About This House Sit

We require a non smoking couple/2 friends who are active and enjoy the outdoor life. Please do not apply if you want to come on your own as we need 2 people due to safety issues on the croft. We are situated 11 miles from Portree with limited public transport so a car is necessary. We have 4 chickens and 2 ducks who need feeding twice a day, locking in their houses at night and their houses cleaning weekly. We expect our home to be kept in a clean and tidy condition. We have a productive vegetable and fruit garden so some watering/weeding/picking will be required. Our home is situated in the north of the Isle of Skye between Portree and Dunvegan with far reaching views to the Outer Hebrides and easy access to all of Skye's attractions. Our croft land is steep and extends to the shore, a peaceful place where, otters, seals and sea birds can be seen. The house is a modern detached bungalow and sitters have the use of a double or twin guest bedroom. We have 2 lounges, both with sea views, one with a wood burning stove, TV, DVD, radio, superfast broadband wifi and digital piano. The kitchen is large and ideal for those who enjoy cooking/baking. We have books and maps and tourist information to help you make the most of your time here. We are 2 miles from Edinbane village which has a pub and restaurant featured in the Michelin guide. Portree the islands biggest town is 11 miles away with a selection of pubs and restaurants. Our house is suitable for those who enjoy peace and the natural world. Our croft land is steep so requires fitness. Wellies and wet weather gear are advisable. A car is necessary as it is an 11 mile drive to the nearest shop, town, cinema and leisure centre with pool. We expect our home to be treated with care and left as you find it. No, sorry.
