About this cottage rental
The traditional stone built croft cottage has 2 public rooms - lounge with cosy wood burning stove (initial supply of logs and coal supplied) Wi-Fi enabled satellite, Smart TV/DVD player, i-pod docking station, dining room seating 6 people also with satellite TV, library of books, games, puzzles, DVD's, videos, maps, details of the many local forestry/coastal walks. Both public rooms and bedrooms with sea views. All electricity, heating, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels included in tariff. Dog friendly with large enclosed garden , panoramic views across Loch Bay and onwards to Outer Islands - amazing sunsets. Walking distance to the only Michelin Star Restaurant in Isle of Skye
Free internet and Broadband connection.
There are two large comfortable bedrooms - one double bedroom (King size bed) and one twin - both having extra fold-down single beds if required. Bed linen and towels are all supplied. Extra blankets supplied for the chillier evenings. Again both bedrooms with sea views.
Fully equipped kitchen with large fridge freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, microwave, toasty maker, coffee machine, electric kettle etc.
Waternish is centre of the most prominent peninsulas to project north west into the Minch. It is an extremely pretty area and very green. There are a series of scattered settlements here including Bay, Lusta, Stein, Hallin, Halistra and Trumpan. There are several places worth a visit whether it be historic or just local attractions. These include 'Fairy Bridge' dating from the early 1800's and apparently named because it was believed to be the haunt of fairies and where the then Chief MacLeod was given the famous 'FairyFlag' by his fairy wife (before she left him returning to her own people) to be waved only three times if the MacLeod Clan were in danger. The flag has been waved on two occasions and is now kept in Dunvegan Castle. Dunvegan Castle (about 15 minute drive) is the ancestral home of the chieftains of the Clan MacLeod. The castle can trace its history back to around 1200AD.
Also to be found in the Dunvegan area the beautiful Coral Beach - one of the best beaches in Skye with great views of the highest sea cliffs in Skye, Dunvegan Head.
The historic Trumpan church in Waternish was the scene of a bloody massacre of the MacLeod clan by the MacDonalds in the middle of the 16th century. There is an excellent picnic area here where you can enjoy superb views. Nearby you will find the path leading to the Waternish lighthouse for those of you who enjoy walking.
PLEASE NOTE MINIMUM HIRE IS FOR 4 NIGHTS

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
This places is great, and the views are amazing. Unfortunately it rained the entire time we were there, so we did not get one of the fantastic sunsets that others have raved about. However, we appreciated the supplies left to get a fire going (and instructions on how to properly use the stove), because it was nice to have after a day out in the chilly rain. The only thing that is not in the listing that I think folks should know is that the bathroom is on the first floor, and both bedrooms are on the second floor. The bathroom is quite spacious and recently renovated. But, the stairs are a bit short and have a curve. So, if you need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, it's not ideal. It wasn't a big deal for us, but it may be others. That's why I wanted to make sure it was noted. Also, the clothes dryer is behind one of the kitchen cabinets. We didn't find it until our last day there. Because there are several locations to hang-dry clothing, we thought there was only a washing machine (it doesn't have a cabinet door hiding it). So if rains on you the whole time (like it did us), be sure to open all the cabinets to find the dryer that can help dry your clothing.
