Amazing house right on the coast with ferry passing and wildlife spotted! View superb. Very centrally situated between Broadford and Portree with good access to all the southern areas of Skye. Forgot to complete the visitors book, but extremely well equipped house, super restaurants short car journeys away. Great for access to Cuillin.

Fantastic Skye Boathouse

Just returned from an amazing week at the Boathouse - whilst the photos on the listing are amazing, the actual place, views, and house are even better! The location and views were fantastic and a really easy place to relax and unwind very quickly. The house had everything we could want or need - a perfect place to enjoy Skye at its best.

We really enjoyed the boat house. The views were fantastic and accommodation spacious, clean and modern. The weather in Skye wasn’t great, but the boat house provided a comfortable and cosy refuge from the elements. Would recommend - thank you.

Dreamy seafront property

The boathouse was absolutely gorgeous, the view to Raasay was sublime. The property was very well equipped beautifully decorated and cozy. The underfloor heating was on low when we arrived however we contacted the owner and they came immediately to sort it out. We also had unbelievable weather for November which made for a fantastic stay on the island

Lovely house in a great spot

This house is well-equipped with everything you need for a great stay. Lots of space, everything works and the instructions are clear. Centrally located on the Isle of Skye, you are able to reach all of the sites easily. But the best part of the house is the view. A wonderful view greets you every morning - clear skies give you a view of Raasay, cloudy days give you fog horns from the ferry.

Second visit as excellent as the first

We first visited the Boathouse a year ago and had an equally idyllic time this year. The location is great for access to both the North/South corridor of Skye (towards Portree and the Trotternish north and towards Broadford, the bridge, the ferry and the Sleat Peninsula to the South) but also, unusually, heading West towards Edinbane and Waternish. The house itself is well-appointed, super clean, has a great modern look to it and plenty of space, both in the bedrooms and the shared areas. Cannot complain in any way about any of it!

Beautiful location and property

Beautiful location, lovely property, nicely appointed with fine views across Loch Sligachan and the Sound of Raasay. There was some road noise, but we didn’t find it intrusive.Overall, the property was of a very high state of cleanliness, but it lost one star in that category as we found some crockery and cutlery with food and stains on them when we arrived. Some information on waste recycling on the property notes would be useful. We really enjoyed our stay at The Boathouse.

Perfect Vacation

House was everything we had hoped for and more. The location is midway between Broadford and Portree, Isle of Skye's two largest cities. We commuted to Portree quite often as it offered more in terms of services, eating, and generally was in route to many of our destinations. Views of the Isle of Rassay, ferries, seals, and otters did not disappoint. The sunrise and sunsets were awesome and saw one of the most complete rainbows in my lifetime. The views from the house inside and out were spectacular, very clean and spacious. A real gem on an island that offers some of the most spectacular scenery.

A superb property with one of the best positions and views on Skye

The boathouse is an exceptional property with the most amazing views across the water towards Raasay. You could sit and just enjoy the ever changing scenery as the tide rises and falls and as the sun paints the landscape with ever changing colours, and yes we did have a full week of sun on Skye in October. But, Sconser is also centrally situated to explore Skye, it’s never too far from anywhere, with the magnificent Cuillins just down the road, Portree only a few miles away and Raasay just across the water. Rachel and Donnie are magnificent hosts, friendly and hard working to ensure that we had a relaxing week in their lovely property. Thanks for all your efforts, we will definitely be back one day.
