A generous farmhouse style kitchen opens onto the pretty walled garden with its ancient apple and pear trees. The inviting open fire in the sitting room is perfect for relaxing after busy days eagle or whale watching around this spectacular coast
Dramatic sunsets are beautifully framed from the sea view windows of the front rooms. The bedrooms are large and light, decorated throughout with local art and photography. This traditional island house has a comfortable relaxed feel – an ideal base for exploring the world famous wildland nearby, as well as the whole beautiful Isle of Skye and enjoys stunning views of the Western Isles. Despite its secluded location, the Lodge is just 5 minutes stroll from the local shop/PO and cafe. Award winning or family friendly dining is available locally; adjoining deer fenced young woodland is perfect for dog walking (and kids love seeing cows, sheep and geese at a safe distance in the surrounding fields).
