Description

Situated in the scattered and isolated crofting township of Conista, within the surrounds of Duntulm, in the far north of the Trotternish Peninsula of Skye, Ridge End Cottage enjoys spectacular views over tranquil crofts to the sea and distant mountains.

Unusually designed, the traditional, whitewashed exterior of this detached cottage belies its modern décor, with a cathedral ceiling and a mezzanine bedroom.

The high standard of craftsmanship, cosy furnishings and amount of wood used give a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

With great hill and coastal walking, and boat trips nearby, the cottage is an ideal wildlife and birdwatcher's retreat.

The elusive corncrake inhabits a number of crofting meadows nearby, and a sighting of the rare merlin is possible.

Along the seashore and lochs, otters and seals patrol the sheltered bays.

Seabirds including diving gannets, cormorants, guillemots and puffins abound.

A stay at Ridge End Cottage promises to be a memorable holiday indeed.

An amazing place.

A lovely little cottage. We spent a wonderful time there on the Isle of Skye. Many thanks.

The Ridge End Cottage had everything we needed to keep us cosy and comfortable on those rainy days in October.

We especially enjoyed the quiet surroundings and spent many minutes looking out of the kitchen window into the open field, where we often caught sight of rabbits prancing about. What a treat for city-dwellers like us! Catriona was a very kind and thoughtful host. She gave us eggs for breakfast and was quick to respond when we ran into a small issue with the heated water supply one evening. Her timely warning about a landslip blocking one of the main roads also saved us from considerable inconvenience on the day of our departure. We are most grateful to her for that. All in all, we were rained out for quite a few days and didn't see much of the Isle of Skye. But staying at the Ridge End Cottage was surely a memorable highlight of our trip. We hope to be back soon.
