Head In The Skye - Healabhal Cottage
Healabhal Cottage is tucked away in the most scenic corner of Skye. It offers the perfect mix of a secluded spot with an unbeatable view over the sea, while being easy and short distances to so many amazing sights, and restaurants, (including three Chimneys & dunvegan). Healabhal is the perfect spot to enjoy everything that Skye has to offer. Enjoy our open living home, with a log fire. We understand that dogs are a member of the family, so we are dog friendly for up to 2 well behaved dogs.
We are a family run holiday home. We live in Scotland and after visiting Skye for the first time we fell in love. Our Cottage offers stunning scenery and is a short distance from many of Skyes top attractions and restaurants. We look forward to you falling in love with Skye as much as we have.
