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.

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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
...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.
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!
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!
Should have been our honeymoon but was our perfect getaway
What can I say?! Helen is an amazing host and the views and the property are stunning. Super supportive and checked on us throughout the stay to ensure everything was ok. The house is beautiful and the view was phenomenal. An excellent base to explore Skye and beyond . Highly recommended .
Very clean and cosy cottage in a wonderful location
We booked a late break on Skye and feel we were truly lucky to have found Helens lovely cottage. Despite pretty wet weather we walked out and dried off in style: cottage perfectly positioned for the views and the wood burner was wonderful. Many thanks
We spent 4 wonderful days on Skye, the property was everything we expected and more. Very comfortable and excellent views, the deer walked by the house most mornings. Access to Skye was good, I will be seeking to rent this property in the future
