Dream Come True
From the first point of contact with Lorraine the communication was prompt, very friendly and helpful. The property is absolutely wonderful! Spotlessly clean and very comfortable...in fact it felt like home. The location is stunning! Incomparable! Our only sadness was that we didn't book Willie McLeod's for longer 😊 Thanks again for your lovely hospitality, Lorraine.

Quiet Paradise
The property is in s beautiful remote setting. The house is clean and comfortable, with a newly renovated kitchen and bathroom. I loved the personalised letter and shortbread cookies that we received on our arrival. It made us feel very welcome. I would live to come back again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Lorraine Harlow

Host profile image
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.

What makes this property unique

Very quite location, walks from the front door, uninterrupted views, in full view of the most amazing Hebredian sunrises.
