About this property

Artistic, tranquil cottage. Spectacular loch and mountain views. Sleeps 4

Loch Vatten cottage is quiet, even for Skye, with fantastic views over the Loch and mountains. Few cottages are this near to the water. There are fabulous walks on your doorstep to prehistoric remains (Vatten cairns and nearby Dunbeag Broch are two of Skye's most important sites) and spectacular viewpoints and a secret white sand beach.

You can watch seals basking on the rocks from the kitchen window and even enjoy occasional visits from otters.

The cottage is filled with things we enjoy like nice Cath Kidston crockery, OKA furniture, Crucial Trading rugs, Moroccan cushions/throws, patchwork quilts and original artwork from all over the UK. We hope you like our homely decor and that it makes you feel at home.

Wi fi, TV.

Outside is a third of an acre of enclosed garden overlooking the Loch.

Beaches are a couple of minutes walk away.

There are Adirondack chairs and a picnic table to enjoy al fresco meals.

All linen, towels, liquid soaps, cleaning materials, washing powder and tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits, milk and kindling are provided.

Heating and solid fuel included.

The cottage is in an exceptionally quiet position, down a private track off the very quiet loop road, yet only 4 miles from the shops, pubs and cafes of Dunvegan and 25 minutes from Portree.

Please note, the cottage is looked after by our housekeeper, Kersty. We kindly request that you leave the cottage clean and tidy.

Please make sure you leave the cottage as you found it, with particular regard to the oven/grill. Thank you.

We are a gay friendly establishment.

REALLY SORRY BUT WE REALLY DON'T TAKE PETS - so please don't ask.

About the host

We are a Scottish family who love Skye!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Vatten Cottage because of its especially peaceful location. We could simply open the doors and let the boys play outside, and walk off in any direction to get a wonderful view of the Cuillins or MacLeods tables. At night there are often fantastic clear views of the Milky Way.

We are all into history and the island is full of traces of a fascinating past. In particular there are many prehistoric remains within easy reach.

What makes this property unique

Location overlooking the water. Down a long track off the road. Cosy cottage with open fire. Original artwork. Spectacular views. Exceptionally peaceful.
