides to go to isle of Skye. It’s a good location and scenes are breathtaking.

Lots of restaurants in 10-15 min driving distance. Must do are the Three Chimneys however must advise atleast a week of advance reservation. Sia Cafe is also very good as is a Kyle Chinese Take Away. Kinloch Lodge has a renowned restaurant by Claire MacDonald.

Lovely surroundings and the cottage was well maintained and beautifully decorated. Nice touches like a flask of local whisky and milk in the 'fridge, tea bags and coffee in stock. We got supplies in the Co-op up the road for our stay. When we arrived we found that the beds were made up as a double and two singles for us four female friends, but when asked, there was no problem changing the bed for us to two more singles. Lovely friendly host!

We went to Red Skye restaurant as recommended by our host and had a very good meal. The next day we went to the Claymore Restaurant in the other direction and had another good fish meal. We also saw Armadale Castle, the Old Man of Stor, Dunvegan Castle and the coral beach, and stopped for coffee at Portree. Had we more time we would have visited more places and were delighted in those we saw.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th April 2019:

A lovely place to stay in Skye which is fairly close to the Skye Bridge and the Ferry. The cottage was cosy, clean and very comfortable and the host was lovely and very welcoming.

Excellent location and easy to find. Fantastic reception and facility was 1st class.

Since we had limited time, we utilized the info present in the unit. Fantastic place and good introductory info supplied by and explained by our hostess. We were fortunate to have a 2hr trip on the boat in porter. Well worth the visit and you are close to “the odd man of store” so you can cover both in the one day. Lovely restaurant in the centre of Porter next to the central parking next to the police station.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th February 2019:

Perfectly positioned for all the best that Skye has to offer, comfortable and welcoming, whatever the weather.

Cafe Sia is excellent, and the Broadford Hotel is good for pub grub and a pint. The scenery on Skye lives up to its reputation - was especially good when we were there as there was snow on the mountain tops, and the fact that it had just been raining heavily for a few days meant that there were waterfalls everywhere and the rivers ran strong - wonderful!

A very enjoyable experience from start to finish. Josephine you have it bang on. You showed an interest in us and our day without being overbearing and the cottage was lovely. Very clean, cosy and well equipped. Could not recommend the cottage and yourself as a host enough. Thanks very much!

Would Recommend: Yes

27th September 2018:

Difficult to comment as we know you are about to do a full refurb.... Despite the weather we really enjoyed staying at Tigh Holm. Welcome and personal attention excellent and good local knowledge, especially considering how long you have actually had the property.. We feel very guilty that the bathroom seemed to disintegrate around us. Suggestions would be that plates, glasses, cutlery etc were OK for 2 of us but would not really be enough for 4 people. Decent size dessert spoons would be good... the ones provided were huge! Some thought to people with mobility problems... as discussed when we were there. Look forward to seeing the improvements next year if you will have us back.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2018:

Absolutely brilliant and welcomey.

It is a really good idea to rent a car, so that you don not depend on busses, and get to see a lot more of the Isle.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th September 2018:

Josephine is a real good and friendly host. If anything is not available she will do anything to be helpfull.

The cottage was a very nice place to stay and explore the Isle of Skye.

Josephine provided an excellent little book about walks on Skye with very nice walks off the beaten track (our favourite was the tidal island of Oronsay).

Would Recommend: Yes

30th July 2018:

This is a simple but very pleasant cottage in a great location - easy to get to, near good shops and many restaurants and pubs. Cottage has all you need, and is well kept. The new owner is charming and sincere and full of enthusiasm and brilliant ideas for redecorating and improving things - so I am sure the cottage and its little garden will become ever more charming over the next few months and especially for next season.

Recommend nearby in Broadford wonderful garden and walk alongside the shore out to the jetty - then a glass of Drambuie from the Broadford Inn (legend tells it is the original home of Drambuie). Fabulous walks everywhere but also recommend simple one a few miles west and alongside the shore of Loch Slapin to the deserted villages of Suisnish and Boreaig.

Would Recommend: Yes

Good self-catering accommodation. We were 2 which was fine, might be a little cramped with 4 adults
