The Lookout Skye - Self-catering house in Isle of Skye
Lochbay, Waternish, IV55 8GD, Isle of Skye
Scotland,
Reino Unido
Come to this tranquil spot on the Waternish peninsula for views, light and peace - on a clear day you can enjoy breathtaking, uninterrupted views across the Minch to the Outer Hebrides. The eco-friendly, architect-designed building overlooks a beautiful stretch of coast from Dunvegan Head to Loch Bay; wonderful walks start from your doorstep.
Glazed sliding doors frame the sea and sky beyond, there's a comfy sofa and a wood-burner to keep you cosy on days when the weather is wild outside. Bring back your catch of the day and cook in the well-equipped little kitchen.
It's a 20-minute stroll to a good pub - the Stein Inn - for local mussels and scallops on the shore - in summer nip back before it gets dark for spectacular sunsets from the terrace.

Local points of interest from Lorna & Murray Gray:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Lorna & Murray Gray:
- The Lookout is a short walk from the oldest inn on Skye, the Stein Inn, established 1790. Here you can sample fresh locally caught seafood, traditional pub meals and Scottish whiskies and few cottages along is the intimate Michelin Star LochBay Restaurant
- The sunsets that can be enjoyed on the Waternish peninsula have been named as the best in the world, triumphing over competition from the likes of Hawaii or Bali.
- The Lookout is an eco-friendly passive house and features an advanced design air recovery system meaning that it is a cosy retreat all year round.
- Waternish has a rich and colourful history. Visit the medieval church and cemetery at Trumpan, now in ruin, to discover stories of clan feuding, brutal attacks, and try your luck at the ancient Trial Stone.
- Take a short drive around the coastline to dine at The Three Chimneys. This world famous restaurant has received a host of international awards and acclaim, including Michelin and AA status.
- Stroll down to the local pier at Stein to and take to the sea with Diver's Eye Boat Trips. The knowledgeable local skipper offers a variety of boat trips from wildlife watching, fishing and days away.
