About this property

Taigh Dolag. Skye Holiday house, central location with stunning views.

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 only a 7 minute drive to Portree, the island capital, and a 10 minute drive to the Western Isles ferry terminal, the house is ideally located for those wishing to tour the island, and further afield.

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. The house has central heating and a private garden with seating area.

Located on a working croft, we will be tending to livestock daily and are unable to accommodate pets. Private parking is available. The house can accommodate a maximum of 4 people.

We stayed at the house for 4 nights with our two young kids. The stay went perfect, our kids had plenty of fun running up and down the house and around the fenced yard. It is a charming house in a peaceful area. The view is astounding, recommend sitting outside watching the 10pm sunset. The house is super clean (really one of the cleanest we have stayed in) and very well furnished so you can cook meals. And the neighbors are very nice, cute and fluffy and make for great fun with the kids.

The house was everything it said it would be and then some, the pictures don’t do it justice. The views and the location exceptional. Bedding and pillows very comfy. The hosts are out standing, and the kitchen is very well stocked. I highly recommend this lovely Croft home. For reference, it was only my husband and I and I am soooo glad we did not stay in Portree.

We had such a wonderful stay here in this beautiful house. The view is truly outstanding and you never tire from looking out of the window! We were fortunate to be here during snowy period so got to see snow capped mountains across the island. The log burning stove was a welcome comfort after long days out in the cold. We hope to return again sometime soon!

We had a great stay here. The place was very clean and matched the photos exactly, which made check-in feel easy and stress-free. Everything was well kept, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for guests. The view was absolutely lovely and one of our favorite parts of the stay—perfect for relaxing and taking in the surroundings.One of the more unique and charming touches was having sheep as our “neighbors.” Seeing them nearby added to the peaceful, countryside feel and made the experience feel a bit more special and memorable.Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we would definitely recommend it to others looking for a clean, comfortable place with great views and a quiet, scenic atmosphere.

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!

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.
