Karinya Crossal Cottage

Karinya is in a fantastic location for visiting Skye. Out of the hustle of Portree, it sits with a view toward the Red and Black Cuillin Hills.
There is a brand new sauna downstairs, a fire in the living room and a well thought out layout with a BBQ available on request outside.
Located 15 minutes from the Talisker distillery and about 20 minutes drive from the Fairy Pools on the main circular road around the north end of the island. Only 2.5 miles from the ever popular Sligachan, which is a central point for embarking on any walk or expedition in the Cuillin Hills.
Ideal for your exploration of Skye and venturing into the mountains, or indeed to get away from normal life.
We are delighted to add Karinya to what we can offer here on Skye.
Pets require prior approval.

Karinya Cottage is in a stunning location and is a great launch off location to many top attractions on Skye. The house itself is spacious and nicely decorated. We were very comfortable during our stay. We wanted to stay longer and we would definitely return.

Wonderful stay!

Clean, comfortable, warm and well equipped house with great views. If you’re in Skye to walk in the hills, this place is in the perfect location. It has everything you need for an enjoyable stay and was immaculately presented. Some nice touches like a bottle of wine on arrival, plus things like tea and coffee, toiletries etc. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect location to visit Skye

While not in town, we enjoyed the beautiful home, the location to visit Skye and the surrounding countryside. Home maybe not be for the people who want a town experience, but it is a beautiful and comfortable home for the tourist.

A wonderful charming home in the heart of Isle of Skye

My family had a beautiful stay at this wonderful home! Very close to the ferry pools and talisker distillery. The house was comfortable, clean and had all of the amenities that you would possibly want, including a sauna. Would highly recommend staying here!

A most excellent stay

We had a great stay at Karinya. We’ve given everything a 5 star rating and with good reason. We did have a small glitch with the wi-fi, but the Property Managers were with us within the hour and quickly resolved our issue. Overall, the house and location are great. Highly recommend.
