    With the loss of power, it was nice still have a coffee in the morning, no fault of the owners, power company caused the failure as well as on Skye.

    I don’t even know where to start. At the unprofessional and not very presentable host (owner of the house that lives with you basically), who did not hold her promise to keep the heating on, even though it is advertised that the property has heating, we asked beforehand if the heating will be working and were reassured the whole house will be warm, even though that was not the case and we were told that we should probably keep our sweaters on as it drops to 16 degrees or so during the night (while winds are blowing strongly outside and it is a cold November night and I bet you it gets colder than that even). Or should I talk about the cats and dogs (great dane for example), that live with you and the whole house smells like dog food and wet dog hair. But those are details one can overlook to a certain extent - if only the accomodation that you paid 100€ for (which is absolutely outrageous and ridiculous for the actual facilities provided - and the state they are in) would have kept the promise of keeping you safe and warm. The house looks sketchy, the host sketchier even. And as it turns out, even though we have fled, called the host 5 minutes after departure (as we definitely didn’t want to be in her house and enter any dispute), we have kindly asked for a partial refund - since we didn’t stay there and needed to search for new accommodation in the city 30 minutes away, she completely dismissed it and didn’t want to fairly approach the matter. It was a promise on her part that has not been kept - and it is the only reason why we have left, to protect ourselves from getting sick while sleeping in a cold uncomfortable room and have the rest of our travel ruined. We have made a grave mistake booking this accommodation and I would strongly advise everyone to stay far away from this host, but this was our bad judgement - I have to mention that we are utmost disappointed by the lack of help in this matter by Booking.

    Absolutely nothing. We fled from there.

    Public transportation on the island is available but limited so check ahead.

    Property as listed. Very comfortable. Pretty view of the horses from my room a couple times.
