About this property

The Croft at Thistles on Skye

A fully refurbished traditional bijou croft house built in circa 1900 by local craftsman in village stone. The Croft House has stunning panoramic sea views across the Sound of Sleat to the Knoydart peninsula. The entrance porch provides plenty of hanging space for coats and shoes and gives access to the hall with the kitchen to the left and living room to the right. The fully equipped Ashley Ann kitchen comprises an induction hob and double electric oven and dining table and flat screen TV with Freeview. The welcoming, snug sitting room has a wood-burning stove and flatscreen Smart TV with Freesat and also a DVD player. The ground floor has underfloor heating throughout and Fired Earth limestone flags. There is a utility room with washing machine and clothes drying rack. Upstairs, we have created one luxury bedroom with ensuite shower room, separate full size dressing room with lots of storage, full length mirror and dressing table. There is also a designer bathroom with double ended bath and views over the garden and the Sound of Sleat.
Luxurious houses with high end kitchens

Situated on a traditional croft in Sleat, South Skye, we are ideally situated for the Skye Bridge or for the Armadale to Mallaig ferry. We offer a great base from which to explore the magical island of Skye.

We have tried to make these the best self catering experiences on the island by incorporating everything that we would like to have when we stay somewhere.
Our en-suites are beautifully finished with double ended baths and rain showers and you can then relax in our dressing gowns and complimentary slippers. Both houses have amazing sea views.

Thistles has two beautifully designed en-suite bedrooms with panoramic views over the Sound of Sleat to Loch Hourn and the Knoydart peninsula whilst The Croft has a luxury ensuite bedroom and separate dressing room, plus a second bijou bathroom with uninterrupted views over the sea.

Both houses have aga wood burning stoves for cosy winter nights. Thistles has a wonderful aga which heats the entire downstairs whilst The croft has tradition limestone flags with underfloor heating downstairs.

Rest and Relation in a stunning, luxurious house.
The Croft is like a home from home. Furnished with beautiful touches of style and thought, everything you could possibly need is provided, even a jug of the owners milk when I was in need of a cuppa! Views amazing, bed, bedding and towels luxurious and all mod cons for kitchen and bathrooms provided. Wonderful place to stay, thank you 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Perfect home from home escape
We stayed in The Croft, which was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. The garden was huge, with far reaching views over the water and surrounding hills which made for fantastic sunrise/sunset views. We found The Croft perfect for exploring Skye, and the hosts went out of their way to make us very welcome, and assist us with various aspects of our stay. Highly recommend!

Perfect
Owned by a young couple, David and Frances. Both great and very friendly. As soon as we booked we received several emails with indications and maps, advise about places to visit and routes. Also booked dinner for us in a local restaurant. Very helpful since the first minute. The Rooms are brand new, exactly like if you were at home in a recently renewed with very nice taste bedroom and ensuite bathroom. Lovely view. Very quiet. Breakfast was superb. All organic even bath products. Brillian
