RIDGE END COTTAGE, family friendly, with open fire in Conista
Able to sleep up to six people, this three bedroom property is situated in the north of Skye's Trotternish Peninsula of Skye.
Set in the isolated village of Conista, this three bedroom property offers spectacular views over tranquil crofts to the sea and distant mountains beyond. The traditional, whitewashed cottage contains a tasteful modern interior, with a cathedral-style ceiling and a mezzanine bedroom. The high standard of craftsmanship, cosy furnishings and frequent use of wood throughout give a warm, welcoming atmosphere to this fashionable property. There is also a small, enclosed garden with furniture - a wonderful place to enjoy a meal overlooking the hills and sea. Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping Bond of £200.

Fuel, power & starter pack for woodburner inc. in rent. Bed linen & towels inc. in rent. Cot, stairgate & highchair on request. Off road parking for 3 cars. Small, enclosed garden with furniture.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping Bond of £200. Accepting short breaks from 6th December 2025 only until 15th March 2026 ONLY. Between April and December 2026, property has a 7 night minimum stay. Please note: This property will only accept one booking per week during the months April-October Inclusive.
Region: From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain's best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.
Town: Situated on the Trotternish Peninsula in the north of Skye is the scattered village of Conista - formed from a few, traditionally whitewashed cottages. Ten miles from the village of Uig, and six from Staffin, Conista is well served by local amenities. It also boasts close proximity to Duntulm, named after a steep rocky headland where the ruins of Duntulm Castle can be seen. The entire island offers excellent walking routes, as does the nearby mainland - accessible by both road bridge and ferry - whilst the breathtaking scenery makes a wonderful backdrop for cycling trips, fishing and birdwatching, especially as many seabirds use the steep cliffs during the early summer, including the rare Fulmar.
