Exploring the Remote Beauty of the Isle of Skye for Self-Catering Holiday

The Isle of Skye is quite a remote part of Scotland to visit for a self-catering holiday. For many though, it is well worth the trek to this part of Scotland.

What Does Portree Offer for Cottage Breaks on the Isle of Skye?

Portree on the Isle of Skye is one of the isle’s main towns. Portree is a coastal town with a pretty harbour with colourful houses and a small beach area where fishing boats are harboured on the sand in low tide. Portree centres around the main square and although not a big town by any means, there are pubs, a few restaurants, some shops, and a Post Office. Despite being small, Portree is the largest town on the Isle of Skye but do bear in mind that the isle is a remote place that is sparsely populated.

Discovering Natural Wonders Near Portree

The cliffs near Staffin are a short drive from Portree and a sight to behold where you may be lucky enough to see sea eagles gliding in the sky. Portree is considered to be a good base for many when it comes to exploring the northern part of the Isle of Skye and is in a relatively central position from which to explore the Isle. Journeys to the very south of the island though can take a long time as there are lots of single track roads and journeys can be slow. Stay on the safe side and allow plenty of time when exploring the Isle of Skye.

Whale Watching Adventures on the Isle of Skye

Many enjoy whale watching in season whilst taking a self-catering holiday on the Isle of Skye. Trips tend to run from Elgol in the South West or Armadale in the South of the Isle of Skye. Staff here who took trips from both Elgol and Armadale found Elgol to give the best sightings, luck or a pattern we don't know!

Cottage Stays and Accommodation Options on the Isle of Skye

When it comes to self-catering accommodation, on the Isle of Skye it is possible to find idyllic rural retreats, country lodges, or coastal cottages. Wherever you stay, we hope that you are inspired by the magic of the Isle of Skye on your cottage break and that the Scottish weather is good to you.
