MacNab House, Isle-of-Skye Holiday Cottages

MacNab House, near Talisker Distillery & the Cuillin Hills, sleeps eight people in four en-suite bedrooms. Within walking distance to the pub in the village of Carbost. Sea views of Loch Harport to the front & the Cuillin Hills to the back

MacNab House is ideal for climbers, walkers and ramblers as it is only a short 5 to 10 minute drive to the base of the Cuillin Hills .  The 'Old Inn' in the village of Carbost is our local pub,  where you can have a drink and eat it is only a short scenic walk or a few minutes by car from the house, or, go along to Seamus's bar at the Sligachan Hotel where you can introduce yourself scotch malt whisky from their extensive range of single malts.  At the Talisker Distillery you can join a distillery tour to find out about the making and maturing of a Single Malt Spirit into a Single Malt Whisky.

THE AREA
Surrounding the house is evidence of man farming the land for centuries; the old run-rig system can be seen scarring the land.   At nearby Satran there is evidence of a cleared settlement.  A short walk across the road will bring you to the shoreline where an abundance of wildlife can be viewed. It is also possible to see salmon jumping in the sea-loch before swimming up river Drynoch to spawn. To learn abit about the crofting  history of Skye visit the museum of island life in Kilmuir, for clans Dunvegan Castle, Armadale Castle or Eilean Donan.
