Hello, we are Neil & Emma-Jane, and live in the beautiful Isle of Skye with our 4 kids. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 6 hens.
We live in a small crofting township near the sea, and 3 miles from our local village (there is no public transport in our area, so you will need you a vehicle). The house is a 3 bedroom renovated croft house, with large garden.
Cuilean, is a 12year old labrador x. She has arthritis . Her aim in life is to be loved and to please. Because of her arthritis, she cannot go for long walks, but a short walk down our road or down to the river below our home for her to have a swim will be needed each day.
Tess, is a4 year old white border collie, who is a bundle of fun and loves to be loved. She is full of energy and enjoys a good long walk, she's a typical young dog who aims to please but needs to be reminded to behave from time to time.
Both dogs sleep in the house at night, but the young dog has a kennel if you are out during the day.
We have two cats, Shadow & Spookley, they pretty much sleep all day, demand their meal, then head out all night.
And then there is the hens, who will need there food & water topped up, eggs collected and be locked in at night.

Autres infos...
The Isle of Skye has many beautiful sights to visit, especially if you enjoy the outdoors. There is no public transport in our area. We have wi-fi, but this can sometime be poor during bad weather. The local community hall is about a 10minute drive away, there is usually badminton & yoga classes on weekly as well. And sometimes a food &music night. Lots of great places to swim and walk.
The biggest village of Portree, has a swimming pool, gym.

We can't thank Colin & Elise enough for taking care of our animals & home while we were away on our travels! Our minds were completely at ease knowing they were there.
The dogs were very well looked after & very well walked. Our family members enjoyed meeting them & chatting with them.
The house was well cared for too and on our return we came… read more home to a clean house and a home cooked dinner, which after travelling for 48hrs with children it was fantastic to come home to!
If we ever think of travelling again, I'll be messaging Colin & Elise first, our parents said the same.
They really are a lovely, dependable couple, who we would warmly welcome again for a visit.

We stayed in Emma-Jane and Neil's house for 5 weeks while they went on a family holiday to Australia. We had a really wonderful experience and grew very fond of Tess and Cuilean. We were lucky to have beautiful weather for an October on Skye and went on plenty of walks and enjoyed seeing the Island out of tourist season. Emma-Jane gave us a lot of… read more helpful information before they left and we knew that her and Neil's parents were nearby if any problems were to arise. Emma-Jane and Neil were very relaxed and quickly made us feel comfortable in their home and looking after their animals so we had a very stress free month. Having the chance to experience life on a croft was dreamy and both dogs were extremely good tempered and easy to look after. We met some lovely people and Emma-Jane and Neil's family were very accommodating, inviting us over for dinner and providing us with plenty of Venison and local recommendations. We really miss the dogs and hope to be back to visit one day!
