Where would you like to wake up?

Every one of these is somewhere we would book ourselves: crofter's houses on the cliffs with the sea in every window, shepherd huts and bothies on working crofts, a lighthouse keeper's cottage on an island of its own, and hotels in old hunting lodges and Victorian houses by the water.

The Three Chimneys at Colbost began life as the village shop.

The whitewashed cottage on the shore of Loch Dunvegan served the people of Colbost as their shop. In the 1960s it passed to Peter MacAskill, and it became a tea room. Then in 1985 Shirley and Eddie Spear bought it and turned it into a restaurant, and people have been driving out to the far north-west of Skye to eat there ever since.

Inside Lochview.

Lochview looks across Loch Dunvegan on Skye towards the Outer Hebrides, a modern house for four with the view in every room. The open-plan living space centres on a double-sided glass-fronted wood stove, with a cinema screen, a granite-topped kitchen and big glass doors onto the garden. There are two bedrooms, one in soft pink and one in powder blue, each with a super-king bed and its own shower room in gold or silver tiles.

Places to Stay with a Wood-Burning Fire

A wood-burning stove, a full log basket and a long evening in front of it is half the reason to come to Scotland in winter. These are the places where the fire is the heart of the house.

Inside Sligachan Campsite.

The campsite at Glen Sligachan sits beside the river with the Cuillin all around, right where so many of the island's great walks begin. It's open from the start of April to the end of September, and it's well set up for a few days in the hills: coffee comes from Caora Dhubh, and Alberto's Tacos serves in the evenings through the season. The Sligachan Hotel and its bar are a short walk away, and so is the old stone bridge over the river.
