This is truly an exceptional home and place to stay. The location in the remote north of Isle of Skye with surrounding farmland and sea views was superb and incredibly peaceful. The house is delightful, spacious, well equipped and we felt right at home. Highly recommend.

Very cool place

At the far end of the world is where you will find this gem of a stay. Loved the location and the house which came as advertised. Being that it is so far away, it could use a few more day to day items in the kitchen as it is a long way back into town.

Lovely stay

The home is in a beautiful area of the Scottish Highlands. I felt we got to experience a small piece of what it would be like to live in such a beautiful area. So many beautiful areas to walk nearby. The place itself was perfect, cozy and had everything we needed. And the owner is very nice and communicative.

Wonderful place to enjoy your holiday

This was our first time in Scotland and we learned really quick how different the roads are. Thanks to being able to stay in this location we were able to do so all the hikes we planned to do.The house is super spacious, a rarely in the UK. The surroundings are so peaceful and the view is magnificent. If you are a lover of nature, you will not be disappointed.

After following Lorraine’s wonderful directions we made our way to Willie McLeod’s Croft. Everything anyone could need has been thought of. We stopped at the coop on our way so we were able to make meals after exploring Skye. We met Alan who graciously told us about his dogs and sheep :-). We needed some time away from noise and found it. Lorraine and family have done fabulous and loving work to keep the feel of the Croft while renovating it. We had a great getaway.

Quaint

The house is very quaint. You are surrounded by sheep, rabbits and sweeping views. Though the house looks old it is up to date inside. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would come back to enjoy the peace. If you’re lucky, Alan the crofter will come by and talk with you about his life farming sheep and raising Birder Collies.

A peaceful stay in Skye

We very much enjoyed staying at Lorraine's place. The cottage is well maintained. There was even a hand written note when we arrived. We didn't get his name, but a nice shepherd minds his sheeps in the area, with whom whe learned about farming and croft life. name name but was very lovely.

Amazing location

Lovely house to stay in with friends. Really enjoyed sitting in front of the fire in the evening. Host was very accommodating when we needed supplies. Our friends commented on the noise from the water heater in their bedroom and the water flow in the shower is quite weak. Apart from that, all good.

Comfortable home in stunning, remote location

So serene, beautiful views, cosy home. It is a trek to get to this property for which you will be heartily rewarded but important for guests to be aware of. Lorraine provided great instructions and we found the property easily. Roads on Skye, including up the top end where the home is located have challenges - narrow one lane, many deep potholes etc. The home was well equipped, cosy, warm and comfortable. You would be advised to bring food supplies to enjoy eating at home and enjoying the absolute serenity. We had gorgeous lambs and sheep for company Communication with Lorraine was easy and excellent. We loved our stay here.

This property is beyond special and like no place we've ever stayed before. Not only is the drive to it AMAZING, but the property itself has a picturesque setting of free range grazing land and views of the sea. Such a welcoming environment and home... including a handwritten note from the property manager. The home has a lovely decor with modern conveniences... but also has a feel of stepping back in time. As charming as can be!!! Rabbits, birds, cows, sheep are all around this area and property, as well as several gorgeous Isle of Skye landmarks. We were teary eyed upon arrival, as well as when time to leave. Just that special of a place! Could not recommend this property more highly!
