GARRAIDH GHORM POD, Portree

Garraidh Ghorm Pod is a 3-star holiday home on a croft farm overlooking the sea at Portree. Sheep graze in the pastures directly outside the door, and waves crash on the rocky shore within view. Underfloor heating in the living space keeps the pod warm during cold Skye weather.

The one-bedroom holiday home has a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. A fully equipped kitchen provides a refrigerator, microwave, stovetop, toaster, and electric kettle, plus a sofa in the living area. Guests have access to a garden and private parking.

The pod sits in the far north of Skye, 94 km from Benbecula Airport. The nearest shops are a 20 to 30 minute drive away, so food should be brought in advance. This isolated position gives quiet and dark skies for stargazing.

Fishing and cycling are available nearby, with quiet farm roads and shore walks starting directly from the property. Cyclists can explore the surrounding pastures and coastline. The sea views and open skies extend across the land around the pod.

The property is non-smoking throughout and has private parking. The owners leave fresh eggs from their chickens, and a baking box at the main-road turnoff sells cakes. The owners have offered to extend stays when weather or road conditions made leaving the island difficult.
