Karinya Crossal Cottage
Karinya is in a fantastic location for visiting Skye. Out of the hustle of Portree, it sits with a view toward the Red and Black Cuillin Hills. There is a brand new sauna downstairs, a fire in the living room and a well thought out layout with a BBQ available on request outside. Located 15 minutes from the Talisker distillery and about 20 minutes drive from the Fairy Pools on the main circular road around the north end of the island. Only 2.5 miles from the ever popular Sligachan, which is a central point for embarking on any walk or expedition in the Cuillin Hills. Ideal for your exploration of Skye and venturing into the mountains, or indeed to get away from normal life. We are delighted to add Karinya to what we can offer here on Skye. Pets require prior approval.

Stayed here on a tour through the country, extremely comfortable and cozy home and can’t beat the views. If I were to visit Scotland again, would definitely want to stay here again
While not in town, we enjoyed the beautiful home, the location to visit Skye and the surrounding countryside. Home maybe not be for the people who want a town experience, but it is a beautiful and comfortable home for the tourist.

Excellent Location
Spacious home with excellent location. Very clean and comfortable. Great for families.
House was spotless and comfortable. Kitchen had everything needed to make a couple of great dinners and the location was perfect for us. Highly recommend!!
A wonderful charming home in the heart of Isle of Skye
My family had a beautiful stay at this wonderful home! Very close to the ferry pools and talisker distillery. The house was comfortable, clean and had all of the amenities that you would possibly want, including a sauna. Would highly recommend staying here!

cottages was lovely it meet our needs. It was lovely that each each master bedroom had its own ensuite. The kitchen was well equipped with plates etc the only issue is found in the kitchen was the can openers did not open cans.
The views are amazing the space is relaxing, overall the cottage is good option. Portree is a nice place however you will require car to commute to town.

Highly Recommend
This was a great place to stay, especially with small children. It was a very safe environment for us to be cooking or relaxing while the children played. The location being so central meant minimal time in the car for the kids while we travelled around the island. We had a big storm while we were there and we felt very secure. The staff were excellent and were available on the phone whenever needed.

Vacation stay
Loved the house. Very comfortable with all the amenities. We especially loved the heated floors. It rained hard one day so we had a wonderful stay in day and watched the mountains from the front room windows.

Great stay at Kainya Crossal Cottage
Great place to say for a few days when visiting Skye! The Cottage is in very good shape, great rooms and a shared living room. It has all the necessary amenities and more, really convenient. It is located close to Talisker Distillery and the Fairy Pools if you want to hike. Next to that you can visit many more places on Skye or go to the local pub/restaurant in Carbost to have some proper food and drinks!
Great place to stay!

Comfortable house in a beautiful setting
We spent one week in this house. There was reasonable access to Portree and activities on the south end of Skye. The furnishings were functional and adequate for 4 adults. Although close to the road, the traffic noise was not noticeable as the property is well-above the road. Would definitely book again.
Spacious modern house off the busy roads but still conveniently close to Portree and easy route to Dunvegan. Very polite and professional management contact. Plenty of room for family of four. Super-nice showers, laundry room, kitchen, and nice extra touch of a sauna after a hike. And incredible views right out the front door.

FABULOUS
Just back from a break in Karinya Villa ,
This property was more than 5 star absolutely stunning , there’s nothing you need to take as everything is provided the only thing is yourselves,
We never met the host Ben , but he was in constant contact with us amazing,
Thank you so much to the Team , I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to book this accommodation , well done everyone 😉Xx
Located 30 minutes outside of Portree, this house was perfect. Nice kitchen, 3 full bathrooms, plentiful eating space, and 3 bedrooms! Clean and cozy!! Great communications with the manager. Only negatives were that it was tough to find (no street signs or village signs) and we were not able to use the windows because there were no screens. Thank you for your hospitality. We loved it!!

We could not have been happier with our stay at this house! It was our family of four, and we spent four nights. We hiked during the day and all enjoyed the sauna and bathtub at night. The house had a beautiful view of a sheep farm across the street and a waterfall and mountains. We built fires in the stove at night and had a fantastic vacation. We drove in for dinner's in Portree, which was about 20 minutes away. It was really nice having quiet time and being away from all the people in the evening. The house was well equipped and felt big with the open floor plan. The furniture was comfortable. Thank you for the wine which we enjoyed. My family gives it FIVE STARS! We sure enjoyed your beautiful home.

Lovely Spot
Location is excellent and the house fit the 6 of us comfortably. Pictures make it look much larger than reality but space sufficient. Two improvements would be helpful - we had 6 people and number of glasses and basic dishes were exact at six or a little less in some categories, which was inconvenient. The house was heated, but actually too well heated. We could not reprogram the thermostats in each room and were uncomfortably hot. So basic printed out instructions on systems would’ve been helpful. The small iPad that was left which presumably had these instructions was not charged and we could not figure out the charger. These are all simple fixes for what is a wonderful rental property.
There was a problem with the clothes dryer not working, but it was quickly resolved, otherwise the stay was perfect. The location and view from the front lawn helped make our trip. Thank you!
The house was so lovely and cozy!! It had so many really nice features! The beds were comfortable and nice linens. Kitchen was very well equipped also!! Loved that tea kettle! It was so nice to come home to a comfortable warm place from hiking out in the cold all day! We loved sitting around the fire in the evening. It was so cute and spacious. My son used the sauna and said it was great. I don’t know if there was something wrong with the dryer but our clothes never dried in it so we just hung them on the rack. We couldn’t get the bedroom tv to work and found no instructions for it which was a small thing. It was so quiet and peaceful there! Such a lovely view also! We loved our stay here so much!! Thank you!!
