The Cabin

The Cabin is a self-contained extension to the original Croft Bunkhouse, Skye's first Independent hostel. Situated on a 12 acre croft at Portnalong on the west coast of Skye with views over the sea and mountains it is in an ideal location for all outdoor activities.

The Cuillins at Glenbrittle and Sligachan are only a half hour drive away there is a slipway half a mile away for launching boats onto Loch Harport. The local Pub, serving bar meals, is 500m away and there is a local shop nearby.

On a summer evening you can sit outside and witness the sunset over MacLeod's Tables and Portnalong harbour, and if you have had a strenuous day on the hills the same view can be observed whilst relaxing with a well earned dram lying on your bunk, with the top half of the stable type door open . The south-westerly view from the window by the dining table overlooks rough croftland towards Ardtreck and the winter sunsets.

The Cabin is fully equipped for two persons - in the small kitchen/living room there is a built in bunk bed fitted with reading lights and mattresses. There is a folding table and chairs with room to sit and eat. A small electric cooker and all cutlery, crockery and pans etc. are provided to complete the kitchen facilities. Residents have their own en-suite wc and whb with running h & c water, and may use the shower in the 'Bothy Beag'. You can bring your own sleeping bags although duvets & sheet sleeping bags are available on request if required. The cabin is fully insulated to comply with housing standards and provides a snug winter retreat.

Open all year 1 person - £15 per night. 2 people - £24 per night.
