The Stein Inn has an enviable lochside location on the banks of Loch Bay, within the crofting community of Waternish on the beautiful Isle of Skye, which is without doubt one of Scotland’s most popular and picturesque islands.
Due to its exceptional landscape, Skye is ideal for the outdoor enthusiast and offers an array of activities such as sailing, fishing, walking and visitor attractions to suit all tastes, from historic castles such as Dunvegan Castle which is the ancestral home of the Clan Macleod to the Talisker Whisky Distillery, the Old man of Storr and the Cullins, which are regarded as one of Scotland’s most iconic landmarks.
The village of Waternish is accessed from the A850 which connects the main A87, leading to Portree, the islands “capital”.

Dating back to 1790, the Stein Inn is the oldest inn on the island and has a pleasing location within the small conservation village of Waternish, with enviable panoramic loch views. Sitting on the loch front the property is instantly recognisable due to its whitewashed façade, which sits comfortably amongst the surrounding cottages. Over the years the property has been sympathetically developed and extended, trading over 2 floors under a traditional pitched slate roof.
