About this property

Lovely cottage with views of Loch. Near to Neist Point light house. Sleeps 8.

Pooltiel View sleeps 8 (including all infants and children) in two double bedrooms and two twin bedrooms, three of the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and the family bathroom is adjacent to the fourth bedroom. The layout of the house is ideal for large parties of up to eight, two families or a family plus Grandparents. The lounge has floor to ceiling windows to take advantage of the magnificent views. It also has a wood burning stove for the cooler winter evenings. The cottage is set in natural croft land and has stunning views of Loch Pooltiel, surrounding countryside and on a clear day views towards the outer Hebrides. It is in a peaceful location, within a 10 minute walk to Milovaig Pier, a beach can be found at Glendale.

Wifi broadband is available at the cottage. Wifi is also available at Cafe Lephin in Glendale.
EPC = C

The cottage provides the ideal place for relaxing and watching the ever changing vistas and is a super base for touring this mystical and historic island. The cottage is ideally located for visiting Neist Point (just 2-3 miles away) one of Skye's best attractions. Take a visit to Dunvegan Castle (the oldest inhabited castle in Scotland and seat of the Clan MacLeod) and a boat trip to see the seals basking on the rocks in Loch Dunvegan, followed by a visit to the Coral Beach at Claigan, Dunvegan. Other boat trips include a sea trip from Portree to see the varied sea and bird life including the sea eagles, glass-bottomed boat trips and a ferry trip from Uig to the Outer Isles of Lewis, Harris and Uist. No visit to the Isle of Skye is complete without a trip on the Bella Jane from Elgol to Scotland's most isolated Loch Coruisk.

The island boasts some wonderful restaurants, the world famous 'Three Chimneys' just a short drive from the cottage.

Great location close to Point Neist
You will love this place if you want to get away from it all. The house is located on a very quiet street and has a great view. But note that if you want to visit other places on the island, most of those are at least one hour away.

Cottage with an amazing view.
Our stay at the cottage was a relaxing and restful stay. The view is beautiful and a great place to stay to get out of the city. We enjoyed then peacefulness of the town and would recommend the cottage to anyone who plans to visit Isle of Skye.

The house was very clean and modern. The furnishings were new and very comfortable. The bed was comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and modern. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. The best thing was the view, it was awesome. I highly recommend the Pooltiel house.

Summer Holiday 2020
Lovely cottage in beautiful location. If you’ve never been to Skye then you should! A little more storage space would have been appreciated (both in rooms and in kitchen), but we were two families of 4 wanting our own space. Also still struggled with WiFi, but 8 of us were trying to use it at the same time.

Schönes Haus in toller Lage
Schönes Haus in toller Lage; relativ Nahe am Neist Point Lighthouse - Ausflug dahin sehr zu empfehlen. Ansonsten fährt man ohnehin relativ viel, um an die anderen Ecken von skye zu gelangen. Ordentliches W-LAN.

The property is located in a quiet spot which is what we were looking for ideal for our party
This is ideally located for a quite holiday we had a disabled lady in the party of eight who was able to move about the ground floor with ease in her wheelchair The views were stunning and the wildlife (cows and sheep) were bemusing. One of our party managed to photograph a nice deer near the pier, The only thing that could be added is an outside table and chairs, overall we all really enjoyed our stay

Amazing location!!
The location of this home is amazing! The views across the loch of the waterfalls are beautiful. It was so great to wake up every morning and have a cup of coffee with views of the waterfalls and sheep just walking down the street. The location is beautiful and peaceful. It was easy to travel around Skye from here and visit all the sites. We enjoyed staying at home on a rainy night in front of the fire. It was very spacious for our group of 6. We had a wonderful time and would love to go back.

Wonderful time at Pooltiel View 9 !
We had a really great time at pooltiel view 9! A beautiful cottage with everything you need, wondeful weather and a really great view! The cottage was very clean and well kept and had enough possibilities to get out of the way if you wanted. In the morning and late in the evening you could even see deer. The only thing we noticed is that it is very noisy in the house. So can you hear the other talking in the whole house.

Cozy, inspiring, and just ... perfect.
Pooltiel View really was a magical place to spend a long weekend - especially a wet and stormy one! The views of waterfalls blowing up the cliffs across the bay were incredible. Had great hikes to Neist Point lighthouse and around the local roads. Everything you could possibly need (plus some!) in the house to cook, stay entertained, and have great conversation around the dinner table or lounge. Yes, the wifi is spotty at best - but we were all happy to be unplugged and disconnected from the world. Thank you for such a well thought out place Peter and Wendy!

