Fantastic place
We loved our stay at Lochside. It had everything we needed to make our visit comfortable, easy and memorable. Thank you so much!!

Amazing!
Everything from booking to check out (and waving bye to the house) was really smooth! The property itself is spectacular and the views from every window in the house takes your breath away. I forgot how many photos I took just of the Loch in the morning or late evening. The rooms are cosy, the facilities are excellent and the wine on arrival made it feel like a special weekend. We're already looking to book up again this year! I guarantee anyone who stays here will NOT be disappointed.

Lochside Homestay
Spectacular location on the river side and a warm setup inside the Homestay. It’s the best location near Portree and close to the sea. The property has great facilities which makes the stay easy and smooth.

Fantastic location
Perfect location to visit some of the best attractions of the island: Quiraing, old man of Storr, Jurassic coast. The cottage is very well equipped with a surprisingly good WiFi. Every room with a beautiful view of the Loch.

Simply Amazing
We stayed here for a week and were simply blown away. Lochside is a great property to stay in. Everything that you would need for a week self catering (not including your food and drink) were provided. The views from Just about every windows are amazing. The property is warm. The Sofa and chairs are so comfortable as are the beds. The bath and the view from the window are simply amazing. The toiletries smell great (we have already bought some on our way home). It's very well situated for exploring the north end of the island. We did a bit of walking and a lot of driving but we loved every minute of being here.

Great cottage with a wonderful view
We hadn't originally booked lochside, however due to an unfortunately double booking, we were offered it as an alternative. The cottage is amazing - quiet with a lovely view of the loch an local sheep/lambs. Ben and his team were so helpful and everything was in order for our stay. we only wish we could have stayed longer.

Brilliant House and holiday
Lochside is a very well appointed house, in a stunning location. Very private and has tremendous views. The house was very clean on arrival. In fact very helpfully we received a text to let us know that the house was ready for us ....one hour earlier than stated. Ben, who manages the renting of the house was very professional, personable and promptly responsive to our communications with him. Our stay in Lochside contributed to a fantastic holiday on Skye.

Fantastic stay
We had a lovely stay at Lochside. It was even nicer than the pictures. Light, airy, comfortable with gorgeous views of the Loch and surrounding mountains. We would definitely recommend this place to others and would absolutely stay here again.

Lochside
A beautiful location in a great area to explore beautiful Skye. The house is lovely and the manager was very quick to resolve a couple of issues.

Lochside
Awesome scenery, the house was a little difficult to find but we did arrive after dark, which we weren’t expecting to do. About 16 miles back into Portree which is a nice village where the Arona cafe is definitely worth a visit for breakfast / coffee. The roads get a little dicey if you head north of staffin but an adventure

An amazing week at Lochside
This was our second time at Lochside in as many years and it was even better than the first time. The property was really clean and tidy when we arrived. The weather was very good and the views are simply stunning (i could stare out at the loch all day and night) Ben and his team are fab. We were informed before we arrived of a small issue and it was dealt with in good time without any disruption. What really topped this stay was that half way through our stay i got an alert on my phone that the Aurora may be visible, so we rushed outside (in shorts and a tee shirt) and sure enough we got some stunning pictures of the aurora (it was also visible with the naked eye). It was absolutley amazing to see. We will be back here in the future i can guarantee it.

Beautiful Home!
We loved our stay at Lochside. The home had everything we needed and it was so beautifully decorated. We loved the view and the quiet of the loch and it was the perfect place to explore Skye from. Ben was so helpful and we had got all our questions answered! We would highly recommend.

Lochside - great location for exploring Skye
The Lochside house is well located and a nice quiet place from which to explore the Trotternish peninsula of Skye. Beautiful view through large windows. The house was spotless. A problem was that there were no instructions for managing any of the equipment --- including the heat. Several amenities were not functional (e.g., a CD player with DVD disks). The exhaust fan developed an annoying tick sound and flashing light which was difficult to turn off, and appeals to the management company (through email) were not answered. In summary, with some updating and information for visitors, the rating for Lochside would be easily improved since the location is great.

Excellent Stay
We had a wonderful three night stay here. The place is clean. The Manager, Ben, was mighty helpful and kind. Check-in and check-out were both made easy. The view is stunning as is the place. We’ll be sure to return. :)

Location, location, location
Within the easiest reaches of Quiraing and the Old Man. It was great to come back to a nice and warm home after a big hike. The communication was clear and constant. I would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Accommodations, Wonderful Location
Lochside, while being a half hour drive out of Portree, is a wonderful place to stay. Fabulous renovation, overlooking a loch, great beds, absolutely quiet and serene. We loved it.

Fab 10 Nights
We had a great 10 nights at Lochside. This is our Fourth time and we are back for no 5 very soon. Lochside is so tranquil and the view is amazing over the loch. The weather wasn't great but it did not stop us doing what we wanted and even on the day the rain was coming down side ways the view over the loch is amazing. We had a couple of issues that were resolved by the team as quickly as possible and as usual we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lochside and Skye serviced accommodation to anyone.

Excellent 6 Nights
Had another fantastic stay at Lochside. This property is fantastic. Ideally located in a quiet location near to the small loch. We love coming here and we are sure to be back soon. Everything you need to prepare food is available (make sure you get our supplies in Portree before you head up, there is a small store in Staffin for milk and other bits and pieces). It's easy to get to most places from the property in the car. About a 30min drive back down to Portree. The Quaraing is a 10 min drive and is well worth a few visits. We are looking forward to our next visit to Skye and to Lochside.

Beautiful house situated at an excellent location. Ideal for making walks and enjoy the beautiful nature.

Everything great but beds.
Beautiful house, only complaint is the beds were very uncomfortable, like felt mattress springs digging into you uncomfortable. For a place this expensive, why not update the mattresses? Also, we knew it would be this way going into it, but you really are remote. If you like being closer to restaurants, shops etc. this is not the place. But if you like being remote, this is the place! Otherwise very clean, beautiful property, bath rooms are phenomenal!

Sublime stay at Lochside
We would highly recommend staying at Lochside. It was peaceful and every need was catered for. A welcoming bottle of wine and wood for the fire. The views of the swans on the loch were heavenly. Lochside was just a beautiful place to soak in a little bit of Skye.

Fantastic stay
We had a wonderful 3-day stay. The house was wonderful, well equipped and had amazing views to the lake. It was also really close to the Old man storr and many other must visit places. Perfect choice to stay at Skye for a couple of days!
