8 Herbusta is a traditional crofter's cottage located in Kilmuir in northern Skye with a view across the Minch towards the Outer Hebrides.
The cottage is well-equipped, comfortable & is ideal for any group to enjoy the island. On the first floor, guests will find two bedrooms & a bathroom. On the ground floor is a farmhouse-style kitchen with dining area, a lounge with wood burner, the shower & utility room.
A garden lies to the front, great to sit out in & absorb the view...maybe even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
Within easy walking distance is the Skye Museum Of Island Life, with traditional thatched cottages & artefacts offering a taste of life for the crofters in bygone days.
The area is rich in wildlife & rare birds, including majestic golden eagles which regularly soar overhead. Also a walker's delight, as the cottage is ideally situated at the tip of the wild Trotternish Peninsula & being close to the Quiraing & Fairy Glen there are plenty of options for exploring on foot.
The cottage can accommodate 4 persons - 1 king-size bed in the main bedroom & 2 single beds in the twin room.
The amenities include -
*Note - Several steps lead down to the cottage making it unsuitable for wheelchair users or anyone that may struggle with steps.
