I booked this for our anniversary but was very disappointed with the service. Made a special break unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. Would not recommend

We have visited Skye for many years, staying in all the best hotels, but we never expected to find such a modern well appointed place to stay. "Fada" is a two person apartment. The highlight was the bathroom complete with a large bath and a wet room shower area. The rest of the apartment is open-plan. The bed has soft bedding virtually guaranteeing a good nights sleep. The kitchen with electric cooker and microwave and breakfast bar is more than adequate for cooking full meals although Portree with its choice of eateries is only a 10 minute drive away. If I was being picky I would have liked a dishwasher. The sitting area is spacious and as the apartment is on the first floor there is no need to draw the curtains and miss the excellent view over the loch and (on a clear night) see the starry sky as one never sees it in a town.

The off road parking is good and the road itself was only lightly trafficed during our stay. Others have commented on the cost but I felt it was good value. We had more space than if we had stayed in a suite in a hotel and the location was both remote and convenient.

On our arrival the apartment was spotlessly clean. There is a phone with a direct link to the owners which proved really useful when I couldn't figure out how to lock the door (you have to raise the handle whilst turning the key).

The wi-fi worked well although there was no mobile phone signal (on O2).

In summary if you want a luxury self catering apartment on Skye in a wonderful location look no further.

Booked direct a few weeks before stay and didn't get the price of the last reviewer. If we had then I would have said good value. Didn't even get the complimentary bottle of wine although the fact that we arrived early as the service was just being completed may explain the wine oversight.

The location is super. The first floor apartment (Fada) overlooks the loch and the road below wasn't an issue. The decked garden was a nice touch but the midges and the weather meant we weren't able to take advantage of it. The apartment itself was well laid out and appointed. The kitchen was well enough equipped for a short stay. I would suggest that the decor and blinds would need freshened up for the next season to live up to the 'luxury' description, particulary in the bathroom. One irritant was that the notice said the hot water is on constant with only a boost required for extra amounts, it wasn't switched on at all and we returned from our first outing to cold showers! The WiFi, Ipod, tv are very welcome but are now becoming the norm in four star self catering. Which brings me to my comment on value. Having stayed in a range of Highland and Island accommodation I felt I was paying a high summer price. I'd certainly recommend these apartments to others if the price matched the market and the season and would go back.

The location is fabulous if you want a quiet break and a good base for the outdoors. The Old Man of Storr is just a walk away and the loch view is stunning. Skye is a beautiful island and this apartment feels very remote but Portree is only a short drive away.

By the time we decided that the weather was going to let us spend a weekend on Skye, accommodation was hard to come by: luckily we managed to book the Fada apartment at Storr Lochs for the first night of our stay. This is essentially a studio apartment - open plan, they term it - with the bedroom, sitting area and kitchen all-in-one, so not for you if you like your walls. The quality of the decor and furnishings is very good and, unlike so many so-called self-catering places where you'd struggle to make a slice of toast, the kitchen here is actually well-equipped for people who might want to do some cooking. Where Fada really excels, though is in the bathroom and the outisde. The hammock in the secluded, decked garden easily accommodates two, as does the deep, free-standing bath inside, and the wet-area power-shower is a real tonic after a long day's walking. The part-stocking of the kitchen, too, was far better than many such welcome packs, including a good bottle of wine.
One or two bits of trim had taken a knock here and there, and we felt that the prices being quoted on some late booking sites - between £120 and £140 - were a little excessive for the accommodation and the time of year, but we were happy with the £100 we paid by booking direct with the helpful and pleasant Katie and Nigel.
Free wifi and a complete lack of mobile signal were the perfect combination.
Throw in a secluded, loch-side location only ten minutes from Portree, and this is definitely one we'd book again.
