About this house rental

Drumgarry is set within a private, secluded woodland. The house commands breathtaking views across the sea towards the Knoydart hills and mountains beyond. The stunning location is complimented by the beautiful, natural gardens surrounding the house.

The house is spacious, sleeping up to 6 people. With master, superking bedroom, bunk room and a 3rd bedroom which can be used flexibly as either 2 singles or as an additional superking. The huge kitchen/ dining room is very well equipped and looks out across the garden to the rear. The living room features large french windows opening onto a large deck and seating area, perfectly positioned to take in the gorgeous scenery and views. The house also has 2 bathrooms, one with shower, one with bath and shower.

Drumgarry is in the small township of Ardvasar on the southern tip of the island. There is a pub and restaurant within the hotel which sits at the foot of the house's drive, just 1 minutes walk away and serving excellent food; there are also many other excellent restaurants in the area. There is a local shop 5 mins drive away (but it's also a beautiful 15 minute walk), and there's a large supermarket in the next main town of Broadford.

Being located on Skye, there is access to the many places of interest there such as the Cuillin mountains, fairy pools, dinosaur fossils, clan castles and distilleries, not to mention the Old Man of Storr, black and white coral beaches and the quiraing. Tours for dolphin and whale watching and other water-based activities can also be booked nearby. The house itself is within walking distance of the ferry terminal which links with Mallaig on the mainland, the town where the Harry Potter train terminates. This also allows for access to mainland destinations such as Camusdarach beach and the Silver Sands of Morar. Ferry routes to the various, beautiful, nearby islands and beyond also depart from Mallaig.

    This house was incredible! The views were spectacular and the master bedroom and space in general was luxurious and welcoming. The coal heat system that everyone mentions in their reviews is not as scary as you might think. Kyle gives you video instructions on how to do it and sets everything up for your first go at lighting the coals. If you aren’t used to starting fires or fireplaces in general it can be stressful but the house is meant to be heated through this system so as long as you watch and read the instructions you’re golden! The kitchen is also a dream and the shower had delightfully hot water. Cannot recommend enough!

    The place was absolutely incredible with beautiful views of the sea. Everything in the house was perfectly thought out and made our stay comfortable. It's also located conveniently to dining and grocery stores.

    Wow! What an awesome house with all the amenities. Kyle was a perfect host with great recommendations. We had a wonderful time exploring Skye from the home base of Drumgarry. Views from the house are breathtaking! Was sad to leave & hope to return. Highly recommend!

    We enjoyed the island of Skye. There is so much natural beauty to explore and enjoy. Our stay was adequate. It was a no frills dry and warm place to stay. Kinda what we expected when we booked this place. However, we were put off by the smell of cigarettes upon entering. The house has definitely been smoked in. I cannot recall if the description stated it was a non smoking property. We were able to have a fire in the fireplace which was really nice due to the cold weather that day. The place could use some updates. But the location was great, the view was awesome, and the price was right.

    This house has ample space for a family or group of 6. Full sized kitchen and laundry room are a plus for a group. Both baths are separated from the bedrooms, only one shower and one tub. Heating and hot water are a challenge to operate

    Our arrival was delayed because of our flights. Got to the cottage @ 130am. After driving back& forth several times & no clue how to find places using latitudes, & a couple messages sent to Kyle ,we pulled to side of road & slept in our rental. Woke to birds @ 5 am. Drove around the area looking for a toilet. Sat in a petrol station till it opened. Saw a reply with precise directions from Kyle. And found the house. Took a bit to find the correct lock box & entrance key. But we got in & unloaded. The views are fantastic. Exterior needs some cleaning of cobwebs & such. Maybe make the carport usable for unloading a car in the rain. The flora around the house is just beautiful. Ferns, strawberries, crainsbill & so many others just tumbling & flowing thru the trees & shrubs. The morning we left, the rains/ wind the night before had knocked a small tree across the lane. As i walk w a cane, my sister had to walk down the hill to the restaurant and ask for a saw. But a wonderful man walked back up with her & pulled it out of the way so we could leave. So other than some exterior cleaning & landscape clean up the house is lovely. Though the beds were not comfortable. Thank you to Kyle for sending us directions. Skye is simply Unbelievable!

    We stayed at Drumgarry for a week in early April and could not have picked a better week weather wise. We are a family of 3 plus one small dog, and had a fantastic time. The house is large with plenty of space and has amazing views from the Livingroom/decking at the front of the property. The house is located in a very quiet and peaceful area with the added bonus of a lovely Inn at the foot of the drive that serves food throughout the day. Communication with Kyle was excellent throughout and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit the Isle of Skye

    The view, the yard, and the home interior were all gorgeous. It felt very much like a home, and we settled right in. The coal heating was a bit of an adjustment but my middle son.and I had fun figuring it out with the provided videos. Would absolutely stay again.
