What visitors say
We had the greatest time staying in a wigwam. The sun welcomed us after a few rainy days on Skye, which made our arrival that much more exciting. Dave recommended The Old Inn pub close-by for dinner, which had a great atmosphere (reservation recommended). On our way back we got to experience a beautiful sunset on the nearby pier. The bunkhouse and wigwam were very clean and exactly as described. Dave lives close-by and we could reach him at any time, which was an added bonus. Would definitely recommend for an escape to nature, as it felt very relaxing and the location was beautiful.

Absolutely fantastic stay. David is a wonderful host and The Cabin was the perfect space and base for a few days hiking and scrambling. Its been carefully planned to have everything you need. Will definitely be back.

Best value for money on the island, and one of the best locations. Out of the busy parts but well connected with great views. Close to oyster shack, the old inn, Tallisker and cafe cuil. Dave is a great host who keeps the place immaculate.
