  • "What can I say?"

    Catriona and Peter and wonderful hosts, their attention to detail: the comfort of the croft, the cleanliness, all the things needed to make a wonderful stay are all there and their communication with us was super; from informing us about the key safe to enter to updating us on the actual day of arrival that it would be ready slightly earlier if we wished. Loved the mezzanine bedroom, watching the stars and then the snow fall was incredible. We also watched golden eagles hovering over the hills from there and rabbits aplenty digging in the snow, fabulous. To see the sunrise coming up over the hilltops is magical, especially as we are both keen photographers, to capture that was really special. The sofas are extremely comfy and we made good use of them as we had a lot of snow during our stay this January! Catriona checked on us several times to ask if we were okay or needed anything. Both Peter and Catriona arrived with salt to clear the path and extra logs as there was a possibility the power could go off. Nothing was too much for them. Would we recommend and return - without a doubt! Can't wait.

    Thankyou so much for taking the time to provide your valued feedback. We are really delighted that you still enjoyed your stay in spite of the weather. Property Owner

    The property was clean and tidy and suited our needs exactly. The location was remote but that was why we chose to stay there. We have stayed on Skye many times and Ridge End Cottage was one of the best places we have stayed in and would stay there again.

  • "We have just returned from Ridge End Cottage after a fantastic trip to the Isle of Skye."

    The cottage is located right at the top of the Totternish peninsula and about as far North as you can possibly go on Skye without tripping into the Atlantic and swimming over to the Outer Hebrides (disclaimer - I do not recommend the swimming or the tripping!) The cottage is therefore quite isolated but this just adds to its magic. From the cottage, there are 360-degree panoramic views which constantly change throughout the day depending on the weather, but even standing and washing the dishes is an experience, never before have I rushed to wash the dishes! The cottage offers basically everything you require for your trip and Catriona and Peter are fantastic hosts and live locally so can respond quickly to requests that you may have. There is a choice of three bedrooms and one has fantastic views over the end of the Totternish Ridge and you can sit up in bed and watch eagles and buzzards majestically flying on the thermals, sometimes you can even hear them call to each other, that is an experience that you cannot miss. The cottage's location is reasonably near some of the most popular outdoor locations such as the Quiraing, the Storr, Mealt & Lealt Falls, Staffin Beach, and Brothers Point. All within less than 1/2 hour drive along one of the most scenic routes in Scotland. Other tourist destinations are 1 to 2 hours drive (make a day off it and travel across the Island). Staffin is the nearest large (by Skye standards) village with two shops, and a great cafe at Columba 1400 and Portree is about a 50 min drive. The weather on Skye is very changeable so you will require a mixture of clothing including waterproofs and shorts (yip both will be required). It is also a big place so the weather could be completely different at the other end of the island. Anyway, I am probably writing too much and slowing you down hitting that booking button. So in summary please book Ridge End Cottage you will not regret your choice to enjoy living for a short time on this magical island. We will definitely book Ridge End Cottage for future return trips to the Misty Isle.

    Thankyou SO much for your wonderful feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time and are just delighted you enjoyed your stay enough to hope to return. We very much enjoyed reading this which also re opens our eyes to just exactly what we have around us. Thankyou. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

    We were looking for a quiet and relaxing place to spend a week, and this cottage provided that. Lovely to snuggle up to a log fire after coming in from the elements. Really well kitted out kitchen, and great to have the option of two separate sitting areas. The owners were super lovely and went out of their way to respond to our plea for help when a pipe burst.

  • "The only thing was that there was three lights not working in the living room and there was no instructions on how to get more wood for the log burner if you required it."

    It would have been nice recommended places to eat.

    Hi. I’m so sorry you did not have the information you required about places to eat and where to get wood. These were in an attachment I had sent to you but maybe you did not receive it although the same pack is in the cottage. I will leave this out in a more conspicuous place as a result of your feedback. The light bulbs in 3 of the ceiling spotlights do need changing and I am so sorry, but as you will realise, it is not a straightforward procedure with the height of the ceiling. With the time required for a full clean of the cottage between guests, we have been waiting for enough of a gap to get the equipment and resources required, in the cottage in order to safely make the changes. As there are so many other spotlights and the lamps, we felt there was a good level of light. We take on board all your comments and address them. Thankyou for taking the time to feedback. We appreciate all suggestions and act on all feedback. Property Owner

The cottage itself is extremely comfortable and has every amenity you could ever imagine needing on a holiday. But what's really special is that from every room there are views of the sea and of the Quiraing (there's also a footpath you can take to hike the Quiraing just up the hill from the cottage!) and your nearest neighbors are the McIntyre's sheep, whose soft bleeting will lull you to sleep.

