Converted Church Holiday Home in Portnalong - Adults Only
The Property & Conversion
The Tin Church is a converted church building with its original tin roof and a beautifully crafted wooden interior. The owners have filled the space with local Scottish art, including artworks on the walls and even leaf-shaped designs on the light switches. The one-bedroom house offers a unique architectural experience with a fireplace, parquet floors, and a fully fitted kitchen.
Amenities & Comfort
The kitchen includes a dishwasher, cooker, microwave, and washing machine, along with smart storage solutions throughout the property. A generous supply of firewood is provided for the wood-burning stove, with clear instructions for lighting a fire. The bathroom is modern and clean, and the entire house is non-smoking with heating for cooler evenings.
Outdoor Spaces
Guests can use the sun terrace, garden, and picnic area with outdoor furniture and dining facilities. The property also provides bicycle parking for those exploring the surrounding area. Nature watching opportunities include views of sea eagles, and the isolated setting offers a quiet pocket of calm away from busy roads.
Location & Activities
Fiskavaig Bay Beach is 1.7 km from the property, and Dunvegan Castle lies 39 km away by road. Benbecula Airport is 133 km distant, making this a remote base for exploring the Isle of Skye. Walking guides are available in the living room, and the area is rated highly for its suitability for nature trips.
Guest Experience
Previous guests have rated the property 10/10 and made repeat visits, noting the attention to detail and well-appointed appliances. The location is described as isolated but well situated for seeing the sights of Skye, with the Old Inn at Carbost a 5-minute drive away. The pattering of rain on the tin roof is a common soundtrack for sleeping soundly.
