THE TWO BYRES Waternish www.thetwobyre­s.co.uk

There’s no such thing as bad weather when you stay at The Two Byres. If the weather comes in you can watch the storms roll by or head out to brave the winds knowing that you will return to a warm house and the spice of a single malt in front of the log fire. Then, when the clouds clear, just marvel at the stars or, if you are lucky, catch the Aurora dancing.
