“The Cúil” is a brand-new, opulent, modern one-bedroom studio apartment.
In Scots Gaelic, “cúil” denotes “nook,” “nest,” or “corner.” Since we have made a cozy nest for two people on the corner of our croft, we felt that this was a fitting name for this area.
One king-size bed, a dining area and seating area, a small kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, and two-burner induction range, and an opulent shower room with a mains pressure rain shower and a Fired Earth limestone floor are all included in the open-plan studio. An elevated private sundeck area with breathtaking views is another advantage of the Cúil. The studio is flooded with light from the large sliding patio doors, and the king-size bed provides a comfortable place to enjoy the views.
The bedding consists of a waffle duvet cover and sheets made exclusively of cotton. Along with the hair dryer, freesat smart TV, USB and Type C charging ports, free WiFi, and a portable Bose Bluetooth speaker, we also provide waffle robes and slippers.
A couple of love seats are available on the terrace for enjoying a coffee in the morning or a sundowner as the evening light fades. To keep you warm, blankets are available for use outside on the sundeck.
You are welcome to use our collection of walking guides and information about the Isle of Skye’s tourist attractions while you are visiting.

We are happy to offer Warden at Bull Point Lighthouse, North Devon, in collaboration with Trinity House.
Bull Point Lighthouse has been directing ships to safely cross this striking promontory since it was first built in 1879. With the assistance of the lighthouse keepers who resided here, 93 incident-free years elapsed before the Principle Keeper detected ground movement in 1972, which led to a partial collapse of the engine and fog station and the fall of 15 metres of cliff face into the sea.
Much of the old equipment was used in the construction of the replacement lighthouse, which is still visible. However, it is now automated and managed remotely from Trinity House’s Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex. Unfortunately for the lighthouse keepers, but fortunately for the rest of us, all four of the cottages have been remodelled with opulent mattresses, linen, and towels, well-appointed kitchens, and cosy sitting areas—all fittings for the 21st-century traveller. Even WiFi has lately made it to the site, despite its isolated location. Naturally, it’s not always as dependable as it is, especially when a storm is approaching!
