The Experience

Wildlife fans will spot whales, dolphins, eagles, seals, otters and deer; wander through tall grasses sprinkled with bluebells, wild garlic and rare orchids. Stride over stunning hills, cycle your socks off, fish from the shore – there’s much to do and see from your award-winning architect-designed retreat on the hill. Inside is equally invigorating: floor to ceiling windows for long and wide views, a crisply dressed bed, super shower room, a sofa facing the sea and a sleek kitchen on the side.

You’ll feel very private: lovely Ian and Robbie are just down the hill but you can’t see them and they can’t see you. Instead they leave you alone with tasty biscuits and a good bottle of wine. If it all sounds too rustic for you then take heart! There’s a widescreen TV with Sky, WiFi, and a smart music system – even if it’s raining you’ll feel happy here.
Treat yourselves to a meal out at The Three Chimneys, a 10-minute winding drive.

Reviews

Linda, Warwickshire

We had a fabulous week at An Airigh, a special private hideaway set in beautiful surroundings. Overlooking Dunvegan Loch with stunning views, it's so relaxing just to take it all in and watch the wildlife. The house is lovely, spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable, very well equipped with some nice touches such as locally sourced bathroom toiletries and welcome treats. Thank you Ian and Robbie for being great hosts, we had a wonderful time and will definitely be back.


Peter, Bridgwater

What a beautiful place to stay! For something a little different and out in the wild, An Airigh fits the bill superbly. Everything you need is there, all high quality, ensuring a comfortable stay with a luxury feel. As for the scenery, we enjoyed watching dolphins swim down the loch in the evening and saw sunrises that were breath-taking! Ian and Robbie, despite the difficulties caused by the lockdown, had made sure that everything was completely safe and well-organised and were on hand for us if we needed them; lovely hosts who we sincerely hope to see again - we will want to go back!


Sadie, Birmingham

We Stayed at An Airigh on the Isle of Skye from 16th-23rd November 2019. We highly recommend anyone to stay here. It is a hidden gem. Without doubt the most tranquil and relaxing beautiful accommodation. An Airigh has all the luxuries you need, is immaculately clean, with breath taking views. Attention to detail is second to none. Ian & Robbie are exceptional helpful, friendly and are at hand if you need anything. We would love to visit the Isle Of Skye again and have no hesitation on staying here again.


Adrian, Cambridge

Loved both Skye and An Airigh. Would heartily recommend. Designed by award-winning architects. Well furnished. A stupendous view. Attention to detail. Robbie and Ian are lovely too.


Anke, Munich

An Airigh was a dream come true. Ian and Robbie are perfect hosts and made sure every detail was attended to and were always there to lend a helping hand. The house itself is just as depicted and to say it's spotlessly clean would be an understatement. Heavenly to look out onto the sea, the ever-changing skies and the wandering sheep down by the cliff. A perfect house in a perfect spot !


Location

The neighbourhood

Galtrigill is a small crofting township beside Loch Dunvegan - it's pretty much the 'end of the line' so there's no passing traffic. The nearest village shop, post office and the lovely Café Lephin is at Glendale, a 15-minute drive. Dunvegan is 25 minutes for Fasgadh Stores, the Fruit and Nut Place, a good bakery and The Dunvegan for informal, relaxed dining.

Local points of interest from Ian McLean

  • We are a short drive away from The Three Chimneys Restaurant
  • Dunvegan Head is a short 1 hour walk to the highest sea cliff on Skye with stunning 360 degree view of the Western Isles, Macleods Tables, The Cuillin and the Trotternish Ridge.
  • Neist Point - There is a Lighthouse and rocks reputed to be same formation that reaches over to the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland. It’s a great place for fishing, wildlife such as dolphins, whales and sea birds as well as glorious sunsets.
  • Dunvegan Castle - Is Scotland’s oldest inhabited castle: you can explore the grounds and the beautiful walled garden. From there you can take seal boat trips.
  • Coral Beach - The white sandy beach is directly across the loch from An Airigh, made from unique calcified seaweed. It’s a beautiful natural place whatever the weather and the clear water looks so inviting. During very low tides you can cross the causeway.

Introducing

Ian McLean

Charming Ian and Robbie, great lovers of nature, swapped their London city jobs for a complete lifestyle change and are now crofters. They have Hebridean sheep, a vegetable garden with polytunnel and they planted the meadow in front of you as well as many trees. They came to Skye for the landscape, the wildlife and hill-walking and they hope you love it as much as they evidently do.
