The Isle of Skye is known for its rugged landscapes and picturesque villages. If you want to escape the worries of daily life and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Great Outdoors, you couldn’t make a finer choice. This splendid holiday home is the perfect base for such an escape. You may long for wildness when it comes to the scenery, but there’s no reason to miss out on the comfort of a cosy home. A modern larch wood house, this home has every amenity you might need. It’s cosy and warm, and instantly feels like home. Best of all, it’s been designed to showcase the stunning surroundings in all their glory. Floor-to-ceiling windows mean that the views of Loch Portree and the Cuillin mountains become part of the decor. You can easily lose hours, just gazing out at the magnificent panoramas that stretch all the way to Ben Tianavaig. It takes just five minutes to walk to the shore of Loch Portree, through the garden that’s filled with wildflowers and young trees. You’ll want to bring your hiking boots as there’s much to explore here. After a day spent hiking, you might sit out in the garden to... watch the sun sink in the sky. Once the stars have emerged, head inside to curl up by the log burner with a dram of whisky – is there any more peaceful feeling?
