About this property
Traditional Croft Cottage Overlooking The Snizort River - Portree, Isle Of Skye
River View Cottage is a traditional croft cottage stone built in circa 1910 and retains all its original charm on the outside but has been internally modernised. The cottage is detached and sits in a rural elevated setting, with lovely views over the meandering river Snizort. Situated only 5 miles from the principle town of Portree, and a 10 minute drive to the Western Isles ferry terminal, the cottage is ideally located for touring around the island. With modern furnishings throughout, a cosy livingroom, fully equipped kitchen (with dining table), wetroom with walk in shower. Two double and one single bedrooms. Private garden with large parking area. Linen and towels provided.
