What our guests say
Get a sense of staying on Skye through the wonderful reviews by visitors who have enjoyed the tranquility and comfort of the cottages at Mint Croft.
We have booked again for next year and are telling our friends to do the same!
The Croft House Cottage works well for two couples and offers a lot of privacy. We have been traveling to Skye for 35 years and know what we’re talking about.
The new owners, James and Carolina were warm and available hosts and have created an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable rental property on the gorgeous Waternish peninsula. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking of all kinds and the art work and ceramics that decorate the spaces are neutral yet inspirational. We especially loved the maps!

We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous property!
Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of for us and it was truly the best experience we have ever had renting a property. Such a gorgeous location - we saw deer, hawks, dolphins and even the Northern Lights! Close to wonderful restaurants and plenty to do in the area.
Coming back to this cozy, clean and stunning home was the icing on the cake every day.

This is truly a property to be enjoyed as a destination, rather than just a place to rest your head at night...
...and I can’t wait for a return visit. Next time, I hope to stay longer and make better use of the kitchen, take walks from the cottage (and more hikes around Skye in general), and eat at more of the excellent (and Michelin-starred) restaurants within driving distance.
We loved Croft House Cottage!

The Isle of Skye has breath-taking beauty and the best way to observe it is to travel to Geary and stay at the historic Mint Croft.
The location is stunning and the peaceful tranquility is amazing. The crofts themselves have been re-built with utmost care and are an excellent location from which to hike, visit the restaurants of Stein OR simply walk the street while buying pie, or eggs or Scottish tablet from the neighbor's 'trust boxes.'

Absolutely would recommend if you're looking for excellent lodging with a chance to relax.
Beautiful location, excellent cottage(s), and accomodations are absolutely first-rate. It's in the far-reaches of Waternish so, be prepared for a lot of single-track roads but once you're there? It's incredible views across to Uig and access to some of the best that Skye has to offer (Stein Hotel, Edinbane Lodge, etc).

Greatly enjoyed our stay here!
Especially enjoyed meeting the neighbors, visiting Donnie's delicious Tablet Shed, trying Jann's haggis and cakes, and so appreciated Marie's instructions on how to hike down to a nearby beach which we had all to ourselves!
We have never seen so many stars in the sky, as we have at Mint Croft Blackhouse, a truly spectacular location! The host was also very responsive to our inquiries.

Wonderful house in every way.
Cozy, clean, and beautiful views.

This place is heaven on earth!
Thank you Carolina and James for the warm welcome, we had such a nice time in your cottage. I can only recommend and look forward to our next stay at the Blackhouse!

Luxurious cottage by the sea.
My husband and I stayed in the Blackhouse Cottage for a weekend in October, and it gave us the genuine experience we dreamed on Skye.
The cottage is cozy and well equipped with all of the amenities you need: a fully functional kitchen, a spacious bathroom complete with heated floors, and the loft bedroom holding the best view of the sea.
We explored Skye each day and loved returning to this little home.

This was just the perfect getaway.
Skye is just an incredible location. This beautifully renovated Croft was the icing on the cake. Well furnished and appointed, we had everything we needed for a gorgeous few days. The views from the Croft were stunning. There are also lots of great places to visit close by which are off the beaten track. The hosts and their website were really helpful in planning our trip.
