Living and dining

With far reaching views across Loch Dunvegan, the seamlessly designed open-plan living and dining space ensures the breathtaking backdrop can be savoured at every turn, whether you're soaking up the scenery from a luxurious leather armchair, or preparing a lavish feast for four around the granite-topped kitchen island. At the heart of the room is a double-sided glass front wood burning stove, promising cosiness in abundance in the cooler months.

In a palette of earthy tones, the living area invites for cosy evenings settled on the sofa, with sheepskin rugs and complementary cushions for added comfort. There's ample seating for four, with the addition of two armchairs beside a modern rustic coffee table. Relish relaxed moments in front of the television, with a large cinema-style screen and Meridian Audio sound system for added drama. As conversation flows over games of scrabble, prepare timeless tipples from the luxurious cocktail trolley. Floor to ceiling doors open onto a decked patio, perfectly positioned to welcome the outside in on mild afternoons.
