This was the best place to stay—a beautiful house, cozy bedrooms, lovely downstairs sitting area with fireplace and dining room, lovely kitchen with everything we needed. I loved the one small bedroom upstairs whose window looks out over the beautiful landscape outside. Lorraine made us feel most welcome. It’s a bit of a drive out to reach the house, but so very worth it. We even had a rainbow and a full harvest moon while we were there.

Very clean, comfortable, authentic croft house in a remote location on the beautiful Isle of Skye. Great place to stay for an extended stay in Skye. We were there for only 2 nights and it wasn’t enough to really explore the island. The owner/host is amazing! She made sure everything we needed was readily available and in good order before we got there.

Our stay was wonderful overall. Loved the remote location. All we saw or heard were the sheep and cows. The walk to Rubha Hunish was great. Another review mentioned that it feels like the end of the world, and it really does. It was nice to talk to Alan the Crofter and pet his family of collies as well.

Wonderful cottage in a stunning landscape

Lorraine’s cottage was the most amazing rental we have ever had. The cottage was charming and authentic, very clean, spacious, well appointed and located in a stunning valley with incredible views, and close to many Skye attractions. The cottage is located next to a sheep farm with literally hundreds of sheep - such an amazing environment especially for the kids. Lorraine was an incredible host, so kind and thoughtful, and wonderful with her recommendations of attractions and restaurants/cafe. My family and I did not want to leave!

This is truly an exceptional home and place to stay. The location in the remote north of Isle of Skye with surrounding farmland and sea views was superb and incredibly peaceful. The house is delightful, spacious, well equipped and we felt right at home. Highly recommend.

Lovely Croft house!

We wanted a place away from it all, and this house fit the bill perfectly! The house was neat and clean and well located for the activities we wanted to do on the Isle. So many sheep everywhere, but that added to the charm!

After following Lorraine’s wonderful directions we made our way to Willie McLeod’s Croft. Everything anyone could need has been thought of. We stopped at the coop on our way so we were able to make meals after exploring Skye. We met Alan who graciously told us about his dogs and sheep :-). We needed some time away from noise and found it. Lorraine and family have done fabulous and loving work to keep the feel of the Croft while renovating it. We had a great getaway.

At the far end of the world is where you will find this gem of a stay. Loved the location and the house which came as advertised. Being that it is so far away, it could use a few more day to day items in the kitchen as it is a long way back into town.

This property is beyond special and like no place we've ever stayed before. Not only is the drive to it AMAZING, but the property itself has a picturesque setting of free range grazing land and views of the sea. Such a welcoming environment and home... including a handwritten note from the property manager. The home has a lovely decor with modern conveniences... but also has a feel of stepping back in time. As charming as can be!!! Rabbits, birds, cows, sheep are all around this area and property, as well as several gorgeous Isle of Skye landmarks. We were teary eyed upon arrival, as well as when time to leave. Just that special of a place! Could not recommend this property more highly!

Comfortable home in stunning, remote location

So serene, beautiful views, cosy home. It is a trek to get to this property for which you will be heartily rewarded but important for guests to be aware of. Lorraine provided great instructions and we found the property easily. Roads on Skye, including up the top end where the home is located have challenges - narrow one lane, many deep potholes etc. The home was well equipped, cosy, warm and comfortable. You would be advised to bring food supplies to enjoy eating at home and enjoying the absolute serenity. We had gorgeous lambs and sheep for company Communication with Lorraine was easy and excellent. We loved our stay here.
