The Old School House | House in Carbost
3 Bedroom House in Isle of Skye, Carbost
This Old School, which was last used as such around 1930, has the large original schoolroom equipped with table tennis, darts and other games and is ideal for evenings and wet weather. The cottage is situated on its own (the nearest house is about a quarter mile away) about half a mile above Carbost village, well-known for the Talisker Distillery. There's also a shop, a post office and The Old Inn in the village is known for its very tasty bar meals. You pass The Oyster Shed on the way!
The nearest shopping centre is Portree, about 18 miles away.
Facilities
WiFi; Washer/Drier; Drying room; Freezer; Linen provided; Wood-burning stove; Bath & Shower; Pets with permission.
The sitting room (actually one half of a large kitchen/sitting room) has a wood burning stove (as well as electric heaters and a small storage radiator) and comfortable sofas and chairs providing a cosy place for passing those wet or midgey Skye evenings! There is a selection of books and games as well as playing cards and jigsaw puzzles. There is no television but there is free WIFI which usually works very well and a radio/CD player.
Kitchen
The other half of the kitchen/sitting room is a well equipped kitchen that provides everything that you need to cater for 6 people, except of course food and drink! In addition to full sets of crockery, glasses and cutlery, and a wide selection of pans and utensils the equipment includes:
Large larder Fridge. (There is a freezer in the school room lobby.)
Microwave
A ceramic hob and large single fan oven with grill
Toaster, electric kettle, hand-held electric whisk and electric blender stick.
Tea towels and oven hands
School Room (This takes up almost the whole of the front of the cottage to the right of the central chimney and is accessed through a separate door.)
The large old school room is one of the great assets of the cottage. It has been equipped with table tennis, darts and some other games and toys together with a number of fairly old sofas and armchairs, so it is a great place for children and adults alike to let off steam on wet days. There is also an open fire which warms the hands (of the teacher but not the children!) but is not large enough to heat the whole room.
Bedrooms
There are two bedrooms downstairs, one leading off the other. The first has a double and the second twin beds. Up the stairs (which are steep and narrow) is another bedroom with two single beds. All beds have modern, comfortable mattresses, good quality duvets and pillows and are made up ready for you. The bedrooms have ample hanging and drawer space. There are lots of spare blankets. A cot and high chair can be provided on request. We don’t normally provide bedding for the cot.
