School House, Dunan is an historic semi-detached cottage on the waterfront on the Isle of Skye. Once the main primary school for the area, it has been changed into a lovely relaxing holiday home with amazing views.

Through the back door there is an utility room, ideal for leaving muddy boots! There is also a washing machine and tumble dryer too. The hall then leads to a well appointed kitchen with electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, and microwave. There is a folding table with 4 seats to enjoy family meals.

The lounge is light and bright with ample seating for 4 people. There is a TV with Freeview, DVD player, multi-fuel stove for cosy evenings in and fantastic sea views. WiFi is available throughout the property.

Upstairs there is a double bedroom with sea views, wardrobe and bedside tables as well as a twin bedroom with wardrobe and chest of drawers. The family bathroom has a bath, walk in shower, W.C. and wash hand basin.

Outside, the cottage is surrounded by a grassy garden and a fence/stone wall within which there is a gate giving access to the pebble beach below. The views over to the Isle of Scalpay and along the coastline are stunning!

There is private parking to the rear of the property.

Location and house are OK but parking is tight

The main issue is the ktichen contains the table for dining. There is not a lot of room then. Since there were only two of us, we rolled up the rug in the sitting room and stored it by the back door, and moved the table and chairs into the sitting room – but it’s a tight fit. The dishwasher is the noisiest I have ever heard – and most things needed to be dried by hand after the cycle had finished. The hob is old by modern standards – ie it does not cool down quickly when the heat is reduced, and the numbers can hardly be seen. Parking may be a problem for some as the track down to the house is steep. If you drive in then getting out either involves reversing out round a very tight steep corner with a narrow gate, or reversing the 50 yards to near the junction with the main road. I found the easiest thing was to drive down to the Old School, turn there, drive back up the hill, and then there is a reltively easy nearly straight reverse downhill through the overgrown gate into the parking area.It will be a very very tight fit for two modern chunky cars

Cracking cottage in superb setting

My wife and I stayed at the School House for a week. It was quite easy to find, the drive can be a bit tricky but I found reversing onto the parking area worked well. The house was lovely very clean, tidy and warm. The location on Loch Na Cairidh was fantastic. The hedge is a bit high but sitting on the garden table gave the view over and there is always the direct access to the loch side from the garden. The place oozed history with the original wooden floors and stairs. Plenty of pots etc for guest use and everything we needed. Thanks
