Owner's Description

Aird View was built in 1976, and was recently refurbished to feature new UPVC double glazing throughout.

The bungalow has oil fired central heating with radiators in every room.

The comfortably furnished lounge/diner has two large windows taking in spectacular views over the sea to Raasay.

There is a range of books, local information leaflets and games and puzzles - for those rare occasions when you may want to stay indoors.

The kitchen is modern, with a full size electric cooker, microwave oven, 2-door fridge/freezer, automatic washing machine, tumble dryer, and iron and ironing board.

Bedroom 1 is very spacious and very quiet - the window is to the side and looks out towards Beinn Tiennavaig.All three double bedrooms feature divan beds, and have built-in wardrobes providing ample shelf and hanging space.Bedrooms 2 and 3 face the front, with views over the surrounding countryside, towards Raasay, Rona, Scalpay and the mainland.

The bathroom is smart and clean, with wc, wash hand basin, and bath with over-bath electric shower.

There are fenced garden areas to both sides of the bungalow. On a sunny day - where better to relax and enjoy that view...? The nearby coast is a "must" to explore. Physical features include caves, stacks, arches, and blowholes.

There are resident seabird colonies, and if you are lucky, porpoises and even whales may be spotted

Things You Need To Know

Skye is a rural island. There are no shops within reasonable walking distance of any Skye Holidays properties. There are small but well stocked Co-op supermarkets in Portree and Broadford. All over the island you will find shops selling a surprisingly wide range of items.

In Scotland, there are few English-style pubs. However, most hotels have a bar which is open to non-residents. There are no hotels within reasonable walking distance of any Skye Holidays properties. Portree, Broadford and Dunvegan all have a selection of hotels with bars.

Winter days are short and may be wet and cold, but there will be sparkling clear days when the sun glistens on the snow on the Cuillin.

Summers are warmer, but can still be quite wet, and the midges are active from June to September. The roads are busier too...

It's a well kept secret - but May is probably the best month to visit Skye...
