Welcome to Witchwood House - our Self-Catering Cottage on the Isle of Skye
Witchwood is a large Victorian town house, conveniently situated in the small fishing village of Kyleakin. The photo gallery gives some idea of the beautiful scenery all around. It is reputed that the house was built using stones from the ruins of nearby Castle Moil.
A stay at Witchwood combines the benefits of a traditional property, such as open fires, with modern conveniences such as Sky TV, double glazing and central heating. The spacious living and dining areas provide guests with the opportunity to relax in a pleasant, comfortable and relaxing environment.
Witchwood was until recently a Visitscotland 'three star' bed and breakfast property, denoting a 'very good' quality rating. The owners have ensured that this high standard has been maintained in its current use as a self catering property.
