Mungo's Den, Carbost, Portnalong, Isle of Skye


Mungo's Den, Carbost, Portnalong, Isle of Skye

During your stay at Mungo's Den, you'll discover Portnalong, a peaceful and friendly crofting hamlet on the North-West of Skye. This vintage getaway serves as an ideal base for exploring the island's wonders, from the enchanting Fairy Pools to a dram at Talisker Distillery, or enjoying fresh seafood from the nearby Oyster shed.

Once an old telephone exchange and post office, Mungo's Den has been meticulously rescued and restored, offering a stylish holiday experience. With a calm and restful atmosphere brimming with style and character, the property features recycled and reclaimed materials throughout. The spiral staircase, rescued from a garden, has been lovingly restored.

The living room boasts warmed floors, a log burner, a comfortable sofa, and a dining table, continuing the recycled theme. The kitchen incorporates a blend of crockery and Victorian cupboard doors. The bathroom is equipped with a rolled-top bath and underfloor heating for added comfort, while the mezzanine level features a super king bed and Velux windows. The first-floor bedroom offers a double bed.

Guests enjoy exclusive access to the entire property, including a small seating area at the rear and convenient front parking. Mungo's Den provides a vintage retreat with a perfect blend of history and contemporary comforts.

Portnalong & Carbost boasts some of the most breathtaking scenery, including the famous Cuillin Mountains. You can enjoy scenic beach walks at Fiskavaig Bay, Talisker & Glen Brittle. Talisker Distillery, only 3 miles away, offers guided tours. Excellent food and music are provided at The Old Inn at Carbost, and fantastic dining can be savoured at the Loch Bay Restaurant, Edinbane Lodge & The Three Chimneys. Toward Portnalong Pier, you can discover beautiful etchings and prints at Loch Harport Gallery, with an abundance of other galleries in the area as well. In Portree, the Aros Centre offers film and performing arts, eagle cams & art exhibitions, plus a popular café/bistro.
