#### Perfect place to chill out for a week and absorb the amazing landscape of Skye.
Perfect place to chill out for a week and absorb the amazing landscape of Skye. Compact but very well appointed. We love the location but others might find it a bit secluded from amenities such as restaurants and shops.
