Originally a farmer’s blackhouse, the cottage has been fully modernised to offer a relaxing and comfortable stay. The accommodation includes two bedrooms and a sofa bed, sleeping up to six people. The bedrooms share a family bathroom, with towels and bedding provided for convenience.

Wildlife is abundant, with otters frequently feeding and fishing around the pontoon, seals swimming through Caol Chàrna narrows, and eagles often perching nearby.
The island offers a unique freedom to explore both on land and by boat. Its breathtaking natural beauty provides the perfect setting for guided walks or independent adventures. Visitors can enjoy hillside rambles, shoreline explorations in search of rock pools and crabs, archaeological discoveries, or launching their own boating expeditions. The lack of light pollution allows for stunning views of the Milky Way on clear nights. Sitting outside in the peaceful silence, gazing at the stars and spotting shooting stars and satellites, is an unforgettable experience.
For those wishing to explore further afield, the mainland offers several attractions, including the Ardnamurchan Distillery, Ardnamurchan Natural History Centre, the pristine Sanna Beach, and the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse. A visit to the iconic Jacobite steam train is also a popular choice.
