Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Opened in January 2020, the Gate Lodge is a charming octagon with plenty of original character. Warm and well-equipped, it has been completely renovated and sits within the grounds of a working conservation farm.
Strictly No Smoking.
Only a ten minute walk from Loch Bay Restaurant, the Stein Inn, Skyeskyns and Diver's Eye, the lodge is surrounded by nature and wildlife with stunning views. It offers the perfect, peaceful break.
The Farm Tea Room is open Wed, Thur, Fri (see website)

The space
We aim to give you the best holiday Skye can offer. The Gate Lodge is the perfect place for couples to unwind and enjoy the peace of the Highlands. The Lodge has underfloor heating and a wood burning stove to keep guests warm during the winter months. The supremely comfortable Super King size bed is fitted with White Company cotton sheets and the generous bathroom offers a large walk-in shower, a bath, basin and toilet. The kitchen/dining/living area is in the original octagonal part of the Gate Lodge. Guests will have access to certain areas of the farm which specializes in conservation and grassland management. Our Aberdeen Angus herd play an essential part in keeping the wildflower pastures in good condition and the Farm is lucky enough to be visited by corncrakes in the summer months. Waternish is famous for its spectacular sunsets, stunning views and friendliness.

Other things to note
Regrettably, the Gate Lodge does NOT accept children or dogs.
There is a coffee machine with plenty of ground coffee.
The bed is a super king.

Neighbourhood highlights

The magic of Waternish begins with Fairy Bridge, just as you leave the road from Portree to Dunvegan. The spellbinding panorama of Loch Bay leads your eyes to Dunvegan Head, and round to the Minch and to North and South Uist on the horizon. From Trumpan and Geary the views move further north to Harris and Lewis – all these islands being part of the Outer Hebrides or the Western Isles.
Waternish offers more than beautiful views and landscapes. Enjoy the taste of Skye with some of the best fresh local food and drink the island has to offer, as well as some of its leading tourist attractions. Waternish boasts some of the best sunset and night sky gazing locations in Scotland, all of which you can do from the comfort of the Gate Lodge.
