A little about us
Our Story
Passion Project
House of Juniper and The Sprig are a true passion project. In 2018, we uprooted our live from London to move to the Isle of Skye; Mike felt Scotland calling him home.
We arrived with no experience, a lot of vision and a some much needed naivety to lovingly restore the Manse and old church and build the new cabins. What followed was 6 long years of hard work and learning as we went.
With the help of a dedicated and outstanding small team the Manse and church were stripped back to their stone. There was a point when there were no floors, walls or roofs. We restored where we could and rebuilt where it was needed.
As a thank you to the team who worked on the Manse and helped build the cabins, we named the hotel rooms after them. The folk who worked with us over those years will forever hold a place in our hearts. The restoration and build was painstaking and a total pleasure.
We hope you love it as much as we do,
Francesca and Mike
Staff
The staff at House of Juniper and The Sprig are incredible and many of them feel more like family by this point. Chris and Tracey have been with us since the very beginning as we tentatively opened for 3 months with a partial site in 2021. We could not be without them.
Since then, we have added many wonderful people to the team. The cheffing team will keep you well fed, the restaurant staff are happy to look after you and our cleaners will keep everything spick and span.
