Unwind in this peaceful crofting setting. Awake to the sound of seabirds, watch seals playing in the loch or sunbathing on the rocks at low tide. The shore is immediately accessible from the house. The estuary is the home territory of herons, ducks, geese, oyster catchers and seals. If you are lucky, you may see the local otters in the river mouth, or the sea & golden eagles. Sunsets are often spectacular. Centrally positioned for easy access to most North Skye attractions.
