    Excellent stay at Hector's!

    Hector's flat is just lovely! The view is truly stunning, the sitting room is so comfortable. I visited for three nights with three friends and the flat was spacious for us. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We ended up having breakfast at Hector's downstairs which was scrumptious. We did not end up meeting him, but everything was taken care of and it was nice to know he'd be very close in case we needed it. The location was great for us as we traveled by train and bus and the stations were just around the corner. It is also a perfect starting point for an easy and beautiful walk over the Skye Bridge. A Co-op is around the corner. The flat is upstairs, so mobility is necessary. We'd be happy to return any time.

    Nothing really, although it was very bright for sleeping! That’s Scotland in summer! Once the curtains were open people in the parking area could see straight inside! Nice place though, I’d stay again.

    Nice flat above a cafe, good location for getting to Skye. Roomy and comfortable with great views over the water.

    Beautiful, spacious flat. Very nicely furnished Nice views Well located for exploring the local area - others seem to have used it as a base for exploring Skye which makes sense

    Hector's bothy flat was SOO cozy! We stayed in 2 hotels and 3 rentals over our holiday, and Hector's was by far our favorite! The view was amazing and location extremely convenient. Train access less than 5 minute walk away, and easy parking if you drive. The bothy flat literally felt like a home away from home, not just a place to stay for a few days.

    There wasn’t much not to like. Although there were not many places open to eat in the evening. That said we did find a wonderful fish cafe to eat (outside seating or takeaway only) and the Chinese takeaway was ok.

    The location of Hectors Bothy was perfect and with easy access to the Ilse of Skye. The flat was light, well equipped and very comfortable. Met Hector briefly (very friendly) when we had a delicious breakfast in the cafe below the flat.

    I wish I had booked for longer. This was by far the best property we stayed at during our Scotland trip. The views were wonderful. The property was spacious, clean, beautiful furniture and decorative. The kitchen was open concept and had everything we needed. They also provided jam, honey, buns, milk, tea, fancy coffee, cooking oil, and mustard. We couldn’t believe the property had a washer and dryer! The host was delightful. We just can’t say enough good things. Oh it’s close to Eilean Castle too and that parking lot fills fast so it was perfect get there as it opened and get excellent parking. And it’s right at the bridge to Skye too.

    Since there's no dishwasher, you have to wash the dishes by hand, but the drying rack is a bit small. It would be even better if the chipped plates and the old frying pan were replaced.

    This place was even cozier and cleaner than in the photos. The space was spacious, well-cleaned, and had everything we needed. The snacks, milk, and cereal prepared by the host made my kids very happy. The view through the window was absolutely stunning.

    There was nothing about this apartment that we didn't like.

    It was our second stay at this lovely property and won't be our last. The hosts have thought of everything possible to add to our comfort, such as biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar and even milk in the fridge. There is a washing machine and tumble drier and , although we didn't need to use them, for a longer stay they would be very useful. The living room is extremely comfortable, with lovely views (past the car park) over the water to the hills and little town of Kyleakin on Skye. The bedrooms are spacious and bright and there is a hairdryer with a socket near the mirror. The apartment is spotlessly clean and well decorated. There are several takeaways near the property, including a fish and chip shop owned by the hosts as well as the cafe under the accommodation. There is also a large supermarket within walking distance with long opening hours. It's very easy to drive over to Skye where there are plenty of excellent restaurants in and around Broadford, which is about a 15 minute drive away.
