Broadford 15 miles.
The crofting community of Elgol sits at the tip of the Strathaird Peninsula, in southern Skye, at the end of a single track road running from the village of Broadford. Passing through the picturesque village of Torrin, round the head of Loch Slapin with the celebrated Bla Bheinn mountain on the right, the road descends into Elgol, with breathtaking views overlooking the small islands of Rhum, Eigg, Canna and Soay. Several small fishing boats operate from the pier and it is well worth taking one of two small crafts to the famous Loch Coruisk in the heart of the Cuillin, passing a seal colony en route. Experienced hill walkers and climbers can set out from here into the surrounding mountains or have a picnic by the loch and return by the same boat 1.5 hours later. Elgol has a small community shop and post office, and petrol is available in Broadford, which is 15 miles from Elgol and has a variety of pubs, restaurants and shops.

With stunning sea views, this traditional, whitewashed, Isle of Skye cottage in the scattered crofting community of Elgol provides a warm welcome to walkers, climbers, geologists and bird watchers. With three spacious bedrooms, and a fourth, smaller one with its own shower, this delightful Isle of Skye cottage is ideal for families and friends to tour Skye and the Western Highlands. Sympathetically renovated by the owners to retain such features as the exposed stone hearth and quirky surround of the original fireplace in the kitchen, this Skye cottage has the added appeal of an open fire in the sitting room and stunning views towards the sea. There are miles of inspiring coastal walks in Skye and if you can tear yourself away from the home comforts of this delightful Skye cottage, some of the best are on the doorstep. This Isle of Skye cottage is next door to the excellent Coruisk restaurant, open during the summer months. Nearby attractions include Spar Cave, Prince Charlie's Cave and an abundance of wildlife including deer, buzzards, eagles and otters. A superb Skye cottage for walking, climbing, touring or simply relaxing.

The location is nice, and the house is very, very good!
Ms Gorlinskaia, Mitischi, June 2011
The location was stunning with access to many good walks straight from the house or with a short car ride. The house provided a very comfortable base for a great holiday.
