Lovely escape from a busy life!
We had an amazing time at Salt Winds. The house exceeded all of our expectations and the little touches made the place a cosy, comfortable and perfect location for a little family getaway. Thank you so much

Just had 4 excellent days staying in this beautiful house and location and would definitely rush back. Location and cleanliness are top notch. One downside...The Stein Inn is unfortunately closed, which is a shame as a wee wander down the hill to the pub would have topped a great stay.

A true getaway
We have spent a marvellous three nights at SaltWinds. We wanted for absolutely nothing; the house is thoughtfully and tastefully furnished, impeccably clean and so cosy against the incoming Skye autumn. We will be delighted to return!

Super house for comfort, space and fantastic views
We had a fabulous stay... the house has super views and is comfortable, warm, welcoming and well stocked with amenities including extra touches such as board games, books, brochures, dvds and cookbooks. We hope to return.

The perfect stay
We loved it at saltwinds & know we couldn’t have chosen a lovelier place to stay in Skye! :) highly recommend. The views & amenities were great & there was a lovely touch of a bottle of wine on arrival (thank you!) couple of things - we couldn’t find oven gloves or a tea towel or glove for the log burner - both would be helpful :) Thank you again, Maddi & Adam

Beautiful house
Stayed here for a few days after leaving accommodation in Portree. Obviously much more remote but what a stunning house - main open plan living-room & kitchen is superb and every bedroom has an en suite. In a great setting with views over to Harris when the mist allows! We were lucky enough to get into The Stein Inn on our last night. If you could be sure of a table there every night we’d stay for a week!

A fantastic find
Some last minute searching online led us to stumble across this property and it was an amazing find. The location is perfect, the property itself is everything you could want, a great space and very well equipped. We would thoroughly recommend and plan on visiting again.

Salt winds Mini-Moon Break
Exceptional property, beautifully positioned and in immaculate condition! A lovely place to visit, with breath taking views all around Plenty of adventurer and fantastic meals to be had on the island, or just a lovely place to chill in front on the wood fire!

A magical week at Salt Winds!
Salt Winds was the perfect base to explore this beautiful island. Waternish is definitely 'where Skye meets sky'! Whatever the weather, the view from the property is jaw dropping. Perfectly situated for sunsets, the outer Hebrides in the distance on a clear day, all from the comfort of a spacious yet cosy house. We'll be back, as we want to see the Northern Lights!

Fantastic post wedding break
Spectacular location and fantastic views from the property rooms. Very well equipped property especially the kitchen. If ever in the area would not hesitate to stay at Salt Winds again and can also recommend the nearby Loch Bay restaurant. Unfortunately our low profile car struggled to get up the short property access road. V&K R

Unbeatable, the best stay ever.
Perfect location with the most magnificent views. Surprisingly spacious, really well proportioned and extremely comfortable bedrooms and common areas, with plenty of storage space and an extremely well equipped kitchen. Cosy and warm, beautifully decorated and thoughtfully kitted-out. Couldn’t want for more, one of the best places I have ever stayed anywhere.

Primo stay in a beautiful setting
We had a wonderful time at Salt Winds. The house is easy to find and very well equipped for any length stay. Host is quick to respond though we only really needed to let him know how wonderful the trip was. Any additional information we needed (grocery shopping, activity recommendations) was promptly provided. Close to a pub and two excellent restaurants (within walking distance) and with incredible scenic walks out the front door and longer hikes a reasonable drive away, we were able to enjoy Skye as we had hoped. Salt Winds has everything you need for a memorable and flawless getaway.

Out of the way and out of this world, my wife and I and our adult son and wife just spent three heavenly days at Salt Winds in Waternish. Our first trip to Isle of Skye, it was the perfect base camp for days filled with walks, hikes, and the like. Spectacular views from this modern, nicely decorated and comfortable house. The Danish concept of “hygge” come to mind. And convenient to two charming places to eat, Loch Bay Restaurant and the Stein Inn pub. Highly recommended.

Amazing views but quite remote
Hands down one of the nicest rentals yet- and we have stayed in hundreds. Everything is absolutely pristine. Bed are comfortable. The views are better than the pictures But this part of the island is quite remote. When we came (in august), there were no reservations available at any restaurants- and i tried booking two weeks in advance. There’s a grocery store about 15-20 mins away so we ate pre made sandwiches each day (I don’t want to cook on vacations!). Not the best. If you’re up for cooking, stunning views, peace and quiet- this is definitely the place for you. It’s absolutely the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen

What a find! Thank you!
Thank you for a very relaxing & comfortable stay. We travelled as a group of four and the property suited our needs perfectly; it would easily accommodate six too without feeling crowded. The views from all rooms were just stunning, from sunrises & sunsets to star gazing at night. The property is well insulated with triple glazing so even on a chilly November night, the underfloor heating maintained a comfortable temperature with the bonus of a wood burner for extra heat. Every detail seemed to have been catered for including rain showers in the en-suites, amble storage with walk in wardrobes, a coat & boot area with bench, a utility & drying room, very comfortable seating & dining area… I could go on! Location wise was perfect, yes it’s fairly remote but that’s the beauty of it. However all of Skye’s key attractions (Fairy Pools, Coral Beach, Quairang mountain range, Portree etc) are within 30 mins to an hour’s drive with breathtaking scenery all along the island. Thank you once again!

Salt winds at lochbay waternish
Great communication from host, even had a bottle of wine waiting on the dinning table when we arrived so lovely. A tablet showing us what to do and where to go in the area, videos of host showing us how to use the television and washing machine, also polite signage of how to use sliding doors and windows. Looks exactly like the photos 📷 Amazing so worth it and such a lovely place ❤ I stayed with my mum and sister we all would most definitely book this place again.

Excellent first class accommodation! Book yourself into the Stein Inn for a few meals, and for the adventurous, a trip to St Kilda. Coffee in the Yurt at Skyeskins. Or do nothing at all but just gaze restfully out the window at the magnificent views.

Remote, but delightful setting
We very much enjoyed the views from Salt Winds and were able to explore most of Skye during the week we were there. A few things were not quite as expected, but the response from Skye Serviced Accommodation was instant and the problems were resolved within hours. They take great care of their clients, and we appreciated that.

Amazing stay
The house is located on a hill with amazing views over the water and on the cliffs behind them. The house itself is also wonderful, with an open large living space, excellent kitchen with appliances and 3 bedrooms that all have their own bathroom and toilet. It has a superb location and is very well equipped. Will definitely plan to stay here again!

Beautiful house at a quiet location, facilities can be improved
We have a wonderful holiday on Skye. Salt Winds locates at a great location with beautiful sunset view everyday! The house is comfortable but facilities can be improved because a blind on one of the full length window in the living room is missing, a light bulb is missing. We end up changed 2 9V batteries to the smoke alarms in and outside the Twin Room due to noise came off during the night.

Absolutely amazing stay at beautiful home with the best views on Skye! Everything was perfect, very clean, with lovely extra touches like olive oil and cotton buds. Comfortable beds, great sofa, fab showers, chefs kitchen and we had a superb seafood meal at the Stein inn down the road. We will definitely be coming back to Saltwinds!!
