About this property
Broadford 3.1 miles. Situated in Lower Breakish on the picturesque Isle of Skye, just a short drive from the village of Broadford, is this stunning holiday home, Breakish Villa. Perfect for friends or families alike and boasting exceptional countryside views, Breakish Villa welcomes up to six guests and is ideal for a rural escape. Upon entering the property, you will be presented with a fully-equipped open-plan living space with a kitchen, where you can prepare delicious meals and a dining area where you can settle down for dinner with your loved ones. Unwind in the sitting area, where you can cosy up by the woodburning stove whilst you enjoy a film on the Smart TV. As the evening grows darker, escape to one of the three well-presented bedrooms, including a double bedroom complete with a plush bed and en-suite shower room where you can wash away the day. Discover your local surroundings by taking a short car journey to the Red Skye Restaurant, or venture slightly further to the Hebridean Inn if delicious pub grub is what you fancy. If you can tear yourself away from your local surroundings, take a day trip to the quaint port village of Mallaig, where you can visit the historic castle of Eilean na h-Acairseid, or spend an afternoon hiking at the Circular Walk Trailhead. The bustling town of Portree can also be found within reach by car, serving up scenic views that can be enjoyed from either the watchtower at The Lump, or during a stroll along the Portree Walkway, which runs parallel to the coast. Views extend out to the Isle of Pabay, Isle of Raasay, Scalpay Island and Crowlin islands. Further afield, Fort William is home to the West Highland Museum for those seeking a taste of history. Those feeling energetic, on the other hand, can spend an afternoon at the Cow Hill Trail, or even longer climbing the highest mountain in the UK, Ben Nevis. All of this and more awaits at Breakish Villa.
The Red Cuillins cast a shadow over Broadford, the second-largest village on Skye, which extends along Broadford Bay's southern shore. Views stretch over to the Isle of Pabay and, in the distance, to the mainland's Applecross mountains. The village offers shops, lodging, and vibrant craft markets to attract travellers. Elgol, a little settlement nearby, boasts "the finest vista in Britain"—a view of the Cuillin Ridge's terminus across Loch Scavaig. Take a memorable boat ride from Elgol Pier to Loch Coruisk, located in the Cullin Mountain Range. There are numerous attractions on the nearby Sleat Peninsula, also known as the "Garden of Skye," and there is a ferry that runs from Armadale to Mallaig.

! Even better than we expected, property was exactly as described, clean, had everything we needed and hosts were very quick at responding to any questions we had! Would definitely book this property again if we ever come back! Quick tip, stay longer than what you think, this isle is beautiful and has tons of things to explore, our time was way too short.
