Greshornish Boathouse, Dunvegan

Ich habe noch niemals so eine katastrophale Unterkunft wie diese erlebt! Die Bilder entsprechen absolut nicht dem, was man vorfindet. Angefangen bei der Anreise. Die Zufahrt mit doch mehreren hundert Metern ist in einem so schlechteren Zustand, dass man ständig Schlaglöchern ausweichen muss. Was noch dazu ziemlich schwierig wird, wenn diese Gleichzeit rechts und links auf der Strasse auftauchen. Bei Regen sind diese riesigen Krater dann leider auch nicht zu sehen und man riskiert hier eine massive Beschädigung des Wagens. Sauberkeit steht bei dieser Unterkunft nicht an erster Stelle!!! Mal abgesehen von dem unschönen Geruch, es roch nach nassem Hund, sind noch genug Haare von den vorherigen Besuchern übrig geblieben… Geschirr und Besteck wollte man am liebsten gar nicht anfassen. Fazit: Auch wenn es malerisch gelegen ist, das „Bootshaus“ ist ein Horror für Gäste, die Sauberkeit und Gepflegtheit mögen. Und bei diesem Preis, sollte man davon ausgehen, dass dies garantiert wird! --------------------------------------------------------------- I have never experienced such a catastrophic accommodation like this! The pictures absolutely do not correspond to what you find. Starting with the arrival. The access road with several hundred meters is in such a worse condition that you have to constantly avoid potholes. Which also becomes quite difficult when they appear on the street on the right and left at the same time. In the rain, these huge craters are unfortunately not visible and you risk massive damage to the car. Cleanliness is not the first priority of this accommodation!!! Apart from the unsightly smell, it smelled like a wet dog, there is still enough hair left from the previous visitors... you didn't want to touch dishes and cutlery at all. Conclusion: Even if it is picturesquely located, the "boathouse" is a horror for guests who like cleanliness and cleanliness. And at this price, you should assume that this is guaranteed!

The property was visibly mouldy, with damp patches and smelly to the extent that it made me feel chesty, despite not having any pre-existing respiratory problems, so definitely avoid this if you have asthma, or just prefer not to smell like you have been kept in the loft for a year! It was so bad that I left half way through the week and returned home. A complete waste of my time and money, especially as it was a 26 hour round trip by car. When I complained to Sykes Cottages (prior to leaving) they were incredibly unhelpful and told me that I should just leave and go home if I was not satisfied. They refused to send anyone to look at the issues, refused to offer alternative accommodation and refused compensation. Completely useless customer service and I would never, ever book with them again.

Contrary to the description of a rural retreat, whilst remote, the property is adjacent to a slipway and active boat yard belonging to the fish farm, so there are tractors and cars arriving in the mornings seven days a week and fish food crates create a background smell. The cottage does have good views of the Loch and whilst a little tired we very much enjoyed watching the seals and were lucky enough to see an otter in front of the Boathouse. The surrounding landscape is fabulous and we enjoyed our stay. We asked before we went if there was a baking tray as we brought a leg of lamb to cook and there were no trays which would fit in the oven. There were other niggles but we always travel with supplies and nothing was insurmountable. If you are out and about each day, it may be ideal, the stove made it cosy and there was plenty of wood and coal supplied.

An absolutely stunning location, the view out of the lounge window is second to none. The property is exactly what we were looking for.

Remote and quiet with a beautiful view.

The view from the front window at Greshornish Boathouse was just fantastic. It was so calming and soothing gazing across the Loch and witnessing the vast wildlife come and go as they please. The Boathouse was a wonderful place to stay for our first visit to Skye. Very reasonably priced and plenty of walks within a half hour drive. Lovely to take our golden retriever with us to this beautiful place. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone.

Brilliant boathouse accommodation in a beautiful setting. Loved the picture window looking out onto the loch.

The location was perfect, the window looking out over the loch was stunning and kept our dog enraptured. It was peaceful and private yet not completely remote. Loved being at the end of the road, a good place to get away from the hassle of modern living with no phones or internet.

Hours were spent looking out at the wonderful sea views from the main window - with the cosy crackling of the wood burner in the background. Grateful for the abundance of information about local walks and recommendations for things to do in the local area. Very comfortable bed too!

We loved Greshornish Boathouse - it was exactly the kind of place we love to stay in; cosy and a little bit different. The views from the living room were amazing and it was wonderfully quiet and relaxing. We would love to go back for a longer stay some time. It was great to be able to bring our dogs too.

The Cottage was cosy and comfortable and well situated with some lovely walks right on the doorstep for the dog and a great base for touring the North West of Skye. I would definitely recommend for a quiet and relaxing holiday

Idyllic location and well-equipped, pretty cottage which was a good base from which to visit all other areas of the island. There was a good selection of books and DVDs. The multi-fuel stove made it very snug and the supply of fuel was generous.

The uniqueness of the accommodation was fantastic and the little beach next the property was perfect for the dogs. For a cottage that accepts dogs the cleanliness was excellent.

Wonderful secluded location. Ideal for getting away from not all. The Greshornish Boathouse was a gem and an ideal cosy base camp after long days exploring the locality.

The boathouse was in a beautiful, peaceful setting with fabulous views. The owner supplied directions to the boathouse and suggestions of things to do which were very useful and thoughtful. I would stay there again.

Fantastic location and view from the Boathouse window. We loved the quirkiness of the Boathouse which was great for two people. We appreciated them letting us bring our dog. It is lovely and cosy, liked it having two couches. Enjoyed it NOT having a signal for the mobile phones, great to escape.

Stunning views and peace and tranquillity.

The location was stunning, and so very peaceful. The cottage was really comfortable and away from it all. The view from the sitting room window was a slice of heaven.

We loved the peace and quiet provided by the location. The stunning views from simply looking out of the window. The multi-fuel heater thing being able to warm the whole house.

Wonderful views of the dawn across the water and the birds and animals. Glad we remembered our binoculars. Warm and cosy and felt friendly.

Lovely spot, very relaxing with no internet or phone signal. Magic

This property is superbly located for anyone wanting a complete escape to the country experience. It is isolated and peaceful, yet accessible. As townies it is not every day that you can see golden eagles in flight and watch seals in their natural habitat just a few minutes away from lovely accommodation.

Lovely quiet secluded spot with the loch at high tide lapping about 20 feet away. Wonderful view of the area, wildlife on the doorstep, salmon jumping in the loch, golden eagles whirring around, oyster catchers, curlews and red deer... fantastic.

The boathouse is totally romantic and in the heart of nature. We loved it!

We particularly liked the welcoming email with directions and ideas for things to do from owner/caretaker. Relaxed feel. Wonderful views and setting. This experience has restored our faith in self-catering holidays

The property is in an excellent position and we had a very good holiday.

An awesome setting and holiday home! If you want to get away from everything then I highly recommend!
