Greg
It's located just a 15 minute drive north of Portree (the main town) making it very central and accessible to most areas of interest. The cottage is located on a very quiet lane with views over the hills and the loch. It has a secure garden which was great for the dog. It is spacious with a kitchen/ dining room, two living rooms, one with a wood burner and one with an open fire, downstairs toilet/ shower room, upstairs bathroom with bath/ shower and 3 bedrooms We used the wood burner and it made the cottage lovely and cosy. Its a great place!

We were also delighted to find electric blankets on the beds when we found ourselves in a sudden cold spell in October.
