Peinmore House & Gardens

Since passing from Church ownership into private hands in the 1930's Peinmore House has been extended considerably. The main addition was a first floor 30 foot lounge aptly known as 'the long room'. Obviously built for entertaining it boasts a wonderful American Oak floor and open fireplace. This is now the residents lounge, an ideal place to relax with a complimentary glass of sherry in the evening or a good book, of which there are lots around, during one of Skye's occasional inclement days!

Peinmore is set in two acres of grounds divided roughly into three distinct areas. The main feature is a large walled garden with its own fast flowing stream running though. Sadly over the years it fell into disrepair but it has now been cleared of debris, replanted with new beds and new paths laid. This is an ongoing exciting project but it is already repaying all the hard work. In a little World of its own, its wonderfully sheltered position now provides a haven for both birds and guests.

The courtyard around which Peinmore is built provides an attractive link between the different parts of the house and has now been made into a delightful garden - a lovely place to sit and enjoy the sunshine.
