Another wonderful return to Seaside Beag. Amazingly dry weather has made it a perfect two weeks. Seaside Beag, as before, perfect. Many thanks for the welcome goodies!
October 2019 G and C
Perfect in every way. What a wonderful place to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. Had a lovely meal in Café Sia. Enjoyed a rather scary ride over to Applecross via Bealach na Ba – Pass of the Cattle, well worth it. Our third visit to Skye, and certainly not the last, it keeps calling us back.
October 2019 R and A
Thank you for the welcome pack, we’ve enjoyed another week in this lovely cottage. The weather has been changeable but we’ve managed to have some lovely walks. On Raasay we saw an otter in a little bay, we watched it for about 15 minutes before it scampered over rocks and out of sight. We also saw an otter on Friday from the cottage. It was fishing up and down in front of the window for half an hour. What a lovely way to end our holiday. We hope to be back very soon.
October 2019 C and G
Thank you for the welcome pack and lovely cottage. We have had a wonderful two weeks in Seaside Beag which is home from home and views that meant it was hard to go out and visit other areas of the island. On Sunday we walked to the New Pier and had views of an otter. On our return to the cottage and sat having lunch an otter appeared on the rocks with a fish. We had two more otter sightings over the two weeks. We visited most of the area, we have been on Skye many times and it was like the first time. We will return to Seaside next year.
September 2019 S and W
Fantastic cottage, very peaceful, views beautiful. Cannot fault anything. Thank you for the wine and shortbread, lovely touch for my wife and I. Weather was great as well, so did a lot of sightseeing. Great meal at Broadford Hotel. Would love to stay again.
September 2019 M and A
Do not want to leave this well equipped, well thought through cottage. Thank you for the gifts and sharing this with us. The cottage and the views have moved to the top of our memories list of outstanding beauty and pleasure.
September 2019 P and L
Our second visit here and don’t want to leave. A wonderful cottage that we could live in permanently. Weather fair to poor and still no otter sighted form the cottage. Hope to return again.
September 2019 A and K
Weather awful, Seaside Beag wonderful. Thank you for the welcome goodies. We hope to return.
August 2019 C and W
Second time at this wonderful cottage. Had a great week touring the island and beyond and was great to come back to the cottage and relax as it’s like a home form home. Hope it won’t be long til we come back for a third time.
August 2019 B and B
A very comfortable cottage, all mod cons and a great setting. Weather was- mostly! – pretty good as well!
July 2019 M and J
Such a beautiful cottage in a fabulous location. Will miss the evening visits form the seal. Highlight of the week was watching the otter fishing and eating right in front of the cottage for almost half an hour one evening. Great weather with just one day of “proper” Skye rain!
July 2019 K and S
Thank you for a perfect week at this beautiful cottage. Weather has been fine mostly. Have seen several seals but no otters sadly. We are sad to be leaving but will be back.
June 2019 D and C
Thank you for the wine, much appreciated. We celebrated my husband’s 60th birthday here, what a lovely comfortable cottage, well equipped and a lovely outlook. The weather has been perfect. Visited Plockton, Walked across the Skye Bridge, also had a long walk to find a beautiful beach at Sleat. Sad to leave but will definitely come back.
May-June 2019 J and P
Thank you very much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. Everything of a high standard and views to die for! Our friends recommended this place to us and we will recommend it to others. Enjoyed long walks in sunshine (and rain) and evenings by the fire, sipping red wine, looking out at the water. Goodies much appreciated.
May 2019 M and I
Thank you once again for another fab stay at this wonderful cottage. We’ve had another great stay here on Skye with 10 days of amazing blue skies and sunshine. Thanks too for welcome goodies, much appreciated.
May 2019 T and S
As always we are reluctant to leave, and looking forward to returning. It’s such a beautiful place we feel so much at home here and rested. Thank you for the wine. The fish and chip shop down the road is worth a visit. Many thanks to the cleaning team.
May 2019 A and R
Thank you again for providing us with your beautiful home, perfect for enjoying this lovely island.
April 2019 D and R
Another fantastic holiday at Seaside Beag and Skye. Weather was great, saw some beautiful scenery. Great pizza at the Siaway and nice fish and chips from the chip shop. Sitting outside we saw seals, herons, a golden eagle and an osprey. We even saw a submarine sail past. We look forward to coming back. P.S. saw the otter on our last day.
April 2019 S and S
As we are both retired we take holidays and breaks throughout Scotland as often as we can, but this is the best accommodation we have ever experienced – truly exceptional! The short break is over too soon, but we will be back! The best meals we had were at the Old Inn, Carbost and dinner along the road at the Claymore.
March 2019 A and D
