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.

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

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.

Exceptional views!

The views from this property were astounding. We found the single track road a bit daunting when we first arrived (driving on the left was also a factor lol) but we soon realized that people respect their fellow drivers and the roads were no longer a challenge at all. We explored Skye with ease from this location, and the peace and serenity it offered was a gift. The bed was comfortable and the linens were lovely. The wifi access was weak but by constantly resetting it we were able to get access. Rarely had a good phone signal either but those were not really a bother to us.

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.

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.

Ruhiges Haus mit schönster Aussicht, weit weg vom Trubel

Sehr freundlicher Kontakt und ausführliche Informationen vor der Anreise durch Mrs. McLeod. Das Haus ist einfach zu finden und wir fanden es wie beschrieben vor. Es ist ein älteres Cottage, sehr geräumig und einfach, aber gemütlich eingerichtet. Schönes Bad, ausreichend Handtücher, auch in der Küche. Wir hatten kühle Temperaturen im Mai, aber die Elektro-Heizungen haben schnell für wohlige Wärme im Wohnzimmer und Bad gesorgt. Die Küche ist mit allen notwendigen Dingen ausgestattet, die wir auch sauber vorfanden. Besonders erwähnen möchten wir die unglaubliche Aussicht, nicht nur von draußen, sondern auch aus Ess- und Schlafzimmerfenster! Egal zu welcher Tageszeit, es war immer wieder faszinierend. Wir haben mit geöffnetem Schlafzimmerfenster wunderbar schlafen können, die Ruhe war unbeschreiblich. Der schöne Weg zum Pub "The Stein Inn" unten am Wasser gelegen über die wenig befahrene Landstraße dauert ca. 15 Minuten. Unbedingt reservieren, wenn man abends Essen möchte. Sehr gute Küche mit modernen Akzenten, gemütlich auch für ein leckeres Ale. Die Fahrzeiten zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten haben wir in Kauf genommen. Da wir Ganztagsausflüge mit Wanderungen unternommen haben, störten uns diese nicht. Tipp: Einkaufen schon auf dem Festland (Morrisons in Fort William) oder im Coop in Portree auf der Hinfahrt. Kleiner Laden, nette Cafés und Restaurants in Dunvegan, 15 Min Fahrzeit. Fazit: Wer Ruhe sucht, ist hier richtig. Viel Platz, WLAN, Spiele etc. vorhanden. Wir kommen wieder!

Lage hervorragend, Objekt unzumutbar

Die Lage des Objektes ist beeindruckend und hervorragend, wenngleich man einen sehr langen Anreiseweg hat und der Ort auch weit weg von Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Sehenswürdigkeiten liegt. Das Cottage ist marode und die komplette Unterkunft roch verschimmelt und war klamm. Am Schlimmsten war in diesem Zusammenhang die Tatsache, dass die Fenster in beiden Schlafräumen in der oberen Etage nicht geöffnet werden durften, ein absolut unzumutbarer Zustand!!!!! Das Wohnzimmer war dreckig und voller Hundehaare, Essensreste im Teppich, die Möbel uralt und marode. Wir mussten zunächst die komplette untere Etage putzen und Teppiche draußen ausklopfen, um asthmatische Anfälle zu verhindern! Da wir von Schimmel und Hundehaaren trotzdem Asthmaanfälle bekamen kippten wir die Fenster in den Schlafräumen, was dazu führte, dass sie uns nachts bei Sturm komplett aus der Fassung in den Innenraum flogen und wir sie nachts nur mit viel Mühe wieder einbauen konnten. Ein unfassbarer Zustand! Wir finden diese Wohnung sollte bis zu einer kontrollierten Komplettsanierung aus dem Programm genommen werden! Dafür einen Preis von 2800 € zu verlangen, ist eine absolute Frechheit!! Dazu kam, dass die ganze Küche klebrig war und die Schuladen waren so alt und locker, dass man aufpassen musste nicht die Schubladenfront in der Hand zu haben. Die Qualität von Töpfen und Pfannen war katastrophal! Vollkommen ungesäuberte Dinge wie Käsereiben standen im Schrank! Der Backofen funktionierte nicht, keine Fernbedienung funktionierte, sämtliche Lampen hatten z.T. kaputte Glühbirnen. Die Recyclingtonne war randvoll mit Müll, die zweite Restmülltonne halbvoll, was für eine 4-köpfige Familie für 2 Wochen unzureichend ist! Die Kaffeemaschine war undicht, und stand ständig in einer Wasserlache. Die Dusche im Bad tropfte ständig auf die komplett verschimmelte und verfaulte Fußleiste. Im oberen Stockwerk war eine abgeschlossenen Kammer - vermutlich ein ehemals kleines Bad - indem es unaufhörlich tropfte und plätscherte - vermutlich ist das Dach o.Ä. undicht. Unsere Erfahrungen haben wir fotographisch festgehalten.
