  • "Riverside Cottage is an absolutely delightful home from home."

    Beautifully located with tremendous views across the loch and an ideal base to explore this wonderful part of Skye. Remote yet only 10 minutes from the excellent Coop and all the facilities of Portree. The cottage is very modern, extremely comfortable, well laid out with a magnificent kitchen diner that flows through to a spacious lounge with log fire and further sitting area with windows on 3 sides to relax and enjoy the views. It has all the appliances, kitchen and dining facilities you could ever wish for, all of top quality. The owner lives nearby and is quickly available if needed and very caring. This was our second of we hope many future visits.
