Moeraki is ideally located for exploring all of Skye and many places can easily be visited on the mainland west coast within a day. The area offers a wealth of visitor attractions including castles, museums and boat tours; and there are many things to do including land sailing, golf, pony trekking, cycling and fishing. The Isle of Skye is justly famous for the exceptional landscapes it provides for walking, climbing, boating and sea kayaking. Moeraki also provides great opportunities to watch wildlife from the house as well as further afield and culturally there are many artisan places to discover as well as fine dining including the both Kinloch Lodge and the famous Three Chimney's Restaurant that both now have Michelin Star awards. From the lounge or out on the decking relax and soak up the ever changing views; enjoy a glass of wine in the evening watching the sunset over the island of Scalpay and the evening light over the mountains of Applecross. Once the true darkness envelopes enjoy the amazing star scapes and you may even be lucky enough to witness the Aurora Borealis! Later feel snug watching the flickering flames of the wood burning stove. After a comfortable night's sleep take pleasure in leisurely waking up to the sound of the sea!

Fabulous, comfortable home from home
We had a wonderful week at Moeraki and the weather was very good to us. The house is very comfortable with everything you could need and more. The location is great with fabulous views, sitting on the sofa looking out of the lounge doors over Broadford Bay towards Kishorn and Applecross (so relaxing). Amenities within walking distance including restaurants, coffee shops and a supermarket. Would highly recommend this property.

Marvelous location and super cosy, well equipped and directly on the sea.
The house is in a marvelous location, with outstanding sea views great sunsets and beach access. Sleeping with the sound of the waves. It was very cosy, even by wet and windy weather. We had a toddler with us and the house was ideal for him too. Broadford has good services and a good variety of restaurants and was ideal a location for touring the island. Thank you, it could not have been better!

A beautiful house in a stunning location
A beautiful house in a stunning location. Well furnished, with everything you could need during your stay. Extremely convenient location - much easier to get to than Portree properties. Comfortable, large beds in good-sized bedrooms. Large kitchen with lots of equipment. Welcoming and friendly host. The views over the sea to the mainland are incredible as it is right on the shore. Lots of wildlife to be seen, including otters just below the house. Masses of things to do nearby. Would definintely recommend.

Thank you, Helen. It is good to hear things from a guest's point of view and we are glad you appreciated the large comfortable beds and the well-equipped kitchen. I am also delighted that you were able to spot the otters which is a special treat :-)

Fantastic property in a stunning location.
Having stayed at the sister property (Cuan Beag) further North, last year (well worth it), we decided to stay at Moeraki as it is nearer to amenities. The house is in a stunning location. The views from the living room (and first 2 bedrooms) are gorgeous and the changing light and tides mean the vista is constantly changing. The house itself is extremely well equipped and comfortable. Perfect for self catering, but within walking distance to nearby bars/hotels/restaurants/shops. Despite the weather being largely wet and windy we really enjoyed our week.

Just what we needed ...
We stayed for a week in October and our stay was so relaxing. The views are amazing across the bay with such a dramatic and ever an changing sky. We have stayed all over Skye over the years and this cottage is a now a favourite. It is well thought through, decorated and warm. Everything you need is there and the location is just right for exploring the island. We traveled travelled the whole island from Neist Point lighthouse to Elgol, and being just a 15 minute walk from the supermarket made life so much easier. Best of all was the help and support we received from Jenny while arranging the holiday and after we arrived. We will most certainly book again. Thank you Jenny, it was such a good holiday.

Great property with views across the water
Excellent location, wonderful views and super facilities within the property. Would certainly recommend staying here. The only problem was that going mid October many of the smaller shops across the island had closed for the season.

Excellent holiday home.
Moreaki is a beautiful, very well thought out holiday home. Extremely comfortable and very well equipped. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay for a week in Moreaki. 7 adults, with plenty room to spread out. The beds were extremely comfortable for a good night's sleep, great showers, plenty hot water, dishwasher, washing machine and tumbler dryer for easy holiday living. The view from the living room is stunning. It's a picture that constantly changes with the tide. Jenny, the owner, was so helpful and very quick to respond to any questions. We found the location in Broadford so handy, local walks, and the shops not far from the house. We spent a lovely day in Portree, and driving round the Trotternish peninsula, taking in the sights. We stopped off at The old man of Storr, Lealt gorge, kilt rock, the Quiraing, Duntulm Castle and Flora MacDonald's resting place, each all just a few minutes from the road side. The fairy pools and the coral Beach are worth a visit. Take the ferry over to Raasay, lunch at the distillery is definitely recommend. As are the whisky and gin tasting flights. A walk at Sligachan is easy underfoot, (waterproofs are recommended), the scenery was dramatic. Moeraki was a welcoming place to return to each day, ending each day relaxing in the living room, catching up over a wee dram. If you are thinking of a holiday on Skye, Moreaki will more than live up to your expectations of what a holiday home should be, I have no hesitation in recommending Moreaki.

Lovely stay at Moreaki
Moreaki is one of the nicest holiday homes I have ever stayed in. Everything about it is good, from the very comfortable beds, powerful, hot showers to the extremely well equipped kitchen. And of course the wonderful view! I would highly recommend this property.

Superb accommodation on the wonderful Isle of Skye
We had a wonderfull stay on the Isle of Skye. Although the weather was quite wet, this never bothered. Even staying inside you have a spectacular view over the bay outside. Inside everything is equipped like home and makes it feel like home the moment you step inside. The sound of the coming and going of the tide make it peaceful when sitting in the evening sun on the terrace. All the clear and helpfull information provided by Jenny before and during our stay, makes, even though check-in is contact-less, you can feel a warm welcome.

Excellent Family Gathering
This was a family reunion for six of us after Christmas and New Year and what a fantastic setting. The Beach, the shops and restaurant/cafes. Not too far from the Skye Bridge and only a 30min drive to the main town of Portree .We new that quite a few places would be closed it being just after Christmas but that did not effect our holiday. We managed to get to the Fairie Pools and to the Talisker distillery, which is fabulous. The house was perfect for out family gathering, the kitchen is a great size and fabulously equipped. The house is very roomy and the beds were very comfortable and having a ensuite bathroom in two of the rooms was great. It was so relaxing sitting by the patio and watching the ebbing and flowing of the water. We all loved this house and the owners are very easy to contact and very helpful, I would highly recommend staying at Moeraki.
