    *Shepherds Hut* We had a fantastic stay at this charming, well-equipped hut, ideal for a romantic escape. The hut seemed cozy but we found it surprisingly spacious, with stunning sea views and a peaceful atmosphere. The hosts, Debbie and Barry were warm and welcoming, even gifting us delicious homemade bread! Highly recommended for a relaxing seaside retreat!

    Great location overlooking a loch and hills and despite being on the owner's property it felt nicely private. I loved the clever design inside the shepherd's hut; nice welcome touches; very friendly and approachable hosts.

    All perfect.

    Upon our arrival, Debbie and Barry were so welcoming and lovely. The hut is so thoughtfully designed, a cosy yet considerate space with everything you need and more! The pull down bed was nice and comfy too. Shepherd’s hut has been such a lovely place to stay whilst we have explored the Isle of Skye over the past few days. Good location as the hut is situated no more five minutes (by car) from Dunvegan. It was lovely listening to the beautiful birds from the hut and watching the sun set on the island. The information pack, alongside the host’s suggestions of where to go etc was very helpful indeed! Thank you!

    Everything was perfect!

    This was the perfect stay for what we wanted. It was clean, cosy, and quiet with a great location for cafes and restaurants, just a short drive to Dunvegan. The owners were very welcoming and really lovely people. We will certainly be staying here again and using this as our base when we visit Scotland again, as we tend to come at least twice a year.

    Would have been nice to have a toaster - perhaps the utensil holder could be smaller or moved to the wall to make space for a one. We also had quite a bit of condensation during the night. It made the bedding damp at times and some of our other stuff. Fixed by opening the windows during the day, but obviously, that was very cold to do.

    Everything was very thought out. One of the best beds I've ever slept in. Liked the little touches such as the milk, biscuits, and shower wash (the fresh bread was also superb). And Debbie the host gave a very warm welcome. View was amazing. There is another holiday cabin on the property, and of course the hosts house, but privacy is not an issue and we never felt like they were too close.

    The drinking water hat a weird taste, also missed a reading lamp, but that's to be expected in such place without electricity.

    Friendliness of the hosts, the tent was very cute and comfy. learning about the animals and being able to feed them.

    No complaints.

    An intimate & cosy little place that exceeded my expectations tbh. One thing I was concerned about is whether it would be cold (I read a review that mentioned such). However, the heating system was perfect & warmed the hut quite quickly. Also, the location is ideal for popular tourist spots and there is a petrol station and some shops/cafes/restaurants nearby. Would definitely recommend it.

    Nothing, it was perfect.

    Perfectly kitted out for all your needs. Has a shower and toilet, over, hob, fridge, kitchen stuff, seating area, pull down comfortable bed and the most wonderful views. Loved the little touches such as freshly picked daffodils, milk and the most tasty loaf of bread I’ve had! Barry and Debbie are wonderful hosts, you have a lot of privacy but they are also on hand if you need anything. Location is perfect if you’re looking for remoteness but also amenities aren’t too far away in neighbouring Dunvegan.

    The Shepherds Hut is very cosy, spotless and has all the facilities you need for a relaxing break, the owners Barry and Debbie are very friendly and welcoming. On arrival there was home baked bread and wine in the Hut, which we thought was a lovely touch. Highly recommended
