Luxurious Accommodation With A Spectacular View
Out of this world – We have stayed in five star properties around the world and we can honestly say that this has been the best.
Christine and Mark, Devon
Welcome to The Shorehouse, a stunning architect-designed property situated on the water’s edge. With its sweeping vistas over the bay, panoramic views of the islands and mountains, and attention to luxury throughout, you’ll be able to indulge your senses all year round.
As well as receiving our 5* accreditation from Visit Scotland, we’re delighted to have acheived a Travellers Award for the second year in succession. A huge thank you to all our guests. You can read some of our reviews below.
Individual Design, Made In The Highlands
Not quite sure where to start other than WOW!! We absolutely loved our stay last week at your beautiful house. Its location, the decor and furnishings, the view, the fact it’s so unique compared to other properties on the coastline just delighted us.
Camilla and Chris, London
You’ll find elegant hints of Scottish tweed, luxurious hotel-style linens and handcrafted furnishings from artisan designers and craft-makers. Indulge yourself with cosy dressings gowns and a long soak in the hand-made copper bath which looks out to the sea, or curl up with a book in front of the wood-burning stove. Winter, summer, spring or autumn, you’ll find The Shorehouse a magical place to be.
A Landscape Of Sea, Islands, Mountains And Birdlife
Perfect for a stay on Skye – The house is right on the waterfront and was great for walks on the beach and swimming. The full length windows along the whole front of the house and the sheltered patio gave spectacular views of the sea, the mountains and the weather.
James and Ella, USA
Be prepared to lose yourself in the view as the ever-changing tides and skies meaning no one moment is like the next. With your own private access to the shore you can find solitude in seconds. For wildlife lovers, settle back and watch the resident and migratory birds at home in the bay, (one of the best places for bird-watching on the island), or look out for an otter or deer passing by.
The Perfect Haven After A Day Exploring
An oasis of tranquillity – Fabulous location, beautiful property and everything you need for a perfect holiday. When the weather isn’t perfect and you return cold and wet, the house embraces you in warmth and comfort. And the view is wonderful. We will definitely return.
Derna, Germany
After a long day exploring the island, there’s nothing like coming home to comfort. The Shorehouse has an open-plan lounge -kitchen-diner with wood-burning stove and panoramic views to the bay. The views continue from the master bedroom which has a separate dressing area, to the ensuite bathroom with shower and bath. Both rooms have panoramic windows look out on to the sea. Outside, the covered verandah means you can get cosy and watch the stars, whatever the weather.
Amenities
Stunning 180 degree panorama
A 180 degree vista takes in majestic Beinn na Caillich, with the cairn of a Norwegian princess on the summit, round to the stunning skyline of the Applecross hills and Munros of Strathcarron. Floor-to-ceiling windows across the whole of the front elevation and ever-changing skies and tides mean you’ll be transfixed by the view
Lounge with a view!
You’ll find a large smart TV, music system and plenty of games and books, but we suspect you’ll spend a good deal of your time looking out to sea through the floor-to-ceiling windows! Binoculars are provided
Well-equipped kitchen and utility room
The kitchen has everything you need for dining in and includes a double oven and microwave, dishwasher and large fridge freezer. We provide details of local suppliers in our welcome pack so you can pre-order. There is a washing machine and tumble dryer in the utility room
1 Bedroom with adult size bunkbeds
This lovely bunkroom, with solid wood beds designed by a Scottish furniture-maker conjures up hints of a ship’s cabin. Simply close your eyes and drift off to the sounds of the sea
Underfloor heating for cosy toes
We ask guests to leave their outdoor shoes in the porch and instead enjoy the cosy underfloor heating that runs throughout the house, makes for comfortable stays whatever the weather
A superb location and onsite parking
Broadford is in a great location for exploring the whole of Skye and Lochalsh – from the beautiful Sleat Peninsula, to the picturesque villages of Duirinish and Plockton across the Skye Bridge, to Elgol with its Cuillin panorama and all the main sites of Skye. There is onsite parking available for two cars
Sea views and private access to the shore
Beautiful Broadford Bay has it all. Teeming birdlife, an island for exploring, and at low tide a glorious sandy beach, perfect for romantic walks, games with the kids or a midnight dip. At high tide you’ll be just metres from the water’s edge – watch out for otters and deer or admire the views to the island of Pabay and beyond. We recommend wellies for year-round exploration
Covered deck and woodburning stove
Light the fire, open the doors and sit out on the deck to gaze at the stars or look out for the glow of the Northern Lights in winter. The Shorehouse is close to one of Skye’s Dark Skies sites but you can see nearly as much from the comfort of your own Adirondack chair, hand-made from whisky barrels and complete with a slot for your glass of wine. Logs for the stove are supplied
1 King sized bed with ensuite bathroom
Soak up the view from this fabulous bedroom with huge windows onto the shore, luxurious Hypnos mattress and Egyptian cotton linens, or retire to your ensuite bath and shower room where you can discover wonderful Arran Aromatic toiletries and soothe aching limbs with a dip in the hand made copper bath
Shower room with copper and glass detail
The second shower room means there is plenty of space. Enjoy lovely Arran Aromatic toiletries, fluffy towels and underfloor heating. Hairdryers are provided
Close to shops and restaurants
From the fabulous Hebridean Inn just over the road to the selection of restaurants and cafes in the village, all within walking distance or a short drive. Leave the car behind for a relaxing night out or there are taxis available for venturing further afield
WiFi
Superfast broadband hasn’t quite reached Skye yet but the WiFi is strong enough for most purposes
A Romantic Setting For Two, Or A Cosy Home For Four
Beautiful and brilliantly equipped – Thank you so much for having us. Your place is stunning and we will definitely be back if you’ll have us. Everything from the decor and the ramp out the back to the utensils, you’ve thought of everything and it makes an incredibly pleasant stay.
Camille, Scott and Charlie, Edinburgh
To the rear is a second (small) bedroom with hand crafted adult-sized bunk beds, a second shower room and a utility room. Underfloor heating keeps toes cosy throughout. There is a Smart TV, bluetooth stereo and wifi. Move outside and you’ll find garden seating and a choice of specially-made whisky-barrel planter chairs.
We regret but we do not accept dogs at The Shorehouse.
