Architect designed eco house with stunning loch and Mountain Views

Immerse yourself in nature in beautiful surroundings. Stunning views from glass fronted house overlooking loch Dunvegan, close to Dunvegan village and castle, with restaurants and amenities.
Short drive to dramatic Neist Point, and famous 3 chimney’s restaurant. Coral beach is also located about 30 mins drive or less away the other side of Dunvegan. Staying here you have an amazing view but still close to main roads for the rest of the island. Often staying too far from the main roads means a lot more driving. This location allows you to have the best stay without spending all your time driving.
There is a wood burning stove for cosy evenings with complementary free bag of logs and kindling. Complimentary packet of coffee for cafe Tierre on arrival.
The property itself was designed by Dualchas architects who are a recognised and award winning practice.
The house is angled towards the views to give maximum effect from the landscape. The windows all have views and the house allows for you to feel immersed in the surroundings which is very relaxing and mesmerising. This area is very close to my family's hearts and I feel privileged to have watched nature and the ever changing elements unfold before me. The night skies when clear are incredible and walking just up behind the house can give beautiful views.

Downstairs is open plan kitchen through to dining and living area. There is a tv with Freeview. Internet service is very good as Skye was upgraded about 10 years ago. There is a lot of storage for clothing etc upstairs and downstairs there are shelves where you are able to store goods. There is a dishwasher, induction hob and electric oven.
The upstairs bathroom has a bath and the downstairs bathroom is a wet room. Hot water is supplied by an emersion tank which switches on with the heating. Therefore sometimes it may be necessary to wait for the water to re heat if there have been long showers taken.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

A breathtaking location
My wife, daughter, mother in law, and I stayed four nights in July. The weather was rough, but it didn’t matter as sitting in this beautiful house and watching the rain blow horizontally across the heather was truly lovely.

Safety Concern & No Hot Water
Isle of Skye is beautiful and the home was in a wonderful location; however, I need to give 1 star due to the fact that we did not have heat or hot water during our stay. The biggest concern is safety. We were in constant communication with the host regarding the lack of heat and hot water. The host told us to flip a switch in the fuse control panel. The first few attempts did not work. I decided to not try again before going to bed (even though the host advised that it’s safe) and thank god I didn’t because if I did, the house would have been on fire while we were asleep. I know this We stayed for 3 and didn’t have any hot water until the third night and it was not even enough for the 4 of us to shower.

A beautiful retreat to make home base!
We stayed 3 nights here as we explored all over Skye. The setting is beautiful, with sheep all around to entertain during the downtime. The home is well equipped with everything we needed for our family, including a baby. There was a high chair and a portable crib. Be aware that there is a stair in the main area as well as up to the bedroom. Our baby isn’t able to do stairs yet, so it was fine. Also, the weather was quite chilly and we had planned to do laundry during this portion of the trip. We should have done laundry the first day so there was ample time to dry (no machine dryer). Lastly, wifi information is on the internet box, we never found it while staying.

Comfort and beauty
Bright airy and spacious home with a beautiful view. Sit in the living area and look out for hours at a scene that is like a painting. The bedrooms are comfortable and well fitted with room darkening shades. Great water pressure and good hot showers. Well appointed kitchen. It’s off the beaten path and away from the crowds. Shops in town have more than the basics. Take a walk up the hill behind the house or down to the water after dinner. Lovely

The Timber House
Fantastic location and view. Very relaxing. We have some issues with lights which the host tried to have fixed but we didn't get any feedback and we were without bathroom lights the entire time. It would have helped to have a more extensive information sheet upon arrival. Small things, such as info that the wall heaters are timed to come on and that we didn't have to spend time trying to work them out. Where to buy extra wood; where is the nearest grocery store etc. Little things like that can really help you settle in.

Lovely cottage on Skye
We loved our stay on Skye! The property is beautiful and comfortable but what we loved most of all was the hypnotic views over the loch. So beautiful! Our kids loved playing there and one evening we even spotted a large pod of dolphins showing off in the bay. What an unforgettable experience! Another nice touch is that the cottage is just a stroll from the 3 Chimneys where we had a delicious family meal. Juliet is a very nice host, very responsive and full of good tips to explore the island. I really hope to come back and explore Skye even more. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Well earned rest! Needed to escape and unwind.
This was perfect for us! Much needed break and wowed by the beautiful surroundings. Incredible location close by to attractions such as neist point and coral beach. Great meal at 3 chimneys up the road. Timber house was so cosy and we enjoyed our escape - exactly what was required! Tranquil just to watch the sea, seals and sheep!! Thanks to host for moving dates due to weather and making everything so easy..

Das Haus liegt definitiv nicht zentral. Das liegt aber in der Natur der Sache. Als einziges zu bemängeln war, dass die Heizungssteuerung etwas kompliziert war bzw. keine Informationen dazu Vorlagen. Ansonsten war das Haus sehr schön, es war alles vorhanden was man braucht und die Aussicht ist umwerfend. Definitiv zu empfehlen, wenn man Skyes Natur erleben möchte.
