Set at the very tip of the Strathaird Peninsula on the beautiful Isle of Skye, the rural crafting community of Elgol lies at the end of a single track road which runs from the village of Broadford. Quiet, peaceful and amid stunning scenery, Elgol makes a wonderful base for those seeking to get away from it all and rediscover nature. Experienced hill walkers and climbers have a choice of mountain trails to explore, while a picnic by the side of the Loch Coruisk is an ideal afternoon treat. Fishing boats operate from Elgol's small quay, and can transport visitors across the water and past the seal colony. For amenities including pubs, restaurants, shops and a petrol station, Broadford is just 15 miles from Elgol.
Reviews
"It is difficult to overstate how beautiful this holiday rental is. The picture do it some justice but you are still wowed when you step into the property. This is a home that you are invited to share. Everything has been thought of. The problem is it is difficult to tear yourself away from the view, made perfect by the large picture windows. We did not enjoy the best of weather during our stay in August, but with such a beautiful property, large screen TV, music centre to listen to music as the scene changed outside by the minute you where not concerned that it wasn't glorious sunshine every day. The property is at the Elgol village end of a single track lane, and it does take you a few trips up and down the route to get used to passing spaces and who has right of way, but you soon get used to it and it adds to the adventure. If you are going to travel to many of the spectacular sights on Skye then you will need to get used to single track roads. The problem with Asival is that it will spoil you for other holiday rentals that I feel will struggle to match the quality and spectacular view."
