Near Byre - Self-catering house in Isle of Skye
20 Lochbay, Waternish, IV55 8GD, Isle of Skye
Scotland,
Reino Unido
Relax by the wood-burner and lap up the view: it swoops to the Outer Hebrides. From your converted cow-byre and its close-by B&B, you can watch buzzards wheel, and sunsets sink into the sea.
Outside: a firepit, a table, and a barbecue for balmy nights. Inside: sheepskin rugs and toasty warm floors, a small perfect kitchen, a dreamy bed, and humble, half-height stone walls. Vicki is always baking for the B&B and regularly drops off treats. Your hosts could not be more generous, yet are utterly discreet.
Stroll to Skyeskyns to buy sheepskin boots, or cakes from the yurt café. Head for Coral Beach, a 35-minute drive… dog-friendly and quiet out of season. Stock up in Portree (22 miles), or the stores in little Dunvegan. Or tumble down the hill to the welcoming Stein Inn, the oldest pub on Skye.

Local points of interest from Vicki Parfitt:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Vicki Parfitt:
- Fantastic hiking from the door with more available at the fabulous Neist Point lighthouse, the Fairy Pools, magical Fairy Glen, Talisker Bay, Quiraing, and the Old Man of Storr.
- For those who like to hike a little higher we are 30 minutes from the famous Cuillin Ridge. This ridge traverse is considered to be the finest mountaineering adventure in the UK. Local guides are available to hire.
- Dunvegan Castle is a short drive away. It boasts a wealth of history and clan legend as well as magnificent gardens.
- Skye's main town, Portree, features harbour-side pubs and boutique shops selling an array of local arts and crafts.
- The Talisker Whiskey Distillery is a 30 minute drive away. Spend an afternoon taking a guided tour, explore the visitor centre and samplethe local single malt. Combine this with lunch at the Oyster Shed where seafood is served fresh from the Loch.
- Local boat trips from Portree, Carbost, and from our shore at Stein will take you even closer to the incredible scenery and wonderful array of wildlife. Wild swimming, fishing and a splendid seafood lunch is also bookable on some of these trips.
