    The view was great, not to mention Lauren as our host who is very hospitable and helpful. Further the caravan has all one needs, and is especially suited for 2 persons. The garden is great for relaxing when it is dry and there is garden furniture...

Kintyre Caravan is a warm, cosy, beautifully set out self-catering static caravan, which provides the guest with a comfortable stay. The property lies within walking distance of Braes beach, and is close to other world famous attractions such as the Fairy Pools, the Fairy Glen, the Quiraing, the Old Man of Storr and Coral Beach. The property also lies approximately 6 miles from the islands capital Portree, where a whole host of amenities can be found. The host endeavours to provide everything you could wish for on your holiday in the Isle of Skye. Essential items such as constant hot and cold water, tea making facilities and toiletries are provided, along with crisp clean linen and towels for each guest. The caravan boasts a fully equipped kitchen, with refrigerator, microwave, oven, grill, kettle, toaster, and kitchen utensils. The holiday let also provides and iron and ironing board and a hairdryer for when you want to make yourself look gorgeous. The site has unrestricted sea and mountain views, and sits in an elevated position, within the tranquil, rural community of Gedintailor, Braes, on the East Coast of Skye. The caravan is set within delightful and well-maintained garden grounds, which have stunning views across the inner sound of Raasay, Dun Caan, Ben Scritheall and the five sisters. The accommodation is conveniently situated just a short drive from Portree, the islands capital, where an excellent range of amenities can be found, such as shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. The drive is some 6 miles away, which takes approximately 12-15 minutes. Portree Centre also provides banks/ATM machines, places of worship, a pharmacy, a laundrette and parks. The caravan is located next door to the host’s property, but still maintains privacy with the surrounding garden grounds, which are open for the guests to enjoy. Free parking is provided. WIFI throughout. PLEASE LET THE HOST KNOW IF YOU REQUIRE THE SOFA BED TO BE SET UP.
Hello lovely guests! A very warm welcome from us to Kintyre Caravan. Thank you so much for checking out our listing, we really appreciate it. We are new to this whole hosting business, but we are confident that you will enjoy your stay with us in our cosy little caravan. It has everything you need and the views are nothing short of incredible! We moved as a family to the Isle of Skye in August 2023 to start a new life with our 2 young children. We absolutely love it here, and truly believe it is the best thing we ever did. We hope you love it as much as we do! When you arrive at the property, there will most likely always be myself or my Husband in, as we both work opposite shifts to look after our kids. So we will personally meet and greet you, give you the keys and answer any questions you might have. If on the rare occasion we are not in to greet you, we will arrange for the key to be left in a safe place. There is a welcome pack in the caravan for you to read through, but seriously, if there is anything you need, just give us a knock as we are only next door. The caravan sits adjacent to our house, and is set within the garden grounds. So during the hot days, our 2 children and Border collie may be out in the garden playing, but we will try and keep this to a minimum. Hopefully you like kids and dogs :) So, if all that sounds fun to you then please feel free to book away! Best wishes from the Connop family xxxxx PLEASE NOTE- IF YOU WOULD LIKE THE OTHER BED SETTING UP, PLEASE LET US KNOW BEFORE ARRIVAL SO WE CAN DO THIS FOR YOU.
Our neighbourhood is absolutely stunning! The area is rural, surrounded by sea, mountains, beach and animals. Braes beach is just a short walk from the property, which on most days is empty, so it's almost like having your own private beach! The beach is sheltered and sandy, with a shallow slope into the sea, perfect for a dip if you can brave the cold water :) In Braes, there is the An Aird and Coille losal walk. These short walks are set in the heart of the lovely Braes area. Coille losal climbs up through native woodland to visit a waterfall, before a more open return, giving great views across the Sound of Raasay and Ben Tianavaig. The Isle of Raasay is in full view of the property, whereby the Raasay ferry can be seen numerous times a day crossing the Sea to reach the Island. The ferry can be caught from Sconser, and runs all day until late at night. If you are really lucky, you may even spot the odd seal or dolphin! Although no local shops are available, Braes is just a short drive to Portree, where all points of interest can be found. The neighbourhood is simply beautiful, and on clear days, the views can be seen for miles.
