About

This luxurious self catering cottage is in an idyllic location, situated only a few metres from the seashore on Broadford Bay, which is one of Scotland’s finest, most unspoilt nature havens. At low water the tide falls back some 100 metres and, as the sea rises to stop at the bottom of the garden, an abundance of birds feed at the water’s edge. The occasional otter which crosses the shore can be viewed at close quarters from the comfort of the lounge, using the giant binoculars.

The cottage has free Wifi throughout and is run by Donald Macphie, a native of the Isle of Skye, and his partner Kat. It was run as a highly successful Scottish Tourist Board 5 star self catering facility by Donnie’s mum up until 2008 when she retired. Donnie’s forefathers were stonemasons who were brought to the Island by Macleod Estates to work on Dunvegan Castle and other estate properties.
