The Anchorage, Kyleakin, Isle of Skye


The Anchorage, Kyleakin, Isle of Skye

Escape to one of the most dramatically beautiful islands on Earth, the Isle of Skye in the Inner Hebrides, now connected to mainland Scotland by a famously toll-free road bridge. The Anchorage is a self-catering cottage perfectly situated on the foreshore of this stunning island. Ideal for those who love the seaside, mountain walks, wildlife watching, and crave a touch of peace with a Celtic twist, it offers an exceptional retreat whether in summer or winter.

This quaint old seaside cottage overlooks the serene Loch Alsh and the heather-clad mountains of the Highlands beyond. It's not uncommon to see a family of otters frolicking in the clear waters near the house, along with herons and other seabirds. A garden gate opens directly onto the high tide line, offering a prime spot for fishing or simply watching the comings and goings of yachts, naval ships, and even the occasional submarine or cruise liner. Directly across from The Anchorage is the former residence of Gavin Maxwell, the author of "Ring of Bright Water."

Kyleakin, pronounced Kylakken, lies just minutes from the bridge connecting Skye to the mainland, making it a peaceful yet vibrant place to stay. The village is active with sights in the channel and the bustling fishing harbour and marina just around the corner.

The cottage is cosy, accommodating one or two couples comfortably, yet spacious enough for a larger family. While it ideally hosts up to six guests on a self-catering basis, additional guests or visiting friends can find excellent accommodation at the nearby White Heather Hotel, known for its comfort and hospitality.

Recently refurbished for personal use, The Anchorage is equipped with modern conveniences to ensure a stress-free holiday. It includes a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, an Aga, a convector cooker/microwave, and a hob. Essential amenities such as a TV, video player, hairdryer, iron, and central heating are provided to ensure guests feel at home. However, guests are asked to bring their own towels.

The layout includes an entrance lobby with ample storage, a sitting room with a solid fuel stove and sofa bed, and a family room that doubles as a playroom or guestroom. The kitchen is fully equipped for a self-catering stay. The first floor houses the main bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom with a bath, power shower, and all necessary facilities.

Outside, the garden is well-maintained and leads directly to the foreshore, perfect for crabbing, fishing, diving, windsurfing, and boating. The harbour, just a minute's walk away, allows for the launching of larger craft.

Kyleakin itself is a delightful village centred around a small harbour and marina, home to several working fishing boats and pleasure crafts. The Viking Castle Moil, a short walk from the cove, is a notable landmark offering spectacular views. The village boasts a post office, general store, cafe, and a couple of simple restaurants, with more extensive facilities available in nearby towns.

Exploring the Isle of Skye from Kyleakin provides easy access to all parts of the island, from the bustling port of Portree to the tranquil Broadford, ensuring every visit is memorable.
