Tucked away on the south-eastern coast of the Isle of Skye, the largest of the Inner Hebridean islands, this delightful cottage is ideal for families and friends who love the great outdoors. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, the property is situated in the peaceful crofting village of Camus Croise (Camuscross). Immerse yourselves in the tranquillity and natural beauty of the area with lots of walks from your doorstep. The beach is within a few hundred metres, as is a small pier, an art gallery, a whisky shop and the welcoming local pub that serves good meals and drams of the local tipple.

Recently refurbished, this light and airy single-storey property has been decorated in neutral tones and with contemporary fixtures and fittings, while the occasional pop of tartan and quirky artwork adds charm and character. On entering, leave muddy shoes and wet coats in the porch (also home to the washing machine) before stepping into the bright kitchen/diner. Here, you’ll find everything you’ll need to cook up a big breakfast, prepare a picnic or spend time making a delicious evening meal. When it’s time to relax, head into the lounge where you can light the wood burner before snuggling up on the sofa. Continuing down the hall, you’ll find two beautifully-presented, spacious bedrooms, which share a modern family bathroom with separate shower and bath.

In warmer months, you can make the most of the outside area which has plenty of space to stretch your legs as well as a BBQ and furniture for al fresco dining with a view. There is plenty of parking on the driveway.

This was a lovely place to stay and in a good position to visit other areas of Skye. It was spacious and well equipped and very cosy, with the log burner quickly warming the place on a cool evening. The owner was great at communication and quickly solved a small issue with the WiFi. A good find!

Perfect location for us, in the Sleat Peninsula, with easy access to Broadford for shops and the excellent Shellfish Shack. Great dog walks and wonderful views abound, though not from this comfortable property. Terrific friendly bar/restaurant down the road at the Eilean Iarmain. The cottage was spotlessly clean, quality bed linen, excellent showerRead more and a very comfortable reclining sofa. The garden is not fully enclosed but our dogs enjoyed the outside space. No freezer (ice box in fridge). Hide

Cottage was clean, cozy, and located within walking distance of a lovely inn and pub where we had fresh seafood right off the historic pier outside. Lots of great stuff within short driving distance (distillery 7 minute drive away, coffee shop and store 5 minute drive away). The rest of Skye very accessible from the Sleat peninsula where cottage isRead more located. We appreciated the wood burning stove, even in July (we had a couple of 9 degree C nights)! Great home base for Skye explorations. Hide

Camus Cottage is in an excellent location, being a short walk from both a beautiful bay and a pub/restaurant. It is well equipped, clean and spacious and has a lovely garden. Although it is a distance from the main tourist attractions it has beautiful walks and points of interest nearby and is far less busy than the more well trodden areas.

Excellent cottage. Clean and fully equipped. In a wonderful location which was quiet and picturesque. Our dog loved his morning walk down to the bay and we loved the short walk to the pub for something to eat. We will be back!
