About this property

Isle of Skye Butt & Beinne for (second !) honeymooners or, getting away

This charmingly modernised 1880's-built 'Butt & Beinne' (letting Saturday-to-Saturday) and is a romantic place for (second !) honeymooners or self catering holidaymakers to get away from it all. The bedroom has been part re-furbished in Winter of 2019. Sit and watch the tides from the picture window, visit the Otter Hide or, on walks along the shore, see seals and sea eagle. At night you may see Red Deer and even one of our resident Pine Marten or two. There are breathtaking views in every direction and the cottage is reached over a sturdy wooden bridge. It is around 90 meters from the shore. Arrive 'Over the sea to Skye' in true romantic fashion via the five car ferry from Glenelg (operating only from Easter to October but check with Glenelg-Kylerhea Ferry website first.) A very scenic 10 mile drive takes you to a full range of shops, restaurants, hotels and a bank in Broadford, whence boat and fishing trips are available from the pier there. For full internal shots, please contact owner for link. We listen to constructive criticism and work constantly to upgrade our facilities to make your stay as enjoyable as we can.
There is Storage Heating for the Winter months, which keeps the house warm and makes it a tranquil refuge for writers and thinkers.
EXTRA ! - The RSPB and Forestry Commission have a hide located next to the Kylerhea wildlife hide car park. The hide is staffed five days a week by RSPB information assistants, who provide comprehensive information on the local wildlife. The hide overlooks the ferry and the Kylerhea narrows and during the summer a pair of sea eagles can regularly be seen hunting for fish over the strong tidal flows. The hide also offers the chance of seeing many of the wildlife species including seals, golden eagles, porpoises, otters, common and bottlenose dolphins etc. Basking sharks have even been seen in the kyle. The inside of the hide has displays and information about Scottish wildlife. Younger children can use free backpacks with binoculars, bug boxes, magnifying glasses and a fun set of activities devised by local school children. The RSPB/FCS hide is open from Easter to September and admittance is free of charge.
N.B. To confirm: Kylerhea is actually on the Isle of Skye, which some of the comparatives given are not, such as those over in Glenelg on the mainland.

Our one week stay

The property was fine in relation to what we were looking for and what we were able to spend, given the notoriously high prices for Skye accommodation. The location is very peaceful with wonderful views and it was good having the Glenelg ferry nearby. The single track road to Kylerhea was also in adequate condition, considering its length. A pair of oven gloves and a good wine glass set would be useful, but the kitchen was well equipped otherwise.

Top locatie maar...

What a fantastic location! Right on the waterfront with seals and dolphins. Unbelievable.It's a shame it was so rainy. The cottage was very damp and cold. It's a shame that only one of the four electric heaters worked. It was so damp that there was mold on the bedroom wall!I hope it can be repaired.

Getting away from it all

This simple Croft is as described. Close to the loch edge with stunningly beautiful views all round and in a really peaceful location. Although a few miles from the main road, all parts of Skye were easily accessible. The accommodation was well-equipped and had everything we needed. Staying in April we were comfortable and had a fabulous time.

Beautiful Wilderness and wildlife

The location was great and wild. We loved watching the seals on the rocks. The house was really cute but it was very dirty, which made it less of a pleasant stay and we would not stay here again. It Is a shame as the house has great potenti al but needs some maintanence and a thorough Deep clean

Perfect

Great location for us and all needed amenities. The view is spectacular and easily a place we would return to. Unfortunately, the shower drain was clogged on arrival so we had to unclog a large amount and also had to buy toilet paper as no spare was obviously seen. These were minor issues compared to how our holiday went. Thank you.

While we ended up not staying in the property the reasons why I will not put in here. Richard the property owner was a great gentleman and easy to communicate with and the views from the property are amazing, as is the wildlife around the area. Top tip go the extra mile and take the old Skye ferry to get you to the property it's worth it!

Hidden Gem

I'm into wildlife photography so this cottage was perfect , if you enjoy peace and quiet , the night stars and watching the changing colours all around outside then this is the place for you. The cottage was immaculately clean and had everything we needed and was certainly excellent value for money, just remember this cottage was built in the 1800s and from the outside has kept all of its charm which we loved , the shower was fantastic aswell . I've been renting cottages on the West Cost of Scotland for over 25 years and this cottage for the price ticks all the boxes , we will certainly be returning in the future

Lovely but needs to be improved

Kylerhea is a fantastic location if you like it remote. The cottage is a few metres from the shore with seals and it has great windows. Unfortunately there was a problem with ventilation and there was a very mouldy smell in every room. Also the cleaners seem to do a very quick job - the cottage was quite dirty. We informed Richard, who was understanding and we hope that the situation will improve.

About the host

Hosted by Richard

Host profile image
I was raised in the Far East but, as a descendent of Somerled’s (which of course mathematically all Scots are,) Skye is my spiritual home today. When you arrive, you will see what makes it that and, why you will be drawn to it too !

Why they chose this property

This is a cosy and quiet former croft house, which I have known for 46 years and love dearly. I haven't included a photo of myself so as to let you enjoy filling the space and claiming the magic for yourself.

What makes this property unique

The picture windows and the views they afford to you across to Glenelg and, behind the house, up the Kylerhea Glen to the beallach.
