We offer accommodation in the spacious MacLeod Apartment in the upper west wing of the House.


The Sitting Room

If you read the history of Orbost House, you will see that this wing used to be servants quarters. Yes, that is what you get: the servants quarters and they come with a quirky, Harry-Potter-like charm. 

Nowadays though, the MacLeod Apartment has been adapted and changed into a nice and cosy holiday apartment, which is ideally placed to capture the magnificent views of ocean and mountains. It consist of two bed rooms, a sitting room, a big kitchen, and bathroom. Prices for renting range from £295 to £475 per week, depending on the season.

The Double-Bed Roo

Within a short walk, down a quiet farm road, there is a sandy beach where children can play happily for hours, exploring the rock pools.  Further away, but still within easy walking distance, are MacLeod's Maidens (rock stacks rising from the sea) and MacLeod's Tables (high, flat-topped hills.)  

Serious climbers will be drawn inexorably to the mighty Cuillins, but there are plenty of opportunities round about for gentler exercise - pony trekking, boat trips to view the basking seals or simply exploring the Duirinish and Waternish peninsulae close by.

The Kitchen
The town closest to Orbost is Dunvegan, offering shopping facilities, a tourist office and, of course, Dunvegan Castle and its gardens


 

The Twin-Bedroom


Skye's main town of Portree (all facilities) is 20 miles away.  However, there is no need to go that far for a meal out.  The world famous Three Chimneys restaurant is just up the road, and good food at a more reasonable price can also be found at the Stein Inn or the Lochbay Seafood restaurant.
