Skye time - it’s not just words - but a whole way of life.

Here at Garybuie in the tucked away and beautiful Glenhinnisdal, there’s a chance to enjoy life as perhaps it should be - slow, relaxing, no hustle and bustle, with time to stop and stare, take in the stunning scenery and simply...relax!!!

Whether you are staying in the beautifully appointed self catering apartment, or enjoying the tranquil, yet magnificent surroundings while being pampered as a B&B guest, you’re certain to slot into Skye time without even realising it. On Skye the pace is sedate and combined with the comfort and high quality facilities available at Garybuie, those every day stresses and strains will seem a million miles away.

 

Welcome to Garybuie

Garybuie - Gaelic for Yellow Garden, so named because of the glorious laburnum tree which blossoms at the front of the house in May and June - is set in the heart of Glenhinnisdal with the peace and quiet interrupted by little more than a swooping buzzard, passing deer or busy bee.
The nearest shop/pub/restaurant is five miles away in Uig, where ferries sail to the Outer Hebrides. Portree, the main town, is ten miles away and has everything you’d need from restaurants, to shops, the harbour with fresh fish, banks, a cinema and swimming pool.
As for Glenhinnisdal itself, there are just a handful of homes spread over two miles and edged by the eye-catching Trotternish ridge with its stunning views of the geologically world famous formations of the Quiraing. We have a salmon river in front of us and there is a loch with trout in the hills behind. Permits can be obtained to fish both. Walking - either seriously or just for a stroll - is literally point yourself in the direction you want to go, and set off - it’s that simple. While the quiet highways and byways make cycling an ideal way to look around.
Enjoy the sights, sounds and surroundings that make Glenhinnisdal the perfect place to relax
The sea is just over a mile away from us or for the hardy there’s always the option of a plunge into the burn fed waters of the River Hinnisdal as it tumbles through the glen. See basking seals just around the coast and walk on a coral beach or why not call at the longest inhabited castle in Scotland or visit the burial place of Flora MacDonald who helped Bonnie Prince Charlie escape.

Skye itself has been described by many as the most scenically spectacular of all Scotland’s islands. With 350 miles of coastline to enjoy, the craggy peaks of the Cuillin ridge to take in and the series of beautiful sea lochs to make your way around - or across - there will be plenty to enjoy while you’re on Skye time.

HOW TO FIND US
Garybuie is situated around 10 miles out from Portree, the main town of Skye, (a 10-15 minute drive) and five miles from Uig, with its ferry to the Western Isles (5-10 minute drive). Portree has a variety of dining and shopping facilities, as has Uig although on a smaller scale.
If coming to Garybie via the Skye bridge or if you have crossed by ferry to Armadale follow the signs for Portree and as you are coming in to the town look out for and then follow the signs to Uig, along the A87. After 10 miles or so you will see a sign for the River Hinnisdal, followed almost immediately by a right hand turn sign for Glenhinnisdal itself. Head up the Glen for 1 mile and you come to Garybuie, we are the house by the red telephone box.
Alternatively if arriving at Uig on the ferry, then head out on the A87 to Portree. After five miles look for a left turn in to Glenhinnisdal.
