Coorie is a beautiful architect-designed house situated on the edge of the Tormore Forest in Ardvasar. The house offers fantastic coastal views to mainland Scotland and Mallaig. This part of the island is home not just to some of the best scenery that the island has to offer, but also award-winning restaurants and other attractions which will cater for every taste.
Completed in July 2021, this sleek and serene hideaway has it all; eco-friendly air source heating system, under-floor heating in the bathroom, ultra-insulation, Smart TV, WiFi and a wood burner, making it warm and comfortable, no matter what time you choose to visit. Tastefully and stylishly furnished throughout, the property offers contemporary accommodation for two guests. The house has been positioned to take full advantage of the views, with the large windows in the spacious open-plan living area enjoying views to the sea.
The bedroom also looks out to the sea and has a king size bed, and quality bed linen and towels are provided. The bathroom has a lovely double-ended bath and a spacious walk-in rainfall shower. Outside, the patio area has a table and seating, and off-road parking is available.
The Sleat peninsula is also known as ‘the Garden of Skye’, for its lush, green scenery. This is the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature, with many outdoor activities available, including kayaking, shooting and fishing. There are lots of hiking trails to explore some of the islands most beautiful spots, with both coastal and woodland routes available. From the southern tip of the peninsula, the Point of Sleat, there are gorgeous views across the sea to the Small Isles.
There are plenty of attractions for those who prefer to spend time indoors. This is the former territory of the MacDonalds of Sleat, who had their base at Armadale Castle. Here, you can learn about their history at the Clan Donald Centre and meander around its beautiful gardens. Whisky connoisseurs can tour the Torabhaig Distillery and sample some of their “water of life”. Spend the evening with good food and drink at the The Inn @ Àird a’ Bhàsair, only 2.5 miles away from Coorie.
Living in such close proximity to nature, protecting the planet is important to the islanders of Skye. The family team at Scouting for Buoys collect washed-up items from the shore and turn them into beautiful works of art. Meanwhile, the well stocked Armadale stores (3 miles away) offer plastic-free refilling stations for a variety of products and freshly baked bread brought over on the morning ferry from the Mallaig Bakehouse.
Despite being a peninsula, Sleat is an excellent base for exploring Skye and the Western Highlands. There is easy access to the rest of Skye and its world famous attractions, including the Cuillin Mountains, the Quiraing and the island’s largest village, Portree. Coorie is only a few miles south from the ferry terminal, where you can take a short 30-minute ferry to Mallaig, known for its breathtaking beaches. From here, there are onward connections to Fort William, the West Coast and the isles of Eigg, Muck and Rum.

We had a fabulous stay at this wonderful property! Spotlessly clean with a comfortable bed, luxurious bathroom and kitchen/living/dining room with outstanding views and every thoughtful touch you could wish for. Watching dolphins and eagles from the window was a huge bonus and privilege. We'd love to return!
A perfect retreat with wonderful views and a great location off the beaten track. Well equipped house with everything you could need and plenty to see and do nearby. Will definitely return.
Coorie is an exceptional holiday home - immaculately presented and very well appointed. It sits in a fabulous location off a single track road with the occasional passing car - the perfect location for some R&R - we absolutely loved it. Snowfall midweek curtailed some of our planned walks but gave us a fine excuse to spend more time at Coorie gazing out from the panoramic windows at the ever-changing views. Would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful autumnal week at Coorie, our warm and beautiful base for exploring the Sleat peninsula.
The views from the house are wonderful and it's the perfect place to come back to after walks to the Point of Sleat, around Kinloch Forest or further afield.
We had one very big issue with Coorie - we had to leave it! What an amazing holiday property. On arrival Coorie was spotless. We have been extremely comfortable and warm. We've loved nothing better than sitting at the dining table with a drink enjoying the incredible views. The bed is comfy (we slept so well), bathroom very luxurious and lounge/sofa very cozy and comfortable. We love everything about Coorie including the decor and furniture! This was our first time to Skye, we love the local area and we've had an amazing holiday. We were unbelievably lucky with the weather and had thirteen days of sunshine out of fifteen days. A wonderful holiday property and we'd love to go back someday.
This was our 3rd visit to Coorie which tells you just what a wonderful place it is. As we walk through the door we feel ourselves relax and unwind its starting to feel like a second home. The view from the windows is ever-changing whatever the weather. Coorie is very well equipped incredibly warm and comfortable. There is plenty to do on Skye,we swam in the sea at the white sand beach at the tip of the Sleat peninsula,and saw an eagle flying over Coorie
We have already rebooked for our 4th visit,can't wait
