About this property

An Creagan Is A Luxury 4 Star Self-catering Cottage With Spectacular Sea Views

On a clear day you have a spectacular view of the Outer Hebrides, and the night sky takes your breath away, as you are covered by a blanket of stars. Just a short distance from the photographers favourite, the Neist Point Lighthouse (Britain's highest cliff walk). The Crofter's cottage is over 100 years old, and has been newly refurbished to a high standard in a way that has retained its original charm and appeal. It still remains in the same family that built it, being passed down from generation to generation. An Creagan is a 10 min drive from the world famous Three Chimneys Restaurant, a 15 min drive from Dunvegan, and a 50 min drive from Portree. There is a local Post Office/ Shop and Tea Room approx 1 mile from the cottage. An Creagan is part of Isle of Skye Retreats, and the cottage can very comfortably accommodate four guests within its two generously proportioned bedrooms. Unfortunately, the cottage is not suitable for small children. We allow children from 6 years plus stay at An Creagan. The upstairs has a king-size bedroom and the second bedroom has two singles. All bedrooms have black-out curtains with Harris Tweed furnishings and high quality 100% cotton sheets. All the bedding is hypoallergenic (duvets are "all season" double layered). The main bathroom upstairs has an over-shower bath and under-floor heating. There is an extendable dining table in the living room (no separate dining room), and there is also an extendable table in the porch, where you can just sit, relax and watch the sea-eagles from the window. In common with most cottages of that period and style, the ceilings are low in places, so please mind your head, especially when climbing the stairs! There is ample parking and a large fenced garden area with outdoor seating and a BBQ for guests to use. The multi-fuel stove and under-floor heating add a cosy feel to the cottage for relaxed evenings in. There is easy to manage electric heating throughout the cottage. There is Wi-Fi for guests to use, and also Freesat satellite channels on TVs in the living room and master bedroom. An i-pod docking station/radio/CD and DVD player is available at the cottage . The kitchen is extremely well equipped with everything you will need for your stay, including washing machine, dishwasher, oven fridge freezer, microwave and refrigerated wine cooler. Guests can also access the Hay Loft (the upstairs area of the barn. This is ideal for walkers and cyclists to store and dry items. The cottage itself is only a short 5-10 min walk from Meanish Pier, so it is easily accessible for those who like to go boating or fishing. Whether you are visiting the enchanted Island for the wildlife, arts, photography, walking, boating or cycling, you will not be disappointed by this inspirational location.

A Wonderful Cottage
The cottage sits, elevated from the road, with spectacular views. A traditional croft cottage. Booking process was so easy, with updates from owner, as required. Instructions supplied before arrival were clear and accurate. The cottage was spotless on arrival, it is so well equipped, with everything you need and all in good condition. The welcome packs for ourselves and our dog were very much appreciated. We had a superb holiday and cannot wait to get back.

Wunderbare Tage auf Skye
Das Haus liegt etwas abgelegen aber sehr idyllisch nicht weit von dem bekannten Leuchtturm und Fotomotiv Neist Point. Das Haus ist in allen Belangen sehr hochwertig und mit viel Liebe ausgestattet. Von den Matratzen über die Töpfe und die Messer bis zu schönen Wolldecken und vielen DVD' s für schlechtes Wetter - alles ist da und in ausgezeichnetem Zustand. Auch die Begrüßung war sehr nett - mit Gastgeschenken selbst für unseren Hund :) . Allerdings haben die Betten an Kopf und Füßen Begrenzungen. Das mag nicht jeder und Personen, die größer als 185 cm sind, könnten damit Probleme haben. Insgesamt eine klare Empfehlung!

Dream on Skye
Ich kann mich den anderen Bewertungen nur anschließen. Das Cottage ist ein kleiner Traum und bestens ausgestattet. Es gibt genug Geschirr und Platz in der Küche, um die eigenen Einkäufe zu verstauen. Wenn das Wetter mal nicht mitspielt, gibt es Bücher, DVDs und Karten/Reiseführer, um den nächsten Ausflug zu planen. Die Kommunikation mit Ann lief ohne Probleme und ich bin mir sicher, sie kann auch noch Tipps geben, wenn jemand nichts mit sich anzufangen weiß. Aber selbst dann kann man immer noch den Ausblick genießen. Ich würde jederzeit wieder hin fahren und habe den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

Wonderful cottage with a great view
We were looking for a quiet, cozy week away on Skye, taking in the stunningly beautiful nature--hills, ocean, sheep, etc. We found all of that at Ann's cottage in Milovaig or close by. The house itself is great, top-notch renovation of an old farmhouse with a well-equipped kitchen, modern radiators and underfloor heating, and all sorts of other ameneties. Would love to come back!

