Dit huis heeft werkelijk alles om van een verblijf op Skye een succes te maken. Echt alles is voorzien. De woning is rustig gelegen, mooi uitzicht (als het weer meezit), centraal gelegen om makkelijk heel wat bezienswaardigheden vlot te bereiken.

We loved our stay at Hill Cottage. As a family of 4, this cottage was a perfect home base to relax in out of the wind and rain after long days of exploring. It is well maintained and cozy.

We had a wonderful stay in Hill cottage. It’s positioned provide provides wonderful views across the Loch and onwards towards the wonderful skyline and hills of the Isle of Harris in the distance. Despite a sense of isolation, you are only a short drive from Portree and well position to explore central and northern Skye. The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped and spacious. Highly recommended.
