Fossil Cottage

Summary

Fossil Cottage in Breakish on the Isle of Skye, just two miles from the Skye Bridge, offers fabulous self-catering accommodation in a truly idyllic and secluded setting. Our cottage enjoys stunning views of the mountains, seashore and wildlife, with the local otter often seen playing and fishing right outside.

Accommodation

This unique croft cottage enjoys a tranquil and quirky interior, perfect for a memorable getaway. The cottage is privately situated on a tidal estuary brimming with wildlife. As well as otters, you can regularly see seals, seabirds, waders and buzzards. Ancient fossils are embedded in the walls of the building and you can find more along the shore.

Fossil Cottage is around 180 years old but has been renovated to offer relaxing accommodation, while retaining its individuality. The light and airy open-plan living room offers a lovely space to relax and enjoy the wildlife and gorgeous sunsets. There is a smart TV, but the views are better! A well-equipped kitchen area has a fridge-freezer, microwave, gas cooker and dishwasher.

The bedroom has a comfy double bed where you’ll sleep well after a day out and about discovering the area. Next to the bedroom is a WC and shower room. All bed linen and towels are included.
There is a short walk of about 80 metres down a gently sloping gravel track from the car parking area to the cottage.
