Customer Reviews of The Croft House, Milovaig, Skye, sleeps 4
1st comment: A very comfortable home-from-home, with fantastic views out of the windows over Loch Pooltiel & to the Outer Hebrides. The light is always changing, & there is always something different to see. We were lucky to see a white-tailed sea eagle and a pod of dolphins from the bay window at the front of the house. Very helpful caretaker & very clean and well-presented accommodation. Highly recommended! Aug 2011.
2nd comment: Croft House is spacious, nicely decorated and very clean. It offers lots of home comforts including a washer drier which is sometimes needed due to Skye’s temperamental weather. The views out of the front windows are breathtaking and change daily with the weather. Due to Croft House not entertaining our four legged friend we are unable to return, but would recommend this charming house to anyone of any age. April 2011.

10th comment: The setting, overlooking the loch and with views out to the islands. This wasn’t really advertised so was a great surprise when we arrived. Very clean and nicely furnished, making a comfortable home for the week. Also great information and guides provided. Couldn’t really fault it. Aug .
11th Comment Nice view, lots of space, clean, nice extras such as DVDs and CDs, and a very very nice and fast caretaker! July .
12th Comment The Croft House was a delight - spacious, clean, airy and extremely well-organised - everything you could wish for, plus the real fire and the wonderful views out across the loch and out to sea. The property in fact was much bigger than it appeared in the photographs.
13th Comment The accommodation was beautifully presented, with a great attention to detail. Everything we could possibly need was there and set up ready to go.