Glendale is beautiful!
We had a nice time at the Cottage. Weather was mostly good and the house is a good location for visiting the Isle of Skye! The place was clean upon arrival and easy enough to find and get in. Plenty of space for 5 adults. Our main issue was the lack of wifi. Even though it is no longer listed as available at the Cottage, it was listed as an amenity when we booked it. This caused quite a few issues for us as we were coming from out of country and our phones were having issues. Also the Glendale hall, which was stated to have wifi, apparently flooded 3 weeks before our arrival and therefore was closed leaving us without any way to get maps or directions, anyway to contact our hosts, or most importantly contact/answer questions from clients (we are self employed). We happened across the wonderful Cafe Lephin which has good wifi and the owners are lovely! They were a huge help to us and the food was delicious! We feel the hosts lack of communication about the wifi and making maps of the area available was disappointing but overall we had a great time in Skye as it is a beautiful area. The Fairy Pools, Portree, and Neist Point are all places we would highly recommend in the area!

Beautiful surroundings and a very nice house.
The setting is absolutely stunning. The view out the front windows are breathtaking. It was a great place to sit and watch the weather rolling in as we had our morning coffee. The house is nice and clean. The beds were fine and linens were OK too. Not luxury but fine. The kitchen was fine as well. The only complaint is that the wifi doesn't work at all. The description says it works intermittently but it never worked once. Otherwise a great place. I loved it.

It was a family holiday and we all enjoyed the delights of walking and photographing Skye
Pooltiel View offered very comfortable and spacious accommodation and all eight of us were very pleased. It was clean and very well laid out. The views were spectacular and the location was peaceful and all we were looking for. The fact that there was little wifi was actually a benefit and added to the peace. We aged from 6 to 67 and all ages enjoyed the holiday immensely.

Wonderful home, great for our group of 8, great beds and showers, BEAUTIFUL VIEW!!
We loved our 4 days at your home! Everything worked great except the WIFI. We loved cooking meals together, planning day trips to Dunvegan, old man of Storr, Quaraing, Portree, and the Neist point lighthouse right down the road! The beauty of your isle of skye is unparalleled! What a perfect view to wake up to each day! Thank you!

Immaculate holiday home in idyllic location
This holiday home is more than spacious and fully equipped with the most comfortable beds ever and endless hot water ! Our family of 5 had all the room we needed in the 4 bedrooms and I'm sure larger groups would be as happy. The views are spectacular (I saw a golden eagle from the back bedroom window !) Be warned the location is remote but the (hour long ??) drive from the bridge or ferry is totally worth it - we would return to this part of Skye without hesitation. Visits to Neist point and Dunvegan castle and Coral beach are easy drives. The Glendale village shop is the best tiny shop ever . Totally recommend this holiday home.

Fantastic property, great holiday.
A beautiful property, exceptionally well maintained within a wonderful setting. We have stayed in various properties over the years​ but must say that this was the best equipped by far. The location is stunning, overlooking the loch with waterfalls in the distance. The sheep entertained us every morning with their ritualistic procession along the road in front of the property. We were a family of four adults and the accommodation more than met our needs. A large cottage or croft, with a beautiful kitchen which as I mentioned was well equipped with all modern conveniences. A lovely living room with a log fire which only took minutes to light, which was a welcome sight after being out walking all day. Not that lightning the fire was essential as the house was centrally heated and well insulated. The beds were very comfortable and I haven't slept so well for a long time. The property provided the ideal base for us to explore the island. We visited out of season and therefore many of the local attractions were closed, but that didn't stop us as were out exploring every day and know that we had much more of the island to see. A good excuse for a return trip, something we definitely hope to do in the future. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Wonderful house in a great location
We stayed at Pooltiel View 8th to 22nd October 2016. Directions to house were simple and it was easy to find. First impressions were good, but the house is fabulous and the views are great, especially the sheep and cows outside the front door. The house is lovely and comfortable and the photos don't do it justice. It is very well equipped and can easily accommodate 8 people but still has loads of space. The location is good and it's a nice walk either to the village of Glendale or to the lighthouse at Neist Point. Visited Dunvegan Castle, Talisker Distillery and Portree and would recommend them all. Skye is absolutely stunning and we were really lucky with the weather, only had rain 2 days out of the 14. The addition of the internet will be a big plus, I personally didn't miss it, but hubby and daughter did. We would definitely return to this house and hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.

About the host

Hosted by Peter & Wendy

Host profile image
Having holidayed on Skye and the West coast of Scotland over the years, we decided to build a home on Skye, for ourselves and others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

The plot enjoys magnificent sea and rural views. It is quietly located, set in natural croft land with magnificent views of Loch Pooltiel, Dunvegan Head and on a clear day the Outer Hebridean Islands. The cottage was designed by a local architect and has been finished to a high standard.
The cottage is ideally located to visit Neist Point, one of Skye's popular attractions.

What makes this property unique

The cottage has been finished to a high standard boasting three en suite bathrooms and the main bathroom is adjacent to the fourth bedroom.
The lounge has floor to ceiling windows to take full advantage of the fantastic views. In the colder evenings it is very pleasant to sit in front of the wood burner whilst watching the ever changing vistas.
With no light pollution, at night, there are amazing starry skies.
It is possible to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).
Highland cattle and sheep graze here in front of the cottage and there is plenty of wildlife to be seen.
