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