Einfach perfekt
Das Haus hat unsere Erwartungen in Bezug auf die Lage und Ausstattung voll erfüllt und teilweise sogar noch deutlich übertroffen. So ist beispielsweise die Küche hervorragend ausgestattet und läßt keine Wünsche offen. Selbst die Küchenmesser waren scharf, was oft ein Schwachpunkt in Ferienwohnungen ist. Auch die Handtücher sind von hervorragender Qualität. Die Vermieter haben alles perfekt vorbereitet: durch kleine Aufsteller wird der Gast in Bezug auf die Bedienung z.B. des Kaminofens oder der Heizung sofort ins Bild gesetzt. Auch die Internetverbindung war hervorragend. Das besondere Highlight ist aber natürlich die einmalige Lage mit freiem Panoramablick auf das Meer und die umliegende Landschaft. Alles in allem haben wir eine perfekte und sehr erholsame Urlaubswoche in dem Cottage verbracht.

Lovely quiet and charming cottage
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cottage. Everything was well stocked and so clean when we arrived. We enjoyed waking up to the sounds of sheep heading into the fields. The views from the front of the cottage were amazing. It was really a relaxing time on Skye.

Even without the sunshine we had such a lovely week at the cottage - the inclement weather being a great excuse just to enjoy the fire. This wee gem of a place is so well equipped that you need only arrive with the clothes on your back - even our greyhound Shedfield, wanted for nothing! We’ll definitely be back.

Just about perfect!
We feel so fortunate to have spent eight nights in this wonderfully situated and equipped cottage! From the outside it's a delightful and utterly typical croft but inside it's been renovated to an exceptionally high standard with a tidy and efficient kitchen fitted with quality appliances and lacking nothing to prepare meals. There's even temperature controlled wine storage. One night we bought scallops from divers down at the pier. Almost daily we enjoyed cappuccino just a mile away at Cafe Lephin. Across from the cafe is the Glendale General Store, with almost everything you might need, though we we happy we stocked up at the Coop in Portree. One of Scotland's best restaurants, Three Chimneys is 3 miles away. The Neist Lighthouse, one of Skye favorite sights is also a couple of miles away. Yes, there are places even a short person can bump a head and the decor is rather dark and formal for my taste but the internet is excellent, the lighting good, it's spotlessly clean and the outlook, filled with gamboling lambs when we were there, is unforgettable.

Cosy hideaway
The cottage was immaculately clean, very comfortable and well equipped. Location great if you want to get away from it all. The headroom in the upstairs bathroom and on the stairs is very restricted so if you’re on the tall side it’s maybe not for you. However, it didn’t spoil our enjoyment and the most generous welcome pack was hugely appreciated. An excellent stay, thank you!

Highly recommended
A beautiful old cottage that has been restored to high standard without loosing its charm. There isn’t anything that the host has overlooked at this cottage. Very well equipped, beds you just don’t want to get out of, crisp white linen, soft towels, lovely toiletries, beautiful views over the loch. We just couldn’t find a single fault with this property. Before having a dog ourselves, we would never book a ‘dog friendly ‘ cottage, as alway thought there would be signs that a dog had been there! How wrong were we? The cleaner needs more than five stars here. Only one very small point to note if you have a dog who is not used to sheep, check the garden before you let them out of cottage. Although the garden is secure the entrance is via a cattle grid and the sheep know how to jump over it, so sneak in when you are not around!

The property is definitely 5*+. When we entered the property we all felt totally relaxed and at home. There was everything we needed for our stay. The location was stunning. We and our dog loved the little touches such as the welcome packs and bathroom goodies. We would highly recommend this property if you want to totally relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Idyllic
A beautiful cottage renovated to a high specification with absolutely everything you might need. Nestled into the hillside overlooking the ocean yet close enough to some of the best restaurants and cafes Skye has to offer while out of the way enough to enjoy the splendour of the area - on a clear day the outer Hebrides can easily be seen and the night sky will take your breath away. We’ll definitely book again.

Best cottage you could wish for
This cottage is the best choice for a lovely holiday on the Isle of Skye. The quiet location is a real ‘recharge batteries’ place with stunning views to enjoy. The cottage is perfectly equipped with everything you need, very functional and high standards in everything from bed lining to furniture, very unique for a holiday cottage. It has a very cosy atmosphere and when you enjoy your glass of Whiskey in front of the fire place in the evening, it makes the day complete. The owner is very special too, reacting promptly to all inquiries and greeting you with a lovely welcome package. Overall you feel her caring, personal touch in every corner of the cottage, from great movies choices to interesting games and you’ll want is to come back as soon as possible.
