The West Nest

A beautiful home with gorgeous view from the lounge window out to the Uists. The house has everything one could need and location excellent close to village store and the lovely Cafe Lephin. Fabulous.

Wow! I was blown away from the photographs online but this place is absolutely stellar! The fantastic decor aside, you really do have your own little Scottish paradise. The owners have done an amazing job and it's clear they have kept guests in mind for every little detail. My favourite part of my trip was sitting by the fire pit, watching the sunset enjoying a Talisker (double...). Can't recommend enough.

My husband and I had an idyllic stay for Hogmanay, with friendly, welcoming hosts, who truly wanted us to have that experience. The finishings, furnishings and attention to detail were all high end, functional, and calming with no expense spared-we loved the Ishga seaweed soaps! And the showers! The outside is an extension of the inside with those views on top; the valley, hills and sea create an unforgettable landscape with ever changing views as the Scottish weather comes through. Several walks, the local shop or the incredible Skye Weavers are right on the doorstep too. This place is a rare gem.

Just arrived back home from an epic Christmas Break on the Isle of Skye. Definitely worth the drive. The scenery is so beautiful that at times it nearly brought me to tears, as I could not find the words (and still can’t) to describe the breathtaking views of this almost untouched part of the world. We stayed in a beautiful holiday rental called the West Nest. The owners went above and beyond to ensure we have a lively stay, even setting up the most beautiful Christmas tree for us. I cannot fault anything.

I’ve been coming to Skye every year for the last 10 years and The West Nest is by far the best place I have stayed within the Isle of Skye. Not only are the views outside breathtakingly beautiful, so is the inside. It’s beautifully decorated, every inch has been considered. The soft furnishes and lamps add that relaxed vibe that just instantly makes you feel calm and relaxed. The showers are amazing beautifully designed and perfect after a long hike. The kitchen is fully equipped if you’re a foodie with all the utensils and cookware that you would need. I’m already trying to plan my return

Come to breathe the freshest air, watch the sky and sea around you, spot wildlife, walk for miles and come back to an extremely cosy and stylish base. Even if the weather is foul you can watch it all unfold in front of the wood-burner, the views are superb.

It’s impossible not to unwind at the westnest. The silence, the stunning views down the glen to the sea, the occasional soaring eagle, the sunsets. The house! It’s easily the most stylish, well equipped and comfortable accommodation we’ve ever stayed in. From the thoughtful welcome pack to the supremely comfortable beds, to the cosy log burner and the lovely kitchen . We just loved everything about it and we can’t wait to return for more. Thank you.

We’ve always loved the north west highlands but we’ve only come across a couple of places that could truly describe themselves as “luxury”. The West Nest is one of them. The location is absolutely stunning and the situation of the holiday cottage really makes the most of the views over to the Hebrides. The house has everything you could want (including a log burner!) and we were blown away by the beautiful interior design and welcoming touches. As far as self catering goes, the kitchen was a dream to cook in. We loved everything about the house and will be back year after year.
