Hirta, Isle of Skye, Sleeps 4
Well-placed on the hillside to enjoy magnificent coastal views across the sea to the Outer Hebrides, and untouched by the rapid development of this corner of the island, this delightful detached holiday property is an ideal retreat to unwind and relax at any time of year. Standing alone and accessed by a track, it has beautiful sunsets over the sea, castles to explore; while the distant hills of Harris make for a memorable stay. There are boat trips to enjoy and many fine restaurants nearby, including the famous ‘Three Chimneys’ (5 miles away). Shops 2 miles.

5th comment: Myself and my new wife stayed at Hirta for our honeymoon. The property felt so much at home and has the best views that I have seen. I am from the north east of Scotland and have good views where I stay but from there it was just beautiful. Everytime you looked out the window it looked like a different place. The cottage itself is very well insulated and warm. Nothing like sitting in the evening with the log burner going also!!! Aug 2011.
