An Outdoor Enthusiasts Slice of Heaven

LucyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our stay at Nadurra was absolutely fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for anything more! The hosts provided everything you could possibly need and all the extras as well. We managed to explore so many different areas and even drove out to the Isle of Skye as a day trip. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in the highlands then don’t hesitate to book Nadurra. We really didn’t want to leave!

Grianain - Riverside Lodge with Mountain Views

WilliamRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We absolutely loved our stay at the lodge and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other travellers. This property really does offer a lot compared to others in the surrounding area and is good value for money. Our party was only 4 family members (3 humans and a dog) but the lodge can easily accommodate 6 (and a pet). The living area is bright and spacious with fantastic views out and we found the accommodation was perfect for our needs. The property is off grid and has great green credentials as power is supplied via 3 renewable energy sources. (hydro/Ground source heat pump and new solar photovoltaic panels The lodge is situated about 4.5m along a private road which funs alongside Glen Loy so I would say that having a car is pretty much a necessity. We will fondly remember passing through flocks of sheep along the route. There are a few nice walks to summits that can be made directly from the lodge so it good base to explore and see Glen Loy from. Highly recommended

Great Glen Accommodation Balmaglaster/Invergarry

HetviRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We had the most amazing stay at Elaine’s lovely caravan! The location was stunning, right by the river, and incredibly peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The caravan itself was super cute, spotlessly clean, and equipped with absolutely everything we needed. It’s clear that Elaine has decorated it with a lot of thought and care; it felt cozy and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Elaine was a fantastic host—so helpful and responsive. Even though she was out and busy, she replied immediately when we had a puncture and kindly gave us the contact for a local garage. She also sent detailed directions in advance which made finding the place really easy. Inside, she had prepared a very well-maintained file with all the information we needed for our stay, including local recommendations and important safety info. We had zero issues during our stay, and all of us absolutely loved the place. We’re already looking forward to coming back and would 100% recommend it to anyone!

Truly fabulous views of the Cuillins and Islands!

TrudiRating, 5 stars7 months ago
This cottage is in an amazing location. The views from the living room were outstanding at every time of day. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped with plenty of space to relax. Despite its remote location (which makes it so peaceful) there is plenty to do, with walks to wild places, boat trips and even a little bistro restaurant (Elgol Bistro) offering lovely food. We loved staying here.

Cruinn - 3 bedroom all ensuite. self catering

YasminRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Stayed here with a group friends for a few nights to hike Ben Nevis - We all agreed it was one of the best Airbnbs we've ever stayed in! Perfect location, peaceful surroundings and gorgeous views. The house itself was spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable and well stocked. Pamela was super responsive, friendly and very helpful with instructions. Can't fault anything! Hope to come back someday :)

Your guide to Skye

Welcome to Skye

The Isle of Skye has ancient bones. The largest island of the Inner Hebrides archipelago, it crops up on Roman maps and in epic Norse sagas, and features a few dinosaur footprints for good measure. It’s one of the most popular tourist destinations in Scotland, and once you witness the mist-shrouded hills, glistening lochs, and rolling moorland, you can understand why.

Many come to revel in the scenery, but if there is a sudden bout of wild weather (synonymous with this region) there are historic castles, cosy inns, craft studios, galleries, and museums to explore. And once the clouds clear, you just have to get outside for sights such as the dramatic rocky outcrop known as the Old Man of Storr, the crystal waters of the famous Fairy Pool, or the abandoned lighthouse at Neist Point, considered one of the best places to see dolphins, basking sharks, and whales.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Skye

As it’s one of Scotland’s most popular spots to visit, and just 50 miles long, things can feel a little cramped in Skye at the height of summer. April and May are the driest months and are a little less busy time to book a holiday cottage. This is a land of wild weather that can spring up out of nowhere, so it’s a good idea to pack plenty of warm weather gear and waterproofs. October gets the most rain, but if you don’t mind being slightly damp, the winter months offer spectacular scenery that you can enjoy all to yourself. There is an annual music festival here, featuring dance and indie bands, in May, while the island’s Highland Games take place at the start of August.


Top things to do in Skye

Skye Museum of Island Life

This award-winning museum is set in a series of thatched cottages, each displaying aspects of Skye’s historic past. You’ll learn how the islanders lived and worked, and view displays of the tools and machinery that 19th-century crofters used to survive. Located near Kilmuir on the northern tip of the island, there are wonderful views out to sea from the museum, with the Isle of Lewis in the distance.

The Fairy Pools

There are magical crystal-blue pools and waterfalls on the southwest of the island, near the village of Carbost. With pure springwater supplied from the nearby Cuillin Mountains, the Fairy Pools are a truly special place to explore and, if you’re brave enough, you can take a dip in the icy waters — though you might want to don a wetsuit.

The Quiraing Loop

If you suddenly get a strange sense of déjà vu when you’re faced with this wondrous landscape, don’t panic. The Quiraing, located in the north of Skye and formed by a massive landslip, has been used as a location in many films and TV series. This two-hour walk takes you through the amazing cliff faces and rugged outcrops that comprise this breathtaking region. Make sure you have your camera ready, as you’ll be witnessing terrain that has to be seen to be believed.
