All good , no complaints

Carley was on hand if anything went wrong, great location across the road from loch which was lovely at night just to look over . Flat was immaculate when I arrived , everything on hand if needed, ironing board , iron, hairdryer , linen basket, pegs etc ,books and some games there too , beds were so comfy , small garden where you could sit . Spar and Balmacara Hotel at either side, can see why its called the hidden gem , it sits sideways in middle of them both , missed it on arrival 🤭 .I gave 10/10 on everything as I could not fault one thing about it. It's not far from the Skye bridge , 2 or so miles , if you've kids Manuelas wee bakery is a must , felt like a big kid there, bakery 🍪, pizza 🍕 & distillery 🥃 small crooked houses , was like something out of a fairytale , in Armadale , Milan Donan Castle near Armadale too , overall 👌 and if back to Skye would definately return here . Photos i took were on day of leaving as forgot to take when I arrived so beds were stripped .

It’s size and facilities

It is in a very convenient to access the Isle of Skye bridge as only 4 miles away. The flat was very clean, homely, very well equipped and a great size. A Spar shop next door and a larger Co-op store a couple of miles away. Sunday and Monday not good days in Kyle of Lochalsh if you want to eat out. All in all we had a great stay and would recommend. Well done Carley & co.

A true hidden gem in a wonderful location, just a short drive from the Isle of Skye. We stayed as a family of four and felt instantly at home. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed with a small treat – some chocolate and crackers – a simple but thoughtful gesture that set the tone for our stay. The check-in process was completely contactless and effortless, with clear instructions and keys waiting securely in a lockbox. Inside, the apartment was spotless, beautifully arranged, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need – from coffee and tea to all the little touches that make a place feel truly cared for. We were especially touched to find games for the children – such a lovely detail! It’s a peaceful and cosy base for exploring Skye or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the Highlands. We wholeheartedly recommend it – a place with warmth, charm, and a feeling you’ll want to return to.

Very well equipped, comfortable apartment. Nearby well stocked SPAR shop. Very good location for trips to the Isle of Skye.

The communal entrance stinks, which is the first thing you’re greeted with after a long journey. There is a feel that it hasn’t had a penny spent on refurbishment - quite common in Scotland unfortunately - which I find embarrassing when international guests are staying. For example the garden - which could potentially be lovely - has rusty old unused bird feeder and a broken old chair needing binned. And many of the door handles inside are knackered. I don’t understand why low standards are acceptable here compared to when I visit other countries, hence why can’t honestly dish out a 10. Perhaps reflected in price- but that’s an excuse in my opinion.

Super location for a base to explore Skye. There is a supermarket next door which is very handy. Skye requires a lot of driving between destinations and so being on the mainland really didn’t make much of a difference so don’t let that put anyone off. The accommodation was very clean and spacious, a good functional place, probably not suitable for staying in on a rainy day but it’s absolutely fine to rest up in the evening. Shower was decent and there is a little path for walks straight out the door and the water at the front which is beautiful. Good communication.

Impeccably clean, cosy flat. Equipped with every possible appliance and utensil. Incredible attention to detail and great hospitality including treats and a card. A few steps from the sea - perfect for a morning stroll.

Hidden Gem was in a good location with a hotel and shop nearby, and just a short drive to Skye. It was well equipped and comfortable. There were good recommendations for restaurants and things to do.

The electric (Halogen ?) hob had a missing ring on the front left. Took us a while to realise why the veg were not sweating. Heating came on relatively late in the afternoon - 17:30 for a February night. So we went to bed for a nap till it came on !

N / A. As hillwalkers this was perfect location to accessing the hills around Iron Lodge.

Nothing

The property was welcoming with a lovely note and goodies. Place was comfortable and spotless. Loved the note book with all information you would need. A great SPAR supermarket close by for your needs and a hotel where you could walk for dinner or drink. Best thing, easy to find close to Skye and other attractions. Carly was a fantastic hostess. A fantastic place to stay.

It was the size of a small house. Had everything you’d need and want. We needed a central location for 3 night stay in Skye and this was ideal. Easy access and own car park. Small Asia next door.

A bit chilly during the day when the heating is on timer

Very close to our final destination. Easy to find. Had everything we needed.

The flat was very spacious and clean and the location was ideal for our trip to Skye and surrounding areas.

If your only destination is Skye, then you might find the daily drive to and from this location a bit of a pain. Also be aware it doesn't have a view, you have to step outside to get that!

The location was perfect for venturing to Skye and beyond. The Ruaraig/Balmacara bay was lovely, with walking available from the doorstep. For those keen on self-catering, the Spar (shop) was incredibly convenient right next door, with the hotel bar on the other side for drinks or food in the evening. The property was lovely and warm too, and the living room decor was modern and spacious.

A few rainy days but certainly not the host's responsibility!

The flat was immaculate and the host had gone to great lengths to ensure that it had everything that you would need for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The kitchen had fabulous facilities. We only stayed for a few nights but had it been longer, the washing machine and dishwasher would have made life easier. The living room very comfortable and we enjoyed a bit of bird spotting from the lovely patio window leading out into the garden. There was a great supply of books and games which we enjoyed in the evenings. The bathroom was spotless and spacious. The radiators were individually controlled which added to our comfort. The flat was located only a few minutes drive from both Eilean Donan Castle and the Skye bridge and a five mile drive from Plockton. There were excellent views of the Isle of Skye and the bridge from the picnic benches just across the street. Watched a few glorious sunsets here! We had a lovely break exploring these areas of the highlands and the Hidden Gem provided us with an ideal base. I would highly recommend!

During our Scotland trip we had a total of eight accommodations. In none of them did we feel as incredibly relaxed and comfortable as we did here. Carley was an absolutely attentive and caring host at all times. We will definitely be back!

That we had to leave..Should have booked longer.Much more to see in area.

Right next to Loch..Spar shop great and friendly. Next to hotel pub.

Being very picky, no windows in the kitchen but it really didn't bother us, A slightly depressing entrance around the side of the hotel but the comfort of the apartment and the great location made up for it.

Excellent location. Loved the French doors out to the garden, they brought in lots of light. The picnic benches just across the road give a fabulous place to sit, enjoy the views &lookout for dolphins. The mobile fish &chip van on Friday was well worth visit.