    The cottage is exceptional. It has more than anything you will need for your stay - the kitchen is stocked like a full kitchen - not just a few little broken utensils and mis-matched plates like you often get at rental homes, oodles of towels and blankets, and comfortable beds & furniture. The views are stunning and the location at the end of the Trotternish is a great starting point to see most of what’s what on Skye while still being away from it all - and any drive you do to get to things is breathtaking and part of the fun. Catriona was just lovely and always available with answers to questions. To sum it up: we booked 7 days and extended to 10 we loved it so much.

Evening strolls at Duntulm castle ruins as the sun disappears, Uig coastal village for real ale and exploring the fairy glens, or hiking the magestic Storr are not to be missed. I wish I lived closer to this beautiful part of the country. Highly recommend a stay here.

  • "Beautiful cottage set in a stunning location."

    Not the most central, but if you're looking for a quite retreat with wonderful views this is the place. Upstairs bed needs a more comfortable mattress but slept well all the same. We will be back!

  • "Ridge End Cottage is a lot nicer than internet pictures, hence pleasant surprise."

    One week is too short, if the weather is bad as we had it( can't change that). Loved every minute of it even the wild windy days. Would highly recommend the cottage and the location, lots of farm animals and wild life to see as long as you are prepared for 4 seasons in week!

  • "Very comfortable accommodation in a great remote location."

    House is well stocked with utensils crockery etc. The mezzanine bedroom is wonderful! Satellite TV is provided (should this be important to you) but be aware this can be easily disrupted should the weather turn nasty and due to the location it will not be so easy for the proprietor to fix. Fortunately Skye is such a beautiful place, for us the lack of Sky TV was not a major loss. All in all a great holiday base and would definitely consider booking Ridge End again.

The property

Situated in the scattered and isolated crofting township of Conista, within the surrounds of Duntulm, in the far north of the Trotternish Peninsula of Skye, Ridge End Cottage enjoys spectacular views over tranquil crofts to the sea and distant mountains.

Unusually designed, the traditional, whitewashed exterior of this detached cottage belies its modern décor, with a cathedral ceiling and a mezzanine bedroom.

The high standard of craftsmanship, cosy furnishings and amount of wood used give a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

With great hill and coastal walking, and boat trips nearby, the cottage is an ideal wildlife and birdwatcher's retreat.

The elusive corncrake inhabits a number of crofting meadows nearby, and a sighting of the rare merlin is possible.

Along the seashore and lochs, otters and seals patrol the sheltered bays.

Seabirds including diving gannets, cormorants, guillemots and puffins abound.

A stay at Ridge End Cottage promises to be a memorable holiday indeed.

About the location

CONISTA

Staffin 6 miles; Uig 10 miles; Portree 25 miles.

Comprising of a few, traditionally whitewashed cottages, the scattered crofting township of Conista is situated within the area known as Duntulm, on the Trotternish Peninsula in the far north of the Isle of Skye. Duntulm is named after a steep rocky headland where the ruins of Duntulm Castle can be clearly seen. Conista is 10 miles from the village of Uig - the gateway port to the Outer Hebrides - and 6 miles from the village of Staffin. Both Staffin and Uig offer a small range of shops and local amenities. Trotternish is the northern peninsula of Skye, dominated by the Trotternish Ridge ranging from the imposing monolith of the 'Old Man of Storr' to the geological phenomenon that is the Quirang. The area offers excellent walking country, boasting breath-taking views including the Kilt Rock viewpoint, to the south of Staffin, with its dramatic waterfall. Many seabirds use the steep cliffs here in early summer, including the Fulmar, often seen circling the cliff tops at eye level. A fantastic location for exploring this mystical Isle.
