<p>Coastal house in the Scottish Highlands, close to the Isle of Skye, with spectacular views over Loch Alsh</p>

The Field House. Avernish

We worked out this holiday that we have stayed in over 50 different places in Scotland over the years. Some shocking, many average...and then there are the highlights and this is one. Personally I'm a lover of a "Scandi Shed" and this is one the nicest we have stayed in. The designer touches from the Vitra chairs, Le Creuset pans and lovely Finnish throws were much appreciated as was the clever tech and much enjoyed bean to cup coffee machine. Russel had put so much thought into the equipment and layout of this R House to make it practical and beautiful. The location is just perfect - quick to Skye and so many fabulous Munros to tackle of the doorstep - we managed 6. And will be back to tackle more. After such a hot summer, the rainy days were welcome respite and the house just perfect to sit in, chill and watch the weather on Loch Duich. We will be back.

Stylish and chilled

We love Scotland and generally visit for a week or two each Summer to do some hiking and, for each visit, I try and find an architecturally distinctive, well equipped, self-catering cabin or cottage situated in beautiful, quiet countryside with great views that can sleep 2+ people at what I consider reasonable value.

We've stayed in tree houses, Scandi-style cabins, cottages, on or off the large estates etc.

Every year we find something great and this year we found The Field House which was no exception - it's a superb place to stay and I couldn't recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for this type of accommodation.

The location's superb - we used it to do local hikes on/off Skye and also to visit Plockton where we tried Sea Kayaking for the first time (also highly recommended). The house stands within its own space with superb views onto the water and feels entirely tranquil but other houses and people are within yelling distance & it's only 5mins drive to get back onto the main road so you're quickly off to wherever you want to go on a particular day.

The style and architecture of the house are perfect for me - it's clean, it's modern, it's insulated and quiet, it was generously spacious for 2 people and it's immediately clear that a lot of care and thought has gone into the design, layout, furnishing and equipping of the house to make it great for guests to use. It'd be impossible to list everything that impressed but from the moment you enter and find thoughtful space for storage and handling of outdoor gear (pegs, boxes, seating, utility area) on into the superbly laid out kitchen which had everything that we needed plus more besides and then just "simple" things like ensuring that the TV works & you can easily access modern, streaming services without hassle.

Beyond that, sleep quality here was superb, the bathrooms are excellent - everything feels "like new" and worked perfectly and it felt like a privilege to start a morning here with yoga on the supplied mats, porridge from the kitchen and superb views over the loch.

Last, but by no means least, the processes and communications with The Field House during the bookings, deposits, pre- and post- stay were as good as any I've seen and the little guide book that came through our front door a few weeks before arrival really set the scene for how well thought out the stay at The Field House is.

I'd highly recommend a stay at The Field House. I'll stay there again as/when I'm back in that area and big thanks and congratulations to The Field House for providing such an excellent place to stay. 

It's pretty much prefect :-)

Pretty Much Perfect

We had a great time at the Field House. Brilliant location for hikes in Glenshiel and Skye. The house is as lovely as it looks in the pictures and a great space for any weather. Russell was very efficient and easy to communicate with.

Hard recommend

Wonderful location, great vista and very well equipped and comfortable house. Pity the weather was so foul for much of the time, but still great to visit Skye again and the Highlands. The owner was very helpful with a query, and particularly in returning forgotten shoes!
