Location
About the surrounding area of Loch Dunvegan HouseLocated in the North East of the Isle of Skye, Loch Dunvegan House is perched on the edge of the Sea, with dramatic views across the beautiful countryside to match the remote location. The largest of the Inner Hebrides, Skye is home to some of Scotland's most iconic landscapes. A real escape from the world, the area is celebrated by outdoor enthusiasts, with striking views in every direction you look. Skye can be visited for a few days whilst on a tour of Scotland or you can stay for a longer spell, but either way the island is sure to enchant you, with its mountain ranges, miles of dramatic coastline and captivating history.
The Isle of Skye is connected to Scotland’s northwest coast by a bridge, and the drive itself is something to be remembered. Known for its rugged landscapes, picturesque fishing villages and medieval castles, Skye is arguably one of the most magical places in the UK. Loch Dunvegan House is a brilliant base for exploring all the Isle has to offer, with Dunvegan Castle and Gardens a mere 5-minute drive away, whilst the likes of Neist point, Coral beach, the Talisker Distillery and The Old Man of Stor are all within easy reach by car.
The immediate area offers you conveniences, with a small convenience store, post office, restaurant, bar and bus stop, whilst the wider area provides supermarkets and more shops, on top of a fantastic array of outdoor activities. The house is perfectly positioned for walking, sea and loch fishing, cycling, mountain biking and even bird watching, spectacular scenery is in abundance, and you only have to walk out your front door to enjoy it! For golfers, the Isle of Skye Golf Club is in Sconser, a 35-minute drive from the house. Both land and sea offer so much to explore, no trip is long enough on the Isle of Skye!
Of course, as with any trip to Scotland, the weather is unpredictable, and it can often feel as though you have seen multiple seasons in one day! With this in mind, make sure you pack for rain and shine alike, and if you are visiting in the summer months, pop some insect spray in your bag as well!

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe Isle of Skye is as popular with kids as it is with adults! Offering the magic and mystique of nature, blended with the fascinating history of wars and castles, there are seemingly endless things to explore as a family, the only challenge is fitting it all in.
The house itself is well suited to family life, set in a large garden so children can run and play on the grass burning off any excess energy, whilst you relax! The open-plan kitchen and dining room feels as though it was designed with kids in mind, and a highchair can be provided for little ones, to make life even easier. A cot can be provided for the smallest children and there is a twin bedroom on the first floor which is ideal for siblings to share. The double rooms will suit older children perfectly, giving them a little luxury for their holiday.
We know travelling with kids can be a balancing act, but the dramatic landscapes of this beautiful island are sure to enchant their adventurous minds, spurring them on with every adventure. Car journeys are fuelled by beautiful scenery, with plenty of stopping points to take pictures of the views and stretch your legs.
The Old Man of Storr is a must see on the Isle of Skye and being located only 1.7km from the road, it is a great option for a walk with children. Uphill most of the way, the incredible views will distract from your tired legs, and kids will love climbing on the rocks near the top! This is one of the most popular walks on Skye, so you won’t be the only family climbing up.
Castle Ewen and The Fairy Glen is another brilliant place to visit with your kids. Located near the northern tip of the Isle of Skye this enchanting spot will entertain your kids for hours. The Fairy Glen is a luscious green wonderland filled with small conical hills with wavy paths running all-around them, so you can walk around the different trails, finding your own path around the hills.
