The House
Tern House is a traditional Skye whitehouse, restored and renovated in recent years by renowned highland architects Dualchas. Nestled in the north-west of Skye at the heart of Waternish, it now provides a relaxing island hideaway for up to 6 guests, featuring stunning views across the peninsula to the Outer Hebrides. 
Modern, eco-friendly farmhouse  self-catering in an unforgettable location. The village of Stein with  the Michelin starred Loch Bay restaurant is only an 8 minute walk away.
The Space:
Tern  House features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, all with fitted  showers. One bedroom has a Super King size bed, one has a King size bed,  and the other features two single beds. 
The open plan  downstairs living area sweeps past the Hwam woodburner with adjacent  seating in to the rear kitchen extension. This is via a pair of Harris Tweed curtains which can be closed to provide privacy between the two  areas if required.
The kitchen is equipped with a 5 burner gas  hob paired with an electric Rangemaster oven and has black granite worktops  throughout. Ample quality kitchenware and crockery is provided.
Waternish  was recently connected to Fibre broadband and so Tern House features  download speeds of up to 150mb for home workers or leisurely  surfing/streaming of the internet. Wifi connectivity is strong  throughout the house.
Outside, the raised picnic table area  provides panoramic views down to Stein below and over Northwest to the  Outer Hebrides which are clearly visible on the horizon when weather  allows. This aspect also allows for beautiful sunsets year round as well  as a dramatic outlook to sea no-matter what the weather.
There  is parking for up to three cars and the site also features a small scale  wind turbine which has been erected to provide power for the  development and lower the carbon footprint of Tern House overall.
The Area:
A  8-minute stroll away is Stein, a conservation village which was  designed originally by Thomas Telford as a model fishing village at the  end of the 18th century. Stein boasts the renowned Loch Bay Restaurant,  the only Michelin-starred restaurant on the Island. Along the pretty  terrace, you will also find Skye's oldest pub, the Stein Inn, which  serves good food and local ales.
Waternish is home to a wealth  of beautiful shorelines to walk along, as well as forestry walks where  you can sometimes view amazing wildlife including golden eagles, sea  eagles, seals, dolphins, whales, otters and corncrakes. It also has  several popular visitor attractions including the 5-star Skyeskyns (next  door to the House), Scotland’s only traditional sheepskin tannery and  showroom.
Guest Access:
Guests  shall be able to access all areas of the house plus the outdoor garden  area in front of the house. This features a raised picnic table and  bench from which to enjoy the spectacular views.
EV Charging:
Tern House has a newly fitted 7kW EV chargepoint. Guests are asked to contact their host in advance if they wish to use this. Charges are an additional 50p per kW used, payable to your host after checking out. Ideally, please bring a 5 metre cable (or longer) for easy access.
