Captain’s Rest - Self-catering cottage in Isle of Skye
Roag, Dunvegan, IV55 8ZA, Isle of Skye
Scotland,
Reino Unido
With the touch of a button, roll up the blinds and bring the outdoors in. What a way to wake each day! The views are amazing and ever-changing...across the loch to the Cuillin Hills, and Rum and Canna on a cloudless day.
The house, a modern Skye bungalow, was finished in 2020 and furnished in island colours. After a day hiking or wild swimming, you return to this: gliding glass doors and heated floors, divine beds and walk-in showers, Bose speakers and smart TVs, and the finest kit in the kitchen. Cosy up to the wood-burner on a wild night, wallow in the hot tub on a fine one.
Visit the great fortress of Dunvegan, a ten-minute drive, and book lunch at the Old School Restaurant (special in every way). Pick up seafood in Portree, 20 miles - tiny capital of Skye - and treat yourself to tea or fabulous cocktails at the Cuillin Hills Hotel. This island is foodie heaven.

Local points of interest from Vivienne & Neil Montgomery:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Vivienne & Neil Montgomery:
- Captain’s Rest is ideally located on the island to visit the many beautiful areas Skye has to offer. Dunvegan Castle, the seat of the MacLeod clan, is in the village. Explore the history it has to offer or saunter around their magnificent gardens.
- There are numerous walks in the area and further afield, too many to mention and for all abilities. We are a short distance from Neist Point, Coral Beach and for the more adventurous a hike up MacLeod’s Tables.
- A half hour drive takes you to Portree, the main town, where you will find shops, restaurants and do pop into Skyeskyns for some gorgeous items or afternoon tea on the law, if weather permit, at the Cuillin Hills Hotel overlooking the bay.
- You no doubt travel a considerable distance to get to us, so when you arrive, out your feet up, savour the view and enjoy the complimentary light supper awaiting you, normally a selection of Scottish cheeses, quiche etc. Ours is no ordinary welcome pack!
- The island is a foodie’s paradise with so much to choose from and when you reserve the cottage, recommendations are listed in our digital welcome pack which will be emailed to you in plenty time to make reservations.
- A special occasion? Please do let us know. We like our guests to have the best experience! Need flowers, birthday cake, getting married and need advice, just ask and we can put you in touch with some of the best on the island.
