The Hebrides / Skye / Isle of Skye region
Several islands lie off the Scottish coast, each with their own character and heritage, however the Isle of Skye is probably the best known and most visited. As the largest of the Inner Hebrides, Skye’s turbulent geological past has bequeathed it a stunning coastline. Experienced walkers are drawn to the Black Cuillin Mountains, whilst those less experienced have an array of lower level coastal walks from which to choose or alternatively, visitors can take some time to visit Skye’s capital, the charming harbour town of Portree.
The Portree / Dunvegan area
Set in the north-west of the Isle of Skye, the village of Dunvegan blends a mixture of traditional stone and modern houses as well as a wide selection of shops and hotels. The village is home to the Clan Macleod and just a mile from the village is Dunvegan Castle. The Macleod family have occupied the building since the 13th Century and apparently had dealings with the ‘wee folk’ at the Fairy Bridge. The Cuillin Mountains are also in the near vicinity and are full of fantastic rock forms and pinnacles, making them a favourite amongst climbers the world over. The island is full of other attractions, such as the Aros Centre which hosts a programme of concerts, theatre and cinema and the town of Portree, set around a natural harbour, and boasting an excellent range of shops, hotels and restaurants.

Guestbook for 2011 - Hillside
The warm welcome on arrival set the scene for an excellent holiday. The cottage was of a high standard so much so that we've already booked for 2012!

,The cottage was so comfortable it allowed us to stay indoors when we had bad weather. Close to excellent walks, artisan studios and set in a relatively quiet area. Easy walk into the village with excellent restaurants and other services.

,The cottage was warm and cosy, with very efficient heating. The owners were friendly and helpful.

,The owners were lovely, very friendly and helpful. They live in the property next door but did not intrude on our holiday time. The property is well situated in the North West of Skye not far from Dunvegan Castle and about 20-25 minute drive to all major towns.
A trip to Neists Point is a must.
