Description from owner
Description
The Captain's House is a two-bedroom, self-catering flat occupying the first and second floors of the traditional Captains House in the centre of the historic fishing village of Stein, a conservation area on the shores of Loch Bay situated on the west coast of the Waternish peninsula of North Western Skye.
The flat is traditionally furnished throughout and has electric storage heaters and a real fire (coal & logs), fire alarm cover, and a pay-phone. It sits above our craftshop and gallery. It shares the front door but is securely partitioned off from the ground floor with its own locked door. There is also a private door to the secluded rear garden.
Across the road on the shore is a second private garden for the flat residents. Ample parking space is available at the front of the house and to the side.
The well known Stein inn and Lochbay Seafood Restaurant are yards away and the Captains House has a fascinating history of its own.

“Captains House”
Location was perfect, views across Lochbay from all the front windows was superb. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best so didn't get a sunset. The apartment was clean and tidy and was equipped with everything we needed and was a lot bigger than we first thought. There was a telly and dvd player but we was out most of the time so never used them. And when we were there the views from the windows beat anything on TV. Theres pub and a restaurant with in meters of the property as well as a pop up cafe nearby that sells proper coffee and one of the best chocolate brownies. Communication with Path & Cathy before during and after was excellent. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back again.
