About this house rental
The Boathouse sits on the very edge of Loch Sligachan with stunning extensive views across to the Island of Raasay, the Old Man of Storr, The Trotternish Ridge, the mainland & more. It is the ideal tranquil holiday base (centrally located) whether it be for pure relaxation or activity filled days....The Island is yours to explore.
The Boathouse lies 12 miles from both of the main towns on the island, Portree and Broadford so is centrally located to see all the sights you may want to see. The Isle of Skye Golf course is a 5 minute walk away from the house, you can also hire clubs here.
The Boathouse has regular visits from Otters and Seals and an incredible variety of sea birds. A good idea to bring binoculars if you can. The spectacular Cuillin mountains are just a few miles away with waterfall walks with mountain backdrops.
We can have the most breath taking sunrises across the Loch and occasionally we see the Northern Lights in the Autumn to Spring months.
The is a regular passenger and car ferry to the Island of Raasay, which is stunningly beautiful and peaceful and boasts it's own whiskey and gin distillery.

We all loved the accommodation as there was plenty of space to relax and enjoy the sea views . Five of us stayed in this property with a large dinning table we could sit together and enjoy meals talking about all the wonderful places we’d visited during the days .The property is well stocked with everything you need from cooking to washing clothes if you get a bit wet after walking ect

Great location, fantastic views and good facilities. All went very smoothly.A few clunky design issues - the kitchen and a bedroom you can’t always stand up in - but we had a fantastic time. Thank you.

Amazing house right on the coast with ferry passing and wildlife spotted! View superb. Very centrally situated between Broadford and Portree with good access to all the southern areas of Skye. Forgot to complete the visitors book, but extremely well equipped house, super restaurants short car journeys away. Great for access to Cuillin.

The house is arguably even better looking in real life than it is in the photos. It would be a roomy place for six people (we were four) and has great spaces from which to stare at the loch and mountains, watch the ferry and spot otters, seals and cormorants.
There's everything you need to have a great stay - well-equipped kitchen, internet, connected TV, direct access to the water, walking distance to Sconser Lodge Hotel (closed when we visited, but we've been before and can recommend it) and Noost, a small cafe by the ferry port.
The location is particularly amazing - you're right by the entry to the Cuillins if you want to walk and are equidistant between Portree and Broadford (the two bigger towns on Skye). You are also an 800m stroll from the ferry port that takes you to Raasay, Skye's more remote, less-populated younger sister.
Overall, an amazing stay and one we hope to repeat!
