About this property
This attractive cottage sits in its own grounds in the crofting village of Staffin, 17 miles north of Portree on the Isle of Skye.

We appreciated the kind welcome gifts for us and our dog. However there was nothing in the description about the campsite right next to the cottage. Unfortunately this is the immediate view and there were people camping on the lawn just outside the cottage. Although the campsite was quiet, it encroached on our holiday because it wasn't the private surroundings we expected.
