About this property

Broadford 4.3 miles. The Pod at Greenbank is a picturesque single-storey pod tucked away in Kilbride, Isle of Skye. Views include the Red Cullin mountain range and the striking Bla Bheinn ridge, Blà Bheinn, also known as Blaven, is the magnificent mountain you can see directly from the Pod and is one of Skye’s most spectacular natural landmarks. With off-road parking for two cars and a front decking that frames uninterrupted countryside views, this remote hideaway is designed for couples or solo travellers seeking a true walkers’ paradise. You'll know you've arrive at your home-away-from home when you're surrounded by rugged mountain landscapes and tranquil countryside.

Kilbride comprises a handful of houses where sheep and cows wandering freely is a common sight. Wildlife includes garden birds, red kites, rabbits, deer. Kilbride is an excellent base for walking, for different levels of experience. There are shorter walks to the shoreline, to the neighbouring area of Torrin; and longer walks to the Highland clearance villages of Suisnish and Boreraig (on the Skye Trail) for the more experienced walker. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully arranged studio-style layout, where the sitting area invites you to pause after a day on the trails. The compact kitchen, equipped with a two-ring hob and microwave, makes preparing simple meals a breeze.

A double bed awaits your night sleep, as the convenient shower room completes the interior, ensuring everything you need is close at hand. Outside, mornings begin with coffee on the decking as the Highland air drifts in, and evenings bring starlit skies that feel almost within reach. Beyond the pod, adventure calls. Head to Broadford, just over four miles away, for local shops, welcoming pubs, and shoreline walks along Broadford Bay. Journey to Elgol, where dramatic sea cliffs and boat trips to Loch Coruisk promise unforgettable encounters with nature. For a taste of history and culture, make your way to Portree, the island’s vibrant hub, with galleries, harbour views, and eateries serving fresh local fare.

Whether you’re tracing coastal paths, climbing peaks, or simply soaking up the serenity, this setting offers endless opportunities to explore. At day’s end, return to The Pod at Greenbank in Kilbride and let the stillness of the Highlands complete your escape.
