About this cottage rental
Loch Vatten cottage is quiet, even for Skye, with fantastic views over the Loch and mountains. Few cottages are this near to the water. There are fabulous walks on your doorstep to prehistoric remains (Vatten cairns and nearby Dunbeag Broch are two of Skye's most important sites) and spectacular viewpoints and a secret white sand beach.
You can watch seals basking on the rocks from the kitchen window and even enjoy occasional visits from otters.
The cottage is filled with things we enjoy like nice Cath Kidston crockery, OKA furniture, Crucial Trading rugs, Moroccan cushions/throws, patchwork quilts and original artwork from all over the UK. We hope you like our homely decor and that it makes you feel at home.
Wi fi, TV.
Outside is a third of an acre of enclosed garden overlooking the Loch.
Beaches are a couple of minutes walk away.
There are Adirondack chairs and a picnic table to enjoy al fresco meals.
All linen, towels, soaps and a welcome pack of groceries are provided.
Heating and solid fuel included.
The cottage is in an exceptionally quiet position, down a private track off the very quiet loop road, yet only 4 miles from the shops, pubs and cafes of Dunvegan and 25 minutes from Portree.
Please note, the cottage is looked after by our housekeeper, Carol. We kindly request that you leave the cottage clean and tidy.
Please make sure you leave the cottage as you found it, with particular regard to the oven/grill. Thank you.
We are a gay friendly establishment.
REALLY SORRY BUT WE REALLY DON'T TAKE PETS - so please don't ask.

My Husband and I had a wonderful stay at this cottage. We had a lovely warm welcome to the cottage as the lamps were lit, the cottage was warm and cosy with a lovely hamper of goodies ready as we arrived after a very long journey. Just what we needed. The cottage is beautifully decorated, has everything you need. A great base to explore the beautiful island of Skye. With lovely views over Loch Vatten. We saw deer and owls from the garden. The cottage is quite central on the island so we were able to explore the whole island during our visit, north and south. We loved it and will definitely be back.

Vatten cottage is in a great location. Spectular view of the loch from both the cottage and the garden. Its a really convenient location to explore Dunvegan and north west Skye.
Some of the decor in the cottage is a little dated, but it has a cosy cottage feel with all the equipment you could want.
I would recommend this cottage.
