Luxury retreat on the romantic Isle of Skye. Curlew Cottage sits in rolling farmland overlooking Loch Snizort with a view of the Harris Hills.
Curlew Cottage Description
Opening in the 2017 season, Curlew Cottage- currently under construction- will be a purpose built cosy retreat ideal for couples who want to get away from it all for a break on the Isle of Skye.
Situated a short walk from the shores of Loch Greshornish, on the outskirts of the little village of Edinbane, Curlew Cottage enjoys a tranquil setting amidst rolling farmland with a view of the Loch and the hills of the Outer Hebrides beyond.
Edinbane lies on the Portree-Dunvegan road making this an ideal location for exploring the whole island. The village itself has two pubs with restaurants and bars; the Edinbane Inn has regular traditional music sessions and local beer on tap. Also in the village is the famous Edinbane Pottery, Sam Peare textiles, and local eggs can be bought at the farm gate.
Within a short walk of the cottage you can enjoy the shoreside or stroll up the back of the croft into the hills for a stunning view of Loch Snizort. Just five minutes away by car you will find the Greshornish peninsula which has a number of outstanding walks and resident eagles, plus a choice of two restaurants.
Dunvegan, with a range of shops, places to eat, and the world famous castle with stunning gardens and boat trips, is seven miles away; Portree, capital of the island, is 14 miles.
The cottage features a double bedroom, shower room with large walk-in shower, and an open plan living /kitchen room with vaulted ceiling. Large sliding doors make the most of the lochside view whilst a woodburning stove adds a cosy touch.
The cottage has been designed with comfort and low energy usage in mind. Using passive-house technology, insulation standards are far higher than most new builds, whilst active ventilation maintains the highest standards of air quality- good news for hay fever sufferers.
The cottage is fully equipped with a full kitchen, including a dishwasher and washing machine, and pets are welcome by prior arrangement. Wifi, electricity, and logs for the fire are all included.
