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. Fully refurbished and tastefully decorated throughout, this cottage is a welcoming haven as you return from an exciting day exploring this mystical island. With comfortable bedrooms and two sitting rooms, parents can enjoy some well-earned relaxation time in one sitting room while the children play in the other. The cottage is ideally situated to explore some of the fascinating aspects of this island; The Quiraing, an unworldly rock formation is close by and well worth a visit, while Staffin also boasts the only sandy beach in north Skye, making this a destination which has something for everyone. A great holiday cottage for the whole family.

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.
