Mary's Cottages - Romantic Vacations on the Island of Skye

Traditional Holiday Cottages

Our four thatched cottages, "Tigh Phadraig", "Tigh Màiri" and "Tigh Seonag" and "Tigh Lachie", each offer a unique taste of luxurious self-catering accommodation including a traditional veiled boxed bed (better than any four poster!), under floor heated stone floors throughout (absolutely wonderful on bare feet!), with a stove sitting in the large stone fire place - perfect for watching the flickering flames whilest sipping at a wee dram during your romantic retreat.

A well equipped fully fitted kitchen is also installed, but if you don't fancy cooking there are many fine restaurants on the Isle of Skye, including one just a short walk away. Enjoy the perfect vacation in some of the finest thatched cottages (or 'black houses') in Scotland. The cottages have been awarded Four Stars by the Scottish Tourist Board and are available to rent throughout the year.

Romantic Scottish Island Location

The cottages are located in the renowned but secluded small fishing and crofting village of Elgol on the Isle of Skye. The view from the jetty at the bottom of the village, looking across Loch Scavaig into Loch Coruisk and the magnificent Cuillin Hills mountain range is arguably the finest in the country.

At the small harbour local creel and trawling boats land their catches. Other boats run trips across Loch Scavaig to Loch Coruisk and the Cuillin Hills. The holiday cottages are perfectly situated for those looking to do some climbing or hill walking with nearby access to Blaven and the other Cuillins.
