There are few more idyllic hamlets than Glendale in the far north west of this magical island. The pace of life here is calm and friendly and the walks and sweeping views are superb, from the white crofts to the stunning sea views. If you love wildlife then you have a great opportunity to see whales and basking sharks, eagles and otters, as well as many others.

The Old Manse itself is a wonderful building – newly renovated to a very high standard, it provides you with beautiful quality holiday accommodation on one of Scotland's most beloved islands. Brand new, stylish and beautiful furniture is throughout the house. The rooms are spacious and bright with light reflecting cream walls throughout. There are 4 shower/bathrooms so this is a great house for two or more families. The kitchen/dining room stretches the full length of the house making for perfect social mealtimes. The garden around has ample parking and garden areas for you to enjoy the views. On cooler evenings, enjoy the lovely sitting room with its wood burning stove – perfect to relax around after a busy day outdoors and then head for your tempting bed all set out with crisp White Company linen.

This is the perfect self catering holiday house for an Isle of Skye holiday in one of the prettiest parts of the island and only 10 minutes from the famous Three Chimneys restaurant as well as some stunning scenery.

Holiday Protection Scheme

Cottages & Castles Ltd. (acting as agents for property owners) provides a guarantee for tenants who have to cancel their holiday at a cottage.

If it is necessary to cancel your holiday, for any of the reasons A 1-5 below, you may do so at any time up until the close of business on the last working day before your tenancy commences and we will refund your balance. Your deposit is not refundable. If you have made a late booking and paid in full you will receive your payment minus the normal deposit sum (usually 30%).

There is no charge for this holiday protection – it is included in the cost of your holiday. Please note that the protection does not apply to holidays in our properties with codes beginning with P (usually castles, mansions and lodges).

Deposits may be transferred to a different date for a holiday at the same property within 12 months of the original holiday date, subject to availability, but not, however, for a different property. If the new booking is at a higher rate the tenant must pay the extra cost. No refund will be made if the new date is at a lower rate.
