The Field House. Avernish

A timber eco-build close to Skye and with spectacular views over Loch Alsh.

Situated high on the coast of Loch Alsh, in the crofting community of Avernish, The Field House was designed not just as a comfortable place to come back to at the end of a day in the Highlands, but also as a home to escape to where staying in feels as good as going out.

Located close to Skye, Torridon and the Five Sisters of Kintail, it’s the perfect location for a host of outdoor activities. On the days you don’t fancy venturing beyond the doorstep, the clean minimal styling, large, well-equipped modern kitchen and gorgeous views make staying in as good as going out.

Sleeping four, the house is kept warm in winter, cool in summer by energy-efficient climate control. Want to be cosier? Light the log burner and toast your toes. The wrap-around open plan living space has full-length windows and allows for easy socialising when cooking, eating or relaxing in front of the fire. After a day in the hills or on the water dump your kit in the utility, where there’s all the space you’ll need for damp clothing and muddy boots. No need to queue to clean yourself up, each of the two double bedrooms has its own bathroom with large walk-in shower.
