The Cedars

“The Cedars” 28 Portnalong on the Isle of Skye, is a characterful croft cottage offering comfortable accommodation for 1 - 4. Accessed by a crofters track (good for all cars), across two fields from the end of the village road, the cottage is surrounded by pasture fields and a wild and deserted headland. Good village amenities, beaches, walks and wildlife are all close at hand. Come and let nature and Skye’s spectacular weather and scenery dissolve all your cares and recharge your batteries.

Set mid-way up Skye’s west coast, our 1920’s whitewashed croft cottage is uniquely situated, the last cottage out onto the Ardtreck peninsular. It is set in fields, tucked under a granite bluff splashed with purple heather, and catches glimpse views of the sea just a five minute walk down through the long grass to our nearest rocky cove. Spot seals while fishing and bring back some drift wood for the living room fire.

The original cosy cottage retains its period features in the two double bedrooms and living room, and the extension includes a comfortable bathroom and well equipped kitchen. Here you are really living in nature, whether relaxing in the cottage or out and about. The 15 minute walk to the lighthouse on the tip of the penninsular is a spectacular and invigorating treat in wild weather and calm sunshine alike. Wildlife seen from the garden includes a short-eared owl, peregrine falcon and buzzards, with sea eagles, harbour porpoise, seals, and a Minke Whale spotted in neighbouring loch Harport.

Enjoy feeling away from it all without being too remote, with a choice of two pubs and a village shop offering an excellent range of food, drink, supplies and some of the best live music on the west coast, even Talisker distillery, all within a ten minute drive. Many beautiful walks, hillside, coastal, beaches and the Cuillin are all at your doorstep.

Weekly lets are Saturday to Saturday, and the weekly rates for 2010 are January & February £225, March £250, April & May £300, June £325, July & August £375, September £325, October £300, November £250, and December £225, and Christmas and New Year weeks are £375 each..
