Very nice location, Very nice property, once you've found it.
Definitely the nicest place we have stayed on Skye. A modern property that tends to be quite warm, easily fixed by opening the beach facing doors. You get hand soap, but remember to being your own toiletries. Fully fitted kitchen and a main living room that's wonderful. A large TV, Internet and Alexa device (Don't ask it about the local weather or anything like that as it is registered in England, Morpeth to be precise!). My only issue with the living room was how the table had been placed across the patio sliding door. So you have this wonderful beach view, that is obscured by a table.
One other thing was annoying. The owner produced a very detailed welcome pack and in that he instructed on how to find the property, but even with that, we got lost on first accessing the cottage. The entrance to the property is via another property, I assume owned by others. So it doesn't look like the property advertised and so you carry on past. To get to the actual property you have to turn into this owner's "driveway" and then turn immediately right, towards what looks like a random gate. The road down to the cottage has been freshly graveled and it snakes round and down to reveal the cottage. This whole process could be resolved by using two signs. One at the gate to the road facing property, the other on the "random gate", advertising 4 Caroy Bay Cottage.
That would let guests know that they were in the right place!
However, I would stay here again without a second thought!
