Description from owner

Description

A modern, semi-detached cottage built in the traditional style. Situated in the tranquil heart of Glendale, close to the shop, cafe, community hall and church. Spacious and light, the cottage is immaculately furnished and equipped way above ordinary standards. Close to the Three Chimneys Restaurant, Neist Point and a 10 minute walk to the beach.

The cottage stands on a 5 acre working croft with free-range hens and a small market garden. Flora and fauna seen from the cottage includes white-tailed eagles, red deer, brown hares, stoats, orchids and sundews.

Lephin cottage is furnished to a very high standard, with living room views across the glen and dining room views onto the croft. Relax on the comfy leather sofas as you watch the ever changing light across the hillside. The kitchen provides a home from home and is exceptionally well equipped, for those of you that love to cook. For those that prefer to eat out the friendly and welcoming Cafe Lephin is less than 5 minutes walk away. Serving delicious soups, sandwiches and homemade baking during the day. As it is only a walk away why not enjoy a local beer or dram with your lunch. For evening meals, a short drive into Dunvegan will take you to the Old School Restaurant or a little further a field you will find the Edinbane Inn. For those who fancy a real treat the fabulous Three Chimneys is a must, but book ahead!

After a days activities in the fresh unpolluted air you will find that sleep comes easy. We have two bedrooms, one double and one with two single beds. The comfortable mattresses and freshly laundered linens will help you drift off into the land of nod. For those of you that like to watch the night sky, the chances of catching the aurora borealis run high from Autumn through to Spring. Don't forget your camera!

No pets or smokers accepted.

Getting around

Driving in the Highlands has an etiquette and ‘code’ of its own that makes the journey safe and enjoyable for every road-user but can seem strange to first-time visitors: Single-Track Roads • Use passing places to allow cars behind you to overtake, as well as to allow on-coming traffic to pass. • Never pull into passing places that are on your right, wait opposite them instead. • Flash your headlights when you reach a passing place to show the on-coming vehicle you are waiting for them to pass.

Interaction with guest

We will meet you at the cottage on your arrival to hand over the keys to the property. We can answer any questions you may have and provide further information about the cottage and the surrounding area. We keep hens on our croft behind the cottage so we can be seen feeding the hens and collecting the eggs (you are welcome to come see the hens when we are there). We can be contacted throughout the duration of your stay if you require any additional help or information.
