From the owner

An original 1830's crofter's cottage that has been completely renovated to provide a calm and peaceful retreat in the surrounding rugged landscape of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Situated beside Camustianavaig Bay on the Isle of Skye, the house enjoys a rural location, yet is only five miles from Portree. The space is decorated in a soft minimal style and offers a tranquil Highland hideaway for up to two people.

The LIVING ROOM has a wood burning stove, small sofa, table and chairs. There is a bluetooth portable speaker and a small collection of maps and books on the local area, recipe and design books. Please note there is no TV, but the broadband is fast.

The BEDROOM has a king size bed and cotton bedding. There are spare pillows, bedding and a hairdryer. We supply bath and hand towels. There is a shower in the bathroom, but no bath.

The KITCHEN is well-equipped with a dishwasher, electric oven, hob, fridge freezer, kettle, toaster and food blender.

Other things to note:

There is WIFI in the house that has recently been upgraded. Mobile reception is limited, but you can usually get a signal in the kitchen.

We don’t supply WOOD for the wood burning stove, but you can pick some up from the Co-op or garage in either Broadford or Portree.

The five mile road to Camustianavaig is a single track (tarmac) road.

    Fabulous, restful, small cottage
    Jun 2023

    Very comfortable, clean and perfectly secluded for these 2 weary travelers. The cottage is well situated for exploring more of Isle of Skye. Sarah was very communicative and helpful.
