White-Tail Croft sits is a fabulous hillside location just a short distance (6 miles) from the town of Portree. The property is architecturally striking and offers open views to the surrounding countryside. With walking available from the doorstep, White-Tail Croft makes an ideal base for a relaxing Wilderness Cottage holiday.
The property is spacious and light, and stylishly furnished in a modern contemporary style. Inside the accommodation is all located on the one level, and consists of a large open plan lounge/kitchen and dining room, two double bedrooms, a sauna/shower room, a separate bathroom, and a small utility room. The master bedroom has an en-suite toilet, which also offers access to the shower/sauna room.
The lounge/kitchen area has a vaulted ceiling, and floor to ceiling windows, ideally placed to take full advantage of the views. Direct access is also available to the exterior decked area to the front of the property. This room also benefits from a wood burner ideal for those colder evenings, however the house throughout has central heating and underfloor heating in the bathrooms, which ensures it is warm no matter what time of year you visit.
The property also benefits from an electric car charger which guests are welcome to use, to avoid the risk of running low on charge in this remote location.
The town of Portree is located just six miles away and offers a good range of facilities for the visitor, including a number of cafes, restaurants, a tourist information centre, and a range of interesting shops, many of which sell artwork by local artists, and crafts and other items which are made on the island, a popular choice being the Isle of Skye Soap Company. The harbour in the town is quite picturesque with its brightly painted buildings, and from here boat trips are available, allowing the visitor to view the local bird and sea-life.
The scenery on the island is quite spectacular and White-Tail Croft makes an ideal base for those guests looking to explore the island. Not far from Portree you will find the region of Staffin, home to the Trotternish Ridge and the cliffs of the Kilt Rock. The area offers some of the most dramatic scenery on the island and is well worth the trip, whilst here why not also enjoy discovering about the history and archaeological past of the island at the Staffin Ecomuseum.
No matter what your interest the island really does offer something for all ages. At Broadford the Skye Serptarium is always popular with younger guests, and the island even has its own distillery. Located at Carbost, Talisker Distillery offers various tours including a tasting tour. For history lovers Dunvegan Castle, the ancestral home of the Chief of the Clan MacLeod, has to be visited. Located in the north-west corner of the island, the castle offers a perfect day out.

What a fantastic cottage!! As soon as we walked through the door, we were blown away by the view from the window. The facilities provided were excellent and the sauna was just what we needed after a day's walking. Portree is only a short drive away, where you can stock up with provisions or have a meal. Although the weather wasn't great while we were there, the changing views over the river were spectacular and really made up for it. It's funny how worried you get when you don't see the sheep and lambs for a while!!! The icing on the cake was seeing an eagle on the side of the road as we left on the final morning. Overall, a wonderful cottage in a great setting.
We had an excellent stay at White Tail Croft 10th-24th May. We enjoyed perfect blue skies for 2 weeks and views of the Cuillin from the cottage and indeed from anywhere on the whole island with the fabulous weather. We eat outside every evening. White Tail Croft is the best equipped cottage we have stayed in during our numerous visits to Scotland and we visit a lot! It was so great to have great quality kitchen equipment, even Le Creuset tea and coffee pots and excellent corkscrew . Following our enquiry with Wilderness Cottages the owners provided a Ninja Stack Air Fryer which was so much appreciated and we used this daily . Other owners should take note and provide their guests with the kitchen equipment they would have at home as everything was thought of. Cushions and beach towels were provided for outside. The bath towels were excellent quality too. A very ECO property from the solar panels to car charger ( which was invaluable) another item other owners should take up) We went on the high speed aqua - marine boat trip from Elgin and saw dolphins, porpoise, seals, puffins and a minke whale that surfaced right in front of the boat. The lambs and rabbits kept us entertained at the Croft and we saw white tail eagles soaring high above. Thank you to Julie at Wilderness cottages who was excellent and to the owners for providing a home from home stay. I can also recommend the local walk up the aerials on a clear day . You can see for miles and miles, the Cuillin, Old man of Storr etc
This is our second stay at this fabulous contemporary property located in a very remote area offering breathtaking views on the hills and the snowy Cuillins in the background. We enjoyed observing wildlife such as golden eagles, rabbits and the sheep grazing right up to the deck. One major feature of this place is definitely the sauna which is an ideal way of relaxing after a day out.
We had a fantastic stay at White-Tail Croft. This well-designed Croft is situated in a breathtaking scenery with stunning views from every room. It's an adventure to stay in this remote area. A real adventure!
It was not the best of weather during our stay but we did trips out every day and it was a pleasure to return to White Tail each evening with the superb and delightful views. Although not for us if you have children there are a selection of games, jigsaws etc There are a lot of mod cons and the plus points for us were Sky tv, good internet, Nespresso coffee machine and a must for me Tesla electric charger for the car. With a quite high spec the one improvement is provide containers for the sugar and tea bags also a supply of normal as well as decaf tea bags
White Tail Croft was absolutely perfect. We visited with our two young kids (2 and 4) and they really enjoyed watching the sheep and cows outside. They also loved the toys which were available. We loved the comfort of a fully equipped kitchen, the sauna, and last but not least the terrific views. We wished we could have stayed another week.
