Driftwood Cottage Skye, 2 bedroom , Spectacular Seaview, close to Quiraing

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property overlooking Staffin Bay. We enjoyed viewing the beach down the hillside from inside on the cozy rocking chair. It’s very close to The Quiraing and hiking the full circuit is a fantastic trail with spectacular views. Just get to the car park by 8am on clear days, you want a clear day! We would rent this place again for sure, it’s been one of the best properties we’ve encountered during our 3 weeks in the UK."
