About this villa rental
The three spacious bedrooms are all en-suite and enjoy stunning views, uninterrupted from floor to ceiling across Lochbay to the Outer Hebrides. Luxury french linen, deep pile Egyptian cotton towels and local artisan Skye Soaps are provided for your use. The master and 2nd bedrooms have a King-sized bed, the third bedroom is a twin with two single beds.
The very well equipped kitchen which lords over the living space has been designed with the social inclusion of the chef in mind and will suit the keenest culinary requirements. The house in general includes all mod cons to make your stay with us as comfortable as possible. You really can consider Salt Winds to be your home away from home on the Isle of Skye.
The house benefits from some impressive eco-credentials. With triple glazed windows, extreme levels of insulation and draft proofing throughout. Thus, very little energy is lost from the highly efficient Air Source Heat Pump and wood burning stove. The entire floor space is heated from the slab below, and each individual room has independent thermostat controls to keep the ambient temperature exactly as you desire.
Pet Friendly - Pets are allowed in this property but they will be charged at £10 per night per pet to a maximum of 3 pets. We kindly ask if you can keep your pet off the furniture and beds for the duration of your stay. Must be crated or kenneled if left unattended, and must be on a current veterinarian approved flea & tick treatment.

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!!

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.

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.

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!
5.0
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.
5.0
What a wonderful stay here. Great location and the setting is gorgeous and the views are amazing. Short walk to waterfront on country road down to the charming Stein Inn Pub for lunch and dinner (make reservations). Wished we had spent a week or two! Highly recommend the Isle of Skye pony trekking therapy center for a pony ride!

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.

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!

From the moment of booking I have loved this place. Exactly as shown in pictures, everything you need home from home. breath taking view rain or shine .. which can occur in just a few seconds.stunning. Would highly recommend

Stayed at Salt Winds in early October with three generations - what an experience! The house is beautifully appointed and there are incredible views from every room. It faces west and we were able to see unreal sunsets 3 of the 4 nights we were there. The kitchen is well stocked and each room has its own bathroom and closet (rare in the UK). The house is fairly remote, but that's part of the experience! The little "town" of Waternish is lovely and the nearby pub the Stein is one of the best dining experiences we've ever had - definitely make a reservation! Really can't say enough good things about this property. If you're considering a Skye vacation and this house is available, look no further!!

It is truly an experience being in the isle of sky and this property made every day fabulous. We hiked enjoyed the views with a glass of wine and cooked our dinner in a beautiful kitchen.

We loved our stay at Salt Winds and would love to come back. Especially the view from the house is exceptional and we where so lucky with the weather.
5.0
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
5.0
The view is breathtaking! The house itself has an amazing kitchen, huge master bedroom and two other large bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms. Comfortable beds. The kitchen is spectacular. Any appliance you could ever need. Parking no problem, Internet no issue, etc. Such an amazing place we didn’t want to leave. Would love to come back someday! If you don’t book it you will be missing out!

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.

Superb Stay at Salt Winds
We loved our experience from the moment we booked to when we checked out. The communication was excellent with great recommendations and the place itself was exactly what we hoped for with the most amazing views. Would absolutely stay again.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
