Skye Lair

Beautiful location, peaceful, serene. Wood burning fireplace was a nice added touch for cozy evenings after a day of touring the isle of skye. Hosts made us feel welcome from the moment we entered.

It is not centrally located, but we knew that going in and, if it were centrally located it probably would not been as peaceful as it was.

All very good. I very much recommend. The sheep were very cute.

We loved how modern, convenient, spotless clean the apartment was, with all the necessities covered (the details very much appreciated)! The quality of the accessories. The setting is absolutely spectacular! The rotating armchair was the best spot in the house!

The access road. It took us some time to find it, but Melanie was very kind to provide instructions

Beautiful and peaceful home with a lovely view of the surrounding farmland, hills, and water. The home was spacious and well equipped. We had a great time and ended up spending more time at the house cooking and playing games whilst enjoying the views and the long spring days!

Absolutely everything. Location, kitchen suppliance, cosy blankets etc.

Skye Lair is absolutely beautiful, the views are to die for (from every window of the house and from the yard) and the house is very comfortable and well equipped. It sits on the good part of Skye very close to the ferry. Nearby are some beautiful hikes. The towns around are not much but you come here for peace, quiet and stunning views over green hills with sheep and the sound/sea. And all of those can't be beat. It has a nice little garden our kids played in all the time and the beds are very comfy. Parking is easy and the key is in a little box next to the door. Melanie is a great host although you don't actually get to meet her, which is perfectly fine. She's available through email and quick to respond. We don't write reviews often but Skye Lair deserves a good one. This place won't disappoint and gave us a great Skye experience.

if there is some (with the emphasis on some) criticism to be had it would be that the water pressure in the upstairs shower is a bit low, but it worked nonetheless. Also the outside terrace facing the view is a bit small but that's because the house is build on a hill, so we saw why. And you can sit in the garden too. Furthermore the closest supermarket is a 23min drive (but a very beautiful drive that is) so make sure to have enough groceries with you when you arrive. There's no real bakery close by but the oven works well. Lastly the upstairs bedrooms can get a bit hot when sunny. we were there in April so didn't bother us much. But in full summer you might have to sleep with the windows open. O and you need a car as the location is beautiful, spectacular but not easy to reach without a car.
