About this property

Karinya Crossal Cottage

Karinya is in a fantastic location for visiting Skye. Out of the hustle of Portree, it sits with a view toward the Red and Black Cuillin Hills.
There is a brand new sauna downstairs, a fire in the living room and a well thought out layout with a BBQ available on request outside.
Located 15 minutes from the Talisker distillery and about 20 minutes drive from the Fairy Pools on the main circular road around the north end of the island. Only 2.5 miles from the ever popular Sligachan, which is a central point for embarking on any walk or expedition in the Cuillin Hills.
Ideal for your exploration of Skye and venturing into the mountains, or indeed to get away from normal life.
We are delighted to add Karinya to what we can offer here on Skye.
Pets require prior approval.

Excellent stay
Perfect base for exploring Skye. The house was lovely and very warm, which is a plus when visiting in February! The views from the house are stunning. Lovely big kitchen and very comfortable rooms. Can’t fault it.

Wonderful stay!
Clean, comfortable, warm and well equipped house with great views. If you’re in Skye to walk in the hills, this place is in the perfect location. It has everything you need for an enjoyable stay and was immaculately presented. Some nice touches like a bottle of wine on arrival, plus things like tea and coffee, toiletries etc. Would definitely recommend!

A most excellent stay
We had a great stay at Karinya. We’ve given everything a 5 star rating and with good reason. We did have a small glitch with the wi-fi, but the Property Managers were with us within the hour and quickly resolved our issue. Overall, the house and location are great. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Cottage
My boyfriend and I stayed here with another couple and it was perfect for us. We had tons of room to spread out, and the house was super clean with nice furnishings. It's a little out of the way, but we liked that compared to being in Portree. Loved the view of the stunning waterfall right from the front yard, and it was convenient to the Fairy Pools and other hikes we wanted to do. Would stay again if we every make it back to Skye!

Nice cottage in a great location.
When we arrived, the clothes dryer had been removed for repair. Once it was brought to the owner's attention, it was resolved. Beyond that, a perfect stay, we would definitely come back. Modern kitchen and baths. We liked that the location was a 15-20 minutes drive to Portree, nice cafe's and good for getting supplies. But it was also far enough away where you really felt at one with the surroundings. Amazing views from the front lawn!

Perfect location to visit Skye
While not in town, we enjoyed the beautiful home, the location to visit Skye and the surrounding countryside. Home maybe not be for the people who want a town experience, but it is a beautiful and comfortable home for the tourist.

cottages was lovely it meet our needs. It was lovely that each each master bedroom had its own ensuite. The kitchen was well equipped with plates etc the only issue is found in the kitchen was the can openers did not open cans. The views are amazing the space is relaxing, overall the cottage is good option. Portree is a nice place however you will require car to commute to town.

A wonderful charming home in the heart of Isle of Skye
My family had a beautiful stay at this wonderful home! Very close to the ferry pools and talisker distillery. The house was comfortable, clean and had all of the amenities that you would possibly want, including a sauna. Would highly recommend staying here!

Highly Recommend
This was a great place to stay, especially with small children. It was a very safe environment for us to be cooking or relaxing while the children played. The location being so central meant minimal time in the car for the kids while we travelled around the island. We had a big storm while we were there and we felt very secure. The staff were excellent and were available on the phone whenever needed.

Loved the location
Overall, loved it. The location was excellent for the day trips we had planned. The main downside was the lack of a traditional shower on the upper floor. There was a tub with a hand-held wand thing in the master bath and that was the only bathroom on that level - the 2nd bedroom on that level didn't have access to a bathroom. Downstairs there was one bedroom and 2 bathrooms - one en suite and one right next to the room - both with showers.

Loved Karinya!
Other than the inability to check in online our stay was wonderful. The property manager was very helpful at the start. Karinya has a magnificent setting and the modern "cottage" was pleasant and that made for a memorable stay. Thank you!

Beautiful home, beautiful location
This modern home served us very well for our stay. There were six of us including 2 teens. Property very clean and well supplied. 2nd floor gets warm but owners provide fans so we were just fine. Lots of comfy places to sit and enjoy a meal, a book or just the beautiful views. We all did the puzzle and that was fun! Thank you
