Taigh Dollaig

Taigh Dolag is a traditional croft house that offers modern comfort in a secluded location with exceptional views. Situated in an elevated position in Eyre on the eastern shore of Loch Snizort Beag on the northern coast of Skye, the location commands outstanding views out to the Minch and the Outer Hebrides in the distance.

With modern furnishings throughout, the two bedroom house offers a comfortable base to explore Skye, or just to relax and take in the magical scenery. There is a comfortable living room with a wood burning stove, one double bedroom, one kingsize bedroom, bathroom and a large fully equipped Kitchen diner with french doors.

We experienced another enjoyable stay in this home. I loved the quietness and scenic views that the location offers. The home is quipped with all items and appliances that you may need. We also loved lighting a fire in the evening in the stove in the lounge. Very much looking forward to returning in the near future.

We had an amazing time visiting the Isle of Skye and the Taigh Dolag house was an amazing place to come back to after a day of hiking and exploring! It was just so cozy and felt like home as soon as we walked in! The views were incredible, sunsets at night, fires in the morning to warm up the house - I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay! Don't hesitate to book this house!

The croft was clean and well appointed, with a breath taking view! Being at the end of the road, it was very private. We did lose power one night, but Joan was very communicative throughout the outage. Our wuestions were answered promptly and the location was perfect for our site seeing itinerary.

Extremely quiet, the view from the property is great, and it's about 10min drive from Portree. The kitchen is great and the kitchenware is of great quality. The house warms up quickly.Great stay. Note the actual location shown on the website is slightly off compared with the real location (about 100m away).

Scenic sundowns and silent nights

We really enjoyed the week on the Isle of Skye. The location was perfect for us. Away from the town of Portree but close enough for shopping and dining. We could reach all sights as it is located centrally. We would recommend some more furniture outside due to the sunny and hot wheather this year.

The coziest house in the Isle of Skye

Our family of 4 ( parents with 2 adult children ) had the privilege to stay at this most amazing cottage for 4 days this last week. We can’t recommend enough to anyone who is planning on traveling to Isle of Skye. The house is perfectly situated on a hillside with amazing view of herds of sheep glazing in the pasture fields right outside of your door. The house is super clean and the bedding is extremely comfortable. I need to get the same bedding for my own house no need to think twice, book this house for your upcoming stay in the Isle of Skye and thank me later !
