This cottage was incredible!
With the Outer Hebrides Islands visible in the distance, it is located on a hillside near the village of Hallin in Waternish and overlooks a beautiful bay that is connected to Loch Dunvegan and the North Atlantic. The setting is picture postcard perfect!
On the outside, the cottage was built stylistically to fit in with the traditional whitewashed Scottish cottages that you see frequently in Scotland. On the inside, it was very modern and welcoming. Large windows and sliding glass doors faced the ocean allowing us to take in the beautiful vista in the comfort of the living space. While modern in style, the cottage was not cold or sterile in its décor. In fact, we found it to be very warm, inviting, and comfortable. After our daily excursions on Skye, we thoroughly enjoyed coming back to the cottage to unwind.
The kitchen is well-equipped, the bathrooms are modern, and the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable.
The fact it is about 8 miles off the main road (A850), you get very little traffic on the one-track road in front of the cottage and basically no ambient light. If location is everything, we can testify whole-heartedly that this cottage delivers 110% on that measure. While not located in the middle of Skye, we felt the cottage was a great home base for exploring the magnificent beauty of Skye yet still allowing us peace and solitude in a beautiful scenic setting.
If you are planning a visit to Skye, this cottage is the place to be!
