We had a wonderful stay in Hill cottage. It’s positioned provide provides wonderful views across the Loch and onwards towards the wonderful skyline and hills of the Isle of Harris in the distance. Despite a sense of isolation, you are only a short drive from Portree and well position to explore central and northern Skye. The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped and spacious. Highly recommended.

Hill Cottage is a great place to stay on Skye. It is fully equipped, very comfortable and offers everything needed for a comfortable stay for up to 4 persons. It also offers a charging station for EVs. Additionally, it offers a fireplace and even prepared wooden clogs to use it. Everything is very clean. You feel like home from the first minute. The view to the sea is great, too. We highly recommend it.
