Set on the north-west of the famous Isle of Skye, the village of Dunvegan is a quirky mixture of traditional stone dwellings and modern houses. With a wide selection of shops and hotels, Dunvegan is only a mile from the thirteenth century castle home of the Clan Macleod – who are said to have had dealings with the "wee folk" at the Fairy Bridge. Also in the area - with fantastic rock forms and pinnacles - are the Cuillin Mountains, which many climbers consider some of the best in the country. The Aros Centre provides a wide variety of concerts, theatre and cinema throughout the year and is well worth a visit, whilst Portree, the island's only town boasts and excellent range of shops, restaurants and hotels, as well as a picturesque natural harbour.

    The property has a wonderful view. You can walk out from the property around the Grenhornish peninsula but it was a bit boggy in December when we visited. The property is very warm and cosy, with storage heaters and a log burner if needed. It is also well equipped for cooking. A great place for a get away break.

    The size and layout suited us just fine. We had our Kayaks and a RIB with us which we found easy to launch on the slip and anchored for the week just offshore. Our phone (Vodaphone) did not have good reception we had to walk around the shore so we could get weather forecasts, but the Mowi guys could on their phones (3 Mobile), so just our bad luck. would we come back, certainly.

    Well equipped, peaceful and views to die for.
