About this property
Enjoy the spectacular and tranquil waterfront setting of the Boathouse.
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.
Sconser Lodge hotel is a couple of minutes away where you pre-book a table in their restaurant. They serve freshly dived for Sconser scallops and other locally sourced produce. Three miles further on the A87 you'll find the Sligachan Hotel. It has an open restaurant and also an award winning bar where you'll find over 400 different brands of whiskey, the bar also has live music.
The Noost is a newly opened takeway which serves delicious cakes/coffee and Ice Cream, it is situated beside the Sconser Ferry terminal which is a 5 minute walk away.
The Boathouse is very well equipped and comprises of Lounge, Semi Open Plan Kitchen, Utility Room, 3 bedrooms (2 en suite), (one king, double and twin), bathroom and upper viewing lounge.
