Sgoirebreac (pronounced Scorrybreck) is a beautiful detached cottage sitting in its own enclosed garden. The cottage is furnished to a very high standard and is a veritable home from home. For your comfort and convenience the cottage has electric heating in all rooms. All electricity is included in the rental price. The garden area is equipped with rustic garden furniture and a BBQ is provided.

The Sitting Room

The sitting room, in keeping with the rest of the cottage, is very tastefully decorated. Patio doors lead onto a balcony, which brings to life the spectacular views enjoyed from within the room. The stunning views from the sitting room, towards Braes to the north and the Isle of Raasay to the east, are a constant source of comment from all of our guests.

For your entertainment, the cottage boasts a TV and video recorder plus a radio and CD player with a selection of videos and CD’s. There is also an abundance of reading material, with many of the publications being specific to Skye.

The Location

Sconser lies at the heart of the island, 12 miles from Broadford and 12 miles from Portree, the Island’s capital.

Sconser is a small crofting village set around a bay, where Sgoirebreac Cottage sits at the foot of the majestic "Glamaig", which rises to the rear. To the front there are wonderful lochside views across Loch Sligachan towards Braes and beyond to the Island of Raasay. Otters are regularly observed, playing or foraging on the foreshore.

The cottage is ideally situated in the centre of the island, facilitating easy access to all the wonderful sights that Skye has to offer.

Sconser has its own challenging nine-hole golf course, affording magnificent views of the surrounding land and seascapes.

The Sconser Lodge Hotel, a former shooting lodge located in the village, boasts a Waterside Restaurant plus a cosy bar. For a wider choice, the famous Sligachan Hotel is located 2½ miles distant, on the road to Portree. This establishment has a lovely restaurant and lounge bar in addition to a large family bar, “Seamus’s”, where food is served all day.

Sconser is also the point of departure for the small car ferry that serves the Island of Raasay. This island is well worth a visit during your stay on Skye, and the twenty-minute sea crossing provides alternative breathtaking aspects to the views only previously enjoyed from terra firma.

Walks

For the hillwalker there are both gentle and challenging walks available right from the cottage door, whilst the Black Cuillin, 2½ miles away, offer climbers the greatest mountain experience available in the UK.
