The cottage provides the ideal place for relaxing and watching the ever changing vistas and is a super base for touring this mystical and historic island. The cottage is ideally located for visiting Neist Point (just 2-3 miles away) one of Skye's best attractions. Take a visit to Dunvegan Castle (the oldest inhabited castle in Scotland and seat of the Clan MacLeod) and a boat trip to see the seals basking on the rocks in Loch Dunvegan, followed by a visit to the Coral Beach at Claigan, Dunvegan. Other boat trips include a sea trip from Portree to see the varied sea and bird life including the sea eagles, glass-bottomed boat trips and a ferry trip from Uig to the Outer Isles of Lewis, Harris and Uist. No visit to the Isle of Skye is complete without a trip on the Bella Jane from Elgol to Scotland's most isolated Loch Coruisk.
The island boasts some wonderful restaurants, the world famous 'Three Chimneys' just a short drive from the cottage.

Guests loved the peaceful and beautiful location, clean and modern house with comfortable furnishings and stunning views. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay away from the city.
10.0 / 10.0
You will love this place if you want to get away from it all. The house is located on a very quiet street and has a great view. But note that if you want to visit other places on the island, most of those are at least one hour away.

Our stay at the cottage was a relaxing and restful stay. The view is beautiful and a great place to stay to get out of the city. We enjoyed then peacefulness of the town and would recommend the cottage to anyone who plans to visit Isle of Skye.

The house was very clean and modern. The furnishings were new and very comfortable. The bed was comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and modern. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed.
The best thing was the view, it was awesome.
I highly recommend the Pooltiel house.

Summer Holiday 2020
Lovely cottage in beautiful location. If you’ve never been to Skye then you should!
A little more storage space would have been appreciated (both in rooms and in kitchen), but we were two families of 4 wanting our own space.
Also still struggled with WiFi, but 8 of us were trying to use it at the same time.

Quiet place!!!
This place is absolutely relaxing, lovely view, fantastic equipment. 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms was a nice comfort for everyone as we were two families with kids. Nice place for walks and fishing! Wish we could stay longer.

The property is located in a quiet spot which is what we were looking for ideal for our party
This is ideally located for a quite holiday we had a disabled lady in the party of eight who was able to move about the ground floor with ease in her wheelchair The views were stunning and the wildlife (cows and sheep) were bemusing. One of our party managed to photograph a nice deer near the pier, The only thing that could be added is an outside table and chairs, overall we all really enjoyed our stay

only issue was that the dryer didnt work well

Amazing location!!
The location of this home is amazing! The views across the loch of the waterfalls are beautiful. It was so great to wake up every morning and have a cup of coffee with views of the waterfalls and sheep just walking down the street. The location is beautiful and peaceful. It was easy to travel around Skye from here and visit all the sites. We enjoyed staying at home on a rainy night in front of the fire. It was very spacious for our group of 6. We had a wonderful time and would love to go back.

Cozy, inspiring, and just ... perfect.
Pooltiel View really was a magical place to spend a long weekend - especially a wet and stormy one! The views of waterfalls blowing up the cliffs across the bay were incredible. Had great hikes to Neist Point lighthouse and around the local roads. Everything you could possibly need (plus some!) in the house to cook, stay entertained, and have great conversation around the dinner table or lounge. Yes, the wifi is spotty at best - but we were all happy to be unplugged and disconnected from the world. Thank you for such a well thought out place Peter and Wendy!

Glendale is beautiful!
We had a nice time at the Cottage. Weather was mostly good and the house is a good location for visiting the Isle of Skye!
The place was clean upon arrival and easy enough to find and get in. Plenty of space for 5 adults.
Our main issue was the lack of wifi. Even though it is no longer listed as available at the Cottage, it was listed as an amenity when we booked it. This caused quite a few issues for us as we were coming from out of country and our phones were having issues. Also the Glendale hall, which was stated to have wifi, apparently flooded 3 weeks before our arrival and therefore was closed leaving us without any way to get maps or directions, anyway to contact our hosts, or most importantly contact/answer questions from clients (we are self employed). We happened across the wonderful Cafe Lephin which has good wifi and the owners are lovely! They were a huge help to us and the food was delicious!
We feel the hosts lack of communication about the wifi and making maps of the area available was disappointing but overall we had a great time in Skye as it is a beautiful area.
The Fairy Pools, Portree, and Neist Point are all places we would highly recommend in the area!

