Absolutely perfect stay at Mint Croft! "Our recent stay at Mint Croft was an absolute dream! Friendly, quiet, beautiful, comfortable, meticulously clean...we were torn trying to decide whether to spend all of our time in our gorgeous rooms, or outside in the spectacular scenery. Shaz & Ali have a rare gift for creating a stylish yet perfectly relaxing space. From the spa bathroom, cozy bedrooms, and delicious breakfasts, to the adorable lambs and breathtaking views from your windows- we were overwhelmed by every single detail! I CANNOT recommend this property highly enough- you will not find a more lovely place on the Isle of Skye. Looking forward to staying there again in the future!"

Unique "This place is stunning - with the most incredible views over the sea which photos can not do justice to, you have to go there to properly experience it. We stayed in the blackhouse - it has a bench outside and sitting on this in the mornings looking over the sea is one of my best memories of our 2 week holiday in Scotland. The accommodation itself is really beautifully designed and comfortable. We’re looking forward to our next stay."

Little piece of heaven - We had a wonderful stay at Mint Croft on our honeymoon and didn't want to leave. I can't remember how we stumbled upon Shaz and Ali's gorgeous place, but if you're reading this don't hesitate to book - it's cosy, romantic, beautifully designed accommodation with stunning views and close to some of the best walks and restaurants on the island (book ahead!). We hope to be back very soon!

Perfect spot for an elopement! We came to Skye to elope in Fairy Glen and could not have been happier with our stay at Mint Croft. The view from the Blackhouse is amazing no matter the time of day and changes all day long. It's located in a remote area, but close to several amazing restaurants. Definitely unforgettable, I'd recommend a stay here to anyone!

Just back from a wonderful trip to Scotland. We had the pleasure of staying at Mint Croft. As per all of their amazing reviews, our stay was perfect. The cottage is lovely, you will want for nothing. Mint Croft exudes warmth and hospitality. The setting is peaceful. Just book it. You will not regret your choice.

Absolutley gorgeous "Beautifully and uniquely decorated with a peaceful feel. Spectacular views right outside the room and even in the room through the windows. The remote location makes it challenging to get to but it is worth it to make the trip because the setting is so pastoral and beautiful."

Beautiful and Cozy Hideout on Skye! "Ali and Shaz have a wonderful set-up! The cottages are beautiful, clean and highlight the amazing surroundings. Close to some amazing restaurants in Loch Bay and the best parts of Skye. Truly a five-star experience, can't go wrong with a stay at Mint Croft."
