If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic setting, take a drive into Portree, the island’s capital, where you can stock up on all of your self-catering essentials at local stores or enjoy a well-earned break from the kitchen with a delicious meal at Merchant Bar, Caberfeidh Bar and Restaurant or Antlers Bar and Grill. Be sure to make the most of the coast by hiking along Braes Beach or head to Talisker Bay Beach to marvel at its impressive waterfall or appreciate the beauty and swells of the Atlantic. Hidden gems are woven throughout the island, discover the Fairy Pools surrounded by blue and green waterfalls, reach the impressive summits of Bla Bheinn or Sgurr Alasdair or explore The Lump a wonderful headland with watch tower. Guests can also take ferries across the charming islands surrounding Skye or to the mainland home to endless attractions. All this and more awaits at Gramarye Cottage.

Portree, a picturesque town on the beautiful and peaceful Island of Skye, is clustered around the harbour. There is an abundance of opportunities to engage with culture; the Aros Centre's schedule of performances in music, theatre, and film makes it particularly appealing. There are plenty of opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts, such as sea kayaking, rock climbing, and a variety of well-marked hikes. In particular, the rock formations are breathtaking; Trotternish Ridge is 31 kilometres of uninterrupted cliffs boasting numerous beautiful rock shapes and pinnacles. There are many wonderful attractions on this enchanted island, but two that stand out are Dunvegan Castle and the Talisker Distillery Visitor Centre.
