Edinbane Self Catering, Upper Edinbane, Isle of Skye (Sleeps 1-4)


Set amidst the beauty and rugged splendour of Scotland's Isle of Skye, Edinbane Self Catering provides holiday accommodation near sea and mountains in traditional stone cottages.

People lead stressful, busy lives these days and the owners' hope is that the croft will provide guests with a place to relax, unwind and maybe even throw away their car keys for a few days. The croft walks are perfect short pre-breakfast or after-dinner strolls, the fire pit and barbecue offers a place to laze away the hours while younger folk can burn off energy on the trampoline or build dens in the woodland areas.

Skye has something for everyone, no matter what your age or ability. With outdoor activities aplenty the island and the sea around, it is like a giant adventure playground. If water-based activities are your “thing”, you can slide down a waterfall, swim at the foot of sea cliffs or explore the coast in a sea kayak – we can find someone to show you how. Boat tours will introduce you to sea birds and mammals or act as a “pick up / drop off” water taxi to get you to those out of the way spots. Maybe you want to bag a few Munros, walk a sea cliff route or go for the big one – traverse the Cuillin ridge, arguably the most arduous adventure in the UK.
