Situated in the quaint village of Tarskavaig, this calming retreat has huge windows that provide breathtaking views of the countryside and coastline beyond. This is a superb place to rest and unwind, being at one with the spectacular coastal scenery that Skye has to offer.
Inside, the cabin has a minimalist and modern feel, with big windows that flood the space with natural light and connect you to the world outside. Micro-cement floors and underfloor heating add a contemporary luxury feel, whilst the cosy wood-burning fireplace adds a rustic touch and keeps you warm and toasty whatever the weather outside.
Sit with your loved one on the corner sofa as you gaze out at your surroundings or enjoy a movie on the wall mounted smart TV.
