Situated in the beautiful Waternish peninsula with uninterrupted views to the Outer Hebrides, No. 6 is a fantastic spot for sunsets and scenery. Lots of local walks on your doorstep. A 10 minute walk from your door to the beach. Renovated and refurbished to a high standard, No. 6 is exceptionally well equipped with a focus on quality and your comfort in mind. We've not thought of everything - but we have tried! An ideal space for grown ups to relax, unwind and enjoy. Sorry - no children allowed at No. 6. UP TO TWO WELL BEHAVED DOGS ARE PERMITTED ON REQUEST BUT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED ON BEDS.
I've lived in Skye for 30 years. I retired a few years ago and love being out and about with my dogs in the local area. We let out my husband's family home - No. 6 - as a luxury self catering property. No. 6 has been a really personal project for me as this is my husband's old family home and it holds a very special place in our hearts. It was always a home filled with warmth and love and we look forward to welcoming old friends and new to the little house that gives you a hug. Sorry, but we are unable to accommodate children at No. 6.
No. 6 is located on a working croft. There are sheep, cows and chickens nearby. We have uninterrupted views to the Outer Hebrides and enjoy peace and quiet with sensational sunsets thrown in. We are at the tip of the peninsula so there is not much passing traffic, however there may be an occasional tractor or quad bike which are essential for feeding the animals. There is no public transport so a car is required. There are plenty of walking opportunities either direct from No. 6 or a short drive will take you to beaches, forestry tracks and other walking opportunities.
