About this home

Waterfall Cottage is a charming traditional cottage in the scattered township of Glendale in the Duirnish peninsula on Skye. The cottage is set into the hillside and has beautiful, far-reaching views across Glendale to Loch Pooltiel.

The Isle of Skye is the best known of the Inner Hebridean islands off the west coast of Scotland. Famous for its romantic, historical associations and magnificent landscape dominated by the Cuillin Mountains, the island is very popular attracting many tourists throughout the year as well as those who seek to enjoy a peaceful lifestyle in unspoilt and beautiful surroundings. Glendale is a community-owned estate made up of a protected landscape of moorland and mountains, and a stunning coastline of coral beaches and spectacular cliffs. There is a wide range of attractions in the area including Dunvegan Castle, the famous Michelin starred Three Chimneys Restaurant, and the MacLeod’s Tables on the eastern boundary of the estate. The village of Lephin has a Post Office with general store and two cafes, while Dunvegan has a grocer and newsagent, and Portree has a good range of shops and facilities including two supermarkets, banks, pharmacies and a secondary school. Inverness, about 3 hours’ drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.

Named after the waterfall in the burn that runs along the northern boundary of the site, Waterfall Cottage has been fully renovated by the current owners in the late 1990’s and since then have maintained the property well and carried out improvements when required. Recent work includes upgrading the heating system and erecting a new garden shed.

Waterfall Cottage is currently a successful holiday let, managed through Cottages.com and associated websites.
