The Experience

Walkers and artists will be inspired here, but if you’re in need of a bit of cossetting and rest then just come. Martin and Charles effortlessly make you feel at home and have thought of everything for your comfort but are delightfully unobtrusive. Take root in the snug with comfy seating, an honesty bar with single malts galore, fresh flowers, lots of guide books and maps, emergency snacks.

Colours are neutral, artworks are local and there’s a Nordic feel to the decor, inspired by the island’s transformation under the Vikings. In the dining room you’ll find a wine rack, beers and drinks. Here you have sumptuous breakfasts with home-baked breads, muffins and cheesecake, tasty smoked carrot lox, eggs from their hens, homemade marmalade and jams. Snaffle what you like for picnics.

Bedrooms (two downstairs, three up) are peaceful refuges with excellent lighting and well-dressed beds, bathrooms sparkle; the peace is palpable.

Reviews

Come to Skye and be incredibly well looked-after in much comfort at this thoughtful place in a quieter part of the island. Fully vegan or vegetarian, the food is all locally sourced and home-cooked or baked, there is care for the planet in a gentle way, and two very kind and interesting owners who love the island and know it well. Then there are castles, distilleries, fabulous walks and cycles.

Location

The neighbourhood

Skye is the ideal playground for those who like the outdoor life – walking, cycling, visiting waterfalls, fantastic views and much history and culture to discover. Dunvegan (2.9 miles) has a good choice of restaurants including The Old School, and from Easter to October the castle is open to visitors. Borrow e-bikes, explore bays, coves and beaches – Coral Beach is 20 minutes, as is the Stein Inn.

Local points of interest from Martin Sutherland

  • Skye is famous for its food - and we’re 20 minutes from three of the best restaurants in Scotland… Edinbane Lodge, Loch Bay, and The Three Chimneys. However, there is so much more to the Skye food scene - check our website for some of our other favourites

Introducing

Martin Sutherland

Martin grew up near Stirling and has a background in the arts; Charles, from Aberdeenshire, has worked in design and education. Interesting and interested, they live in the attached but not connected house next door. They know the island well, are protective of the environment in a gentle way and are happy to engage or leave you to your own devices. This is a deeply considered place to stay.
