A good way to judge whether a property will be suitable for your self catering holiday is to see what previous guests had to say about their visit. They often provide a deeper insight into features and locations, often highlighting things that we are not aware of. We believe this can only be of benefit to our future visitors.
This is a great holiday rental. If you a re looking for a base camp to explore the area, this is it, look no further.
North Lodge was a very special place. The cottage was simple but very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. It's location was second to none and it was great having access to the castle estate and wildlife just outside the kitchen window. It would have been helpful if the dvd player was compatible with the TV, but alas it wasn't. Hopefully this will be rectified along with up to date house information and especially where to find the switch for the hob! We will be back.

This is our second stay at this fabulous contemporary property located in a very remote area offering breathtaking views on the hills and the snowy Cuillins in the background. We enjoyed observing wildlife such as golden eagles, rabbits and the sheep grazing right up to the deck. One major feature of this place is definitely the sauna which is an ideal way of relaxing after a day out.
Amazing! What a beautiful place. We arrived to sunshine and the first morning watched dolphins (porpoises?) swim across the bay as part of their daily commute. The weather was changeable but every day was like living in a postcard no matter rain wind hail or sun. The cottage was a perfect home from home. Everything we needed and more. A brilliant base for exploring Skye or for rainy days lighting the woodburner and enjoying a jigsaw to the sound of the waves on the beach. We could go on and on about how magical our time was.
A week of peaceful retreat, warm and cosy, quiet. I love the layout of the Croft house, location and views. I don't have any negative feedback, I will return.
Enjoyed our third visit to this lovely cottage, loved the new porch, a great addition and good for watching the varied bird life and the view.
Fantastic week at North Lodge- Everything worked first time. Lovely walks at sunset to watch the Guillemots fly in to the loch to roost next to the herons. We kept the feeders well stocked and were rewarded with red and grey squirrels and all the previously mentioned bids as well as two sightings of goldcrest. Great walks to the beach. Fish van at Leswalt on Thursday afternoon. Very comfortable house and beds. You tube and Netflix a bonus as well as the private gate next to the Lodge. We must return for Autumn colours.
Wow, what a gem of a cottage ! Set in a stunning tranquil spot on the Caledonian canal by Cullochy lock. The cottage felt like home from home, so comfortable and the best equipped kitchen in any rental we've stayed in. We spent many an hour in the sun room watching the many different crafts on the canal from canoes to Large cruisers. Every morning we spotted deer in the garden or on the tow path just outside the cottage. An abundance of different birds visited the bird table and feeders. We saw 3 different pine martens visiting the bird table daily. They even visited in the afternoons too ! Lots of choice for outside seating in the front garden and on the decking, spoilt for choice! Thanks to mark for sorting the heating for us. Weather was fab, high teens, sun and no rain. Lovely to speak to owner Michael who rang to see if everything had been ok during our stay. Special thanks to the ladies at Wilderness cottages, always so helpful. We hope to return again soon. I could quite happily live here ????
What a fantastic stay! The area itself is nestled away from all the touristy busy spots, but with enough people coming and going for the boat trips so you don't feel too remote. If you're looking to unwind then I honestly wouldn't bother with the trip to Old Man of Storr or Fairy Pools when you have unbeatable views from the garden! The cottage has everything you might need and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Just a heads up - the wee Elgol shop is gone so double check you have plenty food as the local CO-OP is half an hour away. Perfect wee getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life
Another great stay at Loch Cottage, weather was incredible and a great time had by all. Thank you!
