A True Isle of Skye Experience

If you are looking for a property on the Isle of Skye that takes you to the true experience, you have found it. The location, the property and the home are breathtaking. Surrounded by a working sheep farm with sweeping views to the sea, the hills and stunning cliffs, this place is truly magical. From the bleating of sheep, mooing of cows, rabbits abounding, to the Shepard who is the worlds best neighbor and ambassador to the Isle Skye, you are immediately transported to what life is like on this most amazing Island. The home is perfect in every way. Beautifully decorated, warm and comforting (it has a real wood fireplace) and so well appointed with amenities and a beautiful well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are spacious and tastefully done. The owner, Lorraine, was more than welcoming, and answered any inquiries or questions before, upon arrival, and during our stay immediately. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend anybody to do so. The only constructive feedback we would have, and it was an issue easily figured out, would be better instructions in house to use the window and door locks, and the heating. You want be disappointed with this property.

Real piece of Skye

Travelling with our 3 dogs is not always easy to find accommodation . Dogs or no dogs , if you want the offer of the isles tranquillity ? It’s here. The cottage is spacious, comfortable and provides all you would need to keep yourselves in good stead for your stay and Lorraine kindly welcomed us and our 3 small companions. Local neighbouring crofter ( farmer ) Alan works his dogs each day bringing in his flock . You can immerse yourself as much as you want . Connecting to the locals made it something special. And the location. Well it’s alongside farmlands, you have the view of the sea one direction the Quiraings the other 😊

New Year on Skye

Carol Alan and Fiona spent three wonderful days staying in Willie Mcleod’s cottage. We felt immediately at home in this cosy and welcoming house. Lorraine our host left us a lovely welcome letter with all the information we needed to enjoy our stay. We soon had a lovely wood fire burning and that added to the experience. The views from the cottage were amazing and the peace and quiet was just what we all needed. Everyone who visits the cottage will love it. Thank you so much to our host Lorraine. We hope to return again.

About the host

Hosted by Lorraine Harlow

I have lived permanently on the Isle of Skye for 8 years after retiring early from being a Forest School leader and working with children with special needs.
I first visited Skye 25 years ago and lost my heart to this stunning island. My passion is being out in the landscape but in particular walking in the mountains on Skye and all over Scotland and the islands, travelling around in “Vanessa” my Campervan.

Why they chose this property

Willie McLeods House is located in a very quite, open, rural position with uninterrupted views to the Quiraing on the Trottenish Ridge and the towering mountains along the West Coast of mainland Scotland.
The property has recently undergone a complete upgrade, inside and out and caters for your every need after a day out walking or sightseeing.