Beautiful surroundings and a very nice house.
The setting is absolutely stunning. The view out the front windows are breathtaking. It was a great place to sit and watch the weather rolling in as we had our morning coffee.
The house is nice and clean. The beds were fine and linens were OK too. Not luxury but fine.
The kitchen was fine as well.
The only complaint is that the wifi doesn't work at all. The description says it works intermittently but it never worked once.
Otherwise a great place. I loved it.

It was a family holiday and we all enjoyed the delights of walking and photographing Skye
Pooltiel View offered very comfortable and spacious accommodation and all eight of us were very pleased. It was clean and very well laid out. The views were spectacular and the location was peaceful and all we were looking for. The fact that there was little wifi was actually a benefit and added to the peace. We aged from 6 to 67 and all ages enjoyed the holiday immensely.

Wonderful home, great for our group of 8, great beds and showers, BEAUTIFUL VIEW!!
We loved our 4 days at your home! Everything worked great except the WIFI. We loved cooking meals together, planning day trips to Dunvegan, old man of Storr, Quaraing, Portree, and the Neist point lighthouse right down the road! The beauty of your isle of skye is unparalleled! What a perfect view to wake up to each day! Thank you!

Immaculate holiday home in idyllic location
This holiday home is more than spacious and fully equipped with the most comfortable beds ever and endless hot water ! Our family of 5 had all the room we needed in the 4 bedrooms and I'm sure larger groups would be as happy. The views are spectacular (I saw a golden eagle from the back bedroom window !) Be warned the location is remote but the (hour long ??) drive from the bridge or ferry is totally worth it - we would return to this part of Skye without hesitation. Visits to Neist point and Dunvegan castle and Coral beach are easy drives. The Glendale village shop is the best tiny shop ever . Totally recommend this holiday home.

Fantastic property, great holiday.
A beautiful property, exceptionally well maintained within a wonderful setting. We have stayed in various properties over the years but must say that this was the best equipped by far.
The location is stunning, overlooking the loch with waterfalls in the distance. The sheep entertained us every morning with their ritualistic procession along the road in front of the property.
We were a family of four adults and the accommodation more than met our needs. A large cottage or croft, with a beautiful kitchen which as I mentioned was well equipped with all modern conveniences. A lovely living room with a log fire which only took minutes to light, which was a welcome sight after being out walking all day. Not that lightning the fire was essential as the house was centrally heated and well insulated. The beds were very comfortable and I haven't slept so well for a long time.
The property provided the ideal base for us to explore the island. We visited out of season and therefore many of the local attractions were closed, but that didn't stop us as were out exploring every day and know that we had much more of the island to see. A good excuse for a return trip, something we definitely hope to do in the future. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Wonderful house in a great location
We stayed at Pooltiel View 8th to 22nd October 2016.
Directions to house were simple and it was easy to find.
First impressions were good, but the house is fabulous and the views are great, especially the sheep and cows outside the front door.
The house is lovely and comfortable and the photos don't do it justice. It is very well equipped and can easily accommodate 8 people but still has loads of space.
The location is good and it's a nice walk either to the village of Glendale or to the lighthouse at Neist Point.
Visited Dunvegan Castle, Talisker Distillery and Portree and would recommend them all. Skye is absolutely stunning and we were really lucky with the weather, only had rain 2 days out of the 14.
The addition of the internet will be a big plus, I personally didn't miss it, but hubby and daughter did.
We would definitely return to this house and hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.

Urlaub auf Skye
Das war ein sehr schöner Urlaub auf Skye. Das Haus war wunderschön mit Blick auf eine atemberaubende Landschaft.

Great views, nice house, but could be "wow"
The house is large and in a great location. It was clean and well equipped. There were a few maintenance issues, e.g. Light bulbs not working, loose toilet seats, some toilet seats missing their lids, door locks stiff and needing to be oiled. Also the sofas have seen better days. These are relatively minor issues but should really be attended to. For the price it would be good to have broadband, although the reception at Glendale hall was fine - but you do have to sit in the car park as the hall is locked when not in use.

Beautifully located cottage
This is a brilliantly well kept holiday cottage overlooking the Loch Pooltiel that we had the pleasure of staying in. The surrounding area is wonderful and particularly when it starts to snow. The main lounge is lovely with the log burner and has a large window (although not in the pictures) to gaze out of towards the Loch.
We visited Neist point light house which was only a 10 minute drive and also ventured through the Cuillin Valley. With such friendly service, we highly recommend this cottage and hope to be back soon!
