The Old Croft House was just perfect, immaculately clean, comfortable and in a stunning location. The views from the property were amazing. It was everything we wanted from our visit to Skye. It really is a home from home property and we would definately stay there again. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog, he loved it as much as us.
The Croft was cosy and in a delightful location on the coast. Lovey well equipped kitchen, The woodburner was great on colder evenings. The isolation was wonderful . Truly a place to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet . Loved it ❤️
We had a peaceful and relaxing stay.The cottage was warm and cosy and had everything we needed and more.
Great host who kept us up to date every step of the holiday, including covid 19 information, which the cottage was more than ready for and we had no concerns. The welcome pack was much appreciated after our long drive.
My partner was so excited to have a buzzard visit the garden, who even sat and posed for some amazing photos.
The garden was all enclosed and dog friendly.
Some great walks nearby and the private little beach was special.
Would definitely recommend and if ever in Skye again I wouldnt hesitate to book The Old Croft House Again.
The house is cosy and everything that we hoped for.

About the host
Hosted by Alison Phillips
We have always loved holidaying in Scotland and bought The Old Croft House on a whim when we saw it (as a derelict cottage) and fell in love with it and its wonderful location!
Why they chose this property
Skye is a beautiful island and Sleat is 'the garden of Skye' and aptly named as the greenest part of the island. The cottage is located in Aird, a village on the southerly most tip of Skye and we have amazing views out to Eigg & Rhum & Ardnamurchan. It is a truly magical place to stay & we love it!
What makes this property unique
We go for a rest from the world, peace and tranquility, wild storms, beautiful sunsets and great wildlife & walks.
