10/10 Excellent
"Hosts were very communicative and gave great advice. Very personal touches with the cabin, sweet treats upon check in, great recommendations for local sight seeing. Private little cabin close to Staffin, the Quirang, and Old Man of Storr. Great location if you're not looking for immediate access to pubs/nightlife. Cute local cat who will come by for attention. Quiet. Private. Clean. Cozy. Definite recommendation."
