Cobbler's Cottage

Cobbler's Cottage is a cosy bolthole in Portree, on Scotland's northern coast, and makes a fine base for two people wanting to explore the Isle of Skye at a gentle pace. With no fuss and no distractions laid on, it suits couples happy to make their own entertainment, whether that's walking, exploring the harbour town, or simply taking in the views.

For a change of scene, the Giant Angus MacAskill Museum is around 5.1 miles away, offering an easy half-day trip into local history. Otherwise, Portree itself is well worth lingering in, with its working harbour and easy access to the wider island beyond.
