Very cosy, well equipped and comfortable in a stunning location
Booking.Com gave an inaccurate and misleading description of the property. There is no tumble dryer or additional toilet. The photos are out of date.
It would have been nice to have enough coal/logs to make at least one decent fire, but there was only enough for a tiny fire that lasted about an hour.

What a gem. This place is so cozy she picturesque. It’s an old fishing cottage that has been wonderfully redone. The owners provided anything you might need. It has a garden space overlooking the water. It’s a bit out of the way so you may need to drive a ways to get to attractions but if you want to avoid crowds it’s perfect.
The stairs to the bedroom are a little tricky for older folks or children.

The cottage itself was amazing, clean, comfortable, great amenities, just like the pictures show.
There was no wifi and absolutely zero communication. I tried to call, text, write via booking and got completely ignored. They texted me every day if everything was alright, I said I needed wifi and asked if it could be fixed, zero response, next day they texted again if I needed anything but nothing ever got fixed. I think those are automated messages and they never really read anything. So communication 0/10, cottage itself 10/10. If you don't mind the lack of wifi or communication I absolutely would recommend.

Beautiful traditional cottage, down by a beautiful Loch, very well presented, very clean and a bottle of wine to welcome us. Fab location with beautiful views of the Loch and a very nice fish restaurant next door and a good pub a short walk away.
Very little to dislike about this cottage, my only comment is the lock to the front door was very stiff and difficult to use.

Very nice and freshly renovated cottage. Everything was clean and comfortable. Excellent and fully equipped kitchen, including dishwasher and washing / drying machine. Location is excellent - close to the beach. Pub nearby and a restaurant with a Michelin star (which was however fully booked for the next few weeks - so no chance to dine there). Nice views from the upper floor.
we did not meet the hosts, but they took a lot of effort in explaining everything through a small tablet that is available in the living room.
No shopping facilities nearby - better stock up your food before you arrive.

My only criticism is that the sofa was uncomfortable, especially the right hand side (the sofa needs replacing with new)

We loved the location and solitude! We loved the layout - with two separate, non-adjoining bedrooms upstairs. It was the only time during our trip we were really able to be separate from our daughter at night.

Perfect location on Skye, really quiet little village with a fab restaurant (Loch Bay) right next door and a lovely little pub a few doors away that also does food.
The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you need. Good internet for those that need it.

Fantastic location, brilliantly equipped and very cosy. almost nothing to fault.
pillows were very uncomfortable. Also could do with a deeper larger dish for cooking eg lasagne.

Really enjoyed our Xmas stay, the cottage is very cozy, clean, you will find everything you need in there and even more. Great surprise for the kids was variaty of board games, fire place made evenings even more romantic, we could enjoy the sea view while drinking coffee in our bed. Absolutely stunning location when beach becomes part of your garden. Cozy pub is your neighbour from one side and restaurant from another.. couldn't wish for more, thank you so much!!
The only bit I would change is cold floor in the kithen, next time will take slippers

Beachcomber cottage is quite simply perfect! the location is stunning, the drive down from the Main road is around 4-5 miles along a single track road ( loads of passing places don't worry) and the views of Waternish and in particular Stein from the top of the hill is a tremendous welcome. The cottage itself is delightful , incredibly comfortable, well equipped and tastefully presented. we were very lucky with the weather and found the bench outside the front door to be the best spot for simply watching the view, chatting with both the locals and other people staying in Stein and enjoying dinner and a glass of wine before wandering to the jetty to see the most beautiful sunsets.
A quick word for the management company Skye Serviced Accommodation, the service they delivered was excellent. From a call on the day of check in to inform of us the the smallest of issues ( unnecessary but really appreciated ) to the catch up mid week on updates and the information provided ahead of check in. Apologies I cannot remember the name of the lady that rang me but she was lovely and offered great service so thank you.
can't think of a single thing!

Beautiful remote cottage. Well stocked and spotless. The management team were friendly and super helpful when we asked for anything , with "how to" films on a tablet in case you couldn't work out how to use everything. Great for a family of 4. I highly recommend the cottage.

This cottage belongs to a string of holiday cottages on the waterfront between the Stein Inn and Loch Bay, the Michelin restaurant right next door in Stein (Waternish). Although it certainly wasn't cheap, the property is very well appointed, with a particularly stunning view from the (extremely comfortable) double bed onto the sea and excellent video explanations of the house's various features. There is another spacious bedroom with two twin beds, and the garden area across the street from the house would be a joy to use for meals in good weather. The kitchen has almost everything one needs (to be picky, we only missed a steamer and a salad spinner), including several unexpected items. The washer/drier, dish washer, and other appliances worked perfectly, although I never mastered the connection to the Bluetooth speaker. The property has an impressive collection of maps and ideas for walks, as well as books about Skye but also general novels. The decor is very tasteful. The bottle of white wine on arrival was a nice gesture. The walls are apparently very thick: we heard no noise whatsoever from the neighbours, except from their shower. On a clear day, a walk to the top of the road should enable one to see a glorious sunset. One evening, a three-mast sailing ship anchored in the bay! Found the staff and others at the Stein Inn very welcoming. Although there are good things to do in the vicinity (Dunvegan Castle, Coral Beach, walk to lighthouse at the tip of Waternish ...), do plan to do a fair amount of driving from this location: Portree is some 30-40 minutes away, as are the Cuillins and the Quiraing.
The lower floor in particular is a bit dark, and the location is not quite as restful as one might expect: especially in the evening there are several visitors driving through because of the pub + restaurant, while deliveries come by during the day. The bathroom upstairs is very nice and has a good (but not excellent) shower: the water pressure seems to be a bit low. Be aware that the nearest food shop is in Dunvegan, a 15-minute drive away. Visitors interested in eating at Loch Bay (the Michelin-star restaurant next door) are advised to book as early as possible: we weren't able to get a place, and they are booked up months in advance. Because of the kelp under the water, fishing from the shore is not a successful experience. On the other hand, had a nice chat with the fisherman who traps lobsters and langoustines in the bay.

What we most liked about this cottage was the kitchen. It's fully equipped, and there's a big fridge! Perfect for cooking. The washing machine also has a dryer, which was very handy during the stay. Each bed also had a bed warmer - loved it. The cottage also has a stunning garden overlooking the shore. Stein is not the best location however to explore the whole of Isle of Skye, but we personally liked staying here because after the hike, we would come back home and be in a different scenery away from the mountains. The cottage is tucked away along the shores far north of Isle of Skye and we were lucky enough to see glimpses of dolphins, dark skies, milky ways and shooting stars. The place is also well known for viewing Northern Lights! There are also local fishmongers you can contact and get fresh fish from!
The nearest big supermarket is in Portree which is about 40mins drive. Beware of the midges! As soon as you step out of the door, swarm of midges would stick to your face. We couldn't make the best use of the lovely garden because of the midges. Only when there was moderate breeze, we were able to use the garden. The cottage can also get quite cold, the heating is programmed so we were not allowed to adjust the temperature. Our host however was able to provide our needs by supplying us with some freestanding heaters. Thank you!

Calda, accogliente e con tutte le cose necessarie
Abbiamo dovuto far “cambiare aria” soprattutto in salotto perché con la moquette e la necessità di tenere sempre chiuso ogni tanto si vizia l’aria
