About this property
Beautiful converted croft house with stunning views
West Cottage was built around 1870 as a typical croft house with a byre beside it but gradually deteriorated during the 1990s until it was in danger of becoming derelict. In 2007 the old cottage was stripped back to the stone shell; it was re-roofed and completely refurbished to a very high standard and a large living-room was built on the end of the old house on the site of the former byre. The cottage offers comfortable accommodation over 2 floors. The living room, kitchen/dining and double bedroom with en-suite shower are on the ground floor with a further double bedroom, twin room and bathroom upstairs. The kitchen is fully equipped with electric cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The living room has well-stocked book shelves, a wood burning stove and a colour TV. There is wifi throughout the house.

Helen and the croft cottage was simply amazing! The location was perfect, and the view from the living room was STUNNING.
We would absolutely stay here again.
Idyllic cottage with one of the best views of the Sound of Sleat. A peaceful haven away from the busy spots of Skye, and within reach of some of the most beautiful parts of the mainland like Glenelg and Sandaig. Great communication by the owner. My second visit and I will definitely be returning.
We could not have enjoyed our stay at Helen's cottage more. Everything was perfectly clean, and very simply and beautifully appointed. The decor was calming and thoughtful. We enjoyed using the lovely Isle of Skye dishware, sitting by the fireplace in the evenings, contemplating the beautiful views of the sound in the large and window-filled living area. Helen provided excellent recommendations and clear instructions, and was a pleasure to communicate with. I hope we will have a chance to return someday! It's one of the prettiest places we have ever stayed.
We were thrilled with our stay at this authentic crofters cottage. On an increasingly crowded Skye, its location is perfect as it is sited so you see or hear no other visitors …. Only the vistas, sheep, and the sea. It is close to amenities, well appointed, and clean; the books are a treasure! Fabulous cottage; we will be back!

FANTASTIC holiday - could not have asked for more!
Wow - West Cottage is amazing! We had a fantastic long weekend stay in Teangue, and we could not have asked for more. The house is fantastic and kitted out with everything you need - and more books than you could read in a few months! The view is spectacular, and we got some fantastic sunsrises, and moons over the water. We even got a visit from the local deer on our first night! Thank you for such a fantastic holiday, we would recommend this to everyone!
...and that includes two "luxury" hotels. Frank and Helen's space is wonderful and the perfect base-camp for Isle of Skye. Great kitchen (lots of extras in the pantry so look before you shop). Everything works perfectly. Quiet location, amazing views, beautiful mattress and linens, and the wood-stove and library were the best wind-down after longs days of hiking and fishing. We are deeply grateful to Frank and Helen for sharing their space with us.

A little piece of heaven
We absolutely loved West Cottage. It has been refurbished to a very high standard whilst keeping the authentic “Croft” feel. The downstairs ensuite bedroom was perfect for my 92 year old Mum & the view from the sitting room is just breathtaking - even better when the weather’s good enough to enjoy the view sitting outside with a gin & tonic (which it was this week!)
We loved staying in Teangue at this cottage. It was very well appointed and extremely comfortable. The living room is spacious with a reading area and large sliding glass doors with lovely views across to the water and mountains beyond. There is a downstairs double bedroom with en suite bathroom, and two bedrooms and a shared bathroom upstairs. Close to the Armadale ferry - just 20 mins to Mallaig, and a short drive from Broadford. Nock castle is worth exploring - you can see it from the cottage and when the tide is out the shoreline makes for interesting rock pool exploration! Highly recommend!
Just out of the way of the throngs of tourists, this location is ideal. While we drove out to Trotternish and surroundings a couple of times, what really astounded us was just how gorgeous this part of Skye is. We had a fantastic time exploring the area, and would 100% recommend this location for ease of movement, access to all points of Skye, and comfort. Hosts were very understanding after I had trouble finding the key (my own fault! - didn't read all the details closely!). Kind folks.

One of the loveliest places on Skye
Great cottage with everything you need in a beautiful part of the Isle. Sleat is fantastic as a point to see the rest of the island. Sleat Peninsula itself is beautiful. We even toured the finally opened Torabhaig distillery in its first week of opening. The beach down by Torabhaig is a must when tide is out. The cottage itself has all the amenities including great wifi. The views were amazing and Helen was very helpful. Very simple process to check in and check out. Great holiday for relaxing, sightseeing and walking. Highly recommend the cottage and Isle of Skye at this time of year to avoid the tourism rush. We loved it.
Wir können dieses Haus absolut empfehlen! Die Lage ist perfekt, der Ausblick aus dem Wohnzimmer fantastisch. Helens Anfahrtsbeschreibung ist klar formuliert und wir haben das Haus schnell gefunden. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet! Wir haben uns selbst bekocht und es ist alles vorhanden. Sogar Salz und Pfeffer befand sich im Schrank. Die Isle of Skye ist auch im Herbst wunderschön und wir hatten gutes Wetter.
Ein sehr gemütliches, sauberes und liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus. Der Ausblick ist grandios. Beim Küchenequipment hat nichts gefehlt. Alles war
Der Check-in war absolut unproblematisch. Die Gastgeber waren in unserem Aufenthalt selbst nicht da, haben sich aber 2x telefonisch erkundigt, ob alles in Ordnung ist.
Das Wohnzimmer ist das absolute Highlight dieses geschmackvoll renovierten alten Bauernhauses: ein wunderschöner Blick, viele Bücher, perfekt für alle Wetterlagen. Toller Ausgangspunkt, um Skye zu entdecken und Wanderungen zu machen.
Visited the cottage for a summer holiday with the family. Excellent house with everything you need for a wonderful trip away. Brilliant location, the kids were delighted the deer came to visit at nighttime, and the view across the Loch was amazing too.
Helen was an excellent host, sending clear directions on where to find the house, aswell as recommendations of places to visit and things to do.
Would definitely recommend a visit!
