23rd November 2024:

We have just returned home from a weeks stay at Hill Cottage and what a place!! The whole experience from start to finish was faultless. The cottage is to the highest of standards and the cleanliness was 100% immaculate. Margaret and David had thought of everything you need even down to fire wood for the log burner which added to the whole experience! The view from the cottage is breath taking and very humbling, as to were the mountains and the wildlife we saw. Margaret and David have contributed to a memory that we will never forget, and if you get the chance to visit this place you must!! I could go on forever but you need to see it for yourself to appreciate just how stunning it really is. Thank you Margaret and David for a the most wonderful experience we’ll be back!!

We visited Skye in November, the weather is quite brutal and changes more than once in a day, so make sure you take lots of warm clothes, we had a meal at the Portree Hotel which was delicious, we highly recommend it. And Portree itself is a lovely little town to visit only 15 minutes drive away from the cottage.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your lovely review and you are very welcome back anytime!

4th October 2024:

We had excellent communication with the owners during the booking process. The cottage was just like a home from home and was very well furnished and fitted out and was very comfortable and cosy. Excellent location with a magnificent view and only a short drive to Portree. We would definitely recommend this cottage.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very glad you enjoyed your stay at Hill Cottage and you are welcome back anytime!

23rd September 2024:

We loved everything about Park Cottage. The cottage was clean comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The setting was almost like a fairy tale with the water vista and sheep grazing right outside our door. Margaret was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We would absolutely recommend this lodging.

There is beauty everywhere! We drove the Trotternish loop, hiked, and shopped a little in Portree. loop

It is important to make reservations in advance for having dinner. We recommend the Edinbane Inn Hotel.

Many thanks and you are welcome back anytime!!

"Living in a postcard" What a beautiful cottage. Hands down the best holiday home we ever rented - and there were a few ;-) Thanks Margaret for making this possible. We have to return one day for a longer stay.

Try to stay long enough to fully enjoy the cottage and the surroundins :-) Skye is amazing. We were renting an EV, so the charger at the house was a big plus for us.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for your very kind review and delighted you all enjoyed Hill Cottage and Skye.

27th July 2024:

Property is excellent, centrally located, beautiful location.

Good eating at Edinbane Inn, The Chippy (Portree) for quick Fish N Chips. An Corran Beach (dinosaur fossils) over-rated (no clues as to where foot prints are located). Sunset photos from Duntulm are well worth it.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks!!

8th July 2024:

Wonderful place we have been two times and enjoyed it very much both times. The place is exceptional and the view is something else and you never tire of it. Great location for touring north Skye and further south. Simply the best self catering cottage we have ever stayed in.

Do your homework on places to go then look at weather and adjust them to maximise your days out. Most cafes have lots of character and offer a unique experience.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for your lovely comments.

23rd June 2024:

A good central location on Skye. Very comfortable, peaceful and private. Margaret was a excellent responsive and proactive host with whom it was lovely to communicate. Very recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

Glad you enjoyed your stay at Park Cottage.

21st June 2024:

The stay at Park Cottage was very easy, Margaret provided excellent directions, the place was ready for us, even a little early, extremely comfortable and homey. Highly recommended

Skye is an incredible place, absolutely beautiful but plane your time carefully it takes a long time to get from one place to another. The cottage is well equipped, in particular ways to make coffee and the coffee is there too!

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks and delighted you enjoyed your stay at Park Cottage and Skye.

16th May 2024:

Margaret and Bill are great hosts and Hill cottage is a wonderful place to stay. There were just the 2 of us, but 4 would be accommodated very comfortably. The cottage is stocked with everything needed to cook for yourselves, but the restaurant options in Portree and the surrounding areas are also excellent! All around a perfect vacation.

There are many good restaurants in Portree -- just about 12 minutes away by car, and a couple more 12 minutes the other direction in Edinbane. The two in Edinbane, Edinbane Lodge and Edinbane Inn, are both remarkable. The Lodge is great for local standards and the Inn is an expensive but amazing higher-end experience. The cottage is in a beautiful location with views up the loch, but the entire island in amazing. We really enjoyed the ferry ride and visit to the island of Raasay. It's quiet and peaceful with great views of the main island, and there's a very nice distillery there. We flew into Inverness and stayed a day on the way in and another on return. We'd highly recommend that approach as Inverness is also beautiful (and different)!

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks indeed for your lovely review and delighted you both enjoyed your time in Skye.

The cottage was immaculately clean and perfectly located with stunning views overlooking the Loch. It felt secluded and remote, however was central to all the places to visit in Skye. By far our favourite place to stay in Scotland, thank you so much !

