... a location rich with romance. Alive with history. A place of prehistoric extremes where jagged mountains look down on deserted beaches. Somewhere you can pass the day in splendid isolation or fill it with a tantalising trail of artists, craftsmen and fabulous local food. 

A place where time stands still. Where the sea meets sky in a blaze of golden sunsets.

Perfectly located within easy walking distance of the picturesque fishing village of Stein, with the oldest Inn on Skye and a restaurant serving locally caught seafood, La Bergerie is surrounded by history and nature. 

Visit Trumpan - now a ruined church but in times past witness to a brutal massace. Then walk on to Rubha Dubh at Ardmore, scene of an ancient battle between the clans MacLeod and MacDonald.

Explore Waternish Forest, a fabulous hike culminating in plummeting cliffs, imposing headlands and the deserted black coral sands of Sgorr Bay, frequented by seals, otters and countless seabirds.

Or take a picnic to enjoy at the furthest tip of Waternish Point. An old abandoned lighthouse sits in splendid coastal isolation, making the perfect vantage point for watching whales, dolphins, porpoises and eagles.

La Bergerie is also ideally placed to explore the remainder of Skye's wild beauty and natural treasures, from the jagged Cuillin mountains to the picturesque town of Portree, from the wild beauty of Kilt Rock, the Old Man of Storr and the Quirang at Trotternish to the ferry crossing from Uig for the Outer Hebridean Islands of Harris, Lewis and North Uist.
