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. For those looking to participate in the national sport of Scotland, then the Isle of Skye Golf Club is within easy reach.

The property is clean and well equipped with wonderful views over towards the Isle of Harris in the distance. We liked the somewhat out of the way location and it made exploring north and central Skye straightforward. The hosts were friendly and very proactive in advising and welcoming us. We’d highly recommend this property.
Beautiful setting, wonderful cottage. Very clean and well appointed. The host was very communicative and helpful. Close to many attractions and Portree.
The property is 1st class everything you could hope for to get away.
Isle of Skye scenery is magnificent, wether it be mountains lochs or seas your looking this place is highly recommended.
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.
Absolutely amazing property. Generously stocked with ample amenities. Close to Portree. Super clean and sooo comfortable. We had great weather thrown in with the property’s amazing views.
This house is well taken care of and has an amazing view over the bay. We went through some incredibly windy nights and the house was quiet and toasty. Would love to spend more time in this area of Skye.
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.
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. A short drive to Portree and good access to everything from the Fairy Pools, Talisker, Dunvegan, Old Man of Storr, and Fairy Glen.
This cottage is amazing and has a spectacular view. The location provides a good amount of privacy and peace to just relax and is a good base for exploring the rest of the island.
This was the best accommodations of our 12 day trip. Highly recommend. Well equipped. Longer curtain on hall bath or door may help with long term maintenance. Fan over hob was loud. Loved this place.
The house is charming, modern, clean and very well supplied. The view is breathtaking. The location is ideal—close enough to Portree to be convenient, but well away from the bustle. We loved our time there and highly recommend Hill Cottage.
Everything is perfect: the privacy, the location, the decoration of the house, the beds, the bathrooms, the view, the kitchen, the tv room.
We didn't want to leave this fantastic place and we certainly will come back !!!!
Such a charming home with views of the loch from the bedrooms and living room. The owner was helpful and friendly. Spacious kitchen with everything one needs to make a meal. Lots of closet space and laundry area was perfect for our needs. Would recommend to anyone and stay there again if had the chance.
The cottage is wonderful. Beautiful views from every window. Nice kitchen that is well stocked to prepare meals (grocery store is about 15 minutes away in Portree).
Bedrooms were very comfortable and nicely appointed.
Would definitely recommend to others!
A newer property with excellent construction and a beautiful location our family enjoyed the Hill Cottage enormously. The pictures are accurate and everything was as expected and in some cases even better. A strong recommend for a group of four or less for a holiday on The Isle of Skye!
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.
A wonderful cottage in the perfect setting on the Isle of Skye. Quiet, romantic, charming - a wood stove to take the chill off. A home with amazing attention to details. Highly recommend to everyone! Magical and memorable!!
This cottage is a magical place with ever-changing views of the lake. The wood floors and large rooms are beautiful. The kitchen is quite large and well-equipped. The place is immaculately cleaned. I appreciate it having a washing machine, too. You won’t want to leave!
