Roskhill House, is a rare very early example of a large stone built croft house which was built around 1890 in the traditional island style. It enjoys a peaceful country setting 100 metres away from the main road and has ample off street parking. The front garden affords views of Loch Bracadale and Idrigill Point. All bedrooms have king sized beds and have been renovated to a high standard with bespoke furniture, a fridge and an iPod dock to provide very comfortable accommodation whilst keeping the traditional building design and features. The guest lounge, which was originally the village post office, has been refurbished and re-carpeted to provide a more contemporary feel, whilst still retaining the feature exposed stone walls.
