    Looking for the best self-catering accommodation on the Isle of Skye? Welcome to Green Pastures, our wonderfully cosy, luxury self-catering croft cottage at Gillen on the peaceful Waternish peninsula on the Isle of Skye, with its stunning views over the sea to Trotternish and the Outer Hebrides.

    Fantastic cottage, perfect for getting away from it all. Cosy but luxurious cottage. Amazing views, especially the snow on the far mountains. Really helpful owners who managed any issues with genuine concern and promptly. Would defiantly go back here again.
