I cannot say enough positive things about this unique vacation spot!! From the entertaining boat captain, Gus, to the modern decor of the cottage (with stunning views), this is the perfect destination for family/small-group gatherings or a quiet place to just unwind. I wish that I could have stayed longer and I hope to return again someday.

After the Lighthouse was automated in 1962, the cottage was bought by Gavin Maxwell, who wrote Ring of Bright Water, a touching story about an otter called Mij.
The cottage was owned by one other local family before it was sold to my mother, Paulita Sedgwick, in the late 1980's.
I began the long, slow process of renovating the cottage in 2014 and it was finally ready for public use in the summer of 2019.

Eilean Sionnach has a magical quality we're sure you're going to fall in love with, just as we have done. There's something so special about being out there when the tide comes in and for a few hours, nobody can reach you and you can take time to simply relax and 'be.'
All around are the most majestic views and for the patient wildlife watcher, the rewards can be great. Otters (perhaps descendants of Mij) still live on and around the island, there are seals resident in the bay and a pod of harbour porpoises hunt in front of the Lighthouse on a regular basis. Right next to Eilean Sionnach (which means Island of the Fox) is Bird Island, as you might imagine, a popular haven for local and migratory sea birds.
