    Welcome

    Enjoy adventure, fun, wildlife and tranquility on one of Scotland's most beautiful and unspoilt islands. Raasay House is situated on the beautiful inner hebridean island of Raasay which lies between the Isle of Skye and the Scottish mainland. This small island location feels magically remote yet is actually very accessible. The short ferry journey from Skye takes only 20 minutes and Inverness airport is just two and a half hours away by road. 

    Raasay House Provides:  *Accommodation from Budget to Deluxe, Outdoor Activities, Bistro, Resturant, Bar*
