This detached property, adjacent to the owners’ home, has been beautifully finished to offer guests a very high quality space that truly lifts the soul.

Enjoy a break away on the Trotternish Peninsula where The Bay is situated, alternatively Skye has three other famous peninsulas as well as the Cuillin Mountains to explore. You will wish you had booked for longer. Shop, pub and restaurant 8 miles.

A well equiped , well designed , and interestingly located cabin. Watching the weather roll in from the sea was fascinating . Sea eagles and lots of other birdlife to view. Warm and comfortable. Definitely recommended.
