Monthly Rentals in Raasay

Absolutely lovely and a perfect place to stay in Skye. Aonghas and Rachel were responsive hosts and very flexible, and gave great instructions to find the cottage. It's a shame we never bumped into them to say hi, but I'm sure they would've been there if we had any issues, which we didn't. The cottage itself is clean and modern, with a beautiful living room with a wide open window looking out over the sound of Raasay (side note: recommend sitting on the window ledge at night to check out the stars!), TV, comfy seating, and modern kitchen facilities. Just note there is no microwave (this is made clear in the listing) so you can heat up food in the oven/hob. Bathroom is spotless and shower is warm and high pressure (needed!). Bedroom also pristine. The garden is lovely and features lots of wildlife - and a robot lawnmower which is always fun to watch on its rounds! Portree is a short drive away, and the Braes is a peaceful environment to relax in. Overall a great base to explore Skye.

As regular Raasay visitors we know the area well but we hadn't stayed here before. The big wow for this cottage is the view from the dining room, which is absolutely amazing. We were the first people to stay after some major renovations (replacing tiny bedroom with a bathroom upstairs as well as retaining a shower room downstairs) and some snagging and decoration had yet to be fully completed. Having said that it absolutely didn't matter to us, and both Olly locally and the owner, Toby, were friendly and attentive and wanted to ensure everything was Ok for us. We also understand that these snags were to be resolved as soon as we left. Visitors should be aware that the steep drive is a little challenging, although the lower half has been asphalted. However, the fantastic location easily makes up for this, with both Dun Caan and Inver walkable from the front door. We also saw dolphins, otters, seals and eagles from this amazing island, and would DEFINITELY return here 🙂

Lovely place to stay, Carolyn was there to greet me on arrival. The view from the shared back porch was beautiful! Could see a lot of stars too. Good little continental breakfast provided. Although I could easily hear them when they were in the next room and worried I made too much noise for them, I think it worked out fine and we didn't end up being obtrusive once it was bedtime!

If you are looking for a relaxing location you will not find another place that will beat this for quality, privacy and view. Highly recommended
