The sleek shower room offers modern convenience, while the open-plan kitchen and living area are well-equipped for home cooking, relaxing, or curling up with a good book whilst listening to the crackle of the wood burner. Underfloor heating runs throughout the cottage, ensuring comfort in all seasons, and large windows frame open views of the crofting landscape and distant hills.
The nearby village of Dunvegan is very welcoming and has several eateries to suit all. You can sit and watch the seals in the water. Just a short drive away, Dunvegan Castle, the ancestral seat of the Clan MacLeod, offers a fascinating day out with its historic interiors and lush gardens. Nature lovers can walk the nearby Harlosh Peninsula, with panoramic views across Loch Bracadale and opportunities to spot sea eagles, otters, and seals. For a longer hike, the famed Neist Point Lighthouse offers dramatic cliffside views, Golden Eagle spotting and unforgettable sunsets. The Coral Beach, with its white sand and clear waters, is a local gem perfect for a leisurely afternoon.
Whether you’re drawn by Skye’s wild beauty or the serenity of a cosy night in, Taigh Mullach Dearg offers a welcoming base for your island escape, a perfect combination of tradition, comfort, and the untamed magic of Skye. Beach 3 miles.

The owner Stuart was friendly and welcoming and lives next door so easy to get hold of if needed. The house was perfect for 2, well equipped, comfortable and warm and within easy reach of lots of walks and attractions. The views from all sides were wonderful, even rabbits came out at dusk. Dunvegan is 10 minutes away and very convenient for food and drink, especially recommend "The Dunvegan" for fixed menu. The wifi in the cottage is very good and it is possible to use wifi calling, if needed. Will definitely be back.

My wife and I stayed 4 nights and were completely overwhelmed at how awesome this Taigh is. Excellent design, wonderful equipment, and very comfortable. Hosts are wonderful folks. It was central to our stay, pretty much anywhere you want or need togo is an hour. We'd highly recommend staying here while you're on Skye.
