About this property
This attractive cottage sits in its own grounds in the crofting village of Staffin, 17 miles north of Portree on the Isle of Skye. Fully refurbished and tastefully decorated throughout, this cottage is a welcoming haven as you return from an exciting day exploring this mystical island. With comfortable bedrooms and two sitting rooms, parents can enjoy some well-earned relaxation time in one sitting room while the children play in the other. The cottage is ideally situated to explore some of the fascinating aspects of this island; The Quiraing, an unworldly rock formation is close by and well worth a visit, while Staffin also boasts the only sandy beach in north Skye, making this a destination which has something for everyone. A great holiday cottage for the whole family.

Not an enclosed garden for the dogs but set apart from the road in a green hollow (lag-uaine).

House and garden very peaceful as the camp site next door was closed. Shower pressure was rather reduced in downstairs ensuite. Lots of hot water available. Great large garden for dog, might not be entirely secure for a small dog but was secure for ours. Pretty stream flowing through garden. Thoughtful touches to make us welcome e.g. dog treats bag, box of chocolates and bottle of wine, miniature bottles of shampoo and shower gel. Well equipped kitchen. When a problem was reported with the fan heater in the living room and central heating, it was dealt with straight away, The owner Norma and camp site manager Aurora were really polite, helpful and friendly. They are very good communicators. Happy memories of stay.

Skye does scenery in spades, and right on your doorstep, easy to see Old Man of Storr, and the Quiraing and a great wool shop Shalasdair all gems. Very friendly and helpful locals.
