The island is steeped in folklore and history with many historical sites, located nearby. The pier is a 5 minute walk from the cottage, where you will see the local fishermen landing their daily catch. Fresh locally sourced seafood, shellfish and game can be purchased from local Oysterman's shop in Carbost. There are a variety of highly recommended eating places on the island, including the renowned Three Chimneys Restaurant at Colbost, near Dunvegan. The local hotel is a short walk from the cottage, and serves food during the Summer months. Portree, the capital of the island, is only 19 miles away and has a picturesque harbour area and a variety of quaint shops, selling local produce and crafts, as well as a supermarket.
