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.

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.

We did a lot of driving around during the day. Coming back to the cottage was one of the highlights of the day. We both appreciated how nice and clean and quiet the space was. There were beautiful views both coming and going. I am sure we will never forget our stay at Raven cottage.

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.

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!

A wonderful place!

We loved our stay at Ravens Cottage! The drive is beautiful, the Fairy Pool and Talisker Beach were close by and wonderful. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had a lot of space for our family. My son loves cows and could sometimes see them outside of the living room grazing up the hill.

We had an amazing stay at Raven Cottage! There were four of us staying there for a nice, relaxing trip to the Isle of Skye, and we loved everything about it. We were looking for a remote location with things to do locally, and we also wanted somewhere that was close to some of the main sights on Skye. We loved the location, including the nearby loch, abbey ruins, and forest. We also weren't too far from most of the big-ticket items around the isle, so it was perfect for what we were hoping for. The cottage was well-maintained and had everything we needed. We absolutely loved the fireplace and how cozy everything was on rainy days. The host also had some excellent suggestions for places to eat and places to visit. Overall, a truly perfect visit, and we hope to stay at Raven Cottage again someday!

This was our second stay on Skye, the first time we stayed in Staffin. I am glad we chose a more remote location this time. The glen is so beautiful, as is the garden, and the accommodation itself was very comfortable. The area was quiet and relaxing. The road into the glen was a very well maintained single track and was easy to navigate. From the home you can easily explore the glen and we found it to be an excellent base for exploring the island overall. The host has created a guide for local hikes that was thoughtful and much appreciated. There is so much more to Skye than the tourist hot spots. We would absolutely stay here again in the future. Only criticism would be the late check-in. Most of the things to do in Carbost (Talisker, etc.) close around 5PM. Thank you!

Solitude

What an awesome place to spend a week immersed in the beauty of both the mountains and the sea. Both are right out the front door and calling for you to join them. What you will not see are people. Literally a great place to get away from it all!

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.
