Eoin met us at the drive as the cottar is tucked away. He then proceeded to give us his family background and ideas for visiting. There was a stocked kitchen complete with wine and crackers and a cozy fire crackling when we arrived. The inside is a lot bigger than pictures do it justice and we enjoyed unplugging from life for a few days. The location of the cottar is very convenient to the co op, restaurants and anywhere in the island. Honestly, it was heaven!

Great!
My partner and I absolutely loved the cottar! The interior is like a museum with many pictures, paintings and historic tools from the herring fishery exhibited. The house offered everything we need, including a very well equipped kitchen. The view is stunning and with the binoculair provided we enjoyed watching seals playing just in front of the house. Eoin was a great host and who showed to really care for this cottage and his guests. Would definitely recommend! :)

What a wonderful property and a fantastic stay. It was great meeting the owner who met us upon arrival. The cottage had been prepared with a bottle of wine and a warm fire. Along with the electric heaters - this is a very quiet, cozy cabin to base day trips to surrounding Isle of Skye sights. Thanks for all the sightseeing recommendations Eoin! It was great to meet you.

Isle of Skye cottage
Eoin's cottage was on the shores of the Inner Sound with great views of Scalpay and the Isle of Raasay. The cottage has been in Eoin's family for 250+ years and its rustic feel is perfect for a remote Isle of Skye adventure. Located close to Broadford and Portree, the cottage is a good home base to explore all that Skye has to offer!

Super cozy and quaint
The pictures don’t do it justice. This cottage is very comfortable and cozy. Great location. The only criticism is that the bed is short. If you are 5’8” or taller, you will not fit well, especially if there are 2 of you. Made for uncomfortable sleeping which is important to us.

Quaint & character filled with a welcoming host.
The Cotter was located on the sea side with beautiful views. Eoin, our host welcomed us personally, and freely shared his experiences and knowledge of Skye. The Cotter was quaint and character filled, and thoughtfully equipped and furnished. It was quiet and secluded. The bonus was an open log fire and a supply of wood. Thank you Eoin for a wonderful few days.
