Lovely team, great location, million dollar view.

Heavenly spot on the island with the best view, close to the fairy and other amenities. The cabin is cozy and practical and focuses on comfort and space. The bath tub is an extra plus. A cozy blanket for the couch and some dimmable / smaller lights would just be a welcome addition to an already lovely accommodation. The team was super and besides quick response and helpful answers they also were up for friendly chat and extra recommendations about the island. Thank you for the great stay.

Our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable.

We loved the cabin space inside and out. Inside was very relaxing and had everything to unwind after traveling for a few days. Outside the view was amazing and you felt you had your own private space in Scotland to enjoy some time from traveling. The location is great to explore from, to the Armadale Castle to all other destinations throughout the entire Isle of Skye. Highly recommended!

Fantastic, beautiful, remote accommodation.

Antrim cabin was perfect. The kitchen was well equipped, the cabin was clean, and located close to the ferry. We were on food and public transit which isolates you to the area around Armadale - but we still had plenty to explore and do. Just plan dinner in your cabin as there are limited options! I already miss watching the cute sheep out the back window.

Definitely coming back!

What a gem! We spent 3 nights on Skye as part of a month-long trip and I really wish it had been longer. As a group of 4 adults, we had plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable.

Our stay at Armadale lodges was good.

Our stay was nice and we enjoyed the lovely Gardens and restaurant, only issue we had was we could hear next door up and about through the night which wasn’t great considering we picked these lodges because we had read good stuff about them, we done A lot of outdoor walking and activities which mean’t getting a good sleep would have helped a lot! Every night since we arrived we were woken throughout the night by this issue. Which made our stay less enjoyable.

Staycation to one of the few Scottish Isles not yet visited by us for bird watching and culture

4 days and five nights with fine weather on two days, one wet day and one changeable. Armadale gardens were amazing and we also appreciated the magnificence of Cuillins. Also good restaurants available nearby and across the island

Excellent holiday in comfortable accommodation with stunning views across Sound of Sleat..

We couldn’t have asked for better views from the cabin and it’s patio, an instant brain cleanse every morning. The accommodation was clean and comfortable with all the equipment needed for a self-catering holiday, including many things that are often missing such as washing up liquid etc. There were lovely touches too like complimentary milk in the fridge and a nice bottle of wine. Friendly staff were readily available, helping us with a family matter that went above and beyond. Hope to be back!

A real home from home with an amazing view to the mainland

From the moment we arrived and met Elizabeth and her colleague from guest services we were giving a lovely warm welcome. The accommodation was perfect and had everything we needed and more besides. Some lovely extra touches as well just to make us feel really welcome. Well done to the team, five stars.
