Situated on the Isle of Skye, this home has outstanding ocean and mountain views from the garden and deck. You can take in the vistas (which include the mystical ruins of Knock Castle) from inside the homely open-plan living area too. There’s also a log-burner here for when the island weather turns cooler and a telescope for spotting the wildlife on the Sound of Sleat. And for the little ones, there are board games and children’s books. So, there’s plenty to keep everyone occupied, but there’s also much to explore in the locale. There are the white sands of Armadale Bay Beach, or tour the whisky distilleries. This stunning single-storey home is the perfect base for your Scottish adventure.
