High on a hillside on the western edge of Skye sits this pretty whitewashed bungalow, brimming with rustic charm and homely touches.

Right on the rugged edges of the country, where the Isle of Skye meets the Atlantic, this holiday cottage is a dream retreat for a family or group of friends wishing to get away from the grind and immerse themselves in the wilderness of this stunning Scottish island.

The cottage is a quaint, pretty bungalow set on a meadowy climb overlooking the sea. Inside, its light and cosy rooms offer your very own island retreat; with uninterrupted views across the water and mountains, and space outside, the cottage gives you the ability to immerse yourself in this fantastic atmosphere.

Inside, the rooms are ideal for a troupe of adventurers. The sitting room is snug and pretty, with sofas and armchairs beside the TV and an open fire. The kitchen is in a sweet country style with a window-side family table and all the equipment and appliances you need to rustle up fuel for your hikes and cycle rides. Head through to your lovely bedrooms. The master is a romantic double, peaceful with light furnishings and thoughtful touches. The other bedrooms are a twin and a bunk bedroom, perfect for kids to enjoy their own space while they’re here. Each room enjoys its own special view of the dramatic surrounding scenery.

The space outside the cottage has been designed so that you can make the most of the landscape. Lush grass and heath flowers curl around the house and a picnic bench gives you an inspiring lookout point on the loch to enjoy a meal or read a book.

The cottage is situated in a small sweet crofting hamlet. It enjoys a balance of seclusion and company, with other beautiful cottages curling around the cliff edge. From your garden, you can see Dunvegan Head and even the Outer Hebrides when the weather's clear. A 2.5-mile stroll around Loch Pooltiel will bring you to the heart of Glendale, a quintessential Skye community, with shops and a post office, all nestled in a nook of the Hamra River.

From here, you can explore all the sights the Isle of Skye has to offer. Take a drive along the mountain road around the coast. This stretch of sea is home to fascinating habitats and species of wildlife, many of which you won't find anywhere else. Head to Neist Point to enjoy some prime island wildlife watching — you may even spot dolphins, minke whales or basking sharks. There have even been killer whale sightings in recent years. Take a 3-mile trek around Loch Mor over to Neist Point, where you'll find a trail to walk and Neist Point Lighthouse, a perfect place to do some spotting.

Or head further afield to take in some local history of the island. The site of Dunvegan Castle and Gardens is a 10.5-mile drive from the cottage and is a beautiful lochside building.

Fantastic location if you prefer the remote. Views of the sea and the cliffs across from the houses living room, really handy on those colder windier and rainier days. Loved the place. House was comfortable, warm, well equipped and we felt very much at home. 100% recommend

Good size cottage for six in a quiet location, good parking. Allow plenty of time for travel it will take you 30 minutes to travel to the A road. As Lots of traffic heading to the light house in August. Some great walks in and around the cottage. If you just want to sit in the garden some fantastic views. Slightly dated but clean and well equipped.Read more Hide

A fabulous cottage with stunning views. Arrived to a warm cottage, the heating was on, with all the necessaries to make a comfortable time during our stay. The Isle of Skye is breathtaking. We will be going back and hopefully the council will have repaired the roads. There's pot holes everywhere! That's the only negative about our trip

Excellent location for an off grid getaway. 30 minutes of single track road isn't that bad with all the passing places and well worth it.

Beautiful location with stunning views but the house is in desperate need of some tender loving care. Decor is tired. Heating was inadequate and there was absolutely no information about how to use the appliances, the local area or emergency contact numbers. The comments book is obviously not being read as there are still no scissors present despitRead moree this being mentioned for months and months. No essentials such as dishcloths, only 1 tea towel, I could go on and on. Not a home from home. Hide

We had a very good stay at the mandallagh, the rooms and bedding are comfortable and the cottage lacks nothing with a beautiful view. Unfortunately, one of the living room smelled musty and we didn't use it, the smell was too strong. Maybe we were the first of the season in the house.
