    Scotsman newspaper review
    The Bothy at Number 7 is a new one-bedroomed cottage - 5-star rated - rising on the site of an old wood and stone building on croft Number 7 Achachork, overlooking Portree and the Cuillin mountains, on the Isle of Skye. Designed by local award winning architects, it provides luxurious accommodation for two with no expense spared in its construction and fitting out.

    King-size bedroom

    Bathing for two, with a view

    A kitchen with everything
    • The bedroom’s King-size half-tester double bed and fitted furniture has been specially built by Scotland’s biggest hotel furnisher. There are views of Ben Tianavaig to the east and the rolling moors to the west – or satellite tv – all from the comfort of your bed.
    • The bathroom has a large oval bath, walk in multi-head shower, toilet, bidet and wash basin, and all towels will be provided along with little extras.
    • The kitchen, fitted out in solid oak, provides dual-fuel cooking (gas hob), microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge, freezer, and breakfast bar.

    The view south
    • The living area has a cathedral ceiling up to rafter level and its huge picture windows look south to Portree and the Cuillin mountains, and west with its promise of spectacular sunsets.
    A western sunset
    Lounge here enjoying the views, or widescreen satellite tv or – simplicity itself – the contemporary HWAM Vivaldi wood-burning stove. There is a cosy dining area next to the west window for romantic dinners.

    The Bothy has been built with leisure in mind. 
    The Helo 2-person sauna
    Ascend the spiral staircase to the “leisure suite” for a Finnish sauna, Gold's Gym cross-trainer exercise machine, and invigorating shower. Or check your email or favourite websites on the broadband enabled PC. A telephone is provided so there are no excuses for not keeping in touch.
