About this property
Portree 7 miles. This detached 100 year old traditional croft house is set in front of a working croft amongst sheep grazing fields in the crofting village of Gedintailor, seven miles from Portree. The cottage has stunning views over the Narrows of Raasay and towards the Isle of Raasay and is an ideal base for those looking to get away from it all. The cottage has two bedrooms on the first floor, a double and a twin, both of which have sloping ceilings to the sides. The rest of the accommodation is spread across the ground floor and includes a kitchen with a dining area with a multi fuel stove. The sitting room has an open fire and is a lovely cosy spot to curl up and relax in the evenings. Outside, the garden is a sheltered spot to enjoy barbecues or your morning cup of coffee. Why not sit a moment and enjoy the views out to the Scottish mainland? You are just a ten minute walk from the sandy beach at Braes and nearby Portree is the main town on the Isle of Skye. The town is set around a busy harbour and is a popular tourist destination with a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. Boat trips are available to see a different view of the island and pony-trekking is also an option. Portree is also home to the award-winning Aros Centre with a theatre, film showings and concerts. Half of 6 is a fantastic base for exploring the whole island. EPC Rating: Band F
