Lovely clean cottage with beautiful views and a well-designed kitchen. Great location for sightseeing on the island. Close to shops, restaurants, and a hotel with a nice bar. Fabulous accommodation with everything needed for a short stay.

The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay, including pots, pans, and cutlery. The location was great, allowing us to easily explore the nearby attractions. The owners were friendly and welcoming when we bumped into them.
The WiFi connection was often weak, which made it difficult to stay connected. It would have been nice if shower gel was provided, as we didn't have any with us due to our carry-on luggage restrictions.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a perfect little cottage as our base for sightseeing on a beautiful island. The cottage was super clean and well-maintained, with every inch of space well thought out. The owners were fantastic hosts, leaving us to enjoy our privacy but providing contact information in case we needed anything. The location was ideal, just a short distance from the town center, yet it felt secluded and peaceful. Waking up to the very nice views from the large window was a true highlight of our stay. The cottage had everything we needed, including a mini kitchen where we could prepare our own meals. We appreciated the attention to detail, such as the supply of pots, pans, and cutlery, as well as the provision of tea, coffee. The cottage was conveniently located near the Skeabost Hotel, where we enjoyed some delicious meals. Despite a few minor drawbacks, like the difficulty with the combination oven/microwave and the small sink and mirror in the bathroom, our overall experience was really good. We didn't want to leave! We highly recommend this good cottage to anyone visiting this enchanting island.

The cottage was beautifully decorated and had a cozy atmosphere. It was also very clean and comfortable, making our stay enjoyable. the hosts were friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed.
We had some difficulties with the driveway, which was on a steep incline and had not been cleared of ice. It was especially problematic when we arrived in the dark and our car struggled to access the property.

The cabin was impeccably clean and well-maintained, making it feel like no one had ever stayed there before. It was also very comfortable and had all the necessary amenities for a self-catered stay. the location was perfect, with a stunning view of the forest from the big window. Communication with the host, Alison, was a breeze. Highly recommended!
Nothing that we didn't like. 👍.

The cottage had all the necessary amenities and was very well-furnished. It was also located in a peaceful area, away from the hustle and bustle. The views from the cottage were absolutely stunning and added to the overall experience.
The size of the cabin was a bit too small for our liking, especially for a longer stay. Although everything else was perfect, this aspect was a bit of a letdown.

We stayed at Elfin Cottage for 3 nights and had such a nice time. The cottage was modern, clean, and had a lovely view. The Skeabost hotel was only a 10-minute walk away and the food there was amazing. The hosts were accommodating and respected our privacy. It was the perfect central location to explore Skye's beautiful sights. We would definitely come back here.
Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The cottage was cosy, comfortable, and well-equipped with kitchen essentials. The toilet was exceptionally clean and had extra amenities. The smart TV was a great addition for relaxation, and the location and view were stunning. The design of the cottage was clever, with plenty of storage space.
Felt very welcome, nothing to complain about.

I had an absolutely brilliant stay at this cozy cottage. the location was ideal for exploring the beautiful surroundings. the facilities were great, including a smart TV in the room and a private driveway. the cottage was well-finished and comfortable, with a big window offering a view of the forest right from the bed. the hosts were very kind and the accommodation was spotlessly clean.
The only minor downside was the combination oven/microwave, which was a bit difficult to use at first.

The cabin is cozy, comfortable, and well-equipped with a kitchenette and fridge. The location is ideal, offering a quiet and scenic view from the big window in the bedroom. The host, Alison, is attentive and provides detailed instructions for a smooth check-in. Perfect base for exploring the attractions of Skye, only a short drive from Portree.
Felt well taken care of, no reason to complain.
