A stay in this stone-built croft house near Carbost promises a wonderful mix of adventure, history, and relaxation for the whole family. Begin your day with a peaceful stroll down to the shores of Fiscavaig Beach, a quiet spot for beachcombing, paddling, or simply soaking up the wild beauty of Skye’s coastline. A 3-mile trip away, the village of Carbost overlooks stunning Loch Harport and is best known for the Talisker Distillery, where whisky lovers can discover the art of whisky-making on a fascinating tour. The village is also a great starting point for guided mountain walks, offering panoramic views and fresh Highland air. For a dose of history, visit Dunvegan Castle (25 miles), the ancestral home of the MacLeod clan for over 800 years.
Step into this character-filled countryside escape, where traditional charm meets laid-back comfort. The welcoming panelled lounge invites you to sink into big, comfortable sofas and unwind in front of the crackling open fire after a day of adventure. Gather for meals in the dining room, complete with a cosy armchair that’s just right for curling up with a good book. Throughout the property, you’ll be treated to enchanting views. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up hearty breakfasts, picnic lunches or indulgent evening suppers, while a handy downstairs bathroom adds to the convenience. Upstairs, the panelled walls continue through three bright and airy bedrooms – a spacious double, a cheerful twin, and a snug single room with slanted ceiling.
