57 Nord

We were lucky enough to spend a week at 57 Nord this summer and I sincerely hope we can return again. If you’re considering a stay here, don’t wait, book it now - it is such a special place. Not only is the house itself stunning, but the owner has put so much thought and care into crafting a guest experience that is truly unique, restful, and locally rooted. From the welcome basket full of delicious local goods to the detailed visitors guide to the curated wine list, everything is designed to make you feel welcome and at home. Highly recommended and cannot wait to return!

Words cannot do justice to how beautiful this place is. We stayed here a few weeks ago and I am still dreaming of it. The views are so stunning, and change constantly, it’s as though you have a living artwork to enjoy. The space itself is so well designed, it feels so in-keeping with the surroundings yet also a sanctuary - I felt instantly relaxed whenever we stepped through the door. As much as I loved exploring Skye and the surrounding areas, the best part of the trip was simply laying in the bath and soaking in views.

Nord 57 was beyond our expectations. We stayed at the Hill House, and every morning, we woke up to the most breathtaking view. The design details of the house are exquisite and created a much-needed restorative space for our whole family. Mumtaz was always so responsive and made everything seamless, and the welcome package is incredible! Such an amazing experience, thank you Mumtaz.

We had a fantastic stay at 57 Nord. The perfect place to truly relax, disconnect from the stress of the day-to-day, enjoy nature walks and good food. Hill House is beautifully designed and fits perfectly into the breathtaking scenery of the Scottish Highlands. Only a 15 minute drive from The Isle of Skye it is the perfect base for exploring this part of Scotland. There are excellent restaurants in the area (simply ask for recommendations). Also, the kitchen at Hill House is better than many a home kitchens and home cooked dinners with the friends we came with are some of my favourite memories of our visit.

We've stayed at 57 Nord twice and can honestly say it's the most beautiful sanctuary and perfect staycation spot. Immaculately maintained with breathtaking views of Eilean Donan, and easy access over the bridge to Skye, this is a must-visit location. Everything about the property is luxurious and well thought out. We love it and I couldn't recommend it more highly. Frankly, I'm surprised that Google don't vet these reviews as the low ratings without comment are clearly not from genuine guests. In short, ignore them and don't hesitate to book this piece of paradise.

Our first day in the Scottish Highlands and at the 57 Nord boutique house was simply extraordinary. The moment we arrived at the property the stunning panoramic views of the Kintail Mountains, Eilean Donan Castle and three sea lochs amazed us. We would spend hours just enjoying delicious tea and wines, sitting in the airy living room and looking out. It is such a therapeutic experience watching the ever changing scenery of fluffy clouds covering the misty mountains, wandering yachts passing by, and occasional rays of sun illuminating the whole valley. A small roe deer family kept on coming back to feed themselves without fearing our presence! It was a real highlight to be so close to nature. The house is absolutely beautiful and prepared to the highest standard. Every detail has been carefully considered – tasteful crockery, comfy branded bath robes, natural Swedish shampoos, thermo cups for long walks outside, and even tupperware boxes! Most importantly, the two romantic bath tubs are the centrepieces of this beautifully curated indulgent experience! We were so grateful as we left 57 Nord fully recharged, inspired and will never forget our stay in this magical place.

Wow! This is everything you ever wanted in a rental. From the moment you walk in, you just feel welcome and blessed to be there. The views are ever-changing, and to die for - from every window. Even sitting up in bed, or in the kitchen you just smile as you look out. We even had a deer come into the garden one morning to say 'hello'. Special moment. The RAF organised a low level fly-past as well one afternoon! Completely as the website advertises - everything is there for you, from the amazing welcome pack, to the high quality of everything you see and use. Large comfy bed, great sized shower in large bathroom, and all you need in the kitchen to cook up something special. We enjoyed walking down to the village to Manuela's Wee Baker for a lovely coffee, a small treat, and a warm welcome. And of course Eilean Donan Castle is only a short walk away, and is beautiful at night viewed from your terrace as they flood light the Castle. One of the best Scottish Castles you will see. But the views are what it is all about. Stunning. I had to be dragged out at the end of our week...

We spent a wonderful long summer weekend at 57 Nord. We were given helpful directions and arrived at night to a wonderfully stocked and warm cabin. In the morning the views from the bedroom and living room took our breath away and the recommended local restaurants were delicious and steeped in local history - even the drive back to the airport at dawn was magnificent. Highly recommend and look forward to visiting again.
