Everything! What a perfect, quiet location, with amazing views to Skye and the Western Isles. Short walk to the beach. Lovely outdoor area with bench and table. Everything you need in the apartment. Friendly hosts. Lots to do in the local area in terms of walking, climbing, kayaking & wildlife. Can't wait to come back!
United KingdomHosts, view, location, propery, surrounding area........
United KingdomWe knew from when we booked what the key procedure was. On arrival we were welcomed very warmly. Mark, our host remained outside as everything had been disinfected as per Covid19 procedure. Mark explained to us how they can be reached during our stay, just in case we needed something. We had requested a slightly earlier check in, which they happily obliged to, as in November it gets dark very early. The apartment is value for money and everything has been done with loving care.
United KingdomThe views were sensational, especially at sunset.
United KingdomCharming apartment, pretty isolated , which we liked. Stunning views from all areas of house. Clean, tidy and lovely en suite bedrooms, Would highly recommend staying. Mark and Maria are about should you need them, but they leave you to your own thing. Garden is lovely with views down to the beach, which is a must if you get the weather. Maria has three beautiful cats, friendly and clearly happy in their habitat. Had a great time, thanks
United KingdomShiskine is in a fabulous location, overlooking the sea and the islands of Skye and the Outer Hebrides. We enjoyed using the beach below the property, which was generally empty and it felt like our own private beach! The property is very well equipped and we enjoyed cooking meals there. Owners very friendly and helpful, thanks for a lovely stay Mark and Maria.
United KingdomLocation was unbelievable, with splendid views, very clean, had everything we needed in the kitchen. The DVD collection was a nice addition to our stay. Great showers and bedrooms. Easy to locate. Great hosts. Easy to get to a store when needed (15-20 mins to Gairloch). You will not regret a stay here.

Shiskine is a self catering holiday apartment in the small crofting community of Aultgrishan, 8 miles north of Gairloch, right on the coast, with stunning views over The Minch to the Isle of Skye, The Shiant Isles, and the Isles of Harris and Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. It is entirely self-contained, occupying the first floor of the owner’s house, and is accessed via its own separate entrance. It has 2 ensuite bedrooms with king size beds and egyptian cotton bedding, and one of the bedrooms also has a single bed. There is an equipped kitchen, a lounge and dining area, and a large foyer.
We live on the ground floor of the building and are generally available each day, We will be very happy to help you with anything you might need.
The apartment has absolutely stunning views of the ocean, islands and mountains in every direction. We are very close to a beautiful empty beach although there is a fairly short but steep descent (on grass) at one point . Well worth it though! The area surrounding the apartment is crofting land with sheep and cattle wandering freely. It is a very quiet and tranquil environment with abundant wildlife. If you are looking for peace and quiet, and a place to relax and unwind, then this is it!