Another wonderful week in this lovely cottage- even if the weather left a lot to be desired. We love our annual visits here. If you are looking for a special meal out, we can recommend Edinbane Lodge, near Dunvegan. Perfect for Sunday lunch! We live in hope that one of these days we’ll see the otter!
March 2019 N and P
You have such a wonderful place! We have had a really great time! Can’t wait to come back.
March 2019 N and M
A perfect relaxing holiday to celebrate a 50th birthday. The cottage is thoughtfully equipped and cosy. Caught a few fish, saw the otters and soaked in the amazing views. Many happy memories made.
February 2019 M and V
What a superb holiday we’ve had here in February no less! The cottage is so immaculate and well equipped.
January 2019 V
My stay here at the cottage was wonderful, so relaxing, the place and setting is first class, just perfect. Sad to be leaving, but look forward to my next visit.
March 2018 S and S
Another wonderful week at Seaside Beag (5th time). Weather great (most of the time). Wildlife good, eagles at Eynort, Talisker and Kylerhea. No otter sightings form the cottage, but recommend Kylerhea otter hide for good views of otters and seals. Café Sia for tasty pizzas. Hope to return again soon.
March 2018 A and D
A week in this lovely cottage just flies past! We had three lovely days and three wet and windy ones, but staying in and looking at the view is no hardship here. We can thoroughly recommend Café Sia, the Gabbro Bar and the Harbour restaurant for food. We were also thrilled to visit the new Torabhaig Distillery on its very first day of public opening.
February 2018 C and E
We have lost track of time here at Beag. It’s been such a magical trip that we have been transported to a different planet here in Skye and this note is hastily written because we wanted to stay as long as possible. Wonderful weather even when it’s cloudy and windy. Great hikes around the beaches and in the Cuillins. My second time in Skye but by far the best. No otters sighted but the urchins they pull up from the chilly depths are impressive themselves. I hope to reread this note within a decade.
February 2018 R and L
Short stay, long in the memory.
February 2018 S
A wonderful one week stay here. A mixed bag of weather but that only added to the holiday. The cottage is wonderful and really well equipped even down to flasks which came in handy for my hike up the Cuillins! I saw and photographed the resident otter while slightly offshore, great northern divers, Slavonian grebe, black guillemots and red breasted mergansers were all present! Thank you for the excellent welcome pack. I will look forward to a return soon.
December 2017 A and J
Thank you for the welcome pack on our arrival which was greatly appreciated. We’ve had another wonderful stay at your beautiful little cottage, everything is just perfect. We’ve seen seals at Torrin and also the otter came to see us yesterday in the bay outside the lounge. Decided to travel on trains and buses this year instead of the long drive. It was an amazing journey as the snow made the scenery so much more beautiful if that is possible. From the train, Glasgow to Fort William, we saw literally hundreds of stags and deer. Hopefully we’ll be back before too long.
December 2017 G and T
Booked in for a week but could have stayed longer. Cottage is perfect and wild life on the shore even better. Watched the otter fishing and coming on the shore to eat. Also saw the herons most mornings. Not bad weather for December – until hurricane Caroline visited us on Thursday. We would like to make our next visit earlier in the year so we can sit on the deck and enjoy the views. We have stayed in quite a few cottages in the past but this has been one of the best!
November 2017 C and R
We’ve had a lovely week on Skye. The cottage is perfect, it had everything we needed and more. The views were amazing! We loved watching the birds from the cottage and were lucky enough to see the otter one day. We will miss the cottage and falling asleep listening to the waves. Hopefully we will come back soon.
November 2017 R and K
We had a wonderful week in this beautiful cottage. Everything was perfect, especially the views, and we are so sad to leave. Thank you for the gifts on arrival, and for all the helpful information before and during our stay. We were very grateful for the maps and books and local tips, and the fireworks on our first night were a wonderful surprise! We hope we’ll be able to come back again.
November 2017 I and G
Two wonderful weeks despite mixed weather! House great as before, thank you. We shall be back.
September 2017 M and K
Our second visit to this lovely cottage. Another most enjoyable week on Skye. We hope we shall be able to return.
September 2017 B party
We’ve enjoyed our stay here again. The weather overall has been kind and we’ve seen the otter numerous times during our stay plus lots of different birds. We hope to visit again.
August 2017 A and R
We have really enjoyed our week in this lovely cottage. The views are amazing and we have enjoyed watching the herons and even saw the otter playing in the water. Visited many places Applecross, Elgol, Dunvegan, Carbost…the Oyster Shed is a must. We even did the turntable ferry. The road to Kylerhea is not for the faint hearted but is really well worth it. Really looking forward to returning to this beautiful island.
August 2017 R & K, Lancashire

