Silverwood by Skye & Shore is a beautifully designed one-bedroom retreat on the Isle of Skye's idyllic Waternish peninsula. With floor-to-ceiling windows framing breathtaking views of Isay and Mingay, it’s the perfect escape for couples or solo travellers seeking peace and comfort. Finished to the highest standard, Silverwood offers warmth, style, and tranquillity.
The Space
Nestled just above the coast of the Waternish Peninsula, Silverwood is a beautifully proportioned single-storey retreat designed for those seeking peace, luxury and panoramic sea views. Floor-to-ceiling windows dominate the front elevation, framing the view across Isay and Mingay to the Outer Hebrides, and filling the living space with ever-changing light.
The interior is thoughtfully designed with quality in every detail: a wood-burning stove creates a warm, comforting atmosphere, while the open-plan layout enhances the spacious feel. With its elevated position — just 60 metres above the coast and adjacent to a croft — the view is your constant companion, whether you’re curled by the fireplace on a rain-laced evening or sipping wine on the terrace as dusk descends.
For nights when skies are clear, Silverwood sits within a designated Dark Sky region. When the world outside fades, the stars come alive — offering guests a rare, expansive canopy overhead that complements the serenity within.
The Area
Set on one of Skye’s most captivating peninsulas, Waternish offers a rare balance of seclusion, scenery, and sophistication. The landscape is wide and open — rolling croft land meeting dramatic cliffs and endless sea — a place where tranquility comes naturally.
A short drive away lies the coastal village of Stein, home to the acclaimed Loch Bay Restaurant, a Michelin-starred gem celebrating the best of local seafood, and the historic Stein Inn, Skye’s oldest pub with charm and views to match. Nearby, you’ll find artisan studios and galleries such as Skye Skyns tannery, Skíō Pottery, and local craft workshops showcasing the island’s creative spirit.
For those drawn to the outdoors, Waternish offers coastal walks, sea kayaking, and wildlife encounters — from dolphins and sea eagles to seals basking on the rocks below. As night falls, this designated Dark Sky area reveals a canopy of stars few places in the world can rival.
Peaceful yet rich with character, Waternish is a destination in itself — the perfect backdrop for a luxurious stay that captures the essence of Skye’s untamed beauty.
