This was the most wonderful place to stay!

The view was spectacular. The cabin had everything we needed in the kitchen. My only comments would be that they could use some fluffy pillows for the beds and have a washer/dryer as the clothes did not airdry in time for our departure despite having 12 hours to airdry. I loved that there was a bottle of wine, coffee, and milk provided. It made my friend's birthday extra special, so thank you!

Stunning location and a great place to celebrate Christmas

The cabin was very comfortable and well equipped. The view from the large window/door was incredible. The only downside was inconsiderate neighbours who returned to the cabin long after midnight, every night, and made a lot of noise before settling down.

Stunning view.

Stayed in Sleat lodge for a week. Absolutely stunning view from the living room window, sat for nearly 2 hours the first night watching the colour changing view. The lodge was very well equipped and clean.

Very nice and comfortable accomodation, a bit smelly though

Very good facilities and a very nice welcome with some cakes and drinks. The lodge was a bit smelly though, probably because of previous visited dogs. The location on the Isle of Sleat is beautiful but also a bit out of the way if you want to see more of the Isle of Sky.

What an amazing place to get away from things. Views were amazing !

Loved the Sleat lodgings. Views were amazing and really enjoyed the property. We had an issue with the washing machine, but they were quick to help us out and went out of the way to accommodate us. The accommodation had all the kitchen items that were needed. It was nice to be able to have that space as a family. The kids loved the outdoors and watching the sunrise over the water was fantastic.

Amazing location and service

Very attentive staff who went over and above expectations. Attention to detail was superb and the little touches, such as milk in the fridge and snacks were welcomed. Email part-way through the stay to ensure everything was as it should be was a nice surprise. Particular mention for Elizabeth for the friendly and helpful emails. Highly recommended. Only thing I would improve on was that there was a coffee pod machine but no pods. Instant coffee was, however, provided. Thank you.
