Cottage vacation rentals in Applecross

This garden cottage was straight out of a romantic fairytale! The gorgeous garden surrounding the cottage and the view of the water and misty rolling hills framed perfectly by a stone wall and ivy were just breathtaking (especially while sitting in the wood fire heated hot tub). The cottage itself was incredibly cozy. We had nearly gotten stranded on Islay with car issues and we weren’t even sure we’d get to enjoy this stop on our holiday. By the time we arrived, we were completely exhausted from the chaos of the previous 24 hours so this relaxing and welcoming space was exactly what we needed to decompress. ☺️ The cottage was well equipped and very clean! We had everything we needed and then some. Caroline was an exceptional host. She was remarkably responsive and lovely to interact with both prior to our stay (when we weren’t sure we’d be able to make it) and during our stay! Anyone with the opportunity to stay here, should absolutely do it! Thank you for everything, Caroline!!

We stayed here a few days in May. The Cottage is very remote, but you can reach the next village in arround 10 minutes by car. It offers great views of the surrounding area. the hot tub was amazing. Also the fireplace. we came to do some hikes and in the end decided to stay a whole day in the cottage, because it was so great.

We had an amazing couple of days in this awesome Airbnb. Michelle gave us a warm welcome, when we arrived. The house is a perfect place to explore the Isle of Skye and relax in the hut tub in the evening and enjoy the sea view. We would have wished to stay longer and will definitely be back. One hundred percent recommended.

It was a beautiful area, and the place itself was lovely, very easily made our home for the time of our stay, the utilities were easy to use and it was overall a very comfortable stay

Such a beautiful little get away with so many little hidden gems nearby! Was quiet 24/7 and we loved the peace and the amount of sun the garden and hot tub got. Such a cosy cottage and made us feel at home straight away, worth the drive! Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️

The house was wonderful - we were delighted with both the location and with the property. The house was immaculate, and beautifully furnished with some really lovely pictures and objects throughout. The rooms were all good-sized and bright with the kitchen/dining area overlooking the garden a real standout. It was very well maintained and it felt like a proper home from home. The location was really lovely too - nice and quiet with a very short walk to the beach. We particularly enjoyed our walks around the area and along to Chanonry Point to look for the dolphins. A local pub and a lovely restaurant were close by too which was a bonus! Our host, Eva, provided us with clear and concise information prior to our arrival and messaged us a couple of times during our stay to make sure that all was in order. This was very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the property to others, and we certainly plan to visit again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Betty’s Lookout! Incredible place, with stunning views. Spent my 30th birthday here, and I couldn’t have imagined a better place. The only thing was the hot tub could have been a little bit hotter, but was still nice to soak in for a while!

Lovely place , super clean with everything you would ever need for a short/long stay .super responsive when messaged too ! What a great place ! Only issue is parking on and off the drive can be super tight due to the neighbours parking outside the drive other than that what a place !

Brillant placé to stay and explore Skye. Kat has been a brillant host and the property felt like home instantly!

House it's very cosy, we felt like at home. Place is beautiful I've just wish we could stay longer...

Beautiful cottage. Felt out of the way but was close to road into portree. Very warm building, bathroom and rooms superb. Would highly recommend and revisit. Visiting sheep was an added bonus!

What an amazing location and host. We were blessed with sunshine for our stay which made it even more spectacular. Una was a brilliant host, provided recommendations and the AirBnb was perfect for our stay. Can't wait to visit again and explore more of the highlands.

We really enjoyed our stay. The kabin was spacious, welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and made cooking easy. It was great to havethe basic items such as soap, dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll and so on. The view was wonderful especially when a bright, uplifting rainbow appeared. We saw deer too which with the binoculars were clear to see. The beds were comfortable and the bedding spotless. Thank you Sonia and the team, it was everything that we hoped for. And a special thank you to Liz for giving us such a warm welcome.

We spent a perfect few days at the Garden Cottage, and only wish we could have stayed longer! It was everything we hoped for while visiting the Highlands and exploring the area. The view is just spectacular. It was so peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed hiking to the Hill Bothy on the trail behind the house, walking and seeing the farm animals, waking up to the sounds of birds, and sitting by the fireplace in the evening watching the clouds go by and the sunset late into the night. Kate made everything seamless and easy to feel right at home in. Cannot recommend enough and hope to be back soon!

Always adore staying at Owl Cottage. This trip was cut short due to poorly pooch but will definitely be back.

When we arrived at Juliet’s cottage we instantly knew we were in for a treat. With lambs and bunnies literally outside the front door - we felt fully immersed in nature. The cottage has been beautifully decorated with extra special touches including the local artwork and textiles. We absolutely loved our stay, and feel incredibly grateful that we were lucky enough to experience Skirnish Cottage whilst on a trip visiting Scotland (where my family is originally from) with our 1 year old before our next baby arrives!

Out of all the places that we stayed while in Scotland, this was our favorite. It felt very homey and comfortable and super clean. We had a few visitors like chickens and a little lost sheep named Lucky Bucky. It was a beautiful home with all the amenities. The shower was very nice and hot and strong. The bed was comfortable in the bedding was luxurious. It wasn't but a ten minute drive to town to get groceries or go to a restaurant to eat. Location to the isle of skye was perfect. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

Absolutely beautiful, rustic and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay immensely and this was our favorite place during our whole time in Scotland. Views of the loch and you can even see the Eileen Donan castle! one funny thing was the bath- while it had a shower handle there wasn’t a way to stand and shower so we all ended up having baths! Thank you Zoe for an amazing stay, I would definitely recommend!

A stunning location for this cottage. It was peaceful and has incredible views over the waters to the mountains. It was wonderful to see the tide come and go, we felt close to nature. The cottage was clean and well stocked with kitchen equipment. There are games and books and enough for wood for your first night there. Underfloor heating was lovely and the fire heated the house really well to the point I needed to open the door to cool down - which is great to know you won’t be cold when you’re up there at the end of Autumn! Having a bath while looking out in the views to the mountains felt like a luxury.

We had the most wonderful stay at taigh uilleam cottage. Elizabeth is a great host, very helpful and responsive. The location is amazing with pretty views of meadows, sea and islands. Restaurants and town of Portree are a quick hop away via scenic roads.

Alex's place was comfortable and cosy. We enjoyed our time there. Alex was very friendly and responsive to our queries and requests. He was proactive with suggestions on places to visit and things to eat. His recommendation for cullen skink is a must-try!

Fossil Cottage is an absolute gem! We loved our time there and cannot wait to go back. For us, it was all about the idyllic location, on top of which, the place is exactly as described: clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything you need. Despite being slightly off the beaten track, it is only a short distance off the main road hence conveniently placed for the amenities in Broadford or Kyle as well as for exploring the rest of this wonderful island. Our thanks to Fiona for being a great host, we hope to see you again before too long.

everything was extraordinary and the accommodation is excellently equipped...we felt like home...thank you very much

Tidy house close to the water and shops.
