Lovely location on the north western side of the island. Easily access Dunvegan Castle, but longer drives to other popular places on Skye (Quiraing, Old Man of Storr, Fairy pools). The beautiful scenery on the drives were worth it. This Chalet was a great place to spend 3 days with lots more room to spread out compared to a typical hotel/lodge room. The hot shower was wonderful after a day of hiking in the cold and rain. The place was very clean and modern. Would highly recommend staying here if you’re planning to visit Isle of Skye.

The Chalet was even better than we expected and Jenny and Carl are wonderful hosts. The setting (the water views and the sunset!!), the decor and the space were wonderful for our family of three (2 adults and one child). The kitchen and dining area is super and much larger than expected. We cooked breakfast every morning and had everything we needed. The location is excellent and very central to everything we wanted to do and see - it’s very easy to navigate to and from the Chalet. The living room and bedrooms are comfortable and the bathroom is a very nice size, everything is modern and the house was SO clean. Jenny thought of many details like the lovely toiletries in the bathroom, sweet treats and coffee and tea for the mornings or evenings. We sure hope we get to visit Skye again and if we do we would love to stay at the Chalet. They have created a very welcoming Chalet that made us feel right at home and very sad to go!
