The Old Church. 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.
