A cosy cabin for two on a working croft looking out across beautiful Loch Snizort.

A cosy, open-plan cabin for two overlooking the sea in a crofting community on the Waternish coast, Isle of Skye.

The accommodation consists of a lounge area, a well equipped kitchen, a toilet and shower room, with a double bed on the mezzanine. There is also a washing machine, wifi, plenty of books & a ‘smart’ TV linked to fibre broadband. In addition, we have provided a wide range of local information, maps and wild life identification guides.

In keeping with its views over the sea, The Cabin has a marine theme with its furnishings, artwork, some of its wall lights and boaty staircase with a few objects originally from old boats.

The Cabin is situated on a traditional working croft – sheep and a friendly, sometimes over-friendly, band of chickens. The surrounding area is a quiet crofting community along a single track road by the sea.

The view from The Cabin is ever changing, the stunning mix of sea, Sky and Scottish landscape provide a breath taking mix of Skye scenery rarely seen elsewhere. Visitors may catch glimpses of dolphins, eagles and the occasional whale that will make a holiday to remember.

There are beautiful views from The Cabin and croft. To the north lies Lewis and Harris, the Outer Hebrides; to the east across the beautiful Loch Snizort is the ferry port of Uig and the Trotternish Mountains behind; and to the south are views to the Raasay and mainland mountains some sixty miles away; in the west there are hill grazing grounds and some lovely walks. The Cabin enjoys, when the weather is kind, memorable sights of both the Sun and Moon rising over the Trotternish ridge across the loch. In the summer the sun rises early, perhaps too early for some! Another amazing sight are the Northern Lights which can be seen during autumn and winter when the nights are clear.

A seasonal array of bird life and wild flowers are found on the croft land, and surrounding hills and cliffs. The Waternish countryside make the Cabin an ideal centre for walking or cycling. Scotland has a ‘Right To Roam’ policy. This means visitors are able to walk freely as long as they observe the Scottish countryside Code, especially closing gates behind them.

At the top of the croft, through the gate opposite the Cabin is a table and seating area that has wonderful uninterrupted sea views. Next to this is a fire pit and barbecue for guest’s use. We sell sustainably sourced Scottish logs and charcoal

We are very sorry but we are unable to take any pets at the cabin because of lambs, sheep and hens which roam the croft.

The Cabin is on a working croft and lies within its own garden and next to the croft house.
