We stayed at the Gate Lodge for a few days - it couldn't have been nicer. An ideal spot for touring the gorgeous Isle of Skye, with a lovely cosy cottage to return to.
A big THANK YOU to Linda & Marcus for being such great hosts

The perfect antidote to modern life. We spent an idyllic holiday at Lyndaleon Skye. Lazy lunches of fishing-boat fresh langoustine and crab before strolling on the white sands of Shell Beach. Exploring ancient burial mounds and archeological sites before discovering the ruined cathedral of the Isles hidden on a river-island at Skeabost.
Another day cruising a sea loch watching seals, sea-birds and dolphins – a driftwood fired sausage lunch on a remote rocky beach. And finally, most spectacularly, an evening warmed by a roaring log fire and a single malt, idly watching a blood red sun melt into the gunmetal seas off The Hebrides.
Lyndale’s idyllic and central location on Skye gave us easy access to the whole island and at a secluded hideaway where we could simply beachcomb or just watch the sunset..

We recently stayed at the Gate Lodge which is located at the head of the drive to Lyndale House.
This is a beautiful "pepper pot" style 2 bedroom cottage which is light and airy but also snug and warm at night.
The kitchen is well equipped and the Rayburn stove is easy to use, the wood burner gave a lovely warm glow at night.
We found Linda and Marcus most helpful with useful tips of places to visit on Skye.
Lyndale House itself looks over the loch and has beautiful sunsets.
We found the location really good for exploring Skye with its wonderful scenery.
Would recommend visits out to Glen Brittle, The Cuillins and the Trotternish peninsula.
We had a couple of lovely walks out to the ligthouse at Neist Point and also a short walk near Portreee. We would recommend a visit to Loch Bay too.
Definitely worth the visit it was one of our most memorable holidays with some good food to be found at the various restaurants dotted round the island.
We will visit again

We booked to stay on Skye with Lyndale House, staying at the gate house for a week.
We found Marcus and Linda most helpful and welcoming and the cottage was fantastic.
There was nothing better than spending the day out to return to the cottage's wood burner and a wee dram.
The cottage was ideally placed for visits to all parts of skye and the mainland.

I'm not sure i could recommend the cottages highly enough, they were well decorated, well appointed and cosy. Just what we wanted.

Thanks again Marcus and Linda.
