There have been wonderful sightings of the Northern Lights on Skye in late September and early October and this is due to continue all winter. We have just spent a lovely sunny and breezy week on Skye - the autumn and winter can be wonderful - Skye is quiet but the weather can be wild and spectacular.
Forthcoming Events: Valentines Day
Here are a selection of comments made by guests throughout the summer and autumn........
I just wanted to say thank you for a lovely holiday. We loved your cottage, and because we knew you are going to live there it felt really homely and we were privileged to be there. We saw the deer several times as they seemed to have a daily routine walking across the crofts at a certain time of day. We also saw 4 Golden Eagles all out at the same time. We walked to the pub in Stein several times, using the forestry track as a short cut, a lovely short walk. We also treated ourselves at the seafood restaurant, it was really good. A lovely holiday, thank you!

The stunning views and cosy cottage have made this a soul nourishing time indeed! Last night the Milky Way was hovering overhead and this morning the clean warm sunshine and sparkling sea made us never want to leave. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We will long remember our time here and the solitude and quiet beauty will help to carry us through the chaos of Cairo.

I think I've just found Paradise! Fantastic cottage and location. That view! And on a clear and starry night, wow. Thanks again for a get away from it all holiday, sad to be leaving.

Thank you for the use of Green Pastures which we thoroughly enjoyed. In terms of wildlife we did spot a deer in the grass at the front of the croft and saw most days a kestrel hovering around. The cuckoo was of course ever present, which came a surprise for us as thought they did not venture that far North – so much for our knowledge of the natural world. We did spot a minky whale off Neish point which was lovely as well as three eagles on our way home, although the holiday was not all about wildlife spotting and was very relaxing. Thank you again for allowing us to share in Green Pastures and hope that your bookings for the rest of the year go well.

Thank you Helen & Bob, we really enjoyed our stay here in your lovely well equipped cottage. Superb accommodation, breathtaking views, and lovely walks. Just wanted to drop a line and say thank you for letting the cottage to us. We really enjoyed our stay and sampled the delights of the The Three Chimneys, Stein Inn and Loch Bay as well as the cliff top walk and a hike in the Cuillin. We also visited the Talisker distillery as well as Portree which is charming and thankfully saw it in the special ray of sunshine which came our way that day. The cotttage is lovely and really really comfortable and in such a beautiful spot.Fantastic cottage and location - a really relaxing and get away from it all place, thank you.
