You’ll feel as though you’ve stepped between the glossy pages of a high-end style magazine as you explore your sumptuous, clean-lined surroundings, which feature a seemingly endless supply of sensory delights.

These include an al fresco hot tub for stargazing in that enormous night sky, and a Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser to help you mix the best hot chocolate ever – perfect for chilly days!

Not to mention the enormous bathroom with its freestanding bathtub, a ready supply of luxury Arran Aromatics toiletries, and incredible sea-and-mountain views.

You’ll find plenty of tasteful, eye-catching examples of Skye art and craftsmanship throughout the retreat, too; each one personally chosen by welcoming hosts Matthew and Rebecca. Their full focus is on ensuring you feel comforted and relaxed during your stay, blissfully reconnected both with yourselves and the beautiful natural world.

As such, you’ll soon discover a wealth of hygge-infused snuggle-spots to help you unwind in style, from the spacious open-plan lounge with its squishy sofas and soft-glowing log-burner, to the bedroom’s cushion-festooned window seat and Juliet balcony.
