Drumgarry - Skye house with breathtaking sea views.

Drumgarry is set within a private, secluded woodland. The house commands breathtaking views across the sea towards the Knoydart hills and mountains beyond. The stunning location is complimented by the beautiful, natural gardens surrounding the house.

The house is spacious, sleeping up to 6 people. With master, superking bedroom, bunk room and a 3rd bedroom which can be used flexibly as either 2 singles or as an additional superking. The huge kitchen/ dining room is very well equipped and looks out across the garden to the rear. The living room with real fire, features large french windows opening onto a large deck and seating area, perfectly positioned to take in the gorgeous scenery and views. The house also has 2 bathrooms, one with shower, one with bath and shower.

Drumgarry is in the small township of Ardvasar on the southern tip of the island. There is a pub and restaurant within the hotel which sits at the foot of the house's drive, just 1 minutes walk away and serving excellent food; there are also many other excellent restaurants in the area. There is a local shop 5 mins drive away (but it's also a beautiful 15 minute walk), and there's a large supermarket in the next main town of Broadford.

Being located on Skye, there is access to the many places of interest there such as the Cuillin mountains, fairy pools, dinosaur fossils, clan castles and distilleries, not to mention the Old Man of Storr, black and white coral beaches and the quiraing. Tours for dolphin and whale watching and other water-based activities can also be booked nearby. The house itself is within walking distance of the ferry terminal which links with Mallaig on the mainland, the town where the Harry Potter train terminates. This also allows for access to mainland destinations such as Camusdarach beach and the Silver Sands of Morar. Ferry routes to the various, beautiful, nearby islands and beyond also depart from Mallaig.

Spacious, well equipped kitchen, responsive host.
Nice place. Spacious. Host was great. Lock is tricky on front door and we couldn’t get the dryer to dry clothes but it had a nice laundry room. Plenty of seating areas too.

Lovely short break
Stayed for just 2 nights in October Half term. Party of 6 (Inc two young teen children) and two small dogs. We had a lovely stay. Plenty of space for everyone, beds very comfortable with warm duvets. The kitchen had everything we needed to make home cooked meals and if you don’t feel like cooking the Inn at the bottom of the drive has a great menu. Washing machine was very handy, we were midway through our holiday so great to get a few items cleaned to wear again. We did use the coal fire located in the living room and the room warmed up nicely once we got it going. It was warm enough that the clothes dried overnight on the airer. :) It’s a perfect location if you are getting the ferry to or from Skye. Communication with Kyle was excellent beginning to end too. We would stay here again and would recommend to friends and family thinking of visiting the island! Thanks for having us.

Lovely stay!
We had a great time! It's quite a drive from most of the main/touristy spots on Isle of Skye, but its a beautiful drive. We were also a little intimidated by the coal fire heating system, but it actually made it a very cozy experience. Kyle was very communicative and helpful.

Peaceful stay on stunning Isle of Skye
The property itself was a beautiful find - quiet, so peaceful! We loved being able to open the french doors right out to the deck from the living room and one of the bedrooms and look at the view of water and mountains in the distance - a true vacation feeling and the large kitchen was great! House felt very roomy. Host was super easy to connect with, got an immediate response from Kyle with a question. It is a more isolated location which is not a problem if you plan ahead for dinner reservations -the one place you can walk to (The Inn at Aird A'Bhasair) gets full so we were glad we booked ahead for our 2nd night. Isle of Skye is magical - would love to come back!

Fabulous stay
We had a superb stay at Drumgarry at Easter. House is so comfortable and cosy and we are hoping to return next year. Great location for walking and ideal for an evening stroll to the nearby pub. Kyle was great at answering any questions we had prior to our stay.

Lovely Stay!
This home was absolutely lovely! Comfortable for both a couple or a family. I read previous reviews regarding the coal fire. While it was a bit chilly upon arrival, if you understand how to get a fire going, it provides much better warmth than traditional heating. Once my husband got the fire going, it stayed very warm throughout the entire stay. Stove is quite larger than a traditional British stove which should make Americans like me (who have a 48" cooktop) quite happy. Appliances were easy to use.

Beautiful Property but Needs Better Heating System
I'll start off by saying that this house is beautiful. A lot of care has obviously been put into it. It was comfortable, spacious and you couldn't ask for a better view. I think if we had stayed in the spring or summer it would have been perfect. And Kyle was responsive to our questions leading up to the stay. But, we didn't stay during a warm season. The house uses a coal fired heating system. It is the responsibility of the person staying at the house to keep the system up and running. You have to start the fire (which is a bit of a pain) and it takes forever for it to get going. We were told it would take two hours for it to get up and running and then the house would warm up quickly after that. It was 57 degrees when we got there. We would also have to keep adding coal to the system every few hours. We started the fire around 6 p.m. By 10 p.m. the house was still freezing. It was about 59 degrees. We ended up sleeping bundled up and under every extra blanket we could find. The warmest it got was about 61 degrees. And, of course, because we didn't add more coal in the middle of the night, the fire went out and it whatever heat had been put out had disappeared. We didn't want to spend all day in the house keeping the heat running so we knew the whole process would start all over again when we got home that evening. We made the difficult decision to leave and find a hotel for our final two nights, which was super frustrating. I did email Kyle and let him know and ask if it was possible to get even a small refund because of the heating issue and never heard back. Up until that time he had been very responsive. I would add, we followed the step by step instructions to start and run the coal system so I do not believe it was user error. Anyway, like I said, the property is beautiful and I think it would be a great place to stay when the weather is a little warmer and you don't have to be dependent on a rather outdated heating system.
