Summer Cottage Available for Booking!

I have just launched the website for our new our new holiday cottage - Summer Cottage in Roag. It is at www.holidayskye.com . Online booking is available, with first bookings starting from Easter 2015. At the moment, the photographs on the site are all taken from the Estate Agent's details, but they will have to do until we are able to get some better ones of our own.

Here is the Summer Cottage as seen in Google Streetview:



We have bought the cottage with much of the furniture in place, so the work to get it ready for letting is relatively minimal. To be sure we are ready though, and to get the know how the cottage 'works', we will be staying in the cottage for a while in the New Year. It is less than 2 miles from Roskhill Barn, so it will be easier for us to keep an eye on the building work than from Loch View, which is where we are staying at present.

Of course, once we move out of Loch View, I shall do a bit of refreshing of the decorating, then this cottage will again be available for early Spring breaks. The website for here is www.cottageholidayskye.co.uk

More news on the Roskhill Barn re-build soon!

It looks familiar, like perhaps I have stayed there before. But maybe we have only driven by in the past. Was it a self-catering cottage before?

Hi Jill, This cottage was restored from a near-ruin by the previous owner, then lived in by him for the last 14 years - it has never been a self catering let until now. But there are a number of croft houses on Skye built in a very similar style.

That must be it, the similar style. Looks like a terrific spot to spend a week. I will need to get a part-time job and save up my pence so I can come stay there!

Sue and I are going to live in the cottage for a month or so after Christmas, while the work on the Barn continues. We are very much looking forward to 'trying out' the cottage.
