Oystercatchers Holiday Cottage, Breakish, Broadford, Isle of Skye


Oystercatchers Holiday Cottage, Breakish, Broadford, Isle of Skye 

Located in the quaint area of Breakish, just a short drive from Broadford on the Isle of Skye, Oystercatchers Holiday Cottage offers a self-catering getaway perfect for those looking to unwind and rejuvenate. Conveniently located only 10 minutes from the Skye Bridge and 20 minutes from the Mallaig-Armadale Ferry, this idyllic accommodation provides easy access combined with serene isolation.

Oystercatchers Holiday Cottage is a traditional 1.5 story house that comfortably sleeps up to six people. Set within exquisite gardens that extend to a tidal inlet overlooking the Ardnish Peninsula, the cottage is a haven of peace and quiet. Guests can enjoy the stunning, uninterrupted views across Broadford Bay towards the Red Cuillins from the comfort of the garden.

Recently awarded 4 Stars by Visit Scotland, the cottage has been tastefully refurbished to ensure every stay is both enjoyable and comfortable. It features a modern heating system with individual controls in each room, adding a touch of modern convenience to its rustic charm.

The living area is equipped with comfy seating, a warming wood burner, a 32’’ smart TV with Freest, a Blu-ray/multi-region DVD player, sound bar, and an iPod dock, creating a cosy environment for relaxing evenings. The kitchen/dining area is well-appointed with an electric cooker, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, slow cooker, toaster, and coffee maker. An oak dining table seating six invites guests to enjoy lovely home-cooked meals.

The cottage comprises three bedrooms: a downstairs double, a first-floor king, and an upstairs twin room. The convenience of a bathroom on each floor includes an upstairs shower room with an electric shower and a downstairs bathroom featuring a P-shaped bath with a shower over.

Outside, the fenced garden includes BBQ facilities and patio furniture, perfect for enjoying the mild days outdoors. The extensive land around the cottage features a stock fence, ideal for a bay-side fire or simply soaking in the panoramic views. For those interested in boating, the proximity of the water at high tide makes launching kayaks, canoes, or dinghies a breeze, with easy pull-up onto the garden for storage.

Despite its proximity to local amenities, being just a 10-minute drive from Broadford and less than a mile from the main road, the cottage benefits from a private road access, ensuring quiet. The low light pollution in the area also makes it an ideal spot for stargazing, often accompanied by the soothing sounds of seabirds and geese overhead.
