Luxurious, shoreside hideaway on the Isle of Skye with uninterrupted views to the outer isles. Five star accommodation for two which was listed by the Sunday Times as one of the Coolest Cottages available. Perfectly summed up by owner Diana, interior designer and artist: We wanted to create something that was as dramatic as the scenery that surrounds.
Alan and Diana would like to welcome you to Number Ten. Number Ten is a wing attached to their home, studios, and gallery, offering a private entrance and garden. The property is set just above the shore, with uninterrupted views across Dunvegan Loch to The Coral Beach and the Outer Isles. Interior designer Diana, has created this luxurious space for two people to enjoy.
A beautiful mix of coastal moorland and mountains. Number Ten is set in the middle of a five acre field just above an intimate beach, only frequented by otters and bird life. A perfect area for the walker, historian, bird watcher or just put your feet up and enjoy the stunning uninterrupted views of the Outer Isles. We have the world famous Three Chimneys restaurant just ten minutes away. Plus a wonderful confectioner and a choice of restaurants in the area. Dunvegan Castle is forty minutes away with beautiful award winning gardens. Seal watching boat trips are very popular. Skye offers a huge variety of activities.

Exterior Details
Parking and a private south facing garden overlooking the sea. It sits in croft land just above the shore, with uninterrupted views across Loch Dunvegan to the Coral Beach and the Outer Hebrides. For Diana, an artist whose seascapes and landscapes are inspired by the ever-changing beauty of this coastline creating a garden on this wild coast was the ultimate challenge.
