Situated in the Isle of Skye's breathtaking Waternish Peninsula, Long View lives up to its name. A contemporary three-bedroom retreat designed to showcase the island’s natural drama in complete comfort, the house features uninterrupted sea views and elegant interiors. A place to relax, reconnect, and soak up the beauty of Skye’s wild edge.
The Space
From the moment you step inside Long View, the scenery takes centre stage. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping vistas across to the Outer Hebrides, flooding the open-plan living area with light. The space is modern yet warm — a calming palette, soft textures, and a wood-burning stove set the tone for slow, relaxed living.
The kitchen and dining area are ideal for gathering — fully equipped, beautifully designed, and opening directly onto a private terrace where you can dine al fresco as the sun sinks behind the horizon. Upstairs, a quiet study room offers a peaceful retreat to read, work, or simply take in the ever-changing views.
The home sleeps six across three stylish bedrooms: two serene king rooms and a twin room perfect for children or friends. Each of the three bathrooms is elegantly finished, featuring spacious showers and contemporary fittings. Every detail — from the quality of the linens to the curated artwork — is chosen to make your stay effortless and memorable.
At night, step outside and look up: Waternish is part of a designated Dark Sky area, where the stars feel close enough to touch.
The Area
Set on one of Skye’s most captivating peninsulas, Waternish offers a rare balance of seclusion, scenery, and sophistication. The landscape is wide and open — rolling croft land meeting dramatic cliffs and endless sea — a place where tranquility comes naturally.
A short drive away lies the coastal village of Stein, home to the acclaimed Loch Bay Restaurant, a Michelin-starred gem celebrating the best of local seafood, and the historic Stein Inn, Skye’s oldest pub with charm and views to match. Nearby, you’ll find artisan studios and galleries such as Skye Skyns tannery, Skíō Pottery, and local craft workshops showcasing the island’s creative spirit.
For those drawn to the outdoors, Waternish offers coastal walks, sea kayaking, and wildlife encounters — from dolphins and sea eagles to seals basking on the rocks below. As night falls, this designated Dark Sky area reveals a canopy of stars few places in the world can rival.
Peaceful yet rich with character, Waternish is a destination in itself — the perfect backdrop for a luxurious stay that captures the essence of Skye’s untamed beauty.

PHENOMENAL place to stay to get the full Skye experience with ease and luxury. Beautiful views, cozy living spaces, and well stocked kitchen with everything you need for a family night in after a day of hiking. Game nights were elevated by the wood stove that was easy to get started. While the location is remote, all the tourist spots are accessible with several local ‘off the beaten path’ options around too. 10/10 will be coming back. Exactly what we were looking for.
We stayed in Long View during the Skye leg of our Scotland trip in February. It was the highlight of the whole trip! One of the best on VRBO. The views are amazing and the windows out front are huge. The house is warm throughout with underfloor heating and a cosy log burning stove in the living room, which we lit every night. It is even better than it looks in the photo’s. The sky and its stars are so clear at night and the sunsets so vivid that we didn’t bother putting the TV on playing board games and looking out for shooting stars and aurora borealis (Nirthern Lights) and yes we did see them. Amazing. Our whole family loved staying here and we cannot wait to plan another visit back to Long View and the magical Isle of Skye. We shall be back. Thank you Ling View and our amazing host Iain.
