This was a lovely place to stay and in a good position to visit other areas of Skye. It was spacious and well equipped and very cosy, with the log burner quickly warming the place on a cool evening. The owner was great at communication and quickly solved a small issue with the WiFi. A good find!

Perfect location for us, in the Sleat Peninsula, with easy access to Broadford for shops and the excellent Shellfish Shack. Great dog walks and wonderful views abound, though not from this comfortable property. Terrific friendly bar/restaurant down the road at the Eilean Iarmain. The cottage was spotlessly clean, quality bed linen, excellent showerRead more and a very comfortable reclining sofa. The garden is not fully enclosed but our dogs enjoyed the outside space. No freezer (ice box in fridge). Hide

Cottage was clean, cozy, and located within walking distance of a lovely inn and pub where we had fresh seafood right off the historic pier outside. Lots of great stuff within short driving distance (distillery 7 minute drive away, coffee shop and store 5 minute drive away). The rest of Skye very accessible from the Sleat peninsula where cottage isRead more located. We appreciated the wood burning stove, even in July (we had a couple of 9 degree C nights)! Great home base for Skye explorations. Hide

Camus Cottage is in an excellent location, being a short walk from both a beautiful bay and a pub/restaurant. It is well equipped, clean and spacious and has a lovely garden. Although it is a distance from the main tourist attractions it has beautiful walks and points of interest nearby and is far less busy than the more well trodden areas.

Excellent cottage. Clean and fully equipped. In a wonderful location which was quiet and picturesque. Our dog loved his morning walk down to the bay and we loved the short walk to the pub for something to eat. We will be back!
