Comments from our guests……………….

“A great place to spend the New Year. Came to visit friends locally….Had some great walks, weather….wet,wet,wet!! But nothing was going to dampen our spirits!!

Great cottage, felt completely at home as soon as we stepped through the door, and the back bed was sooooo comfortable…..that  was better than home.”

‘Who would have believed we would have a whole week of beautiful weather here on Skye in November! Sitting here with the wonderful sea and blue skies we feel so reluctant to set off down South. Our visit here has been perfect, so relaxing and unwinding. The cottage is just such a perfect home with so many thoughtful touches,  comfortable beds and warm and stylish with room for everyone to do their thing. Thank you Meena and Chris for the privelege of being able to stay in such a special place. We’ll be back as soon as maybe!!’

‘ The only thing that tops this extraordinary view is the exceptional warmth and hospitality of Meena and Chris! Rainbow Cottage has been the ideal home away from home for a perfectly relaxing and comfortable respite from the crazy noise and pace of everyday life. Utterly restorative. Cheers for now but hope to see you again in the Spring….’

‘We’ve had a brilliant week with some of the most entertainingly varied weather ever – I think we have seen phenomena we never knew existed. The rainbow count has been high! As you know the sea eagle count has also been very high, including up and down the bay, and the best place to watch the seals was definitely Loch Dunvegan – magical. The cottage and the view have been fantastic – thanks for laying on that sunset last Saturday night. Much appreciated. We’ve had a series of completely lazy mornings just gazing out of the window, counting the buzzards. Last night’s Indian meal was also amazing – you are Skye’s culinary genius, as is your assistant! We will definitely recommend you to everyone we know . See you soon!

‘Dear Meena and Chris. We thank you so much for the wonderful stay in your fantastic Rainbow Cottage! Twenty years ago we were here on our honeymoon journey and now back with our two sons. We enjoyed all: your fantastic indian meal, the head massage, the beautiful and scenic view to the Outer Hebrides, our walks and sunset at Neist Point….and you both. We will surely be back again.’

‘Dear Meena and Chris. Every evening we tried to be in time in your really wonderful cottage to wait for the sunset. And we saw one of the most fantastic sunsets ever. Out of mist and rain……………there was suddenly the miracle! Thanks for all your good advice………we made wonderful walks.’

‘Had a fantastic time, had lovely warm and sunny weather and did some fab walks, Storr and Quiraing. The cottage was fab and had everything we needed and we loved watching the sunset every evening. Meena’s head massage was soooo………….. relaxing and set me up for a chilled out holiday! We will definitely be back for another visit to this beautiful island and cottage.  The hospitality of Meena and Chris ws also second to none, thankyou so much.’

‘The views of Lochbay were scintillating from the cottage windows and the gardens were very soothing and well maintained. Hospitality from Chris was superb, although we did miss the presence of Meena after reading about her from other comments. My parents were visiting us from India and they enjoyed this place and the whole of Skye overall with the untouched beauty and the walks around the key destinations. We would definitely come back.’

‘Our first visit to Rainbow Cottage but it won’t be our last. Skye has so much to offer, to see and to do, that we will be back – and why stay anywhere else? Rainbow Cottage has the best situation, views and comforts; surely.

Rainbow Cottage exceeded our expectations, it has been so much more than we could hope for. The kitchen was well stocked with all the tools we needed and the comforts of the rest of the cottage made it a joy to arrive ‘home to’, relaxing in style after long days exploring. Clever planting outside accentuating the dramatic views and allowing a full and glorious aspect from the superb windows. Went for superb drives and walks – recommend Waternish Point lighthouse- we saw porpoise, minke whale, seals, gannets and gulls and skuas; all in one afternoon! If Meena offers a home-cooked meal, take her up on it! – you’ll be glad you did – a delicious (and cosy) meal.’

After a wonderful welcome from Chris and Meena the week got better and better. We have travelled the island visiting galleries and meeting interesting people. The cottage itself is superb- very comfortable and with magnificent views. Watch out for the eagles!! We are certainly intending to return in the very near future. Thankyou again for a lovely refreshing holiday.’

‘Dear Meena and Chris

We were very happy to come to Rainbow Cottage and it was nice to meet, talk and have fun with you both. The location of the cottage is quite unique. We relished the peace and tranquility, the beautiful and unspoiled scenery and surroundings, the beautiful views at different light conditions all across the day – and, of course, the amazing sunsets. There must be relatively few places where one can sit in the lounge and have such a view. Everything was just perfect for a great R&R holiday. Thankyou for making that possible.’

‘ We have enjoyed a fantastic week’s holiday in Skye – and particulary been lucky in staying at Rainbow Cottage. We have had beautiful sunny weather most of the week so have been able to appreciate fully the beautiful scenery. Of all the cottages we have stayed in this is the best and also has definitely the best views. Meena and Chris have been so welcoming and helpful and Meena’s meal was superb.’

‘We’ve had a fantastic time – just what we’d hoped for and more! The cottage is a delight and the views absolutely mesmerising. Would love to have stayed longer – wish to return- and shall definitely ’spread the word’. Thankyou Meena and Chris for making us feel so welcome and nothing too much trouble to ask! Just wish we could have fitted in the head massage too!

‘Rainbow Cottage was even better than we had hoped. We loved the fantastic views and ever changing light. We loved the rainbows and sunsets, the gannets and the small ‘garden’ birds – especially the siskins on the peanut feeder in front of the lounge. When we could take our eyes off the view we loved exploring and the great walks, too. Thankyou both for being so kind and helpful – we couldn’t have wished for anywhere better to stay – a brilliant cottage in a brilliant location.’

‘Our trip, although short, has been crammed full of wonderful scenery, amazing sights, fantastic hospitality and comfort second to none. Thankyou Meena and Chris, your cottage is fabulous – complete with rainbow one morning! The indian meal was superb and our head massages sooooo good! You have done a brilliant job; so welcoming and friendly. We will tell all our friends. The views are incredible.’

‘ This is a perfect spot! What more can we say! Great attention to detail in the cottage. Very comfortable with wonderful views. This is my third visit – not such good weather this time but the island looks great whatever the weather. We’ll be back – promise! You’ve looked after us so well!
