The views from the garden and bedrooms are spectacular. The location gives you tranquility without feeling too isolated. It is also well placed to access the quieter parts of Skye. Excellent standard of cleanliness. The large and secure garden is a godsend if you have children and/or dogs. The property comes with everything you’d need, kitchen well equipped, fast WIFI for streaming TV shows, powerful shower, decent sized bedrooms and ample storage. Tide permitting there is a quiet beach about 10 mins walk from the property.

Hawthorne Dene dog friendly holiday cottage on Skye will not disappoint. Doug thoughtfully sent ahead copies of the most recent newspapers, so we were in the loop with current events on the island. Doug was happy to assist with queries and was an attentive host, whilst allowing for our privacy. The cottage is conveniently placed – while also in such a beautiful, peaceful setting. It is clean and has everything you could possibly need, with treats left for all (including our dog!) on our first evening! Highly recommend. Thank you for a 5 star stay.

The cottage is perfect, a true home away from home and so comfortable and cosy. Set in a stunning location, with amazing mountain views from the garden and only a short walk to a beautiful beach.

Absolutely fantastic cosy and clean little cottage. Lovely safe enclosed garden for the dogs – they loved the garden. Everything you would need is supplied and the hosts are absolutely wonderful. Already booked again for next year. Wonderful.

Fabulous cottage! We absolutely loved our stay and have already booked to come back next year.

“3rd time here and feels nicer each time we visit. Lovely place, lovely surroundings. Great garden for dogs and clean comfortable house. A couple of lovely cafes close by.”

“This cottage was outstanding, with such attention to detail that a whole family could move in and not need anything but clothes! It was so well equipped and the location was perfect. We drove all around Skye and didn’t come across anywhere better to stay. When we return it will be to Hawthorne Dene!”

“This was our second stay at Hawthorn Dene, and it certainly won’t be our last. We really enjoyed our stay, the croft is well furnished with all you could want for a comfortable stay, and is superbly located for a quieter experience of Skye, whilst being close enough to access lots of interesting places.”

“Beautiful, comfortable, well equipped cottage in the perfect location. Stunning views. Will book again”
