A lovely old cottage in a beautiful location. Everything we needed for a great holiday. Plenty of instructions provided for everything.
The driveway down is narrow but in very good condition and no problem to drive down. Plenty room at the house for parking.
A fault occurred with the raeburn and was sorted very quickly by the owner. Great service.
We stayed in Mathesons Croft over Christmas and what a joy to have found this beautiful place. We arrived in the dark and managed the track leading to the Croft fine, you just have to take it easy. The views in the morning where just "Wow"
We enjoyed the open fire especially but altogether the Croft has everything you need. We managed the Range cooker with ease and our Christmas dinner turned out perfect!
There's so much to see and do even in December and a little gem we found was Coral Beach near Plockton, look for the pink coral on the beach, its beautiful! The walk down is a bit steep - just for anyone with walking difficulties to bear in mind.
We were very sad to leave our tranquil hideaway and return to normality.
We had a very peaceful and restful week at Matheson's Croft House and felt very comfortable in the house. Cooking with the Rayburn proved to be an art form, having never used one before. However, we did get there and the heat, even on a low setting, was sufficient to keep us cosy and warm and we were able to dispense with the microwave. This property has a great 'loo with a view', our bed was very comfortable and we slept really well. The only downside for us is that the garden has grown a lot and so does obscure some of the loch views from the house (not from upstairs), but this is something that could soon be sorted.
Easy to get to Skye and lots of interesting places to visit and walk in the area.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your recent stay at Matheson's Croft House. We are delighted to hear you had a peaceful and restful week. The owner has now confirmed the trees and bushes have been cut back, to make the most of the stunning views.
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.
The cottage is lovely, isolated and with beautiful views on the Loch from the garden, from the first floor and along the trail leading to the beach (starting on the back of the cottage, next to the fuel tank).
Warm, well equipped, very clean. We had great fun cooking with the AGA kitchen. The garden was in full bloom with bluebells, azaleas and rhododendrons. We spotted roe deer in the garden and along the road leading to the cottage (be aware when driving along ). Highly recommended!
Superb location and the cottage (croft) is well equipped. Beautiful views across the loch. Cooking with the Aga was fun and a bit of an art form. The last 50m of track looks challenging but is easily passable. It was an ideal base for exploring Skye. One minor plea, a small welcome pack of tea/coffee and milk would welcome and is common amongst other properties of this standard.
