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.

Free internet and Broadband connection. There is a payphone in the cottage which accepts incoming calls but whilst the mobile connection is poor inside the cottage, mobile signal can be found in the garden.

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 & MUST BE TAKEN WITHIN SAME WEEK I.E. SAT - SAT

Beautiful location with view of the ocean. Adequate room for 5 adults. Comfortable. Peaceful. Had everything we needed. Cannot beat the location with ability to walk to a coffee yurt in the morning, and a Michelin star restaurant for dinner in the evening.

Close to Heaven

This location is a little preview of Heaven. The views of the ocean, the green fields, mountains, are out of this world, and it is the quietest, most peaceful place I have ever been. You might hear an occasional "baaaa' by the neighbors, "the sheep". Now to the 1800's house...it reminded me of my grandparent's house. It is very comfortable, and looked like what I imagined a Scottish home would be. We wanted the culture of the Scottish people to come through. It was quaint, and we loved it. We never turned on the TVs at all. Just had our souls, bodies and minds restored. Marion is wonderful to communicate with us. The two bedrooms are upstairs, and the bathroom is downstairs. For someone with mobility issues, this should be considered. We did not cook at the property, but there are adequate cooking appliances, etc. My favorite part of the house is the view from the front sitting rooms and the bedrooms upstairs. The beds are comfortable, which is very important to me. Just an amazing experience. If you are looking for a place to relax, away from people and for peace and quiet, this is it. We walked down to the Stein Inn for dinner and loved the beautiful scenery. The dinner was very good, and it was a fun place to go. We traveled here for a few days, and then to Edinburgh. Then on to Switzerland. This VRBO was my favorite place to be for the entire trip. Thank you, Marion, for sharing your cozy home with us.

The perfect place to stay

Eileen Isay was the perfect central location for us to explore Isle of Skye. Dunvegan Castle, Fairy Pools, prehistoric Brochs, hiking in the Cuillins and our favourite hike The Quiraing. Absolutely jaw dropping scenery and magic weather all week. The cottage was ideal for us, cosy, warm, very comfy bed and everything we needed. Every evening we sat by the bay window and watched the amazing sunsets, all of which made our Golden Anniversary a very memorable one. Thankyou Marion!

Amazing location but property was disappointing.

Excellent bedding and sufficient heating. Lovely towels and reasonable facilities. The property itself is tired and it needed a good clean when we arrived. I had to hoover the house and clean the floors. The internal doors don't close properly and some are difficult to open. It needs a makeover to compete with other holiday properties.

Gorgeous Bayside Retreat

We had an amazing stay at this charming little Loch side cottage. The views from the doors and windows out to the loch opening are stunning and the sun sets out over the islands and water making every clear night magical. The interior is simple but has all that you need, is comfortable and warm. Kitchen is well equipped for simple meals and there is ample room otherwise. Outside is a simple yard with grass, fully enclosed with fences and gate at the front entrance. It is within 20-30mins of most of the highlights of Skye. Portree is closest coop (25mins), small grocer in dunvegan for the odd pieces (10min drive). Didn’t get to the Stein inn or lochbay restaurant. Can recommend just hooked on Portree for fresh seafood and the butcher on struan road for fresh meat. Mostly a cultural difference between here and Aus is dogs everywhere, and as it’s impossible to get hair fully out of rugs, couch throw blankets etc, it was obvious if you sat on the floor or have little ones who did. We needed a break from phones, internet, TV but for those who are accustomed/seeking smart TVs and streaming, this wasn’t an option. However, There was a sky connection. We opted for the many puzzles that were available. We loved our stay here and would definitely book again

Comfortable cottage, perfect for our family of 4, with a comfortable king size bed in the master bedroom & decent twin beds in the 2nd bedroom. It had everything we needed for cooking, dining & cosying up for the evening. The view over the loch is breathtaking, and there are lovely walks nearby. Also nearby is The Yurt at Skye Skyns, which is a fabulous place to get coffee & cake, or a bowl of delicious soup. The owner is very friendly, and called us the say after we arrived to check if we had settled in ok & ask if we needed anything. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend this property.

Lovely cottage with views to Outer Hebrides

One of the best things about this cottage was the amazing views over Loch Bay and the Outer Hebrides. The location was peaceful and tranquil ans we were scarcely aware of the neighbouring cortages. We found the cottage to be reasonably well equipped on the whole and enjoyed using the wood burning stove most evenings. Good quality towels were provided and also cleaning products including hand sanitizer at the entrance. Car parking was also easy. We did our main shopping at the Co op in Portree which was a bit of a trek but found the food store in nearby Dunvegan well stocked and reasonably priced. There was no mobile signal at the cottage but the wi-fi signal (secure connection) was good. Our nearest restaurant at Loch Bay was pre booked for the whole of August and September. We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage in Waternish and hope to return to Skye someday soon.
