Reassuringly, whatever the weather on Skye, there’s always a warm welcome to greet you at Braes Retreat.
With the warm and cosy feel from the stove the open-plan apartment is extremely comfortable and inviting. Having been recently totally refurbished and maintained to an exacting standard, it is both very well appointed and presented. Come and experience the Braes Retreat "wow factor" and you'll soon understand why guests return time and again.
The accommodation, which is on two floors, comprises of the following:

Garden
You are very welcome to share and enjoy our garden during your stay, whether it's to sit and relax on the seating provided or wander amongst the trees and shrubs, listening to the birds and the constant sound of the burn making its way through the garden.
There are three bridges crossing the burn and pathways which wind through the garden, taking you to the croft land at the bottom. Here you can meet the chickens and pick the fruit if it's the right time of year.
The views of the surrounding area vary so much at different points in the garden. The changes in the weather, the direction of the sun, boats on the water in the Sound of Raasay and the ever-changing view to Glamaig make it both interesting as well as tranquil.
This photo is the view down over the garden from the apartment front bedroom window. Please do take a look at the photos on the Garden Gallery page to get more of a feel for what awaits you....
