Skye
The mystical and stunning Isle of Skye or in Gaelic Eilean
Sgiathanach is a land of stark volcanic rock formation and breathtaking scenery. The Cuillin Mountains form some of the oldest mountains
in Europe and are considered to be the most dramatic
mountain range in Britain. Skye is an idyllic location to explore the romantic
Hebridean Isles and their turbulent Celt, Norse and Scottish heritage all of which have influenced the evolution of this magical
region.
Ardvasar
Oak Tree Cottage is situated in the village of Ardvasar on the Sleat Peninsula of Southern Skye, known as 'The Garden of Skye', due to it's abundance of
trees and greenery and wonderful woodland gardens. The area is a riot of colour all year round, with striking carpets of bluebells
in May and glorious rhododendrons in June and a myriad of wild flowers decorating the countryside throughout the seasons.
There are many beautiful woodland and shoreline walks in the area, where you may catch a glimpse of local wildlife, including
golden eagles, red
deer, seals and otters.
The village benefits from a hotel and local shop. At nearby Armadale, approx 1 mile away, you will find
the Armadale
– Mallaig ferry and a selection of craft shops, restaurants,
filling station and the Island's famous Clan Donald Centre and Museum of the Isles. You can also find a range of hotels, bars
and restaurants throughout the Sleat area.
The village of Broadford is approx 15 miles away and here you will find a good range of local amenities including hospital,
dentists, 24-hour filling station, bank, Post Office, a selection of hotels, bars and restaurants.
Travelling
there
Skye is the biggest island in the Inner Hebrides and travelling there has been made much more convenient by the introduction
of the modern toll free road bridge connecting the island to the main land at the
Kyle of Lochalsh. However for those looking for a more traditional crossing
the ferry from Mallaig is still a most enjoyable option.
