Beachcomber Cottage, Waternish

Beachcomber cottage is a traditional fisherman's cottage next door to the Michelin star restaurant "LochBay", run by Michael Smith. It is also a minute's walk from the "Stein Inn" that celebrity chef Paul Rankin took over in 2019.
The accommodation warmly welcomes you with it's coal fire and traditional interior. There are 2 bedrooms, one shower room, and a kitchen/diner too, all that is needed for a very comfortable stay here on Skye.
Benefitting from a private garden to the front, across the road, heading down to the shore, facing west so sunsets here can be spectacular.
Waternish has a dark skies area where, on occasions when the atmospheric conditions are right, you can see the Aurora Borealis.
Come see for yourself!

Perfection

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beachcomber cottage and are already planning a return visit, it had everything we needed both inside, outside, and with the beautiful location. Very comfortable, only suggestion would be to upgrade the pillows on the bed as they are getting a bit lumpy :)

Perfect cottage

We had the best time at this cottage! It is adorable, comfortable, and in the perfect location. It was myself, and my three adult children, and it was the perfect location to call home while exploring Skye.

Wonderful cottage in stunning location

We fell in love with Beechcomber cottage. Stunning location and the beautiful garden was perfect in the sunshine ( That we weren't expecting... even in July 😂) Very private with lovely garden furniture and the perfect views to the sea. The decor was to a high standard and in keeping with the cottage. Everything we needed was there which made our stay so easy and pleasant. Beautiful bed linen, towels and lovely toiletries. Looking forward to booking up again.

Nice little house with every comfort you need

We loved to stay there. The house is well equiped with all you need. The points of interests are 15 to 60 minutes by car away. The house is in a dead zone, but the Wi-Fi is very good. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet mit allem, was man braucht. Die Sehenswürdigkeiten sind 15 bis 60 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt. Das Haus ist zwar in einem Funkloch, dafür ist das WLAN sehr gut.

Lovely Cottage in a Superb Location

Beachcomber cottage is a charming and very well appointed accommodation within doors of 2 of the best restaurants Skye has to offer. The place was spotless, warm and very comfortable and the Waternish Peninsula area is both beautiful and a little less well trafficked part of the island. We would highly recommend both.

cozy

enjoyed proximity to Stein Inn, wasn’t aware that there were so few eating establishments close by, but we wouldn’t have changed anything. it rained the whole 3 days so we stayed inside and made a fire with all the supplies provided. Would recommend bringing groceries as the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to make a meal or two.

Loved, loved, loved, loved it!

We had a fantastic stay at the Beachcomber Cottage. It is a beautiful cottage with modern appliances along with original architecture throughout the cottage itself. The two bedrooms are spacious and beds were comfortable. Water pressure was good and toiletries were provided along with plenty of towels. The location is spectacular with views out over Loch Bay from the private garden.
