“The Airstream came with the house when we bought it, and was tucked away in the garden with this incredible view. We immediately fell for its character and setting and knew we wanted to keep it as a place for guests to stay. It’s a tiny place, but there’s something very special about switching off here and just watching the landscape outside for hours.” Owners Celina & Mat

““Curling up in the evening, when the little lamp throws this gorgeous warm glow across the curved metal walls and ceiling.“
We love
The little window-side dining spot: surely one of Skye’s best tables for 2.

No, sorry, this is an adults-only space.
Yes, you’ll need a car to get here, and to get around Skye. It’s a 15-minute drive to Carbost where you’ll find a great pub, restaurant and shops.
There’s no router in the Airstream but the 5G is excellent so you can hotspot.
The Airstream is on the same property as the owners’ holiday house and a guest annexe, but it’s a little walk away from both, surrounded by nature. The house is only visited occasionally, and the annexe is only rentable in high season. So while you’re not completely isolated, the Airstream feels peaceful and private.
No, the min stay is 3 nights, but you can check in on any day, subject to availability on the calendar.
With built-in heating, as well as an additional freestanding heater to keep it extra cosy during the colder months.
