The Isle of Skye is one of the best known Scottish islands and is particularly famous for its spectacular scenery, dramatic history, diverse wildlife and its unspoilt beaches along with many fabulous restaurants, numerous walking, climbing and mountain biking routes, and a large range of watersports all within an easy drive. A visit to the Talisker Distillery and Visitor Centre, just a few miles from the house, is highly recommended. Here you can try the only single malt distilled on the island.
Take a trip up to the small village of Dunvegan where you can explore the castle and gardens, and from here you can also take a walk along the coastline to visit the Coral Beach, highly recommended whatever the weather. Portree, the island’s bustling capital, is well worth a visit with its lovely harbour and colourful houses, along with a good range of shops, pubs and great places to eat. There are also boat trips, a swimming pool, galleries and tea rooms.
To the north east you will find the Trotternish Peninsula, famous for its dramatic rock formations and cliffs, and to the southern end of the island you will enter the Sleat Peninsula known as ‘The Garden of Skye’. From here you can cross over the Skye Bridge and see some of the spectacular scenery and small villages dotted along this unspoilt coastline such as Plockton, Lochcarron and Applecross to name just a few. The area is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, but the less energetic can just sit back, relax and watch the ever-changing scenery from the comfort of a chair. Wonderful happy memories will be made whilst on holiday at Rowan House. Beach 5 yards. Shop and pub 3 miles, restaurant 13 miles.

Fantastic house in a stunning and idyllic location. Very comfortable and well-equipped. Views fantastic. Dark sky gave a good view of the stars and the milky way. A little remote, but on the plus side you gain peace, solitude, quiet and a lot of wildlife. Good internet and TV service. A good base for exploring Skye.

Nirvana, absolute Nirvana…can’t fault a single thing about Rowan House. Struggled to get to sleep at night because it was that quiet I could hear my own heartbeat pulsing through my ears, honestly the most serene place we have ever stayed. Best stocked kitchen ever. Local facilities are pretty limited but there is a Kool wee shop nearby. Cafe Cuil and The Three Chimneys at Talisker are minutes away and both are excellent. Also good for bird watching…10/10
