Three bedroom property with sea views and luxurious interiors. A warm welcome awaits you at The Preachers Rest - Thomas Telford Lettings. Thomas Telford Lettings takes its name from the prolific Scottish engineer who planned the hamlet of Stein for the British Fisheries Society in 1790 and oversaw the building of The Old Church and adjacent Manse. Over the last two years The Old Church has been painstakingly restored to create something very special. Situated within The Old Church east side overlooking Loch Bay the Preachers Rest forms one side of the renovated Historic Building. Main door entrance with luxurious self contained accommodation over two levels. Over the last two years the The Preachers Rest has been painstakingly restored to a luxurious standard. Original features including stone and timber floors give an impression of the original church design but within a contemporary setting. The contrast between old and new is striking. We are proud of what has been achieved - a new and sustainable future for a historic building in a dramatic setting overlooking Loch Dunvegan and the Hebrides. Contemporary accommodation within a historic setting we believe Telford would be proud of. Externally the Old Church, byre and gardens reflect the original plans but inside awaits a magical combination of contemporary living and eclectic design. Nothing similar exists on Skye. Staying at the The Preachers Rest is not for the faint hearted. Art works, antiques, and interior finishes collected over many years combine to lift the spirit. Its quirky and somewhat unorthodox characteristics are for those looking for a very different stay on the Isle of Skye. A getaway where you will be consumed by local history, arts and culture. And while the ‘The Preachers Rest’ in The Old Church is out of the ordinary, it provides a convenient base to relax in luxury and explore the magic of Skye. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 9 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![TV, DVD player, books, music library](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112340000/112331600/112331575/a3d318e8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Relax & unwind on the mystical Isle of Skye with stunning seaviews Broadford - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 18 reviews £468 includes taxes & fees 13 Dec - 14 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-13&endDate=2025-12-14&selected=112331575&PinnedHotelID=112331575&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/54000000/53150000/53145100/53145055/fb83913a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful private villa for 6 people with TV Idrigill - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-26&endDate=2025-12-27&selected=53145055&PinnedHotelID=53145055&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, individually decorated, individually furnished, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93710000/93708600/93708528/cf868fc1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pebble Cottage Portree Town - Kitchen - Washer - Parking included - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-26&endDate=2025-12-27&selected=93708528&PinnedHotelID=93708528&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90220000/90218200/90218157/82208f72.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Self Catering, Tern House, Waternish, Isle of Skye Lochbay - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-26&endDate=2025-12-27&selected=90218157&PinnedHotelID=90218157&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33580000/33575800/33575759/203432f7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Traditional Croft House, modern interior, in stunning landscape, near the coast.

Beautiful views and the rooms are lovely. We had a great lobster dinner on our first night there with a freshly delivered catch! Staying on Skye was a dream! The only thing that would have made it perfect was a washer and dryer in our side of the property. Fantastic stay! Thank you! ##### Donna Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol T. 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Heaven on Skye My husband and I and two friends from the States recently spent three wonderful nights at The Old Church on the Isle of Skye. The beautiful old church has been thoughtfully and beautifully restored and renovated into two 3 bedroom units with ample amenities. We were in the Preachers Rest and had beautiful views of the Little Minch Strait. The stunning grounds of the property were immaculate and lovingly cared for. We would recommend this property and its proprietors without hesitation and hope to return with our adult children very soon as their granny was a MacLeod and the clan castle, Dunvegan is a short drive away. Cheers! ##### Carol T.
