The Cottar

Cozy.. Rustic .. Good location , peace and quiet.. Friendly owner , told us about the history of the cottage , family and area . Cottage is like a small folk museum full of artifacts and pictures .

The cottar is a beautiful place, comfortable and highly relaxing. The place is beautifully and tastefully decorated with a true local history of anchorage. Everything in the island is easily accessible by car. Perfectly equipped with all the cooking tools and efficient heaters, the cottar is perfect whatever the weather outside. Amazing view on the loch especially stunning with sunset and sunrise lights. We highly recommend the cottar that made our stay in the Isle of Skye truly perfect. Thank you Eoin for you kind welcome, and great recommendations.

Everything was perfect

Stayed at The Cottar in April - what an amazing and special place! The location is superb- right on the water - we saw White Tailed Eagles, Seals, Dolphins, Otters and much more from the garden. Eoin was extremely helpful and gave us lots of interesting information for the area and a nice welcome pack. The Cottar itself is comfortable and well equipped (lovely open fire ready for us when we arrived - very cosy) and has an abundance of interesting artefacts and history. Only a short drive to Broadford for supplies and the location gave good access for getting around the island.

It was rustic, authentic and the owners attention to detail of the whole place was spectacular The location was perfect and the views special Don’t expect internet and tvs as it was a journey back in time holiday for me and very good at invoking that feeling it was

Nothing to dislike

It's immediately clear how much care and attention has gone into making the Cottar feel special. From meeting Eoin to collect keys on arrival, to the peaceful location on the waterfront, the warmth from the roaring open fire, the thoughtfully decorated walls and very clean inside and out. Location is ideal for setting off to multiple spots on Skye. Eoin went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and gave us tips on where to explore. Without a doubt one of the best places we've stayed - we can't wait to return to this hidden gem.

Honestly, nothing. The property went above and beyond our expectations.

Absolutely everything. From the minute we walked in. I’m amazed at how quickly one can adapt without the plethora of what are obviously unnecessary gadgets. We had the best holiday and will return as soon as we can

That would be, there was nothing we didn’t like, at all.

Beautiful location beside the water. A fantastic place to unwind. We spent some days driving around Skye and others where we sat outside and enjoyed the cottage. Eoin was very helpful with advice on where to go. It is a wonderful location.

Being on the loch. Great jumping point for all Skye sights and activities. Fireplace. Onsite washer/dryer.

I hate to say anything but for my 6’3 husband if the bed could have been a bit longer.

If you are looking for authenticity, then this is the place for you. My wife and I were absolutely delighted! Eoin is a great host and his fishing lodge is more than cozy. We stayed here for 4 nights and didn't want to leave at all. Yes, it's true that the bed is small - but I slept here every day for more than 8 hours and that doesn't normally happen. From the windows we watched sea otters, deer on the shore of the opposite island and once a seal swam by. We've been gone for a few days and already we miss it!
