About this property

Skye Eco Bells Glamping - Recharge yourself off-grid

Skye Eco Bells is a unique Eco Glamping site in the north west of the Isle of Skye and within easy driving distance of all the major attractions. We only have 3 Finnish Huts and 1 Bell tent to keep the site small so you can enjoy some tranquility and time to relax and unwind whilst having a great base to explore all of Skye.

The site has no electricity or WiFi so you can really disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with the important things.......each other and the stunning natural landscape around you. Lighting is provided by rechargeable lights and candle power.

Our furnished 5m Finnish Huts sleep 2 people in a double bed. Sit by your outdoor firepit after exploring the island or relax in your cosy cabin, warmed by the wood burning stove. Each cabin also has it's own fire pit and BBQ area to enjoy outdoor fires and sit under the stars with a drink or 2! Your first basket of firewood is free but if you need more there is firewood available to buy on site. You will also have access to The Hub social camp kitchen that is fully kitted out for all your cooking needs and furnished in a cosy style with candle lanterns and a wood burning stove for those cooler evenings. The Shack provides additional cooking/eating space and is convenient for making that morning cup of coffee to start your day of exploring. The site also has a unique greenhouse shower and composting toilet that fit in with our eco credentials and reduce our impact upon the environment.

Up to 2 dogs are welcome by prior arrangement only. There is an additional £10 charge which you can pay when you visit.

Skye Eco Bells is all about reconnecting with the natural world and reducing our impact on the environment whilst providing you with a fun, cosy and adventurous holiday. Escape the outside world completely for a digital detox and discover the total relaxation of simple living or use Eco Bells as a restorative base to return to after a busy day of sight seeing. You will find our small flock of free range hens and camp cat Bella ready to welcome you home!

At Skye Eco Bells we take our environmental responsibilities very seriously. So you will find that wherever possible we have re-used or recycled building materials. All our cleaning, laundry products and the toiletries we provide for guests are high quality, chemical free and biodegradable. All bin bags are either compostable or biodegradable. We compost all food waste and encourage you to use our recycling facilities. Our toilets are composting which saves thousands of gallons of drinking water per year. Our unique greenhouse shower uses a natural grey water filtration system.

gorgeously hidden away gem
This was a lovey couple of days. fantastic setting, quiet and very pretty. The photo doesn't do it justice as the greenery has now increased and so our little pod felt like we were totallyon our own. The accomodation was so cosy and well presented and the little huts for eating etc were brilliantly kitted out, neat and tidy. I can't rate this place high enough! Our teen had a bit of a wobble with the " nofi" but half an hour and she was fine! Take a walk to the black beach during your stay, it is definitely worth the walk!

Glorious
We have such an amazing time. The eco cabin & setting were fabulous. The kitchens had so much equipment to cook up a storm. The outside inside shower was just perfect. The owners were lovely and very helpful.

Adorable stay
Skye eco bells is a must! Maybe you purposely are glamping, maybe it’s what’s available, or this is your budget—-either way, your stay will be a 10!!! My personal favorite was the shower—-like a spa setting!

Just do it!
This accommodation is simply enchanting! A couple of managers have made a real effort here and created something unique. Everything is well thought out, lovingly furnished and very well maintained. What you shouldn't expect: a holiday feeling like in a guesthouse with the comfort you would expect there. What you do get: a feeling of "we should all think a bit like this", being close to nature, a romantic atmosphere next to the crackling fire in your cabin, all the necessary comforts are there (a proper bed, a hot shower, a toilet, a hand towel) but otherwise just a camping feeling.

We LOVED this place!!!
We're not campers. We're not even outdoors people. We're older (67 & 82). We loved every minute of our stay here. If you're like us, don't hesitate, GO! It's a bit of a drive, single track, but don't let that deter you. The ambiance is just wonderful. Even in the cold & rain like it was for us. Your tiny but super-efficient wood burner, your totally cozy hut, the spacious & well-supplied shared kitchen, the best shower, and the attention to all the details - there's a lot of care here - made for a very special, way out of the ordinary, fun and satisfying experience.

Great property and even better hosts!
My wife and I stayed here for part of our honeymoon, specifically in the Storr cabin. The grounds were very clean and quaint. Great location to Skye and easily accessible. Communication with the hosts was prompt and accommodating to our needs. They even offered to relay possible emergency messages due to a family issue if need be. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a nice stay in Skye!

About the host

Hosted by Nadia & Scott MacLucas-Paton

Host profile image
We have lived on the Isle of Skye for 12 years now, our wee family is very outdoorsy and we all love spending time in the great outdoors, wether that be working at Eco Bells or having adventures around the Island and beyond.

Why they chose this property

Orbost is a quiet area of Skye but equally as stunning as other parts, we have almost 9 acres of our own land where we raise our family, our hens and horses and we grow our own vegetables, Within a short walk from Eco Bells we have an amazing beach and we are nestled at the base of the MacLeods Tables.

What makes this property unique

We are the only genuinely off grid glamping site on Skye and possibly the West Coast of Scotland. There are lots of pods, cabins, etc on Skye but nowhere offers the space to enjoy and offers communal kitchens where you can discuss with other guests places they have visited, make new friends and have a really positive experience of Skye and enjoy the peace away from the crowds.

We are fully committed to the environment and as such all of our cleaning products, bin bags, shampoos, conditioner and soaps are all fully biodegradeable. We have planted 1000's of trees and this is increasing the amount of flaura and fauna we get and offers and amazing habitat for more wildlife in all forms. Ecology is at the heart of everything we do at Eco Bells and if it can change or encourage others to think in a similar way then we would be really happy with that. Our impact upon the land is as small as it can possibly be and we are always looking at ways we can improve.
