About this cottage rental
Nyumbani is a traditional single storey Skye cottage situated in its own wrap around gardens overlooking beautiful Loch Harport on the stunning west coast of the Isle of Skye. Nyumbani mean 'our home', in Swahili, and this aptly describes this attractive cottage, with its homely lounge/dining room with open fire, deep leather sofas, family sized kitchen and 3 generously proportioned bedrooms. There is a lovely conservatory that provides a second lounge area, with large flat screen TV and DVD. Doors open onto the fully enclosed gardens that surround the property. Bed linen & towels provided.

The cottage contained all that we needed for our stay. The cottage is showing signs of wear and tear, though none of this detracted from our stay. Lovely views, we made lots of usage of the conservatory in the evenings.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful located house on Skye. Lots of space with 3 bedrooms, nice beds, a nice sunroom and big kitchen and storage area. And great to have a washing machine.The kitchen could use a new fryingpan, and some cleaning of the cabinets. The outside of the house looks a bit shabby, but that is all just cosmetical.Overall great value for money

We loved the location! It was great having a dryer. House layout was great, especially loved the sun room. The room with the double bed was very comfortable, but the rooms with the 2 twins were not adequate for adults-very springy and soft. Supplies were inadequate for our group of 6.
6 / 10Average·May 2026
The location was fantastic, with great views, tucked away and quiet, but still close enough to drive to places in Isle of Skye easily. The road up is quite narrow, and lots of potholes (at time of writing), so best to drive up first time in the day. The accommodation was spacious, with plenty of beds and living areas.Everything else was just ok, not great, but functional. The property is in need of some TLC, repairs and updating, which I think will help improve it in the future. Things like doors coming off cupboards, barely any usable curtains in the TV room, bath not functional (at time of writing), instructions writing on walls (instead of having a guidebook or set of instructions). I think updating the furniture and decor would go a long way too.Overall this accommodation location/view and size is fantastic, and has a lot of potential, but fell a bit short for me.