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your kind comments and very happy you enjoyed your stay at Hill Cottage.

5th September 2023:

The cottage of David & Margaret is fantastic: great location on top of the hill with magnificent views on a loch ! Clean, spacious, with all facilities, even a fireplace ! The decoration is cosy, and we can cook easily with all equipment, spices, etc. David & Margaret are very friendly ! They even offered us some chocolate and coffee from Skye to welcome us. What else could we expect ? We certainly recommand this home far from home, and hope we can come back in the future !

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for your lovely review and we are glad you enjoyed your time in Hill Cottage and Skye.

Beautiful views, clean and comfortable home that we wish was our own. It’s at the end of a small road so it’s very quiet and safe feeling. We simply loved our stay.

We enjoyed hiking Caves of Gold which is an easy walk along the Basalt cliffs next to the sea.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for your lovely review, glad you enjoyed your stay at Park Cottage.

21st June 2023:

Enjoyed our stay, cottage is clean and comfortable, everything you need is there. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway this is the place. Margaret has created a calm oasis on Skye.

It’s a quick trip into Portree, the Co-op for supplies and downtown for lunch or dinner. Boat tours available at the Portree wharf. Drive up to Uig and hike Quiraing, worth the effort. Visit the Uig Pottery studio, operated by 8 talented women.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for your kind comments and suggestions.

Everything was perfect, from the exchanges with Margaret to the charming cottage and its magnificent view.

Absolutely wonderful stay in this roomy well appointed house. So clean and welcoming. The views from all the rooms were lovely. Such a peaceful location with its serene views and sheep and little lambs. Everything we needed was provided. The beds were comfortable. Although we didnt use it, the fire and wood provided wasa nice bonus. Communication with our host was excellent.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th May 2023:

A better cottage you couldn't wish to stay in. The facilities excellent and every room very spacious with an all round panoramic view.

I was amazed how busy Skye is and yet right on your doorstep there is a footpath that takes you to a minor road leading to Aird Point and Loch Snizort. On this walk we saw Cuckoos and a variety of birds, on the shoreline Seals and in the Loch a Black Throated Diver. A short distance away at Skeabost Memorial Hall/Penmore a Pictish Stone and Columba's Island linked by a bridge with a ruined church and the graves of Bishops of the Isles and Clan Chieftains.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for your kind review and delighted you enjoyed your stay at Hill Cottage.

11th May 2023:

We are so happy we chose to stay in this beautiful home rather than in Portree. It completely exceeded our expectations. Meticulously clean, gorgeous scenery, quiet, -everything was spectacular!

Old Man Storr hike, waterfalls along the coast, Fairy pools, several castles/ruins. Beautiful scenery everywhere.

Would Recommend: Yes

Glad you enjoyed your time at Hill Cottage and Skye. Many thanks!

An amazing cottage in a breathtaking location. We had all the facilities we needed in the accommodation and the owner made the stay so easy with very helpful messages and tips to optimise our stay.

Hill Cottage was stunning. The bedrooms and sitting room views were spectacular. The cottage (construction, appliances, decor, etc) were well thought out. Clean. Perfect.

Be prepared for single-track roads. Points-of-interest are not well signed. Owner provided postage-code coordinate of the cottage location (made it easy for our bad GPS to locate).

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for your lovely review and delighted you enjoyed Hill Cottage and Skye.

12th June 2022:

Communication was excellent throughout, everything you would need was there, wonderful setting overlooking the loch and perfectly sited fir exploring the island, warm and welcoming cottage, would definately recommend with no hesitation, and enjoyed being back on Skye

Coral beach is a must, a bit of a walk but well worth it. Neist point, meal out at Bernsdale Inn we’re very very good, but must book in advance, many more dotted around for you to go to

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for your lovely and helpful comments. Delighted you enjoyed your stay and you are welcome back anytime !

11th May 2022:

The house is in a great location and starting point to head out and explore Skye. It's homely, warm and absolutely spotless. It is well equipped with all utensils you need for self catering and has a washing machine which was great having 2 young kids with us. The hosts were lovely and answered any questions we had promptly. Can't wait to return.

Be prepared for all weathers - don't forget your suncream and water proofs! The whole of Skye is beautiful but Fairy Glen and The Fairy Pools are favourites of ours!

Would Recommend: Yes

Great location, and everything was provided for a comfortable stay which we really appreciated. Margaret was responsive and ensured we were able to contact her if we needed anything which was very reassuring. This is a great cottage and well equipped to a high standard.

