The cottage is situated on its own (the nearest house is about a quarter mile away) about half a mile above Carbost village, well-known for the Talisker Distillery. There's also a shop, a post office and The Old Inn in the village is known for its very tasty bar meals. You pass The Oyster Shed on the way! The nearest shopping centre is Portree, about 18 miles away. Facilities WiFi; Washer/Drier; Drying room; Freezer; Linen provided; Wood-burning stove; Bath & Shower; Pets with permission. The sitting room (actually one half of a large kitchen/sitting room) has a wood burning stove (as well as electric heaters and a small storage radiator) and comfortable sofas and chairs providing a cosy place for passing those wet or midgey Skye evenings! There is a selection of books and games as well as playing cards and jigsaw puzzles. There is no television but there is free WIFI which usually works very well and a radio/CD player.
