An unforgettable experience
It was an absolute delight staying at Lorraine's property. Her hospitality was one of the highlights, from a lovely welcome letter to helpful recommendations and more, she is a delightful host. And the property, myyyyy gooodnessss, the property. Absolutely stunning. Sheep, cows, and rabbits everywhere, incredible views, and the friendliest man, Alan, taking care of the sheep. We had a wonderful time and wish we could have stayed for a month.

Unfortunately we were unable to stay because of an accident prior to our arrival. Our host was very understanding and checked on us. Very kind. We will try again next time!

Homely in an amazing Highland setting
This is our second stay at Willie McCleods cottage . Which says we mean it is a perfect place for people like ourselves to stay . We traveled with our Working Springer Spaniel & Patterdale . They could watch from the windows of the cottage , for hours at the rabbits and backdrop . It’s set in a working farm land with local shepherd Alan tending to his sheep & his team of several collies . With this in mind , always sensible to lead walk in the immediate vicinity. 10 minutes walk and you are immersed in open countryside. The Quiraing Hills very clearly in sight straight at the front of the cottage . I photographed two sea eagles from here. The cottage with wood burner and full equipped kitchen makes for a pleasant comfy stay . Half wished for bad weather to enjoy a lazy indoors day . But we have a habit of bringing blue skies with us .. and whether it’s an early sunrise walk to the bothy on Rhuba Hunish or a very short 5 minute car journey and you are set on track for a walk through the Quiraing Hills . We’ve travelled quite a bit to far stretches of South America etc.. But wow .we are blown away by the walks local to this cottage . Looking forward to seeing Alan the shepherd in lambing season next year. Overdue a wee dram with him . Thank you for letting us stay again Lorraine 😊

Could have been much better
Pros: property was clean, 2 bathrooms were a definite plus, washer/dryer were nice to have. Close to Rubha Hunish trail. Cons: when we got there the heat had not been turned up, the setting on the wall register was 8 C (46 F). It was a cold, windy and rainy day so we were ready to be warm. We all kept our coats on and started a fire. (But if you used all the wood you had to pay to get more). The owner had texted me and knew we were coming at 5 so we were not sure why the heat wasn't on. The house really didn't warm up for more than 24 hours. There was a very strong cold draft coming in from under the door we blocked with pillows. Hot water only from 7am-9am and 4pm-7pm. Shower has its own hot water but was so difficult to regulate you couldn't stand under it as it was either cold or scortching. One in our party took a bath because she couldn't get the shower temp to regulate. Owner was contacted about the heat and when hot water was available but she only gave hours for water and didn't adress heat. Listing make house appear much much closer to the coast than it actually is. Would not stay here again

Perfect spot to see Skye
We had a lovely stay at the croft house. The house was well appointed, beds were comfortable and check in was easy. The view is spectacular. If you want to see local cows, pups, and rabbits, they are all present in the neighboring yards. Really lovely place.

A lovely place.
My wife and I stayed at this Croft House for two nights. It is in the countryside and minutes from the ocean. Lorainne left us a sheet explaining everything and our time there was very relaxing. The fireplace was wonderful as well.

Wonderful croft house in a beautiful out of the way location.
We loved the house and the location even though it was a bit of a drive but well worth it for the views. Lorraine was very responsive and helped us out as needed.

Dream Come True
From the first point of contact with Lorraine the communication was prompt, very friendly and helpful. The property is absolutely wonderful! Spotlessly clean and very comfortable...in fact it felt like home. The location is stunning! Incomparable! Our only sadness was that we didn't book Willie McLeod's for longer 😊 Thanks again for your lovely hospitality, Lorraine.
