4 bedroom Self Catering Cottage in Skye

The Old Mill Cottage Skye is 4 bedroomed (sleeping 6) luxury holiday cottage set in a rural crofting community in the north of Skye. This stylish modern cottage nestles comfortably near the coastal shores of Kilmaluag Bay on a quiet road overlooking the scenic village of Kilmaluag, not far from the ferry port of Uig and the beautiful Staffin Bay. It is a real get-away-from-it-all location, being situated at the north end of the island and thus avoids a lot of the main summer tourist traffic, yet is easily accessible from Portree and near the ferry port of Uig from where one can visit the Outer Isles. There is more than enough to keep a family occupied for a whole week in the locality. English and Gaelic are spoken giving an individual service.

The Old Mill Cottage is situated in the idyllic remote hamlet of North Duntulm on Trotternish, the craggy northern peninsula of Skye. The cottage overlooks the most northerly coast where whales and dolphins can often be seen swimming in the Gulf Stream. The setting is ideal for those with a romantic heart as the local 'fairy hills' of Trotternish are both strange and enchanting with discreet waterfalls and fairy pools that brim with wild flowers in the summer. There are also plenty of walks for all levels of ability, both locally and down through the famous rugged Cuillin hills (50 minutes drive away).

This two storey renovated crofter's cottage is furnished in traditional pine; it is both modern and very well equipped to host up to six people. The cottage is beautifully decorated and airy.
