Cozy and quiet
Comfortable bed with nice bed linen. We found the address a bit confusing to find. Easy parking, although the turn into driveway is tight in one direction. Lovely view. Not far from Portree. Biscuits were nice but would have preferred real milk instead of sachets that were provided. Host was responsive.

Lovely peaceful cottage, great value for money
The cottage was sparkling clean and the views of the river were beautiful. There was everything you needed to cook with available and the co-op supermarket in Portree a 5 minute drive away is more than adequate. There are two bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs which is good if anyone has mobility issues. Everything worked perfectly including the heating, WiFi and shower. Tip: look out for the sign that says "Deas Graemar Croft no 4 Crepigill" by the road and keep driving, then you'll see the River View Cottage sign.

The River View Cottage in Skeabost
The River View Cottage on The Isle of Skye in very beautiful surroundings. It is remote and quiet, but easily accessible from the main road A850. The cottage is very clean with a wonderfully appointed kitchen for those who enjoy their home cooking. Turn left from the driveway on A850 and it's a 7 minute drive to Portree, with a large CO OP supermarket that carries a selection equal to a large city market. We will definitely stay in this cottage again, should we plan a 4th vacation to Skye.

Hidden Gem
This traditional Croft cottage was well apportioned and has a picturesque location. The kids Chen was well well stocked with the necessary pots, plates, etc. The only suggestion we had would be to increase the signage for the property on the road, by at least 20 times. The driveway is shared with a neighbor and the sign is easily overlooked. However, signage aside, you couldn’t hope to have a more gracious hostess than Agnes. She was prompt with all communications and checked to be sure we had settled in. Great stay and many happy memories.

I’ve enjoyed your lovely property it was a pleasure to stay in, we had everything that was needed and it was beautiful and clean. The location was great close run to Portree and easy travel to other locations we were interested in. The views were spectacular we will highly recommend this venue for other stays. Our only problem was finding the correct driveway in the dark. Kim

A lovey cottage stay
This was the perfect stay for our Isle of Skye trip. It was clean, cozy and charming and the hosts were kind and accommodating. It had everything we needed and then some. We loved how cozy the living room was with the electric fireplace. In addition, waking up to the beautiful views and saying good morning to our sheep neighbors made it feel even more cozy. The location was prime since we weren’t far from Portree and other main sites. I would recommend saying here.

We had a lively time at the River View Cottage. The host was easy to communicate with and made sure we were comfortable during out stay. The cottage was well appointed and we loved to 10 minute commute to Portree. This cottage is located within 30mins of most of the major attractions on Skye.

Excellent out of main town of Portree cottage
The cottage just out of Portree was an excellent home base for our family of four for three days on the Isle of Skye. The kitchen was very well-equipped and bedrooms were roomy. The shower was a little unusual but there were very good instructions on how to use it, so no issues with that at all. Ample parking. Agnes was great with communication and there were some cookies, coffee, tea and hot chocolate for us - which we enjoyed! We had a slight issue finding the place from the GPS directions were were given, but didn't take too long to find the right location. We had no problems at all with our stay and would recommend it to anyone.

Lovely little private cottage with river view.
We loved our stay at the river view cottage near Portree. It had everything we needed for our 3 nights stay and served as a great base for exploring the isle of Skye. It’s so nice to have a quiet place to retreat to after a day out on the very heavily touristed isle. We had the basics for making simple meals which turned out to be essential since Portree is so crowded and it’s difficult to find a restaurant with an opening. Having a washing machine was a definite advantage since most trails were muddy. The little heating stove was a welcome treat when returning home cold and wet. The house was immaculate and quite comfortable. I would highly recommend it!

Clean and well-fitted cottage, well-situated about 10 minutes outside of Portree on the road to Dunvegan. Lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Agnes was very attentive and easy to deal with. Great value if you are looking for a comfortable home-base to explore the island.

Great stay. Fantastic house in a perfect, central location to explore the Isle of Skye. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials to prepare meals. There are two coffee presses which are a nice alternative to the instant coffee at the hotels. Overall great experience!
