potholes on the road enroute from fairy bridge- (I know this is absolutely nothing to do with the Bitacora owner), but made a slow last hop of the journey. We found the approach from the top road via the old church better.

Super quiet picturesque location clean warm, well maintained with everything you could need. Great local walk to waternish point 3hrs (take binoculars and see seals). 30 mins to Portree for supermarket to stock up on the way. Skyeskyns Yurt, down the lane, served wonderful cake.

The driveway is a challenge and there was no internet, T.V. or radio as no reception the whole week.

Very remote but beautiful location. Spacious, comfortable house. So quiet and peaceful.

The internet at the property was poor and unreliable. I strongly encourage the owners to upgrade the internet at the property. Its important, especially for foreign visitors to have good internet. Its probably the only drawback from receiving excellent scoring from us.

A remote location, quiet and very picturesque. The three bed cottage is well equipped for a family of up to five overlooking Ardmore Bay. The layout having a separate living & dining offers families to have simultaneous activities at the same time.

It is quite remote . It is on hill . U definitely need car , preferably 4/4 .you need car anyway to commute on isle of sky from point A to point B . But the property location add further distance . No doubt , you need to travel 30 min at least for groceries . Michelin star restoring is close but very difficult to get table . So , u need to go and get groceries and make your own tea .

Immaculately clean , well equipped . Very easy to get hold of owner and he even came back to give us cooking oil on first day . Beautiful surroundings .

WiFi connection wasn't great, in case you were thinking of a working holiday. The host could have communicated the location of the accommodation beforehand as post-code doesn't take you to the right space. The slope going up to the house is very steep, and the gravel make it even more tricky to get up the slope, my car wheels were spinning and smoking.

The location was amazing, such beautiful views. Nice little touches, i.e. providing laundry detergent, washing up liquid, hiking maps. Host was very responsive.

slower WiFi, one BBC channel.

Excellent view, spacious new house, kind and accommodating homeowner, the most beautiful scenery on the entire Isle of Skye, slower WiFi, one BBC channel, amazing close-up view of sheep and cattle farming, an unforgettable and beautiful holiday...

No contact with owner. Tried phoning a couple of times, although in fairness didnt leave a message. Would have appreciated a bit of honest guidance on the TV situation (of which there are three on site) No aerial signal, no Wi fi to speak of and main TV only works with a Sky card (which we didnt have). Sky did allow viewing of 4/5 channels, so not a complete disaster. Also would have liked notes on where we can walk, as everywhere is fenced off other than the road. Be warned to gravel drive is very steep indeed, but we had no problem with it.

Absulutely stunning location. Very remote, so suggest clients are warned in advance to arrive equipped with plenty of provisions. It is 25 miles to the nearest supermarket, and 9 miles to the village store. Lovely large bungalow, plenty of space. Liked hard floor instead of carpet. The whole place felt clean. Comfy bed. Great to be able to sit out at the picnic bench or gaze out of the living room window, watching the sun go down. Magical.

There was nothing I didn’t like about the house. Very comfortable and warm. Minor suggestions would be more kitchen utensils like a grater and frying pan/wok.

The house is in the most amazing location - just about at the end of the Waternish peninsula. Views and serenity you dream about.

The approach road condition to the property is not good. The road needs to be repaired urgently.

The property location is excellent. The location itself is a good viewpoint.

The goat track leading to the property is a test for all cars suspension and if anyone from the council reads this perhaps they could spare some tarmac!

Stunning location in a remote area away from the real world. Watching 2 sea eagles hunting was a real bonus along with seeing the milky way in a crystal clear dark sky. If you just want to relax this is the ideal place.

Nothing. It’s superb.

The location. It is quite remote, which for us was a bonus as isolation in nature is often desired. The water views are outstanding, and we would argue that the photos that are part of the property description do not do it justice! It is a very comfortable space with a wonderful living room that became the central focus of our time spent while in the house. It is fully stocked with most everything that a rental property can offer. The owner has a booklet with highly relevant and useful information about sights to see, nearest grocery stores, important phone numbers, etc.

Never could figure out the television. Also tried to locate a place on Skye to purchase dvds to play on the dvd player but there is no where to buy them. So evenings were quiet, but would have loved for the kids to have been able to relax at night with a show or movie.

lovely home

Too secluded for us. Booking.com address brought us to a different property nearby but we found Bitacora on google maps. The host was not at the property for check in as we expected but we received an email just after we arrived to let us know where the keys were. The house manual should be updated to include TV/ Wifi instructions.

Lovely warm spacious house with great view over Ardmore bay. The house was equipped with cleaning materials, toiletries, tea/coffee and biscuits, salt&pepper - nice touches. Secluded location.

The main trouble was that the owner told us that a unremovable stain was found on the drawer of a bedside unit in the master bedroom and accused us of causing the dirt on 22 June 1023. The owner said that we would be charged for the repair cost. While we had certainly not done anything causing the so call "stain", we had checked out of the apartment on 14 June 2023. We wonder what happened after we left and whether the stein was there when we checked in! We are troubled and annoyed. Future guests may consider checking carefully all around to notice if there are any problems, or even take photos as a precaution. I have been using booking.com for many years to book accommodation at various countries and it is the first time that I have come across an accuse by an owner. We are greatly disappointed by the unreasonable accuse and claim. We would certainly reflect our disappointment and experience through various means as well as lodging a complaint towards the unreasonable treatment on us. Furthermore, the water outlet in the separate bath room was not functioning well, resulting in some flooding and slippery floor. There were many midges outside the house and their bites caused much discomfort to us.

Remote location with good view, quiet：no disturbance and apparently few cars passed by, large rooms with plenty of space, good kitchen equipment, pleasant decoration, all on ground floor no need to climb stairs, washing machine, and good wifi.

In hindsight the house is very remote. But the view is spectacular and made up for it. It is a long drive though from any part of the island and the roads to it are terrible. On our arrival day we got a disturbing call that the house was not ready and that the owner had tried to cancel it but due to booking.com that hasn’t come through. We booked at the 27th of april paid the full amount on the 17th of may and arrived on the 31st. How come you just then realize (probably because i sent a message at what estimated time we intended to arrive) after 35 days that your cancellation hadn’t come through. And then the request. Please come as late as possible because I have other things to do today. That is not funny at all and very disturbing since we don’t het have any alternative then to agree. That is was a real bummer to our holiday. Also to hot water supply doesn’t allow you to fill up the jacuzzi so that is worthless also.

What you see is what you get.

-Internet is so slow that we were not able to use our laptop to plan next day activities -the abstraction hood kept dripping oil (I wiped and cleaned it but next morning it was still there (this was on day of arrival not our cooking) -in the "house" booklet is not advised how to get hot water (we found that instruction later) -the shower drainage in the main bathroom does run very slow, creating a huge pool when showering -due to the surface I struggle on initial arrival up the driveway (wheel spin)

A spacious cottage, stunning views over the bay and Atlantic (outer Hebrides) , good beds, fantastic wildlife (many birds) no lights nor sound in the wide surrounding (other than the wind - birds and sheep)
