O tym ten wynajem wakacyjny
The Cottar is a former 200 year old fisherman's cottage, being part of the nearby, now disused, Herring Station which is currently being lovingly restored by myself, located just five minutes' stroll in a southerly direction along the shore.
The Cottar was originally a 'black house', "tigh dubh" in Gaelic. Again, following the ancient method of construction, The Cottar has no rear wall, being built into a cliff face.
The front of The Cottar is served by a broad, long terrace along the shore, providing a seating and dining area with panoramic views up and down the Loch na Cairaidh.
There is an abundancy of wildlife on display, seals, otters, porpoises, dolphins, and too many birds to mention.
The interior of The Cottar, as befits a two hundred year old cottage, is furnished entirely with original 19th Century furniture. If you expect enveloping, suffocating, marshmallow suites, The Cottar is not the place for you.
All the pictures and artifacts, some are museum pieces, are chosen for their relation to the sea and working the land. I would like to think I am helping my guests understand and be immersed in the culture of the island and it's peoples.
Please note, the bed is an 1830's Scottish galleried sleigh bed, known as a Scottish three-quarter, being some 4'6"x6' (137cm x 183cm).
In addition, there is a metamorphic chaise longue available too.
Should you wish, I can provide a cultural tour; an amble around an original Viking Settlement, with examples of Pictish foundations upon which subsequent buildings were positioned.

We had s wonderful time in The Cottar. Eoin was an excellent host, who gave us recommandations for our day trips, which we really enjoyed!The Cottar is a great place to relax and dream. It has everything you need for cooking and living. For us it was a perfect stay!

Beautiful location next to sea loch. Amiable host recommended activities and best places to see and eat locally. Although the bed was noted as a smaller size, it was the fact it was against the wall that my husband found tricky. Not being able to stretch out lengthwise, something we will bear in mind for the future. There were many chairs supplied, but as photos portray, most were quite upright, so if you like to stretch out, or lounge on a comfy sofa this property is not for you. However the amazing location, and epic landscapes throughout the Isle of Skye will be remembered by us both for a very long time.

Our experience with Eoin and The Cottar, was so memorable and truly one of the highlights of my bucket list goal, "go to Scotland". 1st, The Cottar, this historical, restored -(by Eoin) cottage was immaculate, there were extra touches every where, in the kitchen( kettle, knives, teas etc), bedding ( down comforter - I swear he irons the duvet cover!) the furnishings and historical photos and artwork are amazing and significantly contribute to this very special cottage. Location- literally steps from the water. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening wine, sitting outside listening to the quiet, watching birds and seals. Skye can be a very busy place with visitors, but this jewel nestled well below the road and steps from the water is a peaceful oasis. Now to Eoin, the host- he has such a wealth of knowledge of the history of the settlements and people of early Scotland. He was so generous with his time in answering my many questions. He had some excellent suggestions for sites to visit - away from the masses of people that can be found in the more touristy spots. There are many places to see in this world, that I seldom think I would go back to where I have been, This is an exception, should the opportunity arise to return to Scotland/Skye I would come back to The Cottar and the host Eoin in a minute.

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.
