About this property

The Cúil at Thistles on Skye

‘The Cuil’ is a newly built, contemporary, luxurious one bedroom studio apartment.

‘Cuil’ in Scots Gaelic means nook, nest or corner. We thought this was an apt name for this space as we have created a cosy nest, just for two on the corner of our croft.

Inside, the open plan studio comprises one king-size bed, a seating / dining space, a compact kitchen with fridge, microwave and two burner induction hob and a luxurious shower room with mains pressure rain shower and Fired Earth limestone floor. The Cuil also benefits from an elevated private decking area with breathtaking views. The large sliding patio doors flood the studio with light and the views can be enjoyed from the comfort of the king-size bed.

The bedding comprises 100% cotton sheets and waffle duvet cover. We also supply waffle robes and slippers, hairdryer freesat smart TV, USB and Type C charging points, free WIFI and a portable Bose Bluetooth Speaker.

On the decking, there are a pair of love seats to enjoy a morning coffee or enjoy the last of the evening light with a sundowner. Blankets are provided for external use on the decking to keep you cosy.

We have a selection of walking books and information about visitor attractions around the Isle of Skye which you are free to enjoy during your stay.

Our luxurious properties comprise a one-bedroom cottage and a newly built studio apartment.

They are designed for couples looking for an indulgent romantic break. Set in the stunning coastal village of Camuscross, conveniently located half way between the Mallaig to Armadale ferry and the Skye Bridge. The village has a quaint pub and restaurant and only 5 minutes away by car is the famous Kinloch Lodge for that special holiday meal. The town of Broadford is only 10 minutes away and has all the amenities that you would need during your stay.

Our Croft cottage has a mixture of contemporary and antique furniture, one king-size bed and bespoke fabrics and finishes. The cottage boasts a fully equipped ‘Ashley Ann’ luxury fitted kitchen made here in Scotland, underfloor heating, ‘Fired Earth’ limestone flooring throughout the ground floor, an induction hob, double electric oven, dishwasher, microwave and wood burning stove.

The Croft and The Cúil are two individual luxury spaces on the beautiful Sleat peninsula of Skye overlooking The Sound of Sleat. Sleat is known as ‘The Garden of Skye’. The views from both properties are breath-taking.
