Beautiful relaxing location.

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.

Amazing Isle of Skye stay

This property was absolutely perfect. The setting is gorgeous and one of the most peaceful places we have ever stayed. The sounds of the sea and the birds and the lambs were the best thing to fall asleep to at night and wake up to in the morning. Close to Quiraing for hiking and a good base for exploring the island. The house and kitchen had everything you could possibly need, very well equipped. Thank you for a lovely, relaxing stay!

Everything We Hoped For

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.

Storybook cottage stay

I have stayed at many house rentals over the years and this is probably my favorite place I have ever stayed. It was the most beautiful, cozy cottage well equipped with everything you could need. The hosts made our young family (3 year old and infant) feel so welcome; they had the cot all set up for the baby with a beautiful quilt. The views from the cottage were spectacular. The hosts responded immediately with any questions I had. Very closely located to many attractions. Thank you for sharing the most beautiful place with us!

The Skye cottage of your dreams

This cottage is gleaming, bright, and more spacious than it looks in the pics. We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals and have never seen one that shines like this one, in multiple ways. Neater than a pin, and sunny, warm, and comfy. I worried about being a distance from Portree, but we ended up loving the location, a stone’s throw from the Quiraing and several other superlative hiking areas (Brother’s Point in particular is very special). It made our time on Skye even more wonderful.

Exceeded my expectations

Spectacular property that exceeded our expectations. The cottage is beautiful and perfectly maintained. Outside has a path to the beach and seating near the house where you can enjoy the rugged and breathtaking landscape views. Inside had everything we could possibly need. We cooked all our meals and the kitchen had all the equipment we needed. I had a few questions and and the owner answered promptly and with helpful information. I would love to return for longer. I could not recommend more highly! It's a piece of heaven.

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.

Perfect Cottage to Explore Skye

We loved our stay at this wonderful cottage in Skye. Sally and Stephen were very communicative and cleared up our questions quickly. Everything on the aisle was within an hour’s drive and we were able to see so much with Driftwood as our home base. The views were incredible and it was great having laundry facilities to wash up before our next stay. We would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking to explore the Isle of Skye!

Fabulous cottage, amazing views

We needed a place to slow down and just ‘be’ over half term and the cottage was perfect for that. Extremely well equipped (Camembert cooking pot…) and beautifully warm and cosy, we spent lots more time in the cottage than we have planned as the weather was pretty hard going - but the kitchen table was the perfect place to do that - that view! Even in a storm!

Fab cottage in amazing location

This cottage really has the wow factor - that view is amazing! It was spotless and we appreciated the extra COVID cleaning checklist showing what had been cleaned when we arrived. Well equipped kitchen, super comfy bed (very hard to get out of!), smart TV... We loved our stay here, thank you :)

Perfect peace

We had the most relaxing 3 days, a perfect tonic for our frazzled minds! The cottage is in a beautiful location, overlooking the sea and beach - just as the listing shows. The kitchen is the real wow, stocked with everything you need to prepare your food- but best of all the floor to ceiling windows showing off that view. There is a very handy and large utility, ideal if you have been in the great outdoors and need to dry coats etc The small sitting room is really cosy, the bathroom modern and clean and the two bedrooms really fresh and very comfortable. There has been a lot of effort put in to cleaning to ensure safety and it really was spotless (and I'm fussy!) Lots of lovely walks close by. We saw one of the boats around Staffin Island and as we went to Staffin slipway it arrived to offload its catch to the wholesaler. We got 2 lobsters off the skipper for very reasonable price, yummy! Would we go back, yes! Just please don't all go when we want to ;)

Lovely cottage

A wonderful spot to stay on Skye with a beautiful view of the sea. The cottage was cozy and offered all we needed. Enjoyed visiting during a "quiet month" without the crowds! Wish we could have stayed longer than the two days, but I would definitely plan to stay at Driftwood Cottage again!

Wonderful Cottage!

A lovely cottage in a stunning location. Warm, cozy, comfortable, and spotless. Away from the crowds, so a perfect location for a little peace and quiet. Stumbled across this cottage in the early stages of planning our trip to Scotland, and built our itinerary around our stay here. Had high expectations, and was not disappointed in the least! Our time here was much too short...

Fantastisch

Unser Aufenthalt im Driftwood Cottage war fantastisch! Es hat eine perfekte Lage in der Nähe von unfassbar schönen Bergen. Das Haus hat für 4 Personen genau die richtige Größe. Alles ist aber und stilvoll eingerichtet. Zum Meer ist es nicht weit. Zudem hatten wir richtig Glück mit dem Wetter. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben!

Quiet time away

The cottage was exactly what we were looking for, a quiet and somewhat isolated stay where we could listen to the sheep, birds, and waves. Bonuses are that it is well furnished and maintained with nice features and has good access to sights on the northern part of the island and Portree.
