West Cottage was built around 1870 as a typical croft house with a byre beside it but gradually deteriorated during the 1990s until it was in danger of becoming derelict. In 2007 the old cottage was stripped back to the stone shell; it was re-roofed and completely refurbished to a very high standard and a large living-room was built on the end of the old house on the site of the former byre. The cottage offers comfortable accommodation over 2 floors. The living room, kitchen/dining and double bedroom with en-suite shower are on the ground floor with a further double bedroom, twin room and bathroom upstairs. The kitchen is fully equipped with electric cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The living room has well-stocked book shelves, a wood burning stove and a colour TV. There is wifi throughout the house.

We had a great stay!The pictures don't do the place justice, especially the view from the living room is spectacular. The kitchen was equipped with everything one might need and everything was spotless. The rooms are cozy and the showers hot with good water pressure.Check in was easy and the communication with Helen as well.All in all a great stay and we hope to come again!

This was a lovely property. Our family of 5 was very comfortable and enjoyed the beautiful views. Helen was very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this property for your next visit to the Isle of Skye.

It’s all about the beautiful view from this lovely cottage! Everything you need is there. Also not in the busy busy bits of Skye so perfect to relax. We had great weather and no midges so can’t complain! Only thing would be, lack of outdoor seating, a sturdy picnic table across the track on the grass would’ve been perfect since we had sun everyday.

Our family had a wonderful stay at the little croft house in Sleat. The cottage, surrounded by fields with grazing sheep, was cozy, clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well equipped and included even a washing machine. The views across the Sound of Sleat towards the mainland were spectacular. Although Sleat often gets overlooked when booking accomodations on Skye, it is a great place from which to explore the Island and is within walking distance of the Torabhaig distillery. We highly recommend this cottage and will certainly try to stay here again in the future.

The cottage was wonderful.My wife and I stayed for 4 nights and would have stayed longer but for family commitments. Everything we needed to make our stay comfortable was provided and the cottage was immaculate.The location was perfect, close enough to the road to be easily accessible but far enough from it to not hear passing traffic, all we heard was the occasional bleating of the neighbouring sheep and the tweeting of the birds. Having now discovered West Cottage as regular visitors to Skye and Lochaber we have added it to our list of, "we will be back" self catering cottages, if it's available.culate. stayccomfortable

We had the best stay in Helen's home. It is very comfortable, cosy, warm and the views - well they are spectacular. The kitchen is very well stocked. We explored all over Skye and then found that Knock Castle and Torabhaig distillery were on our doorstep. Highly recommend this home, we would love go back.

We could not have enjoyed our stay at Helen's cottage more. Everything was perfectly clean, and very simply and beautifully appointed. The decor was calming and thoughtful. We enjoyed using the lovely Isle of Skye dishware, sitting by the fireplace in the evenings, contemplating the beautiful views of the sound in the large and window-filled living area. Helen provided excellent recommendations and clear instructions, and was a pleasure to communicate with. I hope we will have a chance to return someday! It's one of the prettiest places we have ever stayed.

Just out of the way of the throngs of tourists, this location is ideal. While we drove out to Trotternish and surroundings a couple of times, what really astounded us was just how gorgeous this part of Skye is. We had a fantastic time exploring the area, and would 100% recommend this location for ease of movement, access to all points of Skye, and comfort. Hosts were very understanding after I had trouble finding the key (my own fault! - didn't read all the details closely!). Kind folks.

The house is perfectly located for excursions on the isle (mainly the Sleat/southern part, however). Helen is a great host, welcoming and helpful.

Idyllic cottage with one of the best views of the Sound of Sleat. A peaceful haven away from the busy spots of Skye, and within reach of some of the most beautiful parts of the mainland like Glenelg and Sandaig. Great communication by the owner. My second visit and I will definitely be returning.

We loved staying in Teangue at this cottage. It was very well appointed and extremely comfortable. The living room is spacious with a reading area and large sliding glass doors with lovely views across to the water and mountains beyond. There is a downstairs double bedroom with en suite bathroom, and two bedrooms and a shared bathroom upstairs. Close to the Armadale ferry - just 20 mins to Mallaig, and a short drive from Broadford. Nock castle is worth exploring - you can see it from the cottage and when the tide is out the shoreline makes for interesting rock pool exploration! Highly recommend!

Helen and the croft cottage was simply amazing! The location was perfect, and the view from the living room was STUNNING.
We would absolutely stay here again.

...and that includes two "luxury" hotels. Frank and Helen's space is wonderful and the perfect base-camp for Isle of Skye. Great kitchen (lots of extras in the pantry so look before you shop). Everything works perfectly. Quiet location, amazing views, beautiful mattress and linens, and the wood-stove and library were the best wind-down after longs days of hiking and fishing. We are deeply grateful to Frank and Helen for sharing their space with us.

Family holiday
Visited the cottage for a summer holiday with the family. Excellent house with everything you need for a wonderful trip away. Brilliant location, the kids were delighted the deer came to visit at nighttime, and the view across the Loch was amazing too.
Helen was an excellent host, sending clear directions on where to find the house, aswell as recommendations of places to visit and things to do.
Would definitely recommend a visit!

Heaven on Skye
We were thrilled with our stay at this authentic crofters cottage. On an increasingly crowded Skye, its location is perfect as it is sited so you see or hear no other visitors …. Only the vistas, sheep, and the sea. It is close to amenities, well appointed, and clean; the books are a treasure! Fabulous cottage; we will be back!

Very clean and cosy cottage in a wonderful location
We booked a late break on Skye and feel we were truly lucky to have found Helens lovely cottage. Despite pretty wet weather we walked out and dried off in style: cottage perfectly positioned for the views and the wood burner was wonderful. Many thanks

Summer break on Skye
We spent 4 wonderful days on Skye, the property was everything we expected and more. Very comfortable and excellent views, the deer walked by the house most mornings. Access to Skye was good, I will be seeking to rent this property in the future

WOW! - great find - perfect - stunning views
This was our first time to Skye. The online listing is accurate. Helen was helpful and accommodating throughout. This cottage certainly has the WOW factor - the views are STUNNING, and I mean stunning from all rooms and in particular the living area. The location is great and around 1 hr to many places which are a must to visit such as the Fairy Pools, Portree, the Old Man of Storr as well as the hidden gem of Plockton which is just over Skye bridge where you can also go on a boat trip to see the seals. Little things that made the stay include: Broadford is close for 'big' shopping at the co-op, the shower has great pressure and the beds are extremely comfortable. If we visit Skye again we will certainly stay here and tell all our friends about this cottage.

Amazing property
My family and I have been renting properties in Scotland for about ten years, and this property is our absolute favorite. The view is simply amazing. You will be hard pressed to find a better view for a holiday rental. The house is spacious and we were very comfortable here. It is also the best equiped house we have ever stayed in. Just about every kitchen tool you can imagine is on hand. So the property is a must stay. We will be back to stay again. Also the location is great. Close enough to Broadford for groceries, restaurants, and anything else you might need but far enough down sleat that you are out of all the tourist flow. It is a great spot for exploring the majority of Skye. We loved it. The owners are quick to respond to any questions and are super helpful.

IDeal setting for a relaxing retreat
The cottage is located in a less tourist busy area on the south end of Skye quite off the main road to Armadale and the ferry. The view from the living room is breathtaking. I often sat there hours watching the sunrise, the Loch and the mountains on mainland. The cottage is well catered and Helen is the ideal caring owner. All amnemnities that you need are provided. Excellent bed and hot shower. I really enjoyed the 4 weeks Of my stay and want to go back next year.
