Unique cottage standing in crofting area of North East Skye. Ground floor only in use. 1 bedroom. No extra beds possible.The cottage does have wifi.Dog on lead welcome. There are animals in nearby fields so dog must be supervised. The cottage has wifi.
We are living in Staffin, closest neighbour to The Cottage . We are here for a chat any time. We advertise the cottage as a good base for walkers and all who enjoy this simple relaxing away from it all location. A functional but not a luxury property. The cottage is for the sole use of the 1 or 2 guests.
Staffin is an area of many beautiful sights including the Trotternish Ridge with Ben Edra and the well known Quiraing with many walking options. The Old Man of Storr pinnacle which is also world famous for its views is about 15 minutes drive away. There are also plenty other walks in the area including to the little beach and rocky shore at Staffin Bay with the Dinosaur footprints that were located some years ago now. There are also 2 other Dinosaur footprint sites a short drive away. The Kilt rock is nearby as are the Lealt Falls.
