AUTUMN/ WINTER BREAKS.

We are heading towards October and the beginning of the Autumn/Winter season.
So in order to give yourself some cheer during this time of year, why not think about and organise a break to our cottages on Waternish, Isle of Skye. It is a much quieter time of year in terms of numbers of visitors to the island but the wonderful scenery is just the same. On top of this you might be lucky with dark skies and auroras.
We offer our cottages for
1. A minimum of 3 nights with arrival days variable.
2. 4 nights for the price of 3.
3. Reduced rates for longer stays.
Both cottages have warming log burning stoves so you can cosy up!
Presently we also have Christmas and New Year dates available in Auld Mission Cottage.
So go on give it a think and we look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
