Calath, Isle of Skye, superb mountain/loch views.

DawnRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had a lovely week on Skye. Staying in Carbost was the perfect location to travel to other parts of the island. It is a short drive to Talisker Bay and Sligachan The house is easy to find and in an incredible location with an amazing view. It's fantastic for wildlife spotting, too. Alan's instructions were great, and he responded quickly to our messages. The house is warm and cozy and has everything we needed for the week. I highly recommend the property.
