Stunning location and the views were magical. We were a party of 6 and were very comfortable in the space. Loved seeing the seals and the unexpected dinosaur footprints on Brother’s point. Great Skye experience.

Our first time on the Isle of Skye and we are hooked. Half of One is the most wonderful house with such an interesting history. It is beautifully done and very easy to get up and running once you walk through the door. Emma (host) really has thought of everything you could possibly need. There are lots of cosy corners to hunker down in and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. The views from the house and the skies are out of this world. It is also very handy for Portree. Definitely on my wish list to go again.

Half of One was truly a unique place to stay. It’s all about the view with this home and that was amazing. We also really enjoyed the easy access to hiking at Brother’s point. We used the kitchen quite a bit for our family of 6 but we also had great dining options within a 15-30 minute drive. Our family had plenty of room to spread out throughout the home and the laundry room was a huge plus.

   

We greatly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning again sometime!

The location is phenomenal. The beauty unsurpassed and there is a wonderful hike to the shore right outside your front door. It is even better than the website pictures. The home is large with private spaces for everyone. Very clean and cozy. The spectacular views can be seen from every room. We are coming back for sure!

Wonderful accommodation in a stunning location. Practical, easy to live layout and views and nearby walks are all you could want. 10 min drive from Old Man and 29 mins from Quiraing Highly recommended – will definitely seek to return

We had an unforgettable stay at Half of One.

The views are absolutely breathtaking—truly some of the most stunning scenery we’ve ever experienced. The home itself is cozy, thoughtfully appointed, and full of charm. Surrounded by Skye’s natural beauty and steeped in history, it made for the perfect base to explore the island. Whether we were hiking nearby trails, visiting historic sites, or simply enjoying a quiet moment looking out over the landscape, everything felt magical.

We can’t recommend it highly enough.

Where the sea carves silence into stone,
and the wind tells stories older than time —
I stand between sky and tide,
a breath in the wild heart of Skye.

The house is wonderful and the views are just stunning. The house has everything we could possibly need, and we enjoyed every second of our time there. Emma was also super proactive and gave super clear instructions for finding the house. Super recommend!

Everything was exactly as listed and described. Navigation and check in was exactly as described and we had no trouble finding it. Keep doing what you’re doing! It is such a gem of a place!
