About this property
The West Nest -Luxury Cottage, Sea Views & Hot Tub
Nestled into the hillside in the western corner of Skye, The West Nest is the perfect place to unwind, connect with nature and recharge. The house is perched high on Glendale with uninterrupted views down the Glen and out to North Uist. Locally, village amenities can be found in both Lephin and Dunvegan.
Deigned by Fairgray Design, the house has a modern Scandinavian decor and an appreciation for Danish design classics and craftsmanship. The open plan living and dining rooms make the most of the stunning west facing views and the Charnwood log burner with `clearview` glass. The two bedrooms both have very comfortable king size beds and hotel quality linens. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and there is an additional family bathroom located next to bedroom 2.
When you`re enjoying the house I`ll be back home in Glasgow but I`m usually available on text or phone.
Glendale is at the far western corner of Skye and is steeped in local history. There is a village shop, a coffee shop, a fantastic locally-owned restaurant and lovely walks from the house.
Neist Point and the world famous Three Chimneys restaurant are both a 5-10 minute drive.
There are more shops, cafes and even a stunning Castle in Dunvegan which is 15 minutes in the car.
You will need a car to access the house and we have plenty of private parking. Don`t park in the passing place outside the gate, go through the gate and park in the driveway.

Some people may find that this magnificent home is isolated, but we found it to be perfect. It was a challenge to decide if you would venture out or stay in, each day.The host, Gordon, was great, and the property was well catered for, including wood for the fire.The property mentioned a dryer, but it was only a clothes line, and the bathrooms did not have any PowerPoints.But seriously, what you see is what you get, and we were very happy.
