An Enchanting Island
There is so much to do here. You can climb in the Cuillins, go whale spotting, visit the otter hides, picnic on the machair, visit historic Dunvegan Castle or Flora Macdonald's home at Flodigarry or enjoy a meal at one of the acclaimed eating establishments.

Access to the island is via the A87 over the Skye Bridge (the bridge replaced the ferry from Kyle of Lochalsh to Kyleakin, the former home of the author Gavin Maxwell, where the Gavin Maxwell Longroom Museum and the Bright Water Visitor Centre are situated). There is also a car ferry crossing from Glenelg to Kylerhea where there is an otter hide.
There are ferries from Mallaig to Armadale in south-eastern Skye where there is the excellent Armadale Castle Gardens and the Museum of the Isles (set within the partly ruined Armadale Castle, former seat of the MacDonalds of Sleat) which is most informative about the clans and the Clearances.
The views of the mountains between Broadford on the east coast and Elgol on the west coast are magnificent and there are boat trips from Elgol to the remote Loch na Cuilce to view the seals, otters and porpoises. To the west is the Talisker Distillery near Carbost where there is a wonderful sandy bay.

Lots to see and do
Portree is the main settlement on Skye - its attractions include the Aros Experience which includes CCTV coverage of nesting eagles, a theatre and cinema, an art centre and wildlife boat trips and the Isle of Skye Highland Games are held in the town in August.
The Trotternish Peninsula north of Portree has magnificent scenery, including various geological features such as the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock, Quiraing and the Needle.
Visitors are also attracted to Kilmuir for the Skye Museum of Island Life and Macurdie's Exhibition. The area also provides opportunities for windsurfing, archery and kayaking.

Their service is first class, friendly and efficient. I could speak to someone. The cottage is spotless, well appointed and attractive. A follow up phone call by them checks that all has gone well. | |

No complaints, very good. The cottage had everything we could possibly need. It was clean and tidy. Even had lovely views from the verandah. Lovely and quiet. Would we come back again, definitely. | |

Generally was a nice cottage, location and booking but soured by post stay communication. We were charged for a missing bowl which we didn't know anything about and extra cleaning for forgetting a bag of nappies which we should have taken but couldn't have taken longer than 2 mins to take out especially as we'd done an extra big clean up due to having a baby before we left. Low cap on energy seems tight. Unique Cottages helped with communication but seemed blameful which soured the whole experience | |

We loved the Chalet it was a wee home from home. Comfortable bed and great shower. So peaceful and close to the beach and lots of great walks for our dog who loved that huge beach. Highly recommended and very relaxing we will be back. | |

There are a good range of properties to choose from and they are usually of high quality. Booking was easy and efficient. I was more aware of the booking fee on this occasion however- £45 for a week seemed high. | |

They were quick to respond to my booking and explained clearly when the balance would need to be paid by. |
