“The stillness here is remarkable, a profound quietude broken only by the distant sea or the wind across moorland. From the garden, the views unfurl dramatically, shifting from ancient mountains to the ocean stretching towards Skye. Inside, the Byre offers a welcome cosiness, where a powerful shower provides a revitalizing counterpoint to the rugged, otherworldly landscape.”

"After a day's walking, the shower in the Byre is little short of epic."
