Waterfall View provides the ideal retreat for relaxing and watching the ever changing vistas and is a super base for touring this mystical and historic island. Take a visit to Dunvegan Castle (the oldest inhabited castle in Scotland and seat of the Clan MacLeod) and a boat trip to see the seals basking on the rocks in Loch Dunvegan or a trip to Neist Point - one of Skye's best attractions.

The island boasts some wonderful restaurants, the world famous 'Three Chimneys' just a short drive from the cottage.

If you enjoy swimming outdoors then try Glenbrittle’s magical Faerie Pools, or try kayaking, sailing, fishing or scuba diving in the crystal clear water around Skye's coastline.

Skye is the most important centre for Gaelic culture outside of the Western Isles, and almost half the population speak Gaelic fluently; the Gaelic College on Sleat (Skye's most southern tip) is the most important in Scotland. For a sample of the local culture, visitors to the island during mid July can experience the two-week long Skye and Lochalsh Festival - the Feis an Eilean. One of the most popular sights on Skye is the Cuillin ridge, made up of jagged snow-topped peaks, which can be seen from miles around, and are suitable for very experienced walkers. The other main attraction on the island is the unusual rock formations of the Trotternish Peninsula, where the pillars and pinnacles are at their most dramatic in the Quiraing above Staffin Bay, on the east coast. Whilst on the island, the capital Portree is worth a visit, with its picturesque fishing harbour encircled with restaurants and shops.

Lovely cottage with dramatic coastal views
A wonderful base for adventures on Skye. The cottage is cosy, well equipped and spacious. The location is extraordinary, with stunning views in clear weather over the Loch and as far is the Islands of North and South Uist. The road from Dunvegan to Milovaig is largely single track but with plenty of passing places, so prepare to be patient with other road users (including woolly quadrupeds) for the last few miles. Local amenities include the excellent Lephin Cafe in Glendale as well as the Glendale General Store, which looks tiny but is a bit like the Tardis inside and seems to have almost everything. The Old School Restaurant and the Dunvegan (both in Dunvegan) are also very good. This was our first time on Skye. We would absolutely recommend this property for a family stay.

Beautiful views but well away from tourist sites so Lots of driving to see
Mostly well equipped but some items poor e.g. Broken dish in cabinet; few smaller sizes of casserole dish. Some items were dirty and had to be washed before use. Furniture in conservatory was very uncomfortable and thus uninviting although a lovely room. For the cost of the accommodation we would expect much better comfort and a dishwasher in the kitchen. Bed in downstairs bedroom was so low it was unsuitable for elderly relative - this was a key reason for choosing the property so really disappointing for us. Lovely fresh linen and beds generally were comfortable enough. Would have been nice to have a room big enough for all of us to fit in evening to socialise ... but realise shape of house and updating has just not allowed this. Best to improve the conservatory by putting in a better set of bigger furniture to allow this I think.

Isle of Skye - land of dreams
The point of our travelling to the Isle was to get away from the madding crowd, to spend time with family, walk in the fresh air and recharge our batteries. Skye did this and so much more. Changing weather, stunning rainbows and sunsets. The amazing light changes the scenes before you – new scenes open up in the blink of an eye. Really magical and its sheer beauty catches your breath. We know it is magical as Fairies live in Fairy Glen and bathe in the Fairy Falls while Giants walk Old Man of Storr and look out over the Quiraing. Kilt Falls pours out like a huge kettle spout while the Neist Point Lighthouse draws you to the end of the island. We will be coming back again in search of the Northern Lights and to explore caves, caverns and more beaches and hopefully staying in Waterfall View Cottage – a wonderful, warm and welcoming home from home that met our every need. Large family kitchen to eat in, good washing facilities for those masses of wet clothes, excellent heating to keep chill winds at bay and space for a bigger group. Do come equipped with correct clothing and footwear as well as most of the food you need so that you can get out and enjoy what the island has to offer from nature to local weavers, potteries, artists and castles rather than hunting for food stores. Always book well ahead for The Three Chimneys – a delicious treat.

Very comfortable house in a very attractive area
Waterfall View is a wonderful house on a very beautiful part of Skye. We found the house to be clean and very comfortable and well equipped. Spotting the red deer on our daily walks to the small harbour was a highlight for the children. Regular stunning sunsets over the Outer Hebrides added to the feeling of being somewhere very special. Wherever you stay on Skye there will be long drives to visit the points of interest (although Neist Point for the best sunset view ever is really very close). That is something we had not anticipated but which didn't spoil our time at all as the roads were really good and the views constantly amazing however long the journey. Shops are few and far between but the Post Office at Glendale just ten minutes drive away is like a Tardis inside and sells everything - it's amazing! I would recommend this house to a large family group as it is plenty big enough with a large kitchen, two comfortable lounges and a conservatory which gets toastie in the sunshine! The bedrooms are all good sizes too. Thanks for a lovely stay.

About the host

Hosted by Peter & Wendy

Host profile image
Having holidayed on Skye and the West coast of Scotland over the years, we decided to build a home on Skye, for ourselves and others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

The plot enjoys magnificent sea or rural views. It is quietly located, set in natural croft land with magnificent views of Loch Pooltiel, Dunvegan Head and on a clear day the Outer Hebridean Islands.

What makes this property unique

With no light pollution, at night, there are amazing starry skies.

It is possible to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).

Highland cattle and sheep graze here in front of the cottage and there is plenty of wildlife to be seen.

The cottage is in an ideal location to take advantage of many lovely walks.
