Come visit and stay at Shorefield Cottage on the mystical Isle of Skye. This stunning, modern, detached, well-equipped, luxury self catering cottage is set in an idyllic location overlooking beautiful Loch Harport, with breathtaking views of the nearby Cuillins and the MacLeod Tables.
Situated within the tranquil and picturesque crofting village of Portnalong, you are a 10-minute drive from the nearby Talisker Distillery, and there are many beautiful walks, several secluded beaches and island wildlife on your doorstep.
The cottage is situated next to a traditional croft, which has been worked by three generations of the Morrison family in the last 50 years. It is one of the last traditional ’working crofts’ in the village. Portnalong is a ribbon village which gives you a feeling of being away from it all without being too remote. There are good village amenities nearby, with a choice of two pubs which both serve food and provide regular live entertainment and highland hospitality. The well-stocked village shop, post office, and local medical practice are located in the neighbouring village of Carbost, which is about a 5-minute drive, and where you will also find the world-famous Talisker Distillery. There are guided tours of the distillery, continuously throughout the day, including Saturday and Sunday. There is also an art gallery and craft shops located in the village.
Lots of wildlife can be seen in the area, include white-tailed sea eagles which nest nearby and can often be seen hunting over the hills and lochs. Boat trips allow you to see the island from the outside in, visit the Fairy Pools which are a short drive, or for those more energetic, a swift 8-mile walk. Further into the island, you have a lot more to see and visit from the Quirang, the Old Man of Storr, Dunvegan Castle, the Fairy Glen and plenty more! Shorefield Cottage is a very friendly cottage for you and your family and friends to enjoy at any time of the year.
