Acerca de este alojamiento
The Cottar; an ancestral & traditional house just 2m from the sea.
The Cottar is a former 200 year old fisherman's cottage, being part of the nearby, now disused, Herring Station which is currently being lovingly restored by myself, located just five minutes' stroll in a southerly direction along the shore.
The Cottar was originally a 'black house', "tigh dubh" in Gaelic. Again, following the ancient method of construction, The Cottar has no rear wall, being built into a cliff face.
The front of The Cottar is served by a broad, long terrace along the shore, providing a seating and dining area with panoramic views up and down the Loch na Cairaidh.
There is an abundancy of wildlife on display, seals, otters, porpoises, dolphins, and too many birds to mention.
The interior of The Cottar, as befits a two hundred year old cottage, is furnished entirely with original 19th Century furniture. If you expect enveloping, suffocating, marshmallow suites, The Cottar is not the place for you.
All the pictures and artifacts, some are museum pieces, are chosen for their relation to the sea and working the land. I would like to think I am helping my guests understand and be immersed in the culture of the island and it's peoples.
Please note, the bed is an 1830's Scottish galleried sleigh bed, known as a Scottish three-quarter, being some 4'6"x6' (137cm x 183cm).
In addition, there is a metamorphic chaise longue available too.
Should you wish, I can provide a cultural tour; an amble around an original Viking Settlement, with examples of Pictish foundations upon which subsequent buildings were positioned.

Staying at Eion's place was more than just a sleep over.Unlike any other interior design, the place is full of hints at history and traditions that are so important to our host. Also it was an authentic immersion into nature with the visit of a seal in front of our window every morning. We very much appreciated Eion's warm welcome and the house has all you need to feel confortable and enjoy a perfect Scottish atmosphere.We felt very priviledged.So many thanks Eion !

Eoin is such a wonderful host! This cottage is a perfect escape and a great place to lay your head after exploring the isle all day. You can fish right off the front of the cottage, the beach is lovely and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean is heaven.You are going to be “unplugged” in a sense; no TV, no internet but trust me it’s amazing. The perfect amount of modern conveniences mixed with beautiful historic home.

Beautiful location next to sea loch. Amiable host recommended activities and best places to see and eat locally. Although the bed was noted as a smaller size, it was the fact it was against the wall that my husband found tricky. Not being able to stretch out lengthwise, something we will bear in mind for the future. There were many chairs supplied, but as photos portray, most were quite upright, so if you like to stretch out, or lounge on a comfy sofa this property is not for you. However the amazing location, and epic landscapes throughout the Isle of Skye will be remembered by us both for a very long time.

Re your review.
When you arrived you made no comment on the roaring log fire I had put on for you. Nor did you comment, thank me, for your £27.00 gift.
The bed sizes are quite clearly written in the listing for The Cottar. The photos quite clearly show the bed against the wall?? Where did you expect it to be? Re the furniture, what part of " if you want marshmallow suits and suffocating sofas The Cotttar is not for you", did you not understand?? The chaise longue , sofa to you, is made for relaxing. Your comments are akin to the character that went into the sea then ran out complaining it was wet.
Without exception in the past three years I have offered guests a free Cultural Tour of the Viking Settlement I am partially restoring. You were the exception I didn't offer you a tour, it would have been unbearable. Draw what you will from that. The disappointment was mutual.

Amazing place to stay
The Cottar is beautiful and rich with history. It’s very comfortable and is right on the water, in a great location. If you want a place with true character and ties to Skye, this is the place for you. Eoin the host is a really nice guy and very knowledgeable, highly recommend having a chat with him. Overall one of the best places I’ve ever stayed for accommodation.

Yes, the kitchen was adequately equipped, and we were warm with the fire and space heaters for our days and nights. We had to move some items to have spaces for our belongings, however, the antiques and pictures gave a wonderful sense of former times and lives of seafarers. Thank you Eoin for your loving craftsmanship and care, Frederica.

We were blown away by the location of The Cottar…. We knew we’d have a water view, but this is mere steps from waves, rolling breezes, and the gorgeous water. The house is off a main road but felt very secluded and private. All communications with the host were friendly, and his responses were timely and kind. Additionally, he helped direct us to a good restaurant and some amazing sightseeing we would have missed otherwise. We had the best time!

What a wonderful property and a fantastic stay. It was great meeting the owner who met us upon arrival. The cottage had been prepared with a bottle of wine and a warm fire. Along with the electric heaters - this is a very quiet, cozy cabin to base day trips to surrounding Isle of Skye sights. Thanks for all the sightseeing recommendations Eoin! It was great to meet you.

Isle of Skye cottage
Eoin's cottage was on the shores of the Inner Sound with great views of Scalpay and the Isle of Raasay. The cottage has been in Eoin's family for 250+ years and its rustic feel is perfect for a remote Isle of Skye adventure. Located close to Broadford and Portree, the cottage is a good home base to explore all that Skye has to offer!

Wonderful to be able to stay here for more than a couple of days. Very relaxing, quiet, great to watch the tides go in an out. The space is cozy, the kitchen has everything you need to cook for yourself for a week, and it was nice to be able to do laundry! No wifi but cell service is strong. The place was perfect for us, hot water on demand. Only thing to watch is if you're over 5'6" the bed might be too small for you (it wasn't for us). Eoin is a terrific host, and shared some of the Pictish and other archaeological elements on his property. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you Eoin!

No TV, no neighbors, just the tranquility of the lake! Great cooking facilities. Parking is tough but doable. Thanks for 2 great nights and the hike you recommended- superb!

Quaint & character filled with a welcoming host.
The Cotter was located on the sea side with beautiful views. Eoin, our host welcomed us personally, and freely shared his experiences and knowledge of Skye. The Cotter was quaint and character filled, and thoughtfully equipped and furnished. It was quiet and secluded. The bonus was an open log fire and a supply of wood.
Thank you Eoin for a wonderful few days.
