The Boathouse sits on the very edge of Loch Sligachan with stunning extensive views across to the Island of Raasay, the Old Man of Storr, The Trotternish Ridge, the mainland & more. It is the ideal tranquil holiday base (centrally located) whether it be for pure relaxation or activity filled days...the island is yours to explore. The Boathouse lies 12 miles from both of the main towns on the island, Portree and Broadford so is centrally located to see all the sights you may want to see. The Isle of Skye Golf course is a 5 minute walk away from the house, you can also hire clubs here.

The Boathouse has regular visits from Otters and Seals and an incredible variety of sea birds. Binoculars and a Telescope are provided to allow you to enjoy the most of the local views and wildlife. The spectacular Cuillin mountains are just a few miles away with waterfall walks with mountain backdrops. We can have the most breath taking sunrises across the Loch and occasionally we see the Northern Lights in the Autumn to Spring months.

There is a regular passenger and car ferry to the Island of Raasay, which is stunningly beautiful and peaceful and boasts it's own whiskey and gin distillery.
