Aurora Rural Retreats in Glendale (Isle of Skye): Photos and Reviews

Guests receive a welcome bottle of wine, bathrobes, slippers, and a handwritten postcard. The chalet includes a washing machine, streaming services (Netflix, Disney+), and a kitchenette with hob, toaster, microwave, and kettle. A towel dryer, heated floor in the bathroom, and soundproofing add comfort. Free on-site private parking is available, and the property is wheelchair accessible with an allergy-free room option.

Aurora Rural Retreats offers a standalone chalet (Aurora 3) and two other units. Each chalet has a private bathroom with walk-in shower, a balcony, and a sun terrace with picnic area. The large picture windows frame views over Loch Pooltiel and the open sea. Bedrooms are fitted with comfortable beds, wool throws, and hot water bottles.

The chalet sits in Milovaig, Glendale, a 6-minute drive from Neist Point Lighthouse. Dunvegan Castle is 17 km away. Benbecula Airport is 136 km from the property. The approach requires driving narrow single-track roads with sheep; the host provides detailed written instructions to reach the guest unit.

The host leaves a personalised postcard, rose petals, and balloons for special occasions such as honeymoons or Valentine's Day. A sleeping kit (eye mask, hot water bottle) and luxury hot chocolate with marshmallows are provided. Guests can visit the on-site shop selling high-quality wool products. The host, Heidi, also keeps hens and ducks on the property.

This adults-only chalet is designed for couples and solo travellers seeking peace. Check-in is via key code, allowing self-check-in without time restrictions. Express check-in/check-out and a private check-in/check-out service are available. The property is non-smoking throughout, with fire extinguishers and smoke alarms installed.
