Calath luxury modern self catering with fantastic view - sleeps 6 + 2

 

Calath is situated within 20 minutes' walk from the village of Carbost on the west coast of Skye. It is a modern house designed by the award winning architects Dualchas, completed in 2003. The house has three large double bedrooms and can sleep up to eight people comfortably. There is a large open plan dining/lounge area where the views to the loch and of the whole of the Cuillin ridge must be seen to be believed.

The world famous Talisker Distillery is in the village of Carbost and offers fascinating tours of the whisky making process all year round. The Old Inn is a handy traditional pub for a drink or meal. There are often local musicians playing here in the evenings throughout the year.

Skye is a paradise for walkers of all abilities. Calath is situated only nine miles from Sligachan and ten miles from Glenbrittle, both popular access points for various walks in the Black and Red Cuillins. Ascents of these peaks are a great challenge for experienced hillwalkers and rockclimbers, whilst gentler walks can be enjoyed into the corries around their base. There are also many spectacular coastal walks in the area when the clouds are down.

Skye has a denser population of golden eagles than anywhere else in Britain, as does the even larger and more magnificent white-tailed sea eagle. Both these birds can be spotted in the area around Carbost and Glenbrittle. Buzzards and herons can often be seen from the kitchen window in the house.

Skye has become renowned for its fine restaurants and sea food with a lot of the businesses doing their best to use locally sourced ingredients. Locally,The Old Inn in Carbost is only twenty minutes' walk away serving the usual pub grub, the Sligachan Hotel is nine miles away, also serving pub meals and has a huge range of malt whiskies. The world famous Three Chimneys restaurant is near Dunvegan, whilst Portree has a great range of dining options.

Our top five things to do while staying at luxury self catering Skye Scotland
romantic getaway

Talisker single malt scotch whiskies are characterised by a powerful and peppery taste that has more than a hint of the sea and is moderately peaty. It is with good reason that it has been referred to as "the lava of the Cuillins". It is consistently regarded by experts as one of the very best single malt whiskies available.
good area for sailing and boat trips

The whole of the Isle of Skye is fantastic for walkers, from the gentle shore walks to the extreme ascents of the Cuillin Mountains.
good area for fishing

The fishing is good, there is loch fishing and a wide variety of coastal fishing.
buildings of historic interest close by

No visit to the Isle of Skye is complete without a trip on the award winning Bella Jane, the only regular fulltime service from Elgol to Loch Coruisk and the longest running boat trip in Elgol and the Isle of Skye.
self catering scotland good food

Great dining is an essential part of the Skye experience. The restaurants are too numerous to mention, but Loch Bay Seafood Restaurant is a must, and Three Chimneys for a very special occasion. Portree offers a number of good, informal, spots.
