5 Star Rated by our guests

The best way to know if a place is right for you is to hear from those who’ve already been. Here’s what our guests say about their time at Shorefield.

  • The cottage is large and well equipped and was immaculate when we arrived. In fact we could smell a fresh coat of paint so it’s well looked after! It’s located in a quiet part of the island so was very tranquil during the day and the stars really come out on clear nights due to the lack of light pollution....Read More

  • Ideal location as a base for exploring Skye. Handy for the remote and scenic Talisker Bay as well as the drive down via the Fairy Pools to Glen Brittle. The cottage was immaculate, warm, comfortable and well equipped. Ample outside space to relax and take in the wonderful views. The host was responsive to any questions. We would stay again.

  • Fantastic single-storey bungalow style holiday home. The location is just stunning, and peaceful and quiet. Still handy for what passes for main roads on Skye though 🙂 so you’ve got the shops and facilities not too far away. For beautiful views and calming peace, this is the place. The accomodation is well apointed and all the usual amenities are present,...Read More
