About this property
This charming two-storey cottage is perfect for families and couples seeking a peaceful holiday on the breathtaking Isle of Skye. The property is ideally positioned to discover the island's dramatic landscapes and historic attractions. Skye’s capital, Portree, is just 6.5 miles away and offers shops, eateries, and a swimming pool at the Fingal Centre. Head to the ferry port at Uig, only 8 miles away, and take a trip to discover the Outer Hebrides or enjoy a wildlife boat excursion to spot puffins, seals, and sea eagles. The property is placed on the Trotternish Peninsula, home to some of Skye’s most famous landmarks. Walkers can hike up The Old Man of Storr just 15 miles away – a towering rock pinnacle with magnificent views. Alternatively, spend a day at Staffin Beach discovering dinosaur footprints, or explore Dunvegan Castle and Gardens, both within 21 miles.
As you approach this scenic cottage, take a moment to admire the surrounding rural landscapes that set the tone for a magical Skye getaway. Stepping in through the side door, you’ll be greeted by a well-appointed kitchen, with space to kick off muddy walking boots and hang coats. After days of adventure, you’ll find all you need in this well-appointed space to cook up Scottish feasts – including far-reaching views over the hills. Enjoy each meal in the separate dining room, offering a light and airy space perfect for post-dinner boardgames around the circular table. With full stomachs, amble deeper into the home to find the restful lounge, where calm and warming hues invite you to sink into the soft seating and unwind. A TV stands ready for easy entertainment, or you can grab a book from the shelf in the dining room. Completing the ground floor is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. At the end of each day away, follow the cottage stairs to the first floor and choose from three attractive bedrooms: a master double, a friendly twin room, and a cosy single, offering plenty of flexibility for families and groups.
Outside, a wraparound garden is laid to lawn and offers the best spot to admire the panoramic countryside views. Enjoy scenic morning coffees and evening tipples, plus benefit from private driveway parking for two cars.
