Our Holiday Accomodation in Skye

Renovation

To keep the character of the cottage v-lining has been used to revamp the living room and main bedroom. Oak flooring has been laid on the bedroom, living room and front hall floors, while slate is in the kitchen, bathroom and back hall. Bark-edged sycamore has been used on all window-sills and the window seat in the main bedroom. The internal doors are barn style with latches.
