Portree 12 miles. An immaculately-presented semi-detached cottage occupying a stunning hillside location on the magical Isle of Skye.

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!

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. There is something for everyone here from mountain climbing to bird watching. Your Skye cottage is perfectly placed for easy access to the whole island and you will simply love it!

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.

(a phone to the owners was all it took--they were out shopping so we agreed to meet and they led us there) The place was wonderful. We had been traveling for 2 weeks by then and it was the PERFECT break we needed--dishwasher, enough room to stretch out, washer AND DRYER! I'm embarrassed to admit these things are so important, but in this context, I must say how much they were appreciated. Just a beautiful place hosted by wonderful and kind people...highly recommended!

The property Washington beyond our expectative.

Our party of 4 adults stayed for a week in June. The house has an impressive commanding view over Loch Sligachan and also veiws over to the isle of Raasay. It's ideally located for exploring all the usual tourist spots on Skye, which we duly did. And only about half hour drive from the Cuillin mountains. Unfortunately for us, low cloud cover persisted the whole week that we were there, allowing us only to climb one munro. The house is one of the best holiday homes we have stayed in. Under floor heating keeps it warm and comfortable. Lovely big comfortable beds. Both showers easy to use and hot. Nice big 'proper' TV. Large well equipped kitchen with a fabulous electric multi hob cooker. Massive big dinning table. Very spacious house, everything about it was ideal. We would love to return here hopefully next year.
