Fabulous House with Stunning Sea Views to Skye. By NTS gardens. Great Privacy.

Standing above Lochalsh in its own secluded grounds and surrounded by the National Trust for Scotland woodland gardens. South facing and in a magnificent setting with wonderful views of sea and the mountains of Skye rising to over 1000m. Although extremely private, lying along its own track of around 300m, it is only 3-4 minutes by car to Kyle of Lochalsh which has a railway station (the scenic railway line to Inverness really is world famous!) a bank, shops and an excellent supermarket. There is also a smaller supermarket and Post Office about a mile away. Our garden has a large lawn and is planted with Magnolias and mature species Rhododendrons from Bhutan, China and Nepal and which flower from February until August.
Doubled glazed with fitted carpets throughout. The house has full modern gas central heating and hot water, and wood/coal burning stoves. If you want to keep in touch, we offer free Fast Fibre Wireless broad band WiFi. It is a wonderful location with great privacy. The skies above us in winter are ink-black and intoxicating - perfect for star-gazing! (when did you last see the Milky Way .....?!)

From 29th October 2026 VRBO moved their own Guest Service fee into the listing price. There is thus no longer any additional VRBO Service Fee for guests to pay.
It is fully included and appears in the listing as the new price. Our own prices remain the same.

A lovely 3 bedroom cottage with lots of original features. It is at the top of a narrow private driveway which we managed easily but it might be a bit tight for a large SUV or people carrier. All the amenities you need for a for a peaceful ,relaxing stay.

The view from this property was stunning!! This VRBO was clean and comfortable. We loved being tucked away from the city but still close to Kyle and all of the attractions in the area. We enjoyed many meals sitting at the table looking out over the water. Its a great place to get-away from it all.

This cottage was a bit tricky to find, in spite of the detailed directions given to us, but well worth the moments of confusion. The cottage is very quaint, comfortable and has a wonderful view of the inlet. We really appreciated the list of nearby attractions and restaurants.It was the perfect base for us to explore the surrounding area - especially the Isle of Skye.Anna was very helpful and responsive.

Stayed here 3 nights with my teenage son. Views were incredible, location was wonderful, and the house was very cozy. It is an older house with older facilities but there is a booklet that gives directions for everything and notes around the house to help as well. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit Isle of Skye!

Great location, very comfortable cottage! We were 2 couples staying and found it spacious and loved waking up and overlooking the water! Check in is simple, the cottage well equipped and there wasn't anything more we needed. Anna is excellent about communicating and has great suggestions. A short drive to the bridge to Isle of Skye as well!

Pros: The view is absolutely beautiful and is the highlight of this property. The house itself is charming and full of character, and the heater works well once you figure out how to use it. The property manager was also very responsive and quick to answer questions.Cons: The beds are quite old and uncomfortable. There was no laundry detergent provided, and the information booklet is several years out of date, making it less helpful than expected. We've traveled extensively throughout the UK and Europe and have come to appreciate the small kitchen conveniences many vacation rentals provide such as tea, coffee, cooking oil, and basic spices but none of these were available here. Overall: If you're looking for spectacular views and don't mind sacrificing some comfort and amenities, this property delivers. In our opinion, you're primarily paying for the incredible location and scenery.

Close to Kyle and Skye with Fabulous Views

The vintage cottage was quite charming. Our family enjoyed the close proximity to Isle of Skye and the tranquility of being nestled in the woods after a full day of exploring. As others have stated - the views were beautiful, even in the rain!Host communications was excellent. They provided clear instructions and a list of things to see and do in the area. Home is close to groceries and dining options. Kitchen is stocked with all of the essentials. Beds are comfortable and extra blankets are available.

Lovely older home and good location for getting onto Isle of Skye. It rained quite heavily during our stay and was very windy. Something kept hitting the second floor of the house due to wind making it difficult to sleep. Skye is beautiful, even in the rain. It takes a while to drive to places, so plan accordingly.
