“Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich und in sehr guter Lage.”

Auch die Zufahrt ist kein Problem. Wir haben das Haus gleich beim ersten Anlauf gefunden. Sehr gemütlich ist der Kamin im Wohnbereich. Die Ausstattung war zufriedenstellend. Da wir ziemlich spät im Jahr dort waren, bei Außentemperaturen von 0 - 10 Grad, ist die installierte E - Heizung völlig unzureichend, speziell im Bad! Nach 3Tagen funktionierte auch die automatische Warmwasserbereitung nicht mehr und trotz hinterlassen einer Nachricht an die Betreuerin des Hauses wurde dieser Mangel ...

Der DVD Player funktionierte ebenfalls nicht.

“We stay four days in skye island, thé half of 6 cottage is a very pleasant place to stay.”

Confortable, quiet, cosy, and the place is amazing.
Miss Lauwaert July 2018

“A really cute and cosy cottage.”

Don’t expect WiFi, easy roads or modernity here. But it’s what makes the charm of this secluded retreat. The dog sleeping by a warm fire after an evening hiking around sky, friends gathered around the kitchen table playing games and drinking cider before tucking in a cosy bed admiring wonderful sunsets, wonderful views on Raasay as your take your morning stroll or enjoy your coffee in the garden. A fair warning that some people before us complained about : yes it a small cottage, with a really small tv and no WiFi. The road to the cottage could be hard to access in the winter. It’s rustic. But that’s also why we loved the place. It’s full of charm. Would go there again without a doubt. The only trouble we had weren’t with the place or the owner but with the people who rented it before who didn’t stack fire woods or replenish the tea, coffee, flour, etc. As was asked.

“The cottage was very comfortable, we felt completely comfortable there.”

The kitchen is well equipped and there are countless hiking and excursion tips for the guests. Highly Recommended!

“Access bad for normal car Fireplace and carpets not clean No washing line Too many rules not relaxing Second bedroom no bedding so even though whole cottage booked could not have own space One toilet roll and not allowed to even wash your one towel would not recommend ****************************************************************************************** OWNER RESPONSE We are very sorry you did not enjoy your stay at the cottage.”

Instead of a washing line we provide a clothes drying rack that can be used inside (the unpredictable Skye weather means an indoor drying option - or one that can be put in a sheltered spot in the garden - is more practical.). There is also a washer /dryer in the kitchen. The only rule in the house is from the laundry asking guests not to wash their towels as colours sometimes run. Otherwise we try to give guests helpful information to ensure your stay is safe and comfortable in a house you may be unfamiliar with. If the cottage is booked for two people we always provide extra bedding in the spare room. We are sorry you did not find it - but we do provide the cottage manager's number in case of need. She is a neighbour and always willing to help.The track to the cottage is long and steep in places, but we do make this clear in the description of the cottage - and our neighbour has a mini! We care deeply about our guests and want to ensure they are as comfortable as possible. We hope you will return to Skye one day and give Half of Six another try.

The property

Portree 7 miles.

This detached 100 year old traditional croft house is set in front of a working croft amongst sheep grazing fields in the crofting village of Gedintailor, seven miles from Portree.

The cottage has stunning views over the Narrows of Raasay and towards the Isle of Raasay and is an ideal base for those looking to get away from it all.

The cottage has two bedrooms on the first floor, a double and a twin, both of which have sloping ceilings to the sides.

The rest of the accommodation is spread across the ground floor and includes a kitchen with a dining area with a multi fuel stove.

The sitting room has an open fire and is a lovely cosy spot to curl up and relax in the evenings.

Outside, the garden is a sheltered spot to enjoy barbecues or your morning cup of coffee.

Why not sit a moment and enjoy the views out to the Scottish mainland?

You are just a ten minute walk from the sandy beach at Braes and nearby Portree is the main town on the Isle of Skye.

The town is set around a busy harbour and is a popular tourist destination with a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants.

Boat trips are available to see a different view of the island and pony-trekking is also an option.

Portree is also home to the award-winning Aros Centre with a theatre, film showings and concerts.

Half of 6 is a fantastic base for exploring the whole island.

About the location

PORTREE

Fort William 108 miles; Inverness 113 miles.

Set round its natural harbour on the stunning and tranquil Isle of Skye, charming Portree boasts an excellent range of shops, hotels and restaurants. Cultural attractions are plentiful; the Aros Centre is well worth a visit with its programme of concerts, theatre and cinema. Sports enthusiasts are also well catered for, with sea kayaking, rock-climbing and a good choice of well-marked walks. The rock formations are particularly spectacular; Trotternish Ridge stretches for 31km of continuous cliffs, with many fantastic rock forms and pinnacles. Dunvegan Castle and the Talisker Distillery Visitor Centre are just two more reasons to visit this magical isle.
