Taste of the Sea on Skye

Taste of the Sea has recently been refurbished to a high standard to create a space for you to enjoy your holiday.
With 4 bedrooms, 2 doubles with ensuite, and 2 twins and a large shower room there is plenty of room for all 8 people.
The views from here stretch over Staffin Bay to the mainland and are second to none. Standing outside you can hear the sound of the waves crashing onto the pebble shore in Staffin Bay.
There is a wood burning stove in the living room all set up for keeping cosy for those winter evenings.
Plenty of room for entertaining and making memories.
Come, stay, enjoy!

Taste of the Sea is a beautiful property fir a large gtoup! Plenty of space, everything we needed. If I could offer any recommendations at all, it would just be to get some new mattresses. They definitely weren't the worst I slept on over my 3 week trip though, and they wouldn't stop me from booking again!

Unbelievable views on Skye
We stayed with extended family - my sister and her daughter, as well as my family with two 18 year old sons. The views from the house took our breath away. The kitchen was large and well appointed. IT was nice to have so many bedrooms and bathrooms. We loved the house and we loved Skye. We only wish we could have stayed for longer. Truly an unbelievable setting.

Highlights-quiet location, sea views, design and layout of the property. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. Laundry facilities. Sheep nearby. Comfy living room. Concerns-terribly uncomfortable beds, dirty handprints all over the walls, peeling paint in one of the rooms, kitchen table/stools/chairs were poor quality. Expected more for the price. Outdoor seating could be improved.

Wonderful place to stay
Beautiful location with amazing views of the bay, the cottage is like a tardis! Plenty of room for all 8 of us large but cosy sitting room and lovely kitchen diner to congregate in. The utility room is perfect for wet boots and coats and 3 bathrooms meant no one was waiting for the facilities. Beautifully decorated and the sheep and new lambs on the door step were a delightful bonus

Beautiful cozy home with breathtaking views
Daffodils were blooming all around the property while we were there at the end of March. Sheep grazing nearby with a perfect curved beach view. Close to Quiraing, An Corran, and Man of Storr. Kitchen was huge (picture doesn’t do it justice), bathrooms were perfectly clean. We had an issue with the washer and dryer and property manager resolved immediately so we could keep up with laundry. Tons of space with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The living room was a great place to hang out, run the wood stove, and read or play board games after a busy day of hikes. We were a family of 4 with a 3 and 8 year old. This is a truly liveable home…not just a short term rental. You could stay here for months very comfortably. Only (slight) drawback…it became a haul to get home when traveling to the west side of Skye. Roads are small and lots of potholes on Skye. Staying closer to Portree may be easier…but this was way more peaceful and beautiful. Thank you for such a great time on Skye. Best family adventure of our lives!

Great property!
The house was in a perfect location with great views overlooking Staffin Bay. The home was clean and updated and had nice spacious living areas, kitchen, and bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Nice and easy check-in with a key lock-box on the house and easy communication with the host for a couple questions we had about the area. Private parking in front of the house. Would definitely stay here again if we are ever back in Skye!

Breathtaking views in this beautiful & spacious property
We had a marvellous time at Taste of the Sea in Staffin Bay. The property is recently renovated snd stylishly decorated. The kitchen-dining is large & well equipped, a perfect gathering space for meals. There is a separate utility which is ideal as a dumping ground for shoes, bags & coats, so that was a bonus. The lounge with 3 large sofas & wood burner was comfortable & had the best views down to the bay and sunrise & sunset. With 3 full bathrooms, no one had to share or wait. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thank you for creating such a fab family friendly space.

Best View and Amazing Hosts!
This was an absolutely lovely place to stay! The property is set up on a hill overlooking a pasture of sheep, who are overlooking the ocean with a little island perfectly situated in the middle of the view. Cat was a fantastic communicator and was so much fun chatting with over the phone. The only thing we regret is that we didn’t have a chance to meet in person due to our busy schedule! I highly recommend staying here! Heated towel racks, all the amenities of home, beautiful scenery and the warm hospitality make this a perfect quiet getaway and a place I’d love to visit again should I come back to town.
