    This was the second time that we have stayed at Skye Cabins, and it was just as amazing as we remembered! We made very good use of the hot tub again (our favourite part), although it was a bit of a struggle to get it lit from cold this time. William offered us some helpful tips when bringing us some more firewood - you are given enough to last the length of your stay, but we were a little bit wood-happy when trying to get it to heat up the first time! The surrounding scenery was as beautiful as always, and the cabin was pretty much central to everywhere we wanted to take a drive to in Skye as we did a lot more exploring this time. Skye Cabins certainly did not disappoint, and we've already booked our next stay!

    Nothing - we loved everything!

    I cannot say enough great things about our stay at Skye Cabins. The pictures are lovely but do not do this place justice! It is a stunning view, everything was clean and tidy, there were lots of cooking tools, and even spa robes for our stay! The wood-fired hot tub is *fantastic* and Willy, our host, was very generous with the wood and kindling. In fact, Willy was generous and helpful with everything! We felt so welcome and had everything we needed the entire weekend. At the end of the stay, you don’t need to do much in terms of checkout - just leave the keys and Willy handles the rest! Portree isn’t far so it’s easy to nip into town for some groceries, supplies, or a meal out if you fancy it. But, you’re far enough to get peace and quiet and beautiful stars at night. There’s a skylight in the rotunda so you can see stars from bed, which was incredible. When we or our families come back to Skye we’ll be staying here! If it’s available, book this place while you can.

    There is nothing to dislike about this gorgeous Rotunda cabin and surrounding area's

    This cabin is absolutely gorgeous and in a stunning location, Dark skies for star gazing or The Northern lights if it's the winter, everything you need is thought of, the log fired hot tub is easy to get fired up, but don't put too much wood in as it's gets too hot and doesn't cool down quick. The shower has plenty of power.

    Kitchen supplies not conducive to a lot of cooking but we were only cooking breakfast anyway.

    Best serene location, surrounded by sheep pastures, water, vast views with only 2 far off houses visible. Build your wood fire to heat water for jetted hot tub soak under the stars or sheltered from rain.

    WiFi did not work and host did not respond to inquiry. Other than the unreliable WiFi, everything else worked fine. But, if you're focused ln WiFi, you may be missing the point of the location. Arrival location and directions were unclear: The sign directs you to "Skye cabins" but there is only one. The plural appears to be aspirational. They tell you to go to the "rotunda," which is a unique use of that term, and it is not visible until you come to very end of the road in a sheep pasture and walk several steps down a gravel hill, and, voila, there it is: beautiful. It's worth the slight effort but there is no reason to write the directions only from the owner writers' informed perspective, when customers' holiday time is so valuable.

    The location has to be experienced to be fully appreciated, It is scenic, quiet and peaceful. The view down the hill and across the loch to the fields on the of side of valley is stupendous with a front row seat to spectacular sunrises. Some reviews have complained about no breakfast service. It is not a B&B. We made our own breakfast. The kitchenette was very good. Also, the location provides easy access to Fairy pools, Quoraing and Talisker beach, but also to Portree.

    The kitchenette could do with a few more dishes, some oven dishes etc. An iron and ironing board would be handy too. However the host did say if we needed anything we could ask, and we didn't, so maybe they would have provided if we had?

    The photos of the cabin do not do it justice... it is absolutely beautiful, completely private and secluded but also safe. The views of the sea and the mountains were second to none! Fantastic

    Nothing it was perfect.

    The Rotunda is a cozy cabin with a beautiful view. The room is clean and comfortable and the perfect size for a quiet get away. It is very private and the Woodburner jacuzzi is brilliant. The owners were very helpful and were quick to respond to requests. The location is excellent for getting around the island. We couldn't have expected anything more from this place. Didn't want to leave. Will hopefully find time to return!

    Really lovely experience

    No big issues for us, just some things to consider: the roads aren't the best in the area (lots of potholes, gravel roads), there is a little walking up and down from the car park to the cabin entrance (if you have mobility issues), toiletries & kitchen washing up stuff provided could be a little better. There are blinds for all of the windows but not for the skylight in the ceiling so in more summer times it can get quite bright.

