This place is just delightful we were extremely lucky to grab 3 nights here in what was an already busy booking period due to relaxation of Covid rules and the rush for staycations. Normally when were away, we minimise the time we spend indoors and try to maximise our time exploring; unfortunately when we arrived at The Crofters House the weather was atrocious but we certainly didnt feel like we were wasting our time spending hours here in fact we cancelled our dinner reservation in Portree one night in favour of eating in as the house is such a cosy and inviting space. The kitchen has a great range of pots, pans and utensils, everything you need for a full roast dinner or anything else you fancy making. In the outhouse, theres a washing machine and tumble dryer. Pretty much everything you need is in this house, almost a home from home. Theres also a great range of cleaning supplies, however, be advised youll need to bring your own tea, coffee, milk etc as this is not supplied. Also, bring a bag of logs and treat yourself to using the toasty log burner. We live in what we thought was a quiet village, but this place really is quiet. Open the Velux in the bedroom at night and enjoy not only really fresh air but the sound of owls, and awake to the sound of bird song and sheep (the nearest you get to rush hour here is a passing sheep and its lambs) a countryside lovers dream indeed! If you can, you really should book this place now.

A lovely few days stay at the Crofters House which is a cosy hideaway just above a quiet bay. We saw seals in the shallow waters of the bay everyday which was really magical. The house itself is perfect for two and considering it's winter it heated up super quick, especially with the fire. The location is really central to the island so you can reach all the main sites within about 30 mins and supermarket in Portree 5 mins away. It's a lovely place to explore Skye from and to come back to in the evenings and get cosy.
