Bothies were originally developed to provide basic shelter for weary travelers seeking refuge from the elements. However, this newly built cabin is anything but, with a light-filled, spacious kitchen, pillowy soft king-size bed, a study, and dining area, topped with statement vaulted ceilings. Breakfast is on the house thanks to a starter pack of goodies you’ll find in the pantry—bread, butter, milk—and fluffy sheepskin rugs and textures ensure you’ll feel right at home. Outside, you’ve got views all along the Trotternish Ridge, from Quiraing through to Staffin Bay. Some guests have even been lucky enough to see the northern lights from the deck. Ratings are seriously impressive for this Airbnb. It’s maintained a five-star rating with 465 reviews, putting it in the top one percent of homes on the platform—an unusual feat.