    We really liked the cabin (rotunda) and how remote it was. It's not too far from the other houses, but a little hill hides it well and on the other side you have the water and a lot of sheep! The view is really something and the place is very quiet. The little porch with the chairs and the hot tub is really nice, we enjoyed a few meals there. The hot water tub was great (once we got it going, you need a bit of knowledge of how to start and maintain a food fire, but even 2 city people managed it easily). Kitchen was ok - don't expect to find everything you'd have at home but it was more than enough for heating up a bunch of meals and preparing sandwiches. Bathroom was good size and the water had good pressure and temperature (I like hot showers). I was surprised how good the phone signal was in the area/cabin (you do get wifi anyway). There are signs to the cabin from the main road and a sign of where the parking is. If you can't see them keep going (past the massive hill and houses). The host sent us an email with a lot of information both about the cabin and about where you can get things (dinners, supermarkets); we didn't really need any help with anything but they seemed very nice and responsive.

    The only downside for us was the wood fired hot tub which we found difficult to master (in all honestly, we didn’t quite get the hang of it in the 5 days that we were there with the water either being too hot or too cold at all times). Some clearer instructions re timings and a temperature control/monitor would be helpful.

    Location, location, location. This cabin is in the perfect place to completely escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. We sat out on the deck to watch the sun rise and it was completely worth the 4am start. We were shocked that the cabin actually appeared bigger in real life than it looked from the photos online. It is equipped with everything you could need for the perfect getaway - we would definitely stay here again!

    Bed was a little bit too soft and low for me but personal taste. TV/WIFI very hit and miss but not too bothered. Could have done with a bedside light and a mirror near plug socket/table ( maybe a portable one stored in bathroom cupboard?)

    Fantastic location, amazing views. So peaceful and relaxing. Well equipped kitchen, small but perfectly formed. Lovely spacious bathroom with great shower. I imagine hot tub would be lovely but sadly we just didn't get to go in, so much to see and do on Skye...

    Had a bit of a false start with the hot tub as it was so cold - it took over 4 hours to heat up on the first attempt! Not a problem though, we'll know for next time.

    We stayed in the Rotunda, a beautiful cabin with the comfiest bed we had ever slept on and everything you would need. The outdoor hot tub was amazing and the hosts provided plenty of wood. Quiet, peaceful location and very private, not overlooked by the road, other houses or cabins. Good distance from most of the main attractions on Skye.

    Nothing - everything was perfect!

    We didn’t have a single complaint the entire time we were there - the cabin was absolutely beautiful! The hot tub was amazing and super easy to use. Owners were on hand to help with anything; however, you’re left to it the time you’re there which we thought was great - William greeted us and helped us set up the hot tub when we first arrived which was appreciated. The cabin has plenty of facilities. We mostly ate out or brought our own snacks anyway, but the kitchen is fully equipped if you fancy cooking your own meal. Beautiful views (even at night when the moon is out!) and we were greeted by some horse and sheep friends which we loved! It was super convenient being within driving distance of pretty much all of the usual sights we wanted to see. The owners also send an email as part of your booking recommending places to eat, things to do etc. which was great help since it was our first visit to Skye, though, unfortunately some of the places we fancied from this list didn’t end up being open. That isn’t to be helped! We’re planning on returning in summer anyway so the email will be on hand then. All in all, we would 100% book to stay here again. The entire trip was brilliant and it was made extra special with knowing we were returning to such a beautiful cabin in the evenings after a long day out.

    Nothing we didn't like, but for others to be aware you need to walk down a small hill from the car to the rotunda.

    The location offers beautiful views, the rotunda is adorable and the hot tub is perfect after a day of exploring! The kitchenette was very well stocked and the owners left us milk and a welcome basket which was a lovely touch. The owners leave you to it but are contactable and friendly!
