1 bedroom Cottage near Tarskavaig, Highlands, Scotland

Situated in picturesque Tarskavaig in South Skye, this charming stone property sleeps two making it the perfect romantic and remote couples’ getaway.

The former croft house retains many of its traditional features, from the wooden beams that run along the ceiling to the exposed stonework around the windows. There’s a striking contrast between old and new, with a fusion of rural and contemporary styles that perfectly suits the location.

This mix of styles is highlighted by the addition of a mezzanine kitchen above the open-plan lounge/diner, creating more space in which to relax and unwind. Prepare an intimate meal for two in the boldly designed kitchen, with seating beside the window to give you a beautiful backdrop for your meal. Alternatively, dine beside the lounge area for a little extra room.

Find a cosy double bedroom on the lower ground floor, providing the perfect spot for a good night’s sleep. Open the large patio doors that look onto the garden as you sip your morning coffee and take in the incredible setting. Here you will also find the bright and contemporary shower room.

The garden makes a great spot for watching the stars in the clear skies or for enjoying some Scottish sun if you are lucky with the weather. Take a seat at the garden furniture with a glass of your favourite local whisky and take in the peace and serenity that surrounds you. Private parking is available on the driveway. From here, a short trail stretching less than half a mile leads down to the shore.
