The Crow’s Nest, Isle of Skye

A beautifully presented bothy overlooking Glen Haultin, on the west side of the Trotternish Ridge.

What was once a mechanic’s home workshop has been expertly converted into an exquisitely provisioned bothy, embracing the quiet nook of Rhenetra whilst keeping connected with the beating heart of the island.

From the luxuriously comfortable king-sized bed with en-suite and rain shower, to the fully capable kitchen and dining space and adjoining soft seating, The Crow’s Nest is a home from home. Stunning views from the giant picture window, facing west to catch the glorious sunsets, as well as necessities like the laundry/drying room, private Starlink superfast internet and an EV charging point.

The Crow’s Nest is the perfect hub for your Isle of Skye experience
