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.

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.

A lovely, comfortable cottage, surrounded by amazing scenery

This gorgeous cottage is a good size for a family and well equipped. It's also really comfortable and cosy. The living room is a lovely space to relax in the evenings after exploring the island. The kitchen has everything you need and the bedrooms are spacious and include plenty of storage space. The location is fantastic for a range of local places of interest and a good base for exploring more widely on Skye. We loved the marble pools and Amy's cafe and enjoyed evening walks to the beach at least as much as our trips further afield. Our only regret is that we didn't have enough time to do everything we would have wanted to!

Great Cottage

We really enjoyed our holiday in this fabulous cosy and tranquil cottage .It was a great base for our many mountain and coastal walks on Skye . Lovely to come back to after a long day exploring in all weathers! As it was hard to book nearby restaurants in Broadford (really busy) we appreciated the well equipped kitchen. Definitely recommend.

Escape from work!

Really enjoyable break in Torrin which is a quiet hamlet 7 miles along a single track road between Broadford and Elgol. The house is halfway along a steep road opposite the mighty Blà Bheinn and Loch Slapin. The mobile phone reception and WiFi signal are not great but this was an attraction for us. The house has everything you need and the weather was kind so we had plenty of outdoor activities to occupy our teenagers. There is a lovely cafe nearby and you can get any shopping and fuel in Broadford. The petrol station is cheaper in Broadford than on the mainland.

Skye cottage

Old cottage renovated to high standard. Comfortable and cossy and very well appointed. Nice small garden. The cottage is within walking distance to a small beach and Loch Slapin and beautiful mountains. 7 miles from shops (Broadford) but close to tea shop. Communication with owner was easy and pre-stay package was very informative.

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!
