Hillcroft

Hillcroft is a traditional croft house built circa 1920, which has been extended and modernized over the years. In particular the bedrooms and ensuites have been upgraded to provide very well appointed guest accommodation. There is a comfortable sitting room for guest use, with an open fire to sit round if the evenings are chilly, and a bright sunny dining room for morning breakfast. Outside there is ample parking space, plus covered parking for motorcycles and bicycles. Hillcroft offers stunning views across Loch Snizort beag to the Trotternish hills in the east and glimpses of the spectacular black Cuillin ridge to the south.

The Isle of Skye: On The Map: The Isle of Skye is a large island located off the west coast of Scotland. Skye is accessed via a landbridge (A87 road) from Kyle of Lochalsh on the mainland, or by ferry from Mallaig, reached via the A830 road from Fort William. “Cloud Island” is what the Norse called the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It is fitting. A 50-mile-long banquet of velvet moors, jagged mountains, shimmering lochs and towering sea cliffs produce stunning scenery. If the weather turns, there are plenty of castles, crafting museums, and cozy pubs and restaurants to please anyone. Along with Edinburgh and Loch Ness, Skye is one of the places in Scotland that people enjoy visiting the most. A wild geological past has produced some of Britain’s most dramatic scenery. From rugged Northern Skye to the ice-sculpted peaks of the Cuillins, the island is riveted with many lochs. The traveler is never more than five miles from the ocean. Skye is everything we think of the Highlands to be: Wild, fierce, and mesmerizing. Overnight stays on Skye are at the island's main town - Portree. The location of Bonnie Prince Charlie's final days in Scotland in 1746, Portree today is a bustling port and Skye's cultural hub.
