Directions FAQ’s

We have created a list of frequently asked questions to assist in your journey planning.  For a detailed look at all travel options, take a look at our blog “A Travel Guide To the Isle of Skye”.  Have any questions that we haven’t answered?

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Is there an EV Charger?

Yes, we have an Electic Car Charger at the property.  We charge £10 per day to cover the cost of maintaining the charger and the electricity used.  You can just add it as an extra on the booking form and we will send you a PIN number to use the charger during your stay.

Can I fly to the Island?

No. You can’t fly to the isle of Skye itself however , there are regular flights to several airports within easy reach of Skye. The nearest airport is Inverness which has flights from London and other major UK cities. Alternatively you can fly to Glasgow or Edinburgh and then take a train or bus the rest of the way.

Can I book a taxi?

Yes, there are many taxi services available in Skye.  Please see our Travel Blog which is full of useful information to help you plan your trip.

Is there a wi-fi signal at the house?

The Wifi signal is excellent.  WE have recently installed an EE hub and a new mast has been installed in Culnacnoc.  We often work from Elysium, holding “Teams” and “Zoom” calls with no issues.  Occassionaly during storms the signal can be slow but in general the signal is good.

Can I hire a car locally?

Yes, you can hire a car on the Isle of Skye.  There are a number of rental companies that offer car hire services on the island, including local and international providers. Many visitors find it helpful to have access to their own vehicle when exploring the Isle of Skye, as public transport is limited in this remote area. When booking your car rental, make sure you know what type of insurance cover is included.  Please our blog A Travel Guide to the Isle of Skye for more information.

Do you have plenty of local transport available?

The public transport on the island is very limited.  Some buses leave from Somerled Square in Portree (57) that stops at the main road, a 10 minute walk away from the cottage, but the best way to see the island is by car.

How do I get there by ferry?

Caledonian MacBrayne, offer sailings from:
Tarbert-Uig, Isle of Skye
Lochmaddy-Uig, Isle of Skye
Raasay-Sconser, Isle of Skye
Mallaig-Armadale, Isle of Skye

Given how fast ferry spaces fill up in peak season, we highly recommend booking at the same time as your accommodation.

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened"

What a magical place, with even more magical views!  Grateful to have experienced this one-of-a-kind space on earth.  We had a blast.....

Mollison & Andrew,  16-19 March 2025

After a very busy few weeks...

...Elysium forced us to slow down and at times, stop altogether!  It was quickly hard to resist time at the house appreciating the landscape.  We will cherish the silent afternoons reading and watching the weather roll in.  For the first time on our trip we feel deep rest.  Thank you!

Marijana & Rachel, Sydney, Australia,  23-27 June 2025

Thankyou so much for creating this space...

...in harmony with the wide space outside.  This was the 'jewel' of our long trip; and this piece of Skye goes with us forever in our memories...

Rowena, Newport Sydney, Australia,  13-15 June 2025

What a beautiful place this is and what food for the souls!

We've enjoyed the mesmerising changes in the outlook as the light moved across the land and water!  We were also wonderfully entertained by the little lambs and their mums!  Their gentle movements across the landscape enhanced the sense of peace and groundedness..  Elysium lives up to its name - what a special place you've built in this gem of a corner of Skye.  We've appreciated the detials provided and have been comfortable here.

Roderick from Sydney, Australia,  13-15 June 2025

What at splendid time we had.....

...in your matchless paradise!  Few are the places where you can content to stare our the window and do "nothing" but name the experience of such beauty - this is the one.

We had a wonderful stay and have fallen in love with skye

The landscape is so beautiful and constantly changing.  We have been blessed with sun every day!  The house is fabulous, so warm and welcoming that it's hard to leave it!  We haven't ventured far, but have enjoyed the lovely walks.  Although we don't usually return to the same place, we would love to come back!

Thank you again for a fabulous stay.

Sadly Writing This Means our Stay is Over

We've had an amazing stay, we absolutely love finding new places to visit for that period after Xmas & New Year and this has been an absolute gem.

You've made this place so homely, with pretty much everything you could ever need!  Everyone mentions it, but the ever-changing views are incredible, so many breath taking walks with the most stunning scenery.

We made mornings for big walks, afternoons for reading and staring at the views, and we made use of the projector in the evenings, which is a brilliant addition.  Thanks for having us!

Words Cannot Describe this Beautiful Place

Words cannot describe this beautiful place, it is one that is better described with your own eyes. To say it is magical would be an understatement. We arrived at night, the day after our elopement ceremony, tired and a little stressed from our past few days. However, when we woke the next morning to the amazing view, all of that went away. We could finally find some peace and simply be present. Thank you for sharing this space with us for our honeymoon. We will never forget it.

With Love Kevin & Deidre, October 2024

The Most Stunning Scenery

This place is so lovely, with pretty much everything you could ever need!  Everyone mentions it, but the ever changing views are incredible, so many breathtaking taking walks with the most stunning scenery.

Dave & Suzie, January 2025

Absolutely outstanding

An outstanding cottage and location. As described by Maggie with lots of helpful information beforehand. The standard inside the cottage is exceptional and the views of the sea and sky so mesmerising we found it very difficult to leave. A very special place and well worth a visit.

Anne, May 2024

A wonderful time spent in your beautifully designed cottage

We loved the use of the material, espcially the micro-cement and lime-washed walls.

We are really glad to have chanced upon your cottage on the the internet and so glad to take refuge here amidst the stormy weather!  

Sin Wee & Rae Tong, Singapore, November 2024

What a wonderful wee slice of Paradise

Thanks for letting us share the joy of this cottage.  The interior design is simply stunning, only equalled by the mesmorising views and ever changing skies.  We have loved every moment.  Thankyou 

Anne & James, June 2024

This cottage is the one of your dreams.

Perfectly located in an easily reached but pastoral location. The interior and exterior design is exquisite. So tasteful! Maggie was terrific - responsive and very well organized. The app she links for you is THE best resource I have ever received.

Rodrigo, June 2024

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Elysium Skye and will book again.

I cannot say enough positive things - the house is lovely with amazing scenery, which is visible from the entire house. It is very private, clean, has all the amenities, and Maggie provides a wonderful app with all THE information you could want for visiting, navigating and enjoying Skye as well as everything you need to navigate to the house and use/enjoy it. I consulted this app multiple times a day as it includes links for weather, tides, restaurants, hikes, etc. Maggie is a lovely, communicative, and responsive host. I can’t recommend her home enough.

Mary, June 2024

Wow! We absolutely loved our stay here!

The views are absolutely breathtaking and the cottage perfectly designed.  We had everything we needed for our stay and more.

Thankyou for an unforgettable stay!

Paige & Daniel, Alabama, USA May, 2024
