Description from owner

Description

Calath is a self-catering house situated within 20 minutes walk from the village of Carbost on the west coast of Skye. It is a modern house designed by the award winning architects Dualchas, completed in 2003.

The house has three large double bedrooms and can sleep up to eight people comfortably. There is a large open plan dining/lounge area where the views to the loch and of the whole of the Cuillin ridge must be seen to be believed.

The house is in a quiet location overlooking the village and loch. It gets the sun from sunrise to late in the evening and unusually for Skye is relatively untroubled by midges! There is ample parking space for up to four cars.
