The Crofter’s House - Self-catering in Isle of Skye
6 Camustianavaig, Portree, IV51 9LQ, Isle of Skye
Scotland,
Reino Unido
A quiet bay, soft green hills, big skies, a single-track road… The views from this whitewashed 19th-century crofter’s cottage are as peaceful and calm as it gets. But that doesn’t mean it’s back-to-basics. Although traditional on the outside, inside the cottage is stylishly cool with a Scandi-design touch. White tongue-and-groove panelled walls and open-raftered ceilings create luminous, airy spaces. Step straight into a small but perfectly formed, bright and contemporary kitchen. Move up two steps into a wood-floored living space carefully set with Danish-style furniture, wood and peat-burning stove and designer lighting. Limited edition prints and shots of colour add warmth; the deepset window adds cosiness. The bedroom is beautifully uncluttered with soft grey colours and simple furnishings; the pretty bathroom crisp and shiny. There’s a useful outhouse (with washer and drier) for bike storage and clothes drying; this is Skye, remember. Come here to walk, cycle, take photos, wildlife-spot - there’s a small front garden, terrace and a meadow. Or explore Portree, 5 miles. Peace and tranquillity guaranteed.

Sarah Chesworth:
- An original 1830's crofter's cottage updated for modern living. Above Camustianavaig Bay, at the foot of Ben Tianavaig, the house enjoys a rural location, yet is only five miles from Portree. The house is small and stylish, perfect for a hideaway for two.
- The Crofter's House is the perfect size for a Highland retreat for two and has recently been completely renovated with minimal styling and calm spaces.
- The living room has a wood/peat-burning stove, small sofa, table and chairs.
- No TV, but WiFi for streaming on your own devices
- Camustianavaig is quiet with a rural feel. The house is a two minute walk from the bay and wildlife includes seals, sea eagles, otters, basking sharks, dolphins - and local sheep. Restaurants, pubs and shops are five miles away in Portree.
- There is a bus from Camustianavaig to Portree in the morning, and one that returns in the evening. Otherwise, you'll need a car or bike - there is room to park a car in the garden and shelter for two bikes in the shed.
