9 Torrin, Isle of Skye, Inverness-shire:

2 caravans, 2 bungalows and a flat are offered at very reasonable prices, on a croft. Pets are welcome at no extra charge (we took 6 dogs) and Paul and Becky are wonderful hosts. Well situated for touring the Isle of Skye and mainland. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

15 Croft Cottages, Poolewe, Ross-shire:

Beautiful cottages located right next to the River Ewe. An ideal base for exploring the north west of Scotland. Beaches ideal for dog walking can be found at Gairloch, Gruinyard and our favourite, Firemore. Alex is an excellent host and you will receive a very warm welcome.
