The house was purpose designed for the rigours of the Highlands and Islands by the award winning Rural Design Architects. The design follows the lines of a traditional steading, and offers a stylish and contemporary property, ideal for those guests looking for something more unusual than the more traditional holiday cottages that are often found on the island.

The house incorporates the latest technology and this together with the wood burning stove, ensures that the property is warm no matter what time of year you visit.

A chaise lounge is ideally positioned to enjoy the views and a telescope is available for those interested in a bit of star gazing or wildlife watching.

March 2025 was our Seventh visit to this property since 2017. That tells it's own story! It's one of the best kept secrets in North West Skye. Seal Skerry Lodge is a fabulous property in Milovaig. The house is an architectural delight (Rural Design Architects), was built around 2015 and has a fantastic Eco heating system and has a magnificent open plan ground floor. The glazed picture windows look out over Loch Pooltiel and the sea cliffs (with views to the Western Isles) and run the full length of the property. It is very isolated and has a fully fenced large well maintained garden (which our dog loves). Whether cooking, dining or relaxing the views are literally staggering. Whilst we have done many of the Skye tourist attractions over a number of years but there are enough fabulous local walks in the Milovaig, Glendale and Dunvegan areas to make for a very enjoyable week. The log burner in the evenings makes for a 'hooga' experience and the dark skies environment mean stargazing is exceptional. The owner (Heather) is super responsive to any issues but to be honest we have had one minor issue in seven years and the cleaner (Emma) for the property is first class and we have never encountered the property in anything but 'sparkling' condition.The internet signal is strong and there is a Roku dongle meaning Netflix, Sky, Amazon & all terrestrial channels are all available. The wildlife in NW Skye is unparalleled. This week we saw white tailed sea eagles on three days (at close range), common seals and otters are regular visitors to Loch Pooltiel. As a family absolutely love this property and are already looking forward to return in March 2026. My only negative part of the review is that we do not own this property! Cannot recommend highly enough (& we are picky Fifers!). KR Colin
Stunning location on the edge of Poolteil loch where nature surrounds this beautiful property. Excellent facilities and plenty of room if you were to have four adults, (we were only 2). Great communication throughout with this company
This is our second visit to Seal Skerry Lodge, it is a fantastic place to stay, the house is immaculately clean and well presented but it is also comfortable and feels like home. The views from every window are fantastic and change during the day, watching otters and eagles from the house was very special. Great base for exploring the Island. We were really well looked after by the owners and Wilderness cottages and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
Great location and views. Lovely house. Our dog loved the enclosed garden. But there didn't seem to be a vacuum cleaner! Hard floors throughout had to be swept with a brush which we found a bind and would put us off booking again.
Wilderness Cottages Replied...
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Seal Skerry Lodge. As Wilderness Cottages are the booking agents, we contacted the owner to discuss your feedback. The owners apologise for the lack of a vacuum cleaner during your stay. Unfortunately it had broken and they were in the process of sourcing a replacement, which will be at the cottage this weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience this caused.
Fantastic view, well equipped lodge. Large garden and dog friendly. Roomy and cosy
This is a really special place that has everything that you need for a great stay, clean, comfortable, incredibly well equipped and the most sensational view. We couldn't wish for any more
