About this cottage rental

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!

    We spent a wonderful week at the Isle of Skye with our adult sons. The house is clean, spacious and very well equipped. Overall a very good experience. The location is nice and quiet, but be aware that there's no mobile phone connection and also Wifi can be a bit unstable. This was problematic when there was a water outage in all the village for about 12 hours where we had a hard time communicating with the local person in charge. Everything was resolved in the end, but it was a bit stressful.

    Our family stayed 3 nights and spent 2 days exploring Isle of Skye. The location was cozy and close enough to Broadford for groceries, coffee and gas. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach to look for shells and play in the cold surf.

    This was a quiet home, tucked away in a beautiful location on Skye. The home was lovely, filled with artwork that I especially enjoyed. The gardens surrounding the home were beautiful and there were fresh flowers placed throughout the interior. That added a special touch to this lovely home. The owners were attentive to our needs and made sure that we were taken care of. We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely book this property again.

    It is a nice quiet country home, in the midst of sheep, cattle, and beautiful landscapes and people. The house was nice and cozy, the roads were a bit scarry if your not use to one lane with a pull over area every so often.. things to do are all around., it just takes a bit of time weaving around the mountains. I would highly recommend this listing.
