Tides is a wonderful new property who's boundary is the high tide line in Uig. The views out over Uig Bay extend to the Ascrib Islands and the east side of the Waternish peninsula. The water facing side of the property has been built to take in the delightful views which come with an array of wildlife. Don't be surprised if you see seals from the decking/ living room. There are also a multitude of wading birds that wonder round the high tide line. Whilst being in Uig, the property has been designed with privacy and tranquility in mind., so you get the benefits of being in a village, walking distance to pubs, restaurants etc, and your own personal space. The garden is fully enclosed. The property is also a 2 minute walk from the Uig ferry terminal. No pets.

Spacious house with great views in the Isle of Sky! Ben was super easy to communicate with and even drove to the house when I couldn’t figure out the dryer. I would definitely recommend this place!

Perfect rental for our family
Tides was the perfect rental for our family of five. Comfortable beds and fully equipped kitchen. Gorgeous views out over the water watching the ferry come and go. We had many gloomy days on our trip but the house was a wonderfully cozy place to hunker down and watch the storms blow through. Would highly recommend and hope to return someday!
We stayed here for 3 nights as a family of 6 adults and were very comfortable. It was nice that every room had its own bathroom and the home was very clean. The views from the living room were stunning!

A great place to stay on Skye
Tides at Uig was a beautiful and welcoming place to stay with a convenient location and parking, comfortable and high quality furnishings and bedding and a lovely reception room with views and plenty of room for couples travelling together.
Can highly recommend.

Fantastic setting
Tides is a stunning property in an equally stunning location.
Our slight reservation is that the comfort of the lounge area, for our party, was limited. The two yellow chairs very comfortable, the blue sofa too low and not really big enough for 4 people, trying to watch TV for example.

Stunning property with magnificent views
This house is absolutely stunning, the location and views of Uig Harbour are amazing, the interior is stylish, convenient and cosy. After some nice hill walks we simply enjoyed sitting on the sofa looking at the clouds, sea, rabbits and the ferry.

Amazing
What a property, absolutely amazing, even better than the photographs, house was spotless & had everything we needed & more. Beds very comfortable, contact with the team was great. We'll definitely be back
This house is fantastic. Our favorite property in our month long UK adventure. The house was very clean, beautifully furnished and well equipped. All the appliances worked and the kitchen was spacious and modern. The location in Uig was perfect. Close to the major sights we wanted to see. Skye roads can be challenging and we were so glad this property was easily accessible. Our favorite thing about this house were the spectacular views! We lived our stay here!
Tides was beautiful, spacious, exceptionally clean and comfortable. The location was fabulous within driving distance of the magnificent scenery and hiking and right on the water’s edge where we could hear the waves. One of our favorite places to stay of all time!

Luxury waterfront home on Isle of Skye
Tides at Uig is luxurious and comfortable with a stunning view. I spent 3 days there with my extended family, eating, drinking, laughing and enjoying the absolute peace and quiet. The living, dining and kitchen area has everything you could need, and each bedroom is outstanding with its own high end bathroom. I would highly recommend

Tides
On arrival the house was WOW, lived up to the photographs. Beautiful setting makes the most of the view. Only marked down because the bedding could be better quality. There was no egg cups or serving bowls, and could do with more cutlery only 6 of each item.
This sounds picky but it has been fitted out to a high standard and these little things above are easily fixed.

Wonderful Stay at Cosy Haven
Our stay on the Isle of Skye was nothing short of delightful. The house, perched with a scenic view of the bay, offered a captivating spectacle of ferry boats gliding past. Elegantly appointed and immaculately maintained, the abode welcomed us with pristine cleanliness.
Designed with ample space, the house comfortably accommodates several adults. The kitchen and living room areas serve as cosy gathering spots, perfect for socializing and unwinding in good company.
Our stay at Tides was very relaxing. Uig is not far from other towns but felt like we were secluded enough from the busier locations. We loved it! My niece and I loved sitting by the big windows, looking for Seals. Being that it was October, we didn’t spot many from the living room but we saw one. One evening we walked to a cute nearby hotel and had a few apéritifs. We would definitely go back if we were ever in Isle of Sky again!