Apart from the usual tourist attractions such as the Old Man of Storr etc, try Talisker Bay and Glen Brittle for a coastal scene and walks. We also found Fairy Glen which is just outside Uig (not to be confused with the Fairy pools) This is a fantastic aray of mounds from the aftermath of volcanic activity.

Would Recommend: Yes

Glad you enjoyed Park Cottage and Skye and thanks for your tips about some of the other places to visit. You are welcome back anytime.

27th September 2021:

The cottage was perfect for our stay, only 15 mins from Portree and allowing easy access to the North end of Skye.

Plenty of restaurants in easy reach, booking essential ! A walk to up to the Storr and The Quiraing are recommended depending on fitness levels. The Fairy Glen is a magical oplace and not too busy or too strenuous.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for your kind review and delighted you enjoyed your stay at Park Cottage and Skye. A very good tip about booking restaurants in advance!

29th August 2021:

Lovely cottage in a great location. Very friendly and helpful owners, which made us feel very welcome. We would love to return again in the future.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks and you will be very welcome to return.

22nd August 2021:

We stayed for a week and loved every minute. The cottage is very well kept, great facilities and in a brilliant location with a great view, relative silence, but only a 10 minute drive to Portree with whatever shops and services you need. Communication with the owners was easy and there is a great information package provided in the cottage. The cost was also very good value compared to other cottages on the island of similar spec.

Skeabost hotel is only 5 minutes down the road if you fancy fine dining or a round of 9 holes. The location gives you great access to everywhere in the north end of the island, whether its to Dunvegan castle, Neist Point lighthouse, Uig or hiking up to Storr, Quiraing or a more leisurely one to the Fairy Glen.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for your lovely review and I am delighted you enjoyed Park Cottage and Skye. There is a balance on cost and affordability for many and I am happy you mentioned the comparative good value.

22nd August 2021:

Hill Cottage was amazing. It had everything we needed and wanted for our stay. The area was so peaceful and the views were spectacular.

If you want to book a table at one of the numerous fantastic restaurants on Skye, it is a good idea to book well in advance, at least 3 months.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your lovely comments and glad you enjoyed your stay at Hill Cottage and Skye. It is always best to book restaurants in advance. Table capacity is still a bit limited at the moment but should be back to normal in the near future hopefully. That said, always book in advance if at all possible.

The Cottage is remote enough to give you a peaceful stay & close enough to Portree for anything you need.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely comments and I am delighted you enjoyed your stay !

19th July 2021:

The fabulous house is in an amazing sea view location about 10mls northwest from Portree, the main town on the island where you can get all the food supplies you require also does gift shops pubs & cafes etc as well boat trips. Everything is supplied for an extremely comfortable stay. The beds were very comfortable and as it’s in a nice quiet location you get l lovely nights sleep ready to tour the Island. Unfortunately for us the weather was not so kind-You don’t call ithe Misty Island for nothing!!!

Most of the roads are single track so have a designated driver to change with whilst the passengers can admire the views as these narrow demanding roads require full attention especially when we were there it was extremely busy. Enjoy Skye and definitely Hill Cottage. Thank You David & Margaret.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for your kind comments and I am delighted you enjoyed Hill Cottage and the 'Misty' Isle !

13th July 2021:

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 nights. The cottage is in a lovely location. We loved sitting in the window sill with a cup of tea and admiring the view. When it wasn't raining, we had a nice start to the day eating breakfast on the bench. The facilities were really good and we thought the appliances were of good quality. The cottage was really clean and there were plenty of towels and bedding. The host were friendly and there was excellent communication.

You've probably already started researching what to. There's nothing we could add other than take your time, explore and enjoy!

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for your lovely comments and great to hear you mention taking your time. It is so much more relaxing to just stop for a while and take in the surroundings. Glad you enjoyed Park Cottage and Skye !

Park Cottage is situated in Bernisdale which is ideally placed for easy access to Dunvegan, The Quiraing and The Old Man of Storr etc. It was clean and very well equipped with everything you would need.

Park Cottage was a lovely place to stay very cosy and comfortable with a spectacular view. You can tell the owners love for the house. We had a great 3 night stay.

Margaret was very flexible with the booking as we were coming out of lockdown and extremely helpful and friendly throughout our booking and stay.

Such a perfect spot, easily accessible from the main road but you wouldn't know it. Even with the windows open all you could hear was the sheep on the other side of the loch. Couldn't recommend this cottage more, if i ever return to skye, it'll be here.

Went during coronavirus so can't comment on anything but the stunning walks and landscape, I didn't feel like i missed out.

Would Recommend: Yes
