    The house is beautifully and comfortably furnished. The owners have clearly thought of the small things, with helpful instructions and local recommendations; the kitchen was well stocked with equipment. The house was immaculate when we arrived....

Host review score
Tern House is a traditional Skye whitehouse, restored and renovated in recent years by award winning highland architects Dualchas. Nestled in the north-west of Skye at the heart of Waternish, it now provides a relaxing island hideaway for up to 6 guests, featuring stunning views across the peninsula to the Outer Hebrides. Modern, eco-friendly farmhouse self-catering in an unforgettable location. The village of Stein with the Stein Inn and Michelin starred Loch Bay restaurant is only an 8 minute walk away. The space: Tern House features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, all with fitted showers. One bedroom has a Super King size bed, one has a King size bed, and the other features two single beds. The open plan downstairs living area sweeps past the woodburner with adjacent seating in to the rear kitchen extension. This is via a pair of Harris Tweed curtains which can be closed to provide privacy between the two areas if required. The kitchen is equipped with a 6 burner gas hob paired with an electric Aga oven and has black granite worktops throughout. Ample quality kitchenware and crockery is provided. Waternish was recently connected to Fibre broadband and so Tern House features download speeds of up to 150mb for home workers or leisurely surfing/streaming of the internet. Wifi connectivity is strong throughout the house. Outside, the raised picnic table area provides panoramic views down to Stein below and over Northwest to the Outer Hebrides which are clearly visible on the horizon when weather allows. This aspect also allows for beautiful sunsets year round as well as a dramatic outlook to sea no-matter what the weather. There is ample parking for up to three cars on site and the house is centrally located to allow easy access to all of Skye's major tourist attractions. Facing West, gorgeous sunsets over the Outer Hebrides are a regular occurrence. Relax, unwind, and watch the world go by here in luxurious comfort.

Stein is a conservation village which was designed originally by Thomas Telford as a model fishing village at the end of the 18th Century. Tern House overlooks the village from up high and can be reached on foot by a steep path downhill in 8 minutes. Stein itself boasts the renowned Loch Bay Restaurant, the only Michelin-starred restaurant on the Island. Along the pretty terrace, you will also find Skye's oldest pub, the Stein Inn, which serves good food and local real ales. Waternish is home to a wealth of beautiful shorelines to walk along, as well as forestry walks where you can sometimes view amazing wildlife including golden eagles, sea eagles, seals, dolphins, whales, otters and corncrakes. It also has several popular visitor attractions including the 5-star Skyeskyns (next door to the House), Scotland’s only traditional sheepskin tannery and showroom.
