About us
We are delighted to launch 57Degrees North in June 2017, to bring together some of our passions for the wildish, awe inspiring, romantic beauty of Skye to share with you. It’s all about the breathtaking sunset views and the easy tranquil cosiness of our very well appointed, eco conscious wee haven. The Studio is all about breathtaking sunsets and tranquil easy comfort. Lochbay is situated in the designated Natural heritage site of Waternish.

Accessibility
The Studio is across a short bridge from the layby where you can park. There are no steps into the Studio. The Studio is accessible for people with some restricted mobility. There is a bath shower which may not be totally accessible to many wheelchair users.
Allergen Reduction
We are aware that many people suffer from having asthma and other allergy related conditions, and so have chosen not to allow pets to enter or stay in the studio. We are careful to use anti allergenic cleaning and laundry products.
Environment Conservation & Recycling
We aim to develop our environment conservation practices and to support recycling initiatives.
Towards this we provide only biodegradable cleaning products and request that guests do not use non-biodegradable products such as hair bleach or disinfectants or non bio degradable sanitary products in the Studio (NB: All sanitary products to be disposed of in bin provided).
We provide a small bin for uncooked vegetable waste marked vegetable compost and also recycling bins are available for guests