Hope to return again next year sometime.”
March 2017 A & D, Fife
“This was our fourth spring visit to this lovely cottage, and we’ve had a wonderful time. Sunshine and blue skies for most of the week meant for most of the week we were able to take long walks at Neist Point, Armadale and Glen Sligachan. A highlight was the boat trip from Portree, when a sea eagle snatched up a fish right next to the boat.”
March 2017 I & E, Sunderland

March 2017 D & A, Edinburgh
“We have had the most relaxing holiday of all time, Seaside Beag is a delight, it is a real home from home, everything has been so well thought out, I could not fault it. When we arrived it was dark and the cottage was really cosy, the housekeeper had everything spotless …... It was however when we opened the curtains in the morning that we were blown away by our ever changing views, thanks so much. We will be back for sure.”
March 2017 J & G, Falkirk

‘We have had a ‘PERFECT’ get-away! Your property is of such a high standard and we couldn’t approve on anything, especially the location. …..

It has been a truly amazing holiday.’
April 2013 D & L, North Yorkshire
‘We’ve been coming to Skye for over 10 years and this cottage is by far the best accommodation we’ve stayed in. We’ll definitely be back sooner than later. We had mixed weather, with the end of the week being particularly wet – even for Skye! However, the views of the ever-changing seascape from the windows made up for the poor weather.’
April 2013 R & H, Greater Manchester
‘Thank you so much for the beautiful cottage. Nothing to fault. This is our first (but hopefully not our last) visit to the Isle of Skye and it is STUNNING. The weather could have been friendlier but hey! This is Scotland. Highly recommend the boat trip from Portree sea eagles and golden eagles.’

Skye is a lovely place, full of changing light and scenery; we came with our wet weather gear and we wore our wet weather gear; this house was perfect to come home to.’
February 2013 A & H, Nottinghamshire
‘Great cottage in a great location. If you get up at sunrise you’ll be rewarded with amazing views & the otter on the shore (NB patience & good binoculars required).

as good a week as we have!’

July 2012 M & C, Merseyside
‘From the minute we set sight on the view from this window it has been difficult to drag ourselves away from it.

February 2012 G & E, Glasgow
‘We had a very relaxing time, don’t need to explain about how comfortable this place is. What we were surprised about was how we felt as if we were in the middle of nowhere, by the view, yet how handy this place is for the Co-op, etc. Good location for touring Sleat as well as elsewhere and to Kyle and Plockton. ….. Jealous of whoever is next!!’
