The 4* Visit Scotland graded cottage is finished to the highest of standards to ensure a comfortable stay and features underfloor heating, oak finishings and a wood stove which is perfect for sitting beside for a "warm" following a days activities and exploring. The choice of places to visit is many and varied with Skeabost Bridge nearby as is Portree, Fairy Glen and Fairy Pools, Quiraing, the Old Man of Storr, The Cullins, Talisker Distillery, the wonderful Coral Beach, and Dunvegan Castle. The excellent and locally owned Skeabost Hotel is 2 miles away. Within the village of Skeabost Bridge you will find the River Snizort (the best salmon fishing river on Skye). In addition to this, besides the old bridge, there is St. Columb's Isle where there is an ancient burial ground, the old parish church is believed to be late mediaeval whilst the older and more intact Chapel of St. Columba dates to the 11th century. Tradition claims that 28 Nicolson chiefs were buried in this mortuary chapel.

Perfect!

My husband and I stayed here for three nights. Everything was absolutely perfect! The location is really nice and quiet and the property is pristine. The views are amazing. I cooked two of our three nights. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The last night we were there it was rainy and cold. The log burner was a welcome addition. Would absolutely recommend.

Excellent Location for Skye Vacation

We spent a few days on Skye and this property was perfect for us. It is a modest property with stunning views. Even though it's in an area with other homes, it doesn't have any homes close and the views are uninterrupted. The hosts were very communicative and I felt that if we had any trouble they would have been right there to help us. However, we didn't encounter any problems and enjoyed out stay very much! The Location was convenient to a lot of the north of the Isle. We could reach everything we had planned on with ease.I would recommend this property!

Perfect wee cottage

Hill Cottage was exactly what we were hoping for on Skye. It is well situated for our excursions around the Trotternish peninsula. We wanted to stay longer just to appreciate the views. If we get the chance to come back to Skye, we will definitely stay here again.

Nice Stay with helpful Owners

We enjoyed our stay in late May 2022 in this clean and tidy private cottage, which has nice views across the lochs. Kitchen and property in general had all that we needed. The weather did not cooperate much during our holiday, but the cottage kept us warm and dry. Owners were helpful with restaurant suggestions and happy to give other advice.

Idyllic Stay on Skye

The views from the fabulous country cottage are simply stunning. The cottage is a very well-appointed house that has everything one could want. The house is situated to take advantage of views from every room. The kitchen is modern and easy to use, and radiant heating in the rooms keeps the cottage snug. Being only a ten-minute drive to Portree makes this a convenient location and yet provides the peace and quiet of the countryside. You will not be disappointed if you rent this charming house.
