The Experience

Secluded and quiet, this timber-clad shed sits at the foot of MacLeod’s Tables, with stunning views over Dunvegan loch – spot seals and soaring sea eagles, and if you’re extra silent you may be lucky enough to see a shy otter. Inside is contemporary and clean with big windows, tweed curtains, decent lighting, lots of books and a merry wood-burner for chilly days – although excellent wood cladding and underfloor heating will keep you warm, even in the cruellest weather.

Working in the kitchen with its stainless steel units will be a breeze and you’re left a welcome basket to get you started. Eat indoors by the big window with views, or outside when its balmy – you’ll find a barbecue and it stays light forever in summer.

This is pure romance, and the king-size bed with clouds of feathers topped with a Skye Weavers blanket, is tempting – but bring walking boots to earn your total collapse.

We think you'll love

  • All the wonderful wildlife – red deer, herons, cuckoos, eagles and swifts – at night the stars will dazzle, criss-crossed by bats and hooting owls
  • Walking through such glorious countryside, smelling the heather and myrtle, breathing the freshest air, sloughing off your city cares
  • Returning to your beautiful roost – lighting the wood-burner, opening some wine, cooking up a storm

Location

The neighbourhood

Walks from the door are plentiful – puff up the Tables for huge views, or wander down to the loch – you can get really close to the seals and take a picnic, there are views to the little islands. Dunvegan Castle and Garden (three to four miles) is a good day out and the village has restaurants, including The Dunvegan with its wonderful food.
