Property code: OC-CA326

Styled on the traditional Scottish long house and boasting eco-friendly credentials, this exquisite property fits seamlessly into the landscape of its dramatic glen setting, providing up to nine guests and two canine companions access to some of the most beautiful scenery on the Isle of Skye – surrounded by rolling countryside with miles of adventures to sniff out, your dogs will think they are in doggy heaven.

Inside, the property is both light and spacious as well as warm and cosy. At its heart is a full-height, vaulted, open-plan living space creating a social hub with a glorious wood burner and extensive views of the surrounding glen. These views can also be enjoyed from the slate patio beyond, which offers a private and secluded outdoor living and dining space that is ideal when the weather is warmer. The property's four bedrooms are situated at either end of the house on both levels, with a double room and a twin room on the ground floor and a king-sized room and a family room (with one double and one single bed) on the first floor. Between the two upper rooms – and above the main living space – a minstrel gallery provides an informal seating area that is sure to appeal to younger guests looking for their own space.

Located to the north of the island, 1 mile from the amenities of Uig, this property sits within half a mile of the exceptionally picturesque Fairy Glen, beyond which lies the equally striking Trotternish Ridge. You are also within reach of the island's other iconic locations: Quiraing and the Old Man of Storr are both within 25 miles of your door, while Neist Point and the Cuillin range are within 40 miles. Meanwhile, the island's capital, Portree, lies 16 miles south-east, where you and your pack can sniff out quirky shops, friendly pubs and a variety of restaurants, and watch the local fishing boats unload.

  • 4 bedrooms - 1 king-size, 1 double, 1 twin and 1 family room with 1 double and 1 single bed.
  • 3 bathrooms - 2 en-suite shower rooms, 1 bathroom and 1 separate WC
  • Electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, washing machine, dryer
  • Woodburner – starter pack of logs supplied
  • Smart TV, 3D Blu-ray, CD, Radio
  • Wi-Fi included
  • Private garden with patio and garden furniture
  • Ample off-road parking
  • BBQ
  • Shop and hotel within 1 mile
  • Arrival: 16:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00
  • 2 dogs allowed. Additional charges may apply

Beautifully situated property, with lots of natural light and fabulous views. Kitchen is well equipped. Downstairs bedrooms are perfect for guests with reduced mobility Shop/restaurants are a fair walk, a car journey for most people. Fairy Glen is only a few minutes walk and is fabulous, regardless of weather!

Great location near the fairy glen, scenery is stunning everywhere you looked, cottage was very roomy for 8 and dogs. Kitchen was well equipped with a large table to eat round. I was in a wheelchair and the inside was perfect. However there was a slight lip at the door for 50 quid you could provide a ramp.

Lovely house but fixtures & fittings of a poor standard and the floors are creaky. There was no outside furniture as this was damaged in the recent storm. With a bit more care and attention this would be a fabulous house.

This home is outstanding, really well equipped throughout in a beautiful setting. Easy to access all sights and local landmarks. The local shop at the bottom of the hill is also very well stocked so id recommend using that otherwise its a trip to Portree. The Uig hotel for food was also fantastic. We had a great holiday.
