A Wonderful Stay
We loved the Shelling Skye and didn't want to come home. The accommodation looked out over a loch and watching the night skies, the sunrises and ever changing was a delight. The cabin itself was very comfortable and clean and cosy. There were iconic walks in the local area as well as a five star restaurant which added to the joy of the stay in this part of Skye. The owner was super helpful and gave clear instructions and offered good local information.

The most amazing cottage in Skye
I stayed here solo for a few nights, and wish I could have stayed here forever! The host, Sarah, was incredibly nice and responsive via messaging. I would stay here again and again!
