Beautiful home & view
We had a lovely time at the Woodenhouse. It’s such an impeccable home and the view is to die for. Skye is a lovely island and this was a terrific place to visit from although trips out on the Island do need time so you can take your time driving the single track roads with cars and sheep :) we found ourselves wanting to spend more time at the house than out as it was so lovely.

Incredible views - Immaculate home!
What a property! From the moment we pulled in, we were in awe of the scenic beauty, tasteful decor, well-designed floor plan, and unbelievable attention to detail the hosts provided. Being in a more remote location with young children, we cooked every meal in the house and found the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed. Having access to laundry indoors was a huge plus, the linens were high quality, and the wood stove in the evenings was delightful. The house made such great use of natural light and has been designed to showcase the beauty of the location. We could not stop taking in those views from every room with the windows and skylights. We hated to leave and will always treasure our time at Woodenhouse!

Perfect location for view and comfort
The property is ideal for those seeking the rugged and dramatic seascapes of skye. Would definitely stay here again. 10/10. Just be mindful when planning excursions to plan distance time by car. Skye is bigger than you think. Neist point, coral bay, talisker tour all excellent.

Outstanding!
We had the privilege of spending 4 days in Woodenhouse, including my birthday. Each day was a beautiful gift of sunrises, sunsets, rain, and, one morning, a loch filled with fog that slowly dissipated over the course of 2 hours. Since I was generally awake before everyone else I was able to enjoy the peace that this place has to offer while everyone else was asleep in the comfort of their rooms. I highly recommend staying here if you like a place that is off the beaten path and provides solitude. We all loved it! For reference, we were here with 2 people in their 50s, 2 people in there 30s, and a teen.

A wonderful stay with a view!
We stayed at the Wooden House prior to our daughter’s wedding at Dunvegan Castle. The place is beautiful, every amenity you could think of. The view is outstanding with an unbelievable sunset every night. It is in a remote setting, which we wanted but close by is the village of Glendale with groceries, a very nice café and even a local craft market on Tuesday’s. We really didn’t want to leave and would definitely go back.

Overwhelmed by view and house
Renting from thousands of miles away based on pictures can be a crap shoot. This one exceeded my expectations in every way. The house seems much bigger inside than out. Almost made me want to skip the rest of Skye and sit at house and watch for whales and submarines. Thanks Alan and Gill

Amazing views
Beautiful house at the end of the island. Stunning view. We got to see dolphins, seals and eagles from the living room.Plan lots of time if you want to explore Skye from here, since it is pretty far out and the roads are only to driven slowly.The house was not quite as clean as we had expected but Alan and Gill were very kind and did everything to correct it.
