The Experience

Come to this tranquil spot on the Waternish peninsula for views, light and peace – on a clear day you can enjoy breathtaking, uninterrupted views across the Minch to the Outer Hebrides. The eco-friendly, architect-designed building overlooks a beautiful stretch of coast from Dunvegan Head to Loch Bay; wonderful walks start from your doorstep.

Glazed sliding doors frame the sea and sky beyond, there’s a comfy sofa and a wood-burner to keep you cosy on days when the weather is wild outside. Bring back your catch of the day and cook in the well-equipped little kitchen.

It’s a 20-minute stroll to a good pub – the Stein Inn – for local mussels and scallops on the shore – in summer nip back before it gets dark for spectacular sunsets from the terrace.

Andy, Notingham

We had a great week at the lookout. The location is stunning but it is the care and attention to detail invested in making this a true home from home that marks this out as perhaps the loveliest holiday cottage we have ever visited … Thank you both

Location

The neighbourhood

The Waternish peninsula is packed with places to explore and enjoy. From the Stein Inn you can take a boat trip round the corner of the island and the bay for seals and sometimes dolphins and sea eagles. You can walk to the Michelin Star Loch Bay Restaurant. The nearest village is Dunvegan (a 15-minute drive away), where you will find cafés and shops and Portree is half an hour.

Local points of interest from Lorna & Murray Gray

  • The Lookout is a short walk from the oldest inn on Skye, the Stein Inn, established 1790. Here you can sample fresh locally caught seafood, traditional pub meals and Scottish whiskies and few cottages along is the intimate Michelin Star LochBay Restaurant
  • The sunsets that can be enjoyed on the Waternish peninsula have been named as the best in the world, triumphing over competition from the likes of Hawaii or Bali.
  • The Lookout is an eco-friendly passive house and features an advanced design air recovery system meaning that it is a cosy retreat all year round.
  • Waternish has a rich and colourful history. Visit the medieval church and cemetery at Trumpan, now in ruin, to discover stories of clan feuding, brutal attacks, and try your luck at the ancient Trial Stone.
  • Take a short drive around the coastline to dine at The Three Chimneys. This world famous restaurant has received a host of international awards and acclaim, including Michelin and AA status.
  • Stroll down to the local pier at Stein to and take to the sea with Diver's Eye Boat Trips. The knowledgeable local skipper offers a variety of boat trips from wildlife watching, fishing and days away.

Introducing

Lorna & Murray Gray

Lorna and Murray moved to Skye from Perthshire in 2014, after many years of holidaying here. They had always dreamed of making the island their home, so after much searching, when they found the best location to build a house with the perfect view on Waternish they knew it was meant to be. They’ll be on hand if you need anything during your stay.
