The Kitchen/Dining Room 29Sq Metres / 310 Sq Ft.

This spacious but cosy kitchen in our opinion is the best room in the cottage – light and airy, it offers the best views and has been left as a wonderfully functional family kitchen.

    It’s kind of shocking that Driftwood Cottage managed to exceed expectations, but it did. In writing a review, I’m not sure if I should focus more on the location, the views, the cleanliness, the amenities, the communication, or any of the many other things we loved and appreciated about our stay. This space was both really practical—well stocked kitchen, convenient washer and dryer, clear and helpful instructions/signage/insights, spotlessly clean—and also really special. Believe it or not, I think the pictures actually undersell the views and sense of spaciousness. We loved spending mornings and evenings admiring the scenery from the cottage, and we also felt perfectly located close to many of the places we wanted to see. We had a wonderful time, and we’re so grateful for our stay.

    We had a wonderful time at Driftwood Cottage in Staffin. The cottage is in excellent condition, everything is well stacked. The owners provided everything you might need for a pleasant stay and a lots of extra thoughts put into making your stay comfortable. Very responsive owners, easy check in and out process. There are games, puzzles, tv, and speakers for entertainment as well as good suggestions for what to do in Skye. Highly recommend.

    Our stay at Driftwood Cottage was my favorite part of our travels in Scotland. The photos simply cannot capture the serenity and beauty at Driftwood Cottage. We were pleasantly surprised to see ewes and lambs surrounding the property and loved having tea with them every morning. The location was situated close to many attractions on the Isle of Skye, and we loved coming back to a true home with many amenities. Thank you very much for opening up your home to our family!

    We expected this cottage to be the nicest of the places we booked and we were not disappointed. Beautiful water view. Lots of light. On a clear night (which I understand is quite rare), the stars are unlike anything I have seen. We appreciated the detailed instructions sent a week ahead of time. We would definitely book again.

    It was our first trip to Scotland and wanted a base to explore the Isle. We were not disappointed. My husband likes to cook when we travel and was very happy with the kitchen set up. Pans, dishes, utensils, dish towels etc. The house is comfortable and very clean. We loved our time there.
