Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Fabulous self-catering apartment for 2 people (+1 small/medium sized dog). This 18th Century cow byre has been lovingly restored by the owners, retaining the original stone walls. An ideal space to get away from it all, enjoy peace and quiet in front of a wood-burning stove, whilst taking in the amazing views from Lochbay to the Outer Hebrides. Near Byre is a 10-min walk (2-min drive) to the Michelin starred Lochbay Restaurant and The Stein Inn.

'Eco' self-catering apartment for 2 people. Close to, but completely separate from the main croft house. Private entrance, parking on site (approx 40 metre walk), open plan, (UK) king-sized bed, fully equipped kitchen, luxury bathroom. Covered porch and access to washing machine and tumble dryer in adjacent utility room.m

Guest access
Exclusive access to Near Byre, which is an open plan living space containing a living area, kitchen with dining table and a bathroom. Guests can also access a washing machine and tumble dryer in an adjacent part of the conversion.

Other things to note
Guests can park their car right outside the byre, if they wish, but it will partially block their view. We recommend unloading luggage and then parking the car just outside the main gate of the house, approx. 40m away.

Lives in Waternish, United Kingdom
Hi there, I moved to Waternish after years of dreaming about living on Skye. I love the outdoors and am a keen hiker. I also love animals and have a lovely gentle dog called Roobarb, 11 sheep (all named) and 2 Kune Kune pigs called Lucy and Linus, who have bags of personality! I enjoy meeting people from around the world and hearing about their culture, customs and lives.
