“Thanks for a great holiday. The house is fantastic, so well equipped and the views are amazing! The weather has not been great but the house was great to come back to after a day exploring the island. Wood burner on and a glass of wine, bliss. So sad to leave”

If you find yourself on the Isle of Skye on Saturday the 25th or the 26th May, make sure you pay a visit to the Clan Donald Garden and Crafts Fair which will take place in the wonderful surroundings of Armadale Castle Gardens. There will be over 50 stallholders exhibiting with offerings including art, jewellery, candles, skincare, plants, hanging baskets, vegetables. There will also be a selection of local produce including jams, chutneys, cakes. A barbecue and a licensed bar is also available.

There are many special places on the Isle of Skye. The Skye Museum of Island Life has preserved a collection of old fashioned thatched cottages prevalent throughout the Highlands and Islands in the 19th century. These cottages hug the ground ensuring protection from the Atlantic storms.
James Boswell in an account of his visit to Skye along with Dr. Johnson in 1773 describes a house in which they stayed in south Skye. He states: ‘We had no rooms that we could command, for the good people here had no notion that a man could have any occasion but for a mere sleeping-place’.
The museum is a must see on a visit to Skye. For more information see http://www.skyemuseum.co.uk
The Skye White House demonstrates certain characteristics of the thatched cottages of old. The compact size, thick walls and wood panelling provide protection from the elements. The modern kitchen with its induction hob and the two wood burning stoves (one in the living room and the other in the dining room) provide the life and warmth. The stunning view provides for the soul. If you are looking for accommodation on Skye please email SKYEWHITEHOUSE@GMAIL.COM for available dates.
