Welcome to Cnoc na Loch Holiday Cottage, Elgol, by Broadford, Isle of Skye
Relax in Cnoc na Loch, a traditional, well-equipped Highland cottage with every feature you could need to make your holiday on the Isle of Skye special. Cnoc na Loch sleeps up to 6 people and we are sure that once you have enjoyed the setting and character of this lovely wee cottage you will want to return again and again.
This traditional croft house is set in a private location nearing the end of one of the most beautiful roads on the Isle of Skye. The property is situated in the pretty fishing village of Elgol, one mile from the jetty which looks onto the beautiful Atlantic coast with views to the islands beyond.
Whether you simply wish to relax and take in the scenery, enjoy a wide range of walks and climbs, bird-watch, whale-watch, or search for otters and seals, this is an ideal base. We are also ideally placed to explore the rest of Skye and nearby mainland areas such as Plockton, Applecross and Glenelg, or ferry hop to Mallaig and the Inner Hebrides.
Though you may never have heard of the little fishing and crofting village of Elgol in the Scottish Highlands, there is a good chance that you have seen photos of Elgol's famous mountain and seascape scenery in postcards, Scottish books and even film scenes and television programmes. From the larger Skye village of Broadford many visitors have turned down the enchanting Elgol road completely unaware of the magnificent scenes that await them around almost every corner. The 15 mile journey over twisty single-track roads will take you past High Pastures Cave, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the area, then sweep you around the corner to the ancient, historical site of Kilchrist church.

Location - How to Find Us
Once you come across the Skye bridge, turn right at the roundabout, signposted ’Uig’ and ’Portree’. Follow this main road into the small town of Broadford (this is the south of the island’s main town). You will go through a few small villages first, Lower Breakish, Skulamus etc. Go past the Co-op supermarket, which will be on your right - BP petrol station is there too. About a further 300 yards on the left there is a Chip shop/cafe called the Waterfront go past that, and then turn left at the Broadford Hotel, sign-posted Ealaghol.
Set your satelite navigation system or milometer on your car as you will think you are on a road to no-where! It is a 15 mile journey which takes about 25-30 mins. Drive carefully as there are some bad corners, steep drops, sheep and sometimes cows just common grazing. Do not turn off the main road - single track a lot of the time - you will come to a place called ’Torrin’ about halfway to Elgol, here you have to go round ’Loch Slapin’ and start climbing up the hill towards Elgol. You will then come to a small cluster of houses at Straithaird, about 2 miles on you will pass the small graveyard to the left, then a road off to the left which leads to ’Drinan’. Keep going and you will come to a cattle grid and gate, signposted Elgol/Ealaghol.
Our houses are about 300-400 yards past the cattle grid, go straight on until you come to a bungalow on the right, on the hill, looking over onto 2 cottages and our bungalow (left-hand side of the road). Our bungalow which is on the left hand side of the road, down a slight dip has a sign post with a black cat on it, with the name ’Cawdor’ on it. Cnoc na Loch is just behind our bungalow, you will see the parking bay inside the gate for your car(s). There is a sign at the entrance to our drive, signposting the direction of Cnoc na Loch Self Catering Cottage.
Remember you do not get mobile phone reception during this journey (there may be a few cluster areas but they are very sparse).
