Sleeps 4 - Wood Burning Stove - Sorry No Pets Allowed

Tigh-na-Craobh (The Tree House) is a contemporary house, designed by award winning architects and finished to the highest standards.  Beautifully situated, the house is the perfect base to explore the Isle of Skye and can be found in a quiet spot on the east coast of the island, six miles from the capital Portree.

The house has a large open plan living area, two bedrooms - one with en-suite shower room - a family bathroom and a separate utility room. The double-height living space incorporates the kitchen, dining and sitting areas and enjoys views to the surrounding hills and woods.  A log-burner provides heating and a focal point, and the French doors give access to a timber deck.  The kitchen has integrated appliances including fridge, freezer, dishwasher, oven and hob and the living space has a big comfy sofa and two armchairs.

Downstairs, the double bedroom has a king-size bed, wardrobe area and an en-suite shower room with under-floor heating and a walk-in shower. Upstairs is a twin room with views towards Raasay and a built-in wardrobe.   The family bathroom also has under-floor heating and a double ended bath with shower over.  The small utility room has a washing machine and provides additional storage. Outside, there is parking for two cars, a timber deck with seating and a barbecue and a large private garden with access to the river.

Wine, coffee and biscuits are provided as a welcome pack, and you’ll also find guest soaps by Isle of Skye Soap Co. in each of the bathrooms and a basket of logs by the stove.

Skye is a popular tourist destination and offers a wide range of attractions and outdoor activities for all.  There is much to explore in Braes itself with seaside walks, hill walks and a wealth of wildlife and heritage to discover.  Deer, eagles, otters and other wildlife are commonly seen from the house.  Further afield, Portree provides a range of shops, bars and restaurants and Sligachan is an ideal place to walk in to the Black or Red Cuillins.  The rest of the island is readily accessible.

The house is very beautiful and well kept. We were really impressed with how well stocked it was, it had everything we needed and more. It was really warm and cosy, the seating was perfect for relaxing- super comfortable sofa. Thank you for the wine, coffee and biscuits - all delicious and really thoughtful. We had a brilliant time, the house is well located to visit all of Skye. Would definitely recommend, and recommend Wilderness Cottages - every property we rented through this company have been outstanding with great customer service.

As we arrived at the Tree House a Golden Eagle lifted up into the trees and flew off as we entered. What a welcome! A beautiful house in a beautiful setting among trees and fields with sheep. The single lane track leads further down to a nice beach. We explored Trotternish, the area around Dunvegan, Talisker and Carbost and when it was raining we spent some time in Portree. We thoroughly enjoyed our time which was way too short and would happily come back.

We had a wonderful stage at Tigh-na-Craobh. It is in a lovely peaceful position and very central for exploring Skye. The kitchen was well equipped and very organised and clean. We enjoyed cooking there each evening. The bathrooms were also very clean and the showers had plenty of hot water. The whole standard of the house was very impressive. We arrived late and had informed Wilderness Cottages. It was great to arrive after midnight with the lights on and welcoming us in.

The Tree House was extremely clean and modern. No carpets and large windows. The hosts did everything to make guests feel comfortable. A lovely welcome package with shortbread and wine, games, a wonderful wood stove and a well equipped kitchen. And well located, near Portree but in the countryside and near the see. We loved staying at the Tree House.
