About this property

Raven Cottage in beautiful Glen Eynort near Carbost. 3 bedrooms, 6 people.

Raven Cottage features a lounge with a woodburning stove for cosy nights in. There is a TV and a DVD player well stocked with DVD's for your enjoyment. We have super fast Starlink satellite Wi-Fi with download speeds of about 200mbps. The kitchen/dining room is modern with all conveniences, including a dishwasher and seats six comfortably.
There is a large utility/cloak room with washing machine and tumble dryer and further inner cloakroom/store for all the things you never know where to put.

On the ground level there are two bedrooms; one double and one bunk room with full size beds sharing a bathroom (bath and overhead shower).

Upstairs, accessed by an Italian beech spiral staircase, is the master bedroom with king size bed and en suite shower room. There is also a reading and games area with table football.

Outside is a large fully enclosed garden for children to play and explore (being aware of the stream mentioned below) and for all to enjoy the magnificent mountain scenery and the local wildlife (including ravens, buzzards, owls, bats, golden and sea eagles and occasionally otters and pine martens). The Allt nam Fitheach stream marks the easterly boundary of the garden and can be enjoyed from the overhanging decking. There is a shed that houses garden chairs etc and has space to store bikes etc. Glenbrittle Forest is across from the stream and offers excellent walking and cycling with magnificent views of the Cuillins. There is also a sea kayak put in point less than 2km from the cottage. It’s only about a 10 minute drive to Carbost with local amenities (shop, pub, distillery, cafes etc) and a 15 minute drive (depending on number of camper vans) to the Slig and Fairy pools for trips into the Cuillins.

We loved staying here. There was more than enough room for the 4 of us. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The property was beautiful and the host provided us with so much to do. It was secluded and private. He was quick to respond to answer any questions we had, and we would definitely come back and stay. I hope to return someday!!

Superb accommodation in a very quiet part of Skye - remote setting but easily accessible with a bit of driving. Wonderful local walks nearby. Lovely garden too. Everything you could possibly need provided. Laundry facilities particularly good - new washing machine, tumble dryer and airer. The main bedroom is spacious with lovely views. Can’t fault the place. Would love to stay again if we return to Skye

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Raven cottage. The sheep and bird sounds were lovely, as well as the babbling water from the creek. Being able to build a fire in the living room was a lovely way to heat the house as well. Thank you for all the helpful information about the area and the Isle of Skye.

Raven Cottage was every bit as charming and magical as it looks in the photos. Worth the drive into the Highlands! (Not for the faint of heart.) Pristine, cozy, incredibly well planned and laid out. Drinking tea looking at that garden every morning was a highlight of our trip, and the kids loved exploring the property. We had everything we needed to truly relax.

Raven Cottage was a quiet and peaceful home base for our stay on Skye. I would recommend this location for anyone wanting to step away from the areas full of tourists at the end of the day. There are beautiful nearby hikes, waterfalls, and beautiful stargazing at night if you're lucky enough to have clear skies.

Great stay on raven cottage!

What a great place to stay for your visit to the magical land of Skye. We loved the location, just far enough off the beaten path but not too far once you learn the island. Absolutely recommend Raven Cottage and visiting the Isle of Skye!

Ravens Cottage 2025

If you want you a beautiful remote location for a relaxed family holiday, Ravens Cottage is the ideal location. The property is lovely and gave us a great base for many walks around the rugged yet beautiful landscape of Skye. We would highly recommend Ravens Cottage if you want to explore the Isle of Skye.

About the host

Hosted by Stephen Hall

Host profile image
We are active walkers, climbers, cavers, bikers and kayakers.

Why they chose this property

Although only 10 minutes from Carbost, Raven Cottage and Eynort is a world away from rush of modern life. This is a real escape into the peace and quiet that most people can only dream of elsewhere in the UK.

What makes this property unique

Walking, biking, kayaking, eagle and general wildlife spotting, history going back over 1000 years, even some summer river swimming, all direct from the cottage. Peaceful even compared to the rest of Skye, but with excellent for those occasional rainy days.
