About this property

Beautiful Skye Crofter's Cottage sleeps six close to mountains, sea and beach

Come and relax in a traditional detached crofter's cottage in the picturesque village of Torrin on the Isle of Skye. A fabulous base from which you can easily enjoy all the wonders of Skye.

Torrin is a beautiful village on the shores of Loch Slapin, close to a gorgeous secluded beach and nestled between the Red Cuillin hills and the mighty Bla Bhienn (pronounced Blaven, it means blue mountain). Bla Bhienn is our favourite mountain and arguably the finest Munro in Scotland!
Perfect for exploring, relaxing, walking, climbing, cycling, photographers and geologists!

The cottages been in our family for over 150 years. In 2017 we've completed a full upgrade of the whole cottage. It's wonderfully homely and comfortable and very very peaceful.

As a traditional cottage, the stairs are rather steep and narrow so care should be taken at all times.

Large cultivated mature garden with further grounds surrounding the house.

Our cottage is situated up a track off the main road. There's free parking with room for two cars in the drive on our property.

The cottage is in the village of Torrin, 7 miles from Broadford which is a lovely town with a beautiful bay and views to the mainland. It has a good variety of shops, including an artisan bakery, craft shops and Skye candles plus a really excellent Co-Op supermarket, 24 hour garage and chemist. There is a doctor, hospital, dentist, church also. There are restaurants, cafes, fish and chip shop and hotel bars. And there are two ATM cash machines, a Post Office and a mobile bank.

Gem off the beaten trail
Beautiful scottish farm house feel with amazing scenery. The boys hiked the hill behind the property and got amazing pictures of the surrounding area. Well set up with thoughtful supplies. Was chilly so we enjoyed the availability of the hot water bottles to put in the beds at night. So nice to have a proper scottish experience away from the tourist traffic.

Very Homey Cottage with Beautiful Garden
The cottage is very welcoming with plenty of space for 4 people. Nice views and walks around when the sun is out. Cozy and comfortable when the weather is not so nice. Very enjoyable stay!

Perfect for enjoying and exploring the Isle of Skye
This house feels like home! It is comfortable and cozy and we had a great time there. There are great walks right around the house, and some of the most spectacular places are only a (fairly) short drive away (Elgol!). This is my favourite holiday cottage ever - it was everything I love about Britain!

Hi I'm Pete and I live in Edinburgh with my wife Cary.
We love the outdoor life - walking, cycling, exploring new places. Skye is the perfect place to do all of these!
I've been coming to Torrin since I was a wee boy as this was my aunt's house. As adults we've come to Torrin on holiday every year for the past 35 years and we feel it is our spiritual home.
We hope you enjoy the cottage as much as we do. Enjoy!
