About the home

Welcome to our house! The comfortable large living room has panoramic views across to the Western Isles through large windows. The house is equipped to entertain children and adults alike with a few DVDs & videos, books, games and binoculars. The kitchen comes fully equipped with a large fridge/freezer, microwave, washing & ironing facilities, and all the usual kitchen utensils. For those lovely summer days and evenings we have provided an outside seat for your use. The utility room is accessed from the kitchen and has a sink and ample hanging space for those wet or dirty clothes and boots. We also provide a clothes airer.

Skye is renowned for its impressive mountains for all levels of walker and climber. Within a short drive from the house is the well known Quirang area where rocky outcrops provide a fantastic backdrop for any budding photographer. The local wildlife includes various species of whale, porpoise, and seals, sea eagles, hares, otters, plus many other exciting species such as the basking shark. This is the best location you could imagine for photography, drawing and painting, cycling, walking or just gazing at the views.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The house has 2 single beds and 2 king size beds and a double futon. There is an ensuite on the ground floor for one of the king bedrooms. Access into the house is by way of 2 low steps and is easily navigated by those with walking difficulties. A cot and high chair can be provided on request at time of booking. A large, washable dog bed is also provided just in case you have forgotten yours - it does happen! All linen and towels are provided, as is the heating and electricity.

We respectfully request that you keep your dog out of the bathrooms and bedrooms, and only allow a clean & dry dog in the rest of the house. The kitchen and utility make up a large space that can be used by your dog.

All paintings are for sale and have been painted by David MacKenzie, a local artist. Further details can be found in the Welcome Pack in the house.

Further details outdoors:
The garden is reasonably secure and we request that you keep your dog under control even in the garden as livestock are kept in the adjacent fields surrounding the property. Please be a responsible dog owner at all times. We also request that you pick up after your dog even in the garden to ensure a clean and safe environment for all visitors to West View.

Only one dog is permitted per booking at any one time.

If you want to bring your bicycle with you, please do, as there are lots of great, quiet roads in the area. We also have an old croft house in the garden that can be used to store your bikes. Please let us know on the booking form if you need bike storage.

The Hebrides / Skye / Isle of Skye region

Our beautiful house is situated on the northern coast of Skye, 30 minute drive from Portree. This is an outstanding location for bird and wildlife watching, marine activities, including scuba diving and nearby boat trips. Alternatively, this house would also suit anyone wanting a quiet get-away. The house provides everything you may need for a sunny or rainy day!
If you have never been to the Isle of Skye, here is what you should expect…………….. hill walking, climbing, cycling, outdoor activities and lazy days in a fantastic location (for those who wish to take it easy!).

The Bornesketaig area

Close by you will find several restored Black Houses with their original thatched roofs and native Highland Cows.

In the village of Uig, 10 minute drive away, you will find the Isle of Skye Brewery, various local pubs where meals are served, and the ferry terminal for the Outer Hebrides.

You will find a swimming pool in Portree along with restaurants, pubs, cafes, fish & chip shop, clothes shops, jewellers, book shops, craft shops and all the other facilities you would expect in a large village.

Further a field, the Isle of Skye offers everything – art galleries, boat trips to Raasay and Rona, diving trips, glass bottom boat trips, guided walks, pony trekking at Suledale, the Talisker whisky Distillery, golf courses at Skeabost and Sconser.

Come onto Skye, over the (free) bridge (no ferry, unless you come onto the island via the Mallaig/Armadale ferry), and keep heading north towards Uig (where the ferry goes to the Outer Hebrides). From Uig head for Kilmuir, up the hill behind Uig. Keep on this road, passing the Whitewave Outdoor Centre on the right - with the wind turbine, 2 white churches and the Iron Age Souterrain. You then turn left, sign posted for Bornasketaig. Head down this road for a short distance, before the cattle grid there is a gravel track on the right, go to the far end of this track and you will find the house - WEST VIEW.
