Holiday Cottage Details

A magical location on the western edge of Skye, Mandallagh Cottage is nestled within a small crofting hamlet accessed by a single track road winding through mountains and offering panoramic views of Dunvegan Head and on a clear day the Outer Hebrides. Famous for its considerable variety of flora and fauna dolphins, whales, basking sharks, seals and sea otters are often sighted in the surrounding area. One of two holiday cottages available to rent all year round, this property is within enclosed shared grounds with its own private parking. Mandallagh has an outdoor seating area overlooking the sea an ideal place from which to watch the sun set. This is an idyllic peaceful location which with the influence of the Gulf Stream often enjoys relatively mild winters however open fires and storage heating is available just in case. 

Refurbished to a high standard and furnished as a home, this light spacious bungalow has an immediate feeling of comfort and warmth. The living room gives a family atmosphere around an open fire (coal only) and the quiet sitting room is a place to read or enjoy the view of the islands. With its many books and maps and sofas on which to relax Mandallagh is a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the area. The views are simply stunning.
