Is Lakefield Apartment Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
The barn conversion sits within working farmland where children can see sheep grazing and experience real Highland countryside. Open fields surround the property for outdoor exploration. The rural location offers fresh air and space to run around. However, the farm setting requires supervision and the traditional barn features mean it suits older children better than toddlers.
Groups Will Love...
The original stone walls form the most striking feature of this Highland barn conversion. Thick stones stacked generations ago when this was a working agricultural building now create authentic character throughout your stay. These walls provide natural insulation and frame windows that look across farmland to mountains. The stonework connects you directly to Skye's farming heritage and traditional building methods still visible across the island today.
Pet Friendly
Lakefield Apartment does not accept pets due to its working farm location. Sheep graze in surrounding fields and the agricultural setting means dogs cannot be accommodated safely. The property sits within active farmland where livestock management takes priority. If you're travelling with a dog, you'll need to find alternative accommodation on Skye that welcomes pets in a non-farming environment.
