Absolutely fantastic location and gorgeous view from the property. It was extremely clean, very spacious yet cosy living space on the top floor has enough room for kids to just lie on the carpet and play to their hearts content. Kitchen has all the amenities needed. saw a lot of Jelly fish (June end/July) in the water so please take care. Good point for short stay. Isle of Skye locations are 2-3hrs, Loch Ness 2 hrs. Makes it ideal if you have a car and plan to roam north of Scotland.

Wonderful place to stay

We loved our weeklong stay in this comfortable home. Most of our days were spent hiking on the Isle of Skye and returning to cook dinner and enjoy eating with the beautiful views from the enormous picture window in living/dining room. The home had everything we needed. Loved that the location was quiet, beautiful, and central to the things we wanted to see and do. A wonderful place to stay!

A week spent in this delightful cottage was a perfect getaway to recharge our batteries. Sitting in the spacious open plan sitting room/ kitchen looking over the bay was a wonderful way to unwind. All our needs were catered for and good restaurants were a short drive away.

beautiful and near skye

it's a beautiful place especially for kids. the house isn't that modern and in the kitchen there isn't enough cutlery (small spoons, small knifes to cut cheese and veggies) for a group of eight. the view is great and the location to visit the isle of skye and surrounding is perfect.

Lovely stay at Iona cottage.

Antonina was very helpful with rearranging dates due to Covid and delaying the final payment until the situation was clearer. The house was lovely. Plenty of seating for 2 family’s with teenagers. View from the house was spectacular. Lovely walking available from the house, and only 10 minutes drive to Skye.

Perfect location

Lovely home in a perfect location. Away from it all but close to Eilean Donan castle, Kyle of Lochalsh and over the sea (bridge)to Skye. Also the Applecross peninsula - what a fabulous road. Although you could have just sat in the house all day just looking at the view. Saw porpoises, seals and otters from the house.Didn’t want to leave.

Perfect Isle of Skye location

We were a group of 8 along with a 1 1/2 yr old. The house was a great size for all of us. The view every morning from the huge open living room was beautiful. The nature walk nearby was so pretty. Easy way to get back on the road to Skye and 10 min from Eileen Donan. Would love to stay here again. Thank you!
