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.

A newer property with excellent construction and a beautiful location our family enjoyed the Hill Cottage enormously. The pictures are accurate and everything was as expected and in some cases even better. A strong recommend for a group of four or less for a holiday on The Isle of Skye!

The house is charming, modern, clean and very well supplied. The view is breathtaking. The location is ideal—close enough to Portree to be convenient, but well away from the bustle. We loved our time there and highly recommend Hill Cottage.

Idyllic Stay on Skye
The views from the fabulous country cottage are simply stunning. The cottage is a very well-appointed house that has everything one could want. The house is situated to take advantage of views from every room. The kitchen is modern and easy to use, and radiant heating in the rooms keeps the cottage snug. Being only a ten-minute drive to Portree makes this a convenient location and yet provides the peace and quiet of the countryside. You will not be disappointed if you rent this charming house.

Nice Stay with helpful Owners
We enjoyed our stay in late May 2022 in this clean and tidy private cottage, which has nice views across the lochs. Kitchen and property in general had all that we needed. The weather did not cooperate much during our holiday, but the cottage kept us warm and dry. Owners were helpful with restaurant suggestions and happy to give other advice.
