Vanilla Skye
5943 is no longer with usIf you were looking for cottages like Vanilla Skye, how about trying these:
Vanilla Skye is set in the most idyllic of locations overlooking the loch and mountains beyond. It is an ideal bolthole for couples looking to get away from it all and having a perfect base to explore the Isle of Skye. This pretty crofter's cottage has been designed to offer you a sense of privacy yet within easy reach of everything this magical island has to offer.
Vanilla Skye is set on one level and you enter through the spacious hallway with a vintage coat stand, just the place for boots, coats and picnic boxes. The sitting-room has an original wooden panelled wall which gives a cosy feel and coupled with the wood-burner ensures a warm welcome whatever season you visit. The large sofa is just the place to put your feet up and relax, maybe plan tomorrow's adventures or catch up on that good book you've been meaning to read. The kitchen is well-equipped and has two windows looking out over the garden, loch and mountains beyond, where else could you cook and admire such stunning scenery. The kitchen door leads out into the garden which is mainly lawn with some wilder areas which are unmown to encourage wildflowers and wildlife. The bedroom has a king-size bed and an intriguing bespoke headboard which mirrors the outline of the mountain range you can see from the cottage. Enjoy a long, leisurely soak in the bath, which also has a shower above.
When you venture outside into the large garden you will find a cabin which has seating and a table and looks out over the scenery beyond, sit here on an evening to watch the sun go down and see the changing light as night draws in. Or for early birds, watch the sun rise with a morning coffee. There is a fire-pit if you fancy al fresco dining. Whatever takes your fancy, Vanilla Skye will delight with its mix of old-world charm and modern comforts.
