Situated in a truly stunning location, The Old Church at Torrin boasts fabulous, panoramic views of Loch Slapin and Blaven, the most photographed peak of Skye's world famous Black Cuillin.

Sympathetically converted in 1992, The Old Church is a cottage full of character, providing a high standard of accommodation for up to eight people . There are four double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and the quality fitted kitchen is complete with oil-fired Rayburn oven, and all modern conveniences including a washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher. The cottage also has a dining hall and a cosy reading room and a sitting room with picture window, giving stunning views of the Blaven Ridge.

"Conceive these mountains if you can - rib them with gleaming waterfalls, paint them with ever changing hues and fill the intervening spaces with gorges, ravines and glens, dashed with purple gloom and abysses filled with steaming mists, and you have some idea of the wondrous Cuillin." C.R.Weld, 1859.

Please Note: The Old Church is brand new to the holiday rental market - August 2007.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
