Newton is an attractive traditional Skye house that is perfectly located within over four acres of grounds, with its own secluded shoreline.

Sleeping up to nine guests, it was once the owners year-round family home for twenty years. It is furnished to a high standard with pictures, carpets, curtain materials and over one thousand books that bear this out, not to mention the large red Aga cooker and a Broadwood baby-grand piano.

On the edge of the charming village of Ardvasar, Newton is private, yet benefits from having a shop and good hotel within 200 metres.

The Peninsula of Sleat is at the most southerly end of the Isle of Skye and is often referred to as “The Garden of Skye” due to its fertile wooded terrain that provides some of the very finest views, west to the Cuillin and Small Isles and east to the white sands of Morar and remote Knoydart.

Sleat has several medium and top-class eating places including Claire Macdonald’s Michelin starred Kinloch Lodge. Armadale Castle, with fine gardens and the Museum of the Isles is less than a mile from Newton, as is the much-recommended ferry for Mallaig, Rum, Eigg, Muck or Canna.

Excellent walks are to be had all around where you will often see Otters who are also frequent visitors on Newtons private shoreline, and whale-watching cruises start from the local pier. The rest of the island of Skye and adjacent mainland offer some of the most beautiful and dramatic coastal and mountain scenery in Britain, and also Dunvegan and Eilean Donan Castles and many many other attractions.
