    The Bothy is very comfortable and finished to a very high standard with high quality appliances. The location is beautiful with a view over Loch Vatten. We saw barn owls within meters of the Bothy.

Vatten is a small township 3 miles from Dunvegan. Dunvegan is the largest village in the northern part of Skye, at the meeting point of the Waternish and Duirinish peninsulas. The name likely comes from the Old Gaelic Dun Bheagain, meaning 'fort of Beccan' (where Beccan is referring to a person's name). Dunvegan grew up on the eastern shore of Loch Dunvegan, about 1 mile south of historic Dunvegan Castle. The village offers a number of visitor facilities including hotels, restaurants and cafes in addition to a village shop, post office, and health-care centre. One of the most notable buildings is the Dunvegan Parish Church, also known as the Duirinish Parish Church, a striking Gothic Revival building erected in 1832. The church retains its original 19th-century furnishings, including a gallery supported on neoclassical columns. The church is listed Category A by Historic Environment Scotland for its heritage value. There’s also a Christian Church called Dunvegan Christian Fellowship at the far end of the village next to Cath Waters shop. A car is required to get around in this area.
