About this property

Silverwood, Waternish

Silverwood is a very new single bedroom property ideal for couples get away or a single person for some peace.

The views through the floor to ceiling windows at the front of the property look over the islands of Isay and Mingay just off the coast of Waternish.

The interior has been completed to a high standard to ensure your comfort and tranquility.

Nestled approximately 50-60 meters above the coast, next to a croft, the views, no matter the weather, are spectacular.

This area of Waternish is also a Dark Skies area so, when the weather is on side, the array of stars that can be seen are worth the travel.

This is an exceptional property and we are honoured to have it on our books.

Beautiful cottage

We had an amazing stay this lovely cottage. Everything was very neat and clean. The view was absolutely stunning. If you stay here, say hello to Ian, the neighbor next door. He has a small croft and was really great to chat with!

Quiet Home with a stunning view

The Stay was amazing. The Location is Just stunning and the view wonderful. The House is modern and really big enough for two People. It is absolutely quiet. It is a tough ride when you're not used to it but it's worth it. I would recommend a stay and would always come back too. The communication was easy and friendly. We had a wonderful time there.

Quite Lovely

The home was quite lovely. It is tucked away in a very tranquil area, that gave us the peace and quiet we needed, but not too far away from all the sightseeing. It was pristine, and well appointed. It had lovely views of the water. We would highly recommend.

Heaven

We loved this little house so much. The view was just jaw dropping. We would light a fire and just watch the rain and clouds and the loch and weren't even mad it was raining! Super comfortable bed (for US travelers, it's not a king, it's a queen), great kitchen, great bathroom. It's waaay off the beaten path, which we loved. We found 3 terrific restaurants within 20 minutes of us so we didn't need to drive the 35 minutes into Portree. Took a while to figure out the washer/dryer, but once we did it was great. Heaven.

Fabulous retreat

Silverwood is a lovely place to stay for a couple wanting peace and quiet. The cabin is perfect, very clean and well designed. It was warm and relaxing with a fabulous view. We would highly recommend. The chillled bottle of wine was a lovely touch. You need a car and the house is a couple of houses past the dead end turning on the left . 2.2 miles past Skyeskyns; the satnav wasn’t very specific so try and get there in daylight hours We highly recommend and would stay again

Outstanding and Memorable

We stayed here on our "honeymoon" (12 years later). We would come back again in a heartbeat. This cozy little cabin with an incredible view was a wonderful place to retreat from the world It's far from Portree (relatively) but I would view that as a positive - the drive is beautiful. It is very close to the Stein Inn - a lovely pub with so much character- and Loch Bay restaurant which we'd also recommend. Hope to visit Skye again and this would be our first choice of accommodation.

Modern rental with stunning views

The silverwood is an outstanding rental property. The rental looked exactly like the photos and the place was clean when we arrived. The property is very modern compared to other rental properties on Skye. The kitchen was stocked with dishes, pots, pans, etc. Skye is the type of location you need to have dinner reservations or food at home; otherwise few options. There is a Michelin star restaurant down the road. The Stein Inn was also amazing! The neighbouring property has sheep and rosters; natures alarm clock! Prior to arriving I needed to change the checkout date and reaching the host was challenging, but not impossible. I didn’t need to interact host while there. Overall, top notch property for couple. I would return.

Terrible manager and very poor communication

Did not receive the access code via email. Repeatedly asked for it. Kept being told to “check spam folder.” All they had to do was send the info via the VRBO messaging. We drove for 6 hours to get there and then stood on the porch in the middle of nowhere while VRBO tried to help. No one would pick up any of their emergency numbers. We were absolutely overwhelmed / the aisle of Skye is a pretty desolate place when you have no place to stay. This management company should not be allowed to list properties. It has shaken our faith in whether we will use VRBO again. They ruined our first day and caused so much anxiety - all completely avoidable.

Wonderful abode

Very serene. Second rental next door but wall provides privacy and buffer. Salt and pepper, olive oil and basalmic available during our stay. I failed to ask in enough time in advance so bought some anyway. Lovely home with beautiful views!

Great house in great location BUT

This is a lovely house for a couple in a splendid location with a great view through south facing windows across a whole wall. Well equipped with comfortable bed and powerful shower but no air conditioning and no fans. Therein lies a problem . We had some glorious days with sunshine and temperatures of 19o plus in early May but the house then became unbearably hot! Asking for help from the agent ( not VRBO) proved complicated and unsatisfactory. Sky accommodation didn’t supply fans when asked and proved rude in correspondence. Staff need some training. So great place in cooler times but does need better support arrangements.

At the end of the land… turn left

Everything was perfect and enchanted. I just regret that the check in process was technical and not personalized. We are not traveling to a place such as a remote island to be treated like numbers by robots. This is maybe the case in big cities. No, Skye deserves a personal touch. Someone who is personally communicating with you and cares. Fortunately, I insisted (and it was much unpleasant) to meet with someone (agent or manager) upon our arrival. Only at the last moment, I have been answered positively. The owner’s presence helped me to locate the property because we were lost and confused. Thank you, dear owner for your precious time… Technology is fine. But a human contact is much better …
