Doug's place is wonderful, especially for pet owners. When we moved to Scotland, we were at this location for a month while waiting on a long term let. The dogs absolutely loved the big yard and the cows next door. Doug was very accommodating to many of our needs with moving to the UK. The neighbour's are great also. Wonderful folks.

Maison super bien située avec vue sur les Montagnes de l'ile de Skye et au bord de Mer. Très bonne communication avec notre hôte. Je recommande cette maison et je remercie Doug pour les petites attention à notre arrivée. Maison très propre et très bien équipée.
