Hill Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Hill Cottage has a superb views from all rooms and a lovely private location on the Isle of Skye which ensures privacy whilst it is still close to all the popular spots that are not to be missed on this wonderful island. Located just 9 miles from Portree this modern "Eco" 2 bedroom bungalow has lots of character and views to die for, looking out over Loch Snizort, the light and colours are fascinating, even when the weather is not so good, memorable sunsets and sightings of wildlife including sea eagles may be enjoyed without leaving the house or garden.

The 4* Visit Scotland graded cottage is finished to the highest of standards to ensure a comfortable stay and features underfloor heating, oak finishings and a wood stove which is perfect for sitting beside for a "warm" following a days activities and exploring. The choice of places to visit is many and varied with Skeabost Bridge nearby as is Portree, Fairy Glen and Fairy Pools, Quiraing, the Old Man of Storr, The Cullins, Talisker Distillery, the wonderful Coral Beach, and Dunvegan Castle. The excellent and locally owned Skeabost Hotel is 2 miles away. Within the village of Skeabost Bridge you will find the River Snizort (the best salmon fishing river on Skye). In addition to this, besides the old bridge, there is St. Columb's Isle where there is an ancient burial ground, the old parish church is believed to be late mediaeval whilst the older and more intact Chapel of St. Columba dates to the 11th century. Tradition claims that 28 Nicolson chiefs were buried in this mortuary chapel. For those looking to participate in the national sport of Scotland, then the Isle of Skye Golf Club is within easy reach.

Perfect wee cottage
Hill Cottage was exactly what we were hoping for on Skye. It is well situated for our excursions around the Trotternish peninsula. We wanted to stay longer just to appreciate the views. If we get the chance to come back to Skye, we will definitely stay here again.
