Curlew Cottage is a purpose built cosy retreat ideal for couples who want to get away from it all for a break on the Isle of Skye. Situated a short walk from the shores of Loch Greshornish, on the outskirts of the little village of Edinbane, Curlew Cottage enjoys a tranquil setting amidst rolling farmland with a view of the Loch and the hills of the Outer Hebrides beyond. Edinbane lies on the Portree-Dunvegan road making this an ideal location for exploring the whole island. The village itself has two pubs with restaurants and bars; the Edinbane Inn has regular traditional music sessions and local b**r on tap. The Edinbane Lodge was completely refurbished in 2019 and offers an exceptionally high quality set menu with w**e pairing- cannot be recommended highly enough. Within a short walk of the cottage you can enjoy the shoreside or stroll up the back of the croft into the hills for a stunning view of Loch Snizort. Just five minutes away by car you will find the Greshornish peninsula which has a number of outstanding walks and resident eagles, plus a choice of two restaurants. Dunvegan, with a range of shops, places to eat, and the world famous castle with stunning gardens and boat trips, is seven miles away; Portree, capital of the island, is 14 miles. The cottage features a double bedroom, shower room with large walk-in shower, and an open plan living/kitchen room with vaulted ceiling. Large sliding doors make the most of the lochside view whilst a woodburning stove adds a cosy touch. The cottage has been designed with comfort and low energy usage in mind. Using passive-house technology, insulation standards are far higher than most new builds, whilst active ventilation maintains the highest standards of air quality- good news for hay fever sufferers. A log burner provides a cosy touch. The cottage is fully equipped with a full kitchen, including a dishwasher and washer/drier. Wifi, electricity, and logs for the fire are all included.
