It’s a great evening for a cheeky g&t at our picnic table overlooking Loch Dunvegan and MacLeods Tables.

Bank holiday weekend and the North West of Scotland is the best place to be… gorse, reed beds, dry sunny weather and MacLeods Tables in the distance.

It’s shaping up to be one of those glorious spells of spring weather coming up- we have last minute availability in our beautiful cabin and loft apartment so why not book a spontaneous break and make the most of this beautiful spell at a lovely quiet time of year?

Just getting the loft apartment ready for guests - what a bright and airy space this is for a relaxing break, especially on a gorgeous sunny day!

Shhh… we have a secret to share- just don’t tell anyone! Spring is beginning to peep through here on Skye and what nobody ever told me is that maybe the best time to visit Skye is March and April- especially if you avoid the school holidays then the island is much much quieter, most places are opening back up and you will miss midge season. Because nobody knows that we still have availability in our accommodation for much of March and April… take a look at our website. Oh and you may get to see the lambs in the fields surrounding us…

An amazing effort with a brilliant result

We are pleased to report that our ongoing search for the missing hillwalker, Dr John Pike, came to a successful conclusion this morning. Dr Pike, who had become immobilised after suffering a lower leg injury on Thursday, had endured two nights on the open hillside above Loch Coruisk. On Thursday night, a wind speed of 95 mph was recorded nearby during storm Otto. Last night temperatures plummeted, and there was fresh snow on the hills. So it was with huge relief that we found him cold, but alert around 10:30am.
Once again, we were supported by our neighbours, Kintail MRT with substantial back up being provided by RAF Lossiemouth MRT, newly formed North Police MRT, SARDA Southern Scotland, Coastguard Helicopter R948, Mallaig Lifeboat, Police Scotland search team and dog handlers along with local Coastguard teams. In total over 50 volunteers and professionals were involved.
We would like to wish Dr Pike a speedy recovery and thank everyone involved in the search and rescue.

We are lucky on Skye to have so many incredible arts and crafts people and loads of our guests love visiting them and taking home gorgeous gifts. However you don’t have to even visit to be able to get gorgeous handmade products from Highland Hiddle, an online marketplace for makers from across the Highlands and Islands. I can’t quite believe that I was lucky enough to win a hamper full of amazing unique products in their birthday hamper draw! www.highlandhiddle.co.uk

We love the wild flowers around Skye- had to look this one up- I think it is a bog asphodel?

One of our lovely guests enjoyed watching the deer, which have been around the accommodation a lot recently, so much that she left us a beautiful hand painted stone for all our guests to enjoy. Thank you!
