With generously-proportioned rooms, this Skye cottage has three bright bedrooms, two at ground floor level. The contemporary fitted kitchen is open through to the fabulous dining room, with its picture window providing lovely views across to the Isle of Raasay and surrounding mountains. The sitting room is situated on the first floor to ensure the best possible outlook, and visitors will not be disappointed - there is even a telescope provided, ideal for wildlife enthusiasts! Outside this Skye cottage there is a garden with seating area for guests to enjoy the views and tranquil atmosphere, and just a short stroll along the road will take you to the Sconser Lodge Hotel, with its small intimate bar serving real Skye ale. Journey north to the island's capital Portree, and from there take a drive around the northern tip of the island with its rugged coastline and pretty white cottages or venture south to the 'Garden of Skye', with its lush flowers and dense forests.

The charming town of Portree, set around its natural harbour on the ruggedly beautiful Isle of Skye, boasts a wide range of shops, hotels and restaurants amongst its winding streets. This quiet, tranquil town offers a large variety of cultural attractions too. The Aros Centre, with its programme of concerts, theatre and cinema is well worth visiting and sports enthusiasts will be well catered for by the wealth of sea kayaking, rock-climbing and a good choice of well-marked walks across the island.

It has everything you need for your stay. The owner is really nice and she met us on arrival. We have stayed here before and will definitely return in the future.
Alan
It is centrally located to enable access to all the best places on Skye. The only minor gripe for us was the DVD player had been removed. I know this is the future but a shame for our planning. Otherwise definitely recommended
Wayne
The location proved to be ideal and not to far from any of the places we wanted see. This not a cottage but a semi detached house equipped with everything we could want in a holiday home. It was also very quiet which we also appreciated. If we come back to the Isle of Skye we would definitely stay there again.
