Traditional Croft House, modern interior, in stunning landscape, near the coast.

Open plan living with wonderful natural light in a traditional stone croft house. Willie Mcleod’s House sits detached in a crofted landscape with beautiful views towards the nearby sea and the hills.

Near midway between Staffin and Uig, Willie's is well placed for access to the coast and the Trotternish Ridge with it's spectacular and wondrous Quiraing rock formations.
Inside the classic picturesque whitewashed cottage exterior is a modern-living surprise – all air, space and light downstairs in the living area, with smart, contemporary furnishings and tasteful, sympathetic decoration. The wood-burning stove adds to the air of warm, comfortable welcome.

The kitchen and bathroom finish the ground floor accommodation in style and functionality, including a walk-in shower and seperate bath and an additional single WC. The kitchen is fully equipped and newly upgraded, including electric oven, hob, washer/dryer, fridge with freezer compartment, microwave and dishwasher.

This property is beyond special and like no place we've ever stayed before. Not only is the drive to it AMAZING, but the property itself has a picturesque setting of free range grazing land and views of the sea. Such a welcoming environment and home... including a handwritten note from the property manager. The home has a lovely decor with modern conveniences... but also has a feel of stepping back in time. As charming as can be!!! Rabbits, birds, cows, sheep are all around this area and property, as well as several gorgeous Isle of Skye landmarks. We were teary eyed upon arrival, as well as when time to leave. Just that special of a place! Could not recommend this property more highly!

Hogmanay at the Top of Skye

My family of four (young adult children) thoroughly enjoyed spending our New Year in Willie McLeod’s cottage. It is a charming and warm home from which to venture out on Skye. The cottage is well equipped and the kitchen ready for basic cooking. We loved it and would come back in anytime!

A beautiful croft house, in a spectacular location.

The croft house was idyllic, beautifully renovated and decorated with all amenities one could want. It makes a perfect home from home and base for exploring the north of the island. The host obviously cares very much about her guests and this is reflected in the house itself.

A cozy and beautiful cottage, the host is very kind and the place around stunning. The neighbours are rabbits and sheeps, so this is a very quiet place, but you can go everywhere on the island so this is a perfect spot to stay.

We made a very last minute booking and this was one of the only properties still available, it’s a little remote, but it was a lovely retreat at the end of the day. Very quiet and cozy and the views are incredible. I would definitely stay here again.

Unique stay in remote Skye

Our family of 4 - with 2 kids ages 12 and 11 - really enjoyed staying here for 2 nights. The scenery was amazing and the cows, sheep and rabbits surrounding the house were entertaining. You definitely need to be comfortable driving some single track road though! Lorraine was great to communicate with and the house was spotless and very comfortable. Loved our stay!
