Vernon's personal review of the accommodation, location and items of interest

Skye Self Catering

No. 10 - Skye Self Catering ( sleeps 2 )

Number Ten boasts Isle of Skye Self Catering accommodation as dramatic as the landscape that wraps around it.

Spectacularly located at the end of a single-track road overlooking Loch Dunvegan where the first Lord of the Isles sailed to the apex and formed the settlement which now comprises Dunvegan Castle, home of the Clan MacLeod.

Diana who owns the property with husband Alan, is an artist and designer and she has brought all her artistic abilities to the design. For instance the bedroom has stained glass windows designed and created by Diana but placed in the East wall so that the morning light shines through them and illuminates the entire room so that it becomes a scene from a chagall painting. Every sense is considered, the textiles are carefully chosen so that you also have a sensory experience. Even the subtle perfume of the old whiskey barrel wood that has been used for the headboard is carefully considered. It is no accident that all the furniture fits so well, many pieces have been designed by Diana and crafted for No. 10, no expense has been spared to prepare this accommodation for you. The living area features vast windows and a wood burning stove. the seating and table once more designed by Diana bespoke for No. 10

To concentrate on the house is to miss the point. The Isle of Skye is known throughout the world, made famous by the escape of Prince Charlie with Flora Macdonald after his defeat at Culloden in 1745.  Home of the MacCrimmons, the ancient masters of the bagpipes. Few of us were not touched by the stories of Gavin Maxwell's otter Midge  and just a few yards from No.10 is a beach frequented by otters and seals, the otters play in the pools and the seals bask on the shore passing the time of day whilst keeping a wary eye on the eagles that nest in the hills above the cottage.

"Think of cloud on Bheinn na Cailleach, jagged Cuillins soaring high, Scent of peat and all the glamour of the misty Isle of Skye!"

by A.M. Harbord.
