Welcome to Taigh-Na-Croit, Staffin, Culnacnoc, Isle of Skye
'Taigh-Na-Croit' translates from Gaelic into English as 'house on the croft'. 2012 is the first season for our brand new cottage, our second in the village, and is built and furnished to the same high standard as Trotternish Ridge View cottage. The village is far from over developed though with only 8 cottages!
Taigh-Na-Croit, situated in the friendly crofting community of Marishadder, is the perfect all seasons self catering holiday accommodation for peace-searching people who love the wilderness.
Set on the remote and rugged Isle of Skye, a place of unique beauty, peace and tranquility, Taigh-Na-Croit self catering holiday accommodation, is a beautiful new bright and spacious, fully fitted, modern detached single storey cottage, enjoying wonderful open views across the countryside towards the spectacular Trotternish Ridge.
Trotternish Ridge is located at the north east end of the island which boasts splendid rock formations such as the `Old Man of Storr', the beautiful Quiraing and the impressive Kilt Rock. Museums, castles and sites of historical interest, as well as nature trails and gardens are some of the many attractions of the Island. The area is also popular with walkers and climbers.
For anglers, the island offers trout fishing opportunities throughout its fifty mile length with the best of the trout fishing on the Storr Lochs, Leathan and Fada. The Kilmartin River, with runs of sea trout and occasional salmon, flows by the croft house (approx. 300m away).
Portree, the island capital, is only 13 miles away. A shop and restaurant are located 2 miles away, with the 'local' pub a mere 4 miles away!
If you're looking for something a bit bigger, set in the same idyllic location, take a look at our other cottage in the village - Trotternish Ridge View.
