A lovely clean and modern house on a great spot with welcoming and friendly hosts, but also with lots of privacy, even a private beach!All we could wish for during our week at Skye.

Myself and my partner have stayed at the Sheiling Skye in April. We have been absolutely delighted with the property, its location, and the wonderful owners and can’t recommend more. The cabin offers everything that you need for a stay and more. It’s very nicely and comfortably decorated, filled with everything that you need for a few days away including a very nice kitchen, and is located at a very picturesque spot only 15 mins drive away from Dunvegan and about 25 mins drive away from the Neist Point. Sarah is beyond lovely and a very helpful host. Thanks so very much

A perfect place to be with nature. The Sheiling offers all the comforts needed for a perfect gateway. Hosts were so lovely and conscientious of sustainability. The Sheiling is quietly tucked into the hillside overlooking Dunvegan Loch with views of the castle, Coral Beach, Cuillin Montains and the Isle of Harris.
