The Old Mill, Staffin

Isle of Skye. Sleeps up to 4

A charming, detached converted old mill in a delightful riverside location situated in Staffin, a friendly crofting community on the magical Isle of Skye. This cottage would have been a busy place many years ago and an exposed stone wall in the kitchen and other character features are a pleasant reminder of its past history. This bright and spacious cottage is ideal for a family, group of friends, or a couple who will enjoy exploring the fabulous Isle of Skye and all that it has to offer. There are two lovely bedrooms on the first floor with both benefiting from having en-suite shower rooms, as well as big windows, which allow full appreciation of the stunning mountain views. The ground floor has a most comfortable sitting room with a cosy woodburning stove and doors leading out to the rear garden, plus you can enjoy meals together at the end of a busy day in the well-equipped kitchen/diner. At the rear is a private garden where guests can soak up the lovely open views and perhaps enjoy a morning coffee whilst listening to the sound of the river passing by. The village of Staffin has good local facilities, plus just a short walk away is the Columba Community Centre and Café, where you can enjoy some lovely home baking. Also, close by is Staffin Beach, perfect for paddling and a picnic. Skye itself is a big island with lots to see and do and the capital town Portree, with its pretty harbour, is just 17 miles south. For walkers the Quiraing mountain range is on the doorstep and offers spectacular walks with guaranteed sightings of rare birds and wildlife, and you might even see eagles overhead! The beautiful island of Skye will not disappoint and this fabulous cottage will ensure a wonderful holiday for all.
