Knockenhooley Cottage

A little piece of Highland magic on the Isle of Skye 🏔️🌊

Welcome to Knockenhooley Cottage, a beautifully restored late-1800s traditional stone croft cottage where authentic Highland character meets luxurious modern comfort.

Lovingly furnished with an exceptional attention to detail, the cottage blends original features and timeless Scottish style with sumptuous interiors. From the original iron bedroom door locks brought back to life to the Scottish thistle stair rods, every detail has been carefully chosen to celebrate the cottage’s heritage.

Relax in the beautifully styled living room, where rich leather and traditional tweed create a warm, elegant and inviting space after a day exploring the spectacular Isle of Skye.

With four beautifully appointed bedrooms — two king-size and two doubles — ornate beds, luxurious furnishings and carefully considered colour schemes provide a peaceful sanctuary in which to unwind.

Outside, the large enclosed garden offers magnificent panoramic views across Broadford Bay, the Inner Sound and the mountains and islands beyond. With a private driveway and plentiful parking, there’s plenty of space to relax and enjoy the ever-changing beauty of Skye.

Although wonderfully peaceful and rural, Knockenhooley Cottage is far from isolated. Restaurants, a supermarket and petrol station are all within approximately a mile, while the beach is just a short drive away.

Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation or simply somewhere truly special to escape to, Knockenhooley Cottage is the perfect base from which to experience the magic of Skye.

Come for the landscapes. Stay for the magic.

Knockenhooley Cottage — where the magic begins and ends, in a land like no other. 💙

The owners are the friendliest, most helpful owners we've rented from. Their home is gorgeous, was exactly what we expected, and they were communicative throughout our stay. I cannot recommend this property enough! I am so grateful we stumbled upon this listing and hope we get an opportunity to stay at one of their properties again.

Our family had such a wonderful stay at Knockenhooley Cottage. From the moment we arrived, Jason and Liz made us feel incredibly welcome. They are genuinely kind, friendly hosts who clearly care about their guests' experience. They took the time to share recommendations on places to visit, hikes to explore, and local sights, which helped make our trip even more memorable. One of the first things that greeted us was a lovely welcome cookie tin for our family—a thoughtful touch that immediately made the cottage feel like home. Throughout our stay, it was those little details that really stood out. The cottage was cozy, comfortable, and full of character. After long days spent hiking and exploring the beautiful surrounding area, it was the perfect place to come back to and relax. Having a washer and dryer available was a huge bonus and made a big difference during our trip, especially after hikes and rainy days outdoors. The location was ideal. There is a beautiful beach nearby and a small town just a short drive away where we could easily pick up groceries, fuel, and any essentials we needed. It felt wonderfully peaceful and secluded while still being convenient to everything we needed. What we appreciated most was how much the cottage felt like a home rather than just a place to stay. Jason and Liz have created a special place, and their hospitality truly made our trip. We left with great memories and would absolutely stay here again.
