We cannot guarantee beautiful sunsets every week, however, the landscape never fails to captivate, whatever the time of year.

A few non-perishable “basics” are provided as a start to your holiday, together with a starter pack of logs, kindling and firelighters for the Woodburner . A small surprise will also be waiting for you when you arrive.

Great House

It will be hard to find a better place than the Woodhouse. The house is well furnished, all commodities are available and functional. The view is unbelievable. We loved the place very much.

A wonderful stay with a view!

We stayed at the Wooden House prior to our daughter’s wedding at Dunvegan Castle. The place is beautiful, every amenity you could think of. The view is outstanding with an unbelievable sunset every night. It is in a remote setting, which we wanted but close by is the village of Glendale with groceries, a very nice café and even a local craft market on Tuesday’s. We really didn’t want to leave and would definitely go back.

Perfect location for view and comfort

The property is ideal for those seeking the rugged and dramatic seascapes of skye. Would definitely stay here again. 10/10. Just be mindful when planning excursions to plan distance time by car. Skye is bigger than you think. Neist point, coral bay, talisker tour all excellent.

Overwhelmed by view and house

Renting from thousands of miles away based on pictures can be a crap shoot. This one exceeded my expectations in every way. The house seems much bigger inside than out. Almost made me want to skip the rest of Skye and sit at house and watch for whales and submarines. Thanks Alan and Gill

Incredible views - Immaculate home!

What a property! From the moment we pulled in, we were in awe of the scenic beauty, tasteful decor, well-designed floor plan, and unbelievable attention to detail the hosts provided. Being in a more remote location with young children, we cooked every meal in the house and found the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed. Having access to laundry indoors was a huge plus, the linens were high quality, and the wood stove in the evenings was delightful. The house made such great use of natural light and has been designed to showcase the beauty of the location. We could not stop taking in those views from every room with the windows and skylights. We hated to leave and will always treasure our time at Woodenhouse!

Outstanding!

We had the privilege of spending 4 days in Woodenhouse, including my birthday. Each day was a beautiful gift of sunrises, sunsets, rain, and, one morning, a loch filled with fog that slowly dissipated over the course of 2 hours. Since I was generally awake before everyone else I was able to enjoy the peace that this place has to offer while everyone else was asleep in the comfort of their rooms. I highly recommend staying here if you like a place that is off the beaten path and provides solitude. We all loved it! For reference, we were here with 2 people in their 50s, 2 people in there 30s, and a teen.
