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!

A great cosy cottage in a beautiful location and only a few meters from a great pub The Stein Inn. The cottage was clean, easy to check in and had everything you’d need, even a fireplace. Would love to stay again.

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.

A wonderful stay at the Cottage Beachcomber

We have spent 3 days at the Cottage Beachcomber, Waternish. 3 magic days. The cottage is very cosy, warm and confortable. We really felt home Although the weather was not terrific, we could enjoy the garden across the small road and the scenic view over the loch. The cottage is located just between two nice places for dinner: the Michelin awarded Loch Bay restaurant (There was no availability, reservation required several weeks ahead of time) and the excellent Stein Inn. In brief, the best memory of our 2w trip across Scotland.

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.

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.

Perfect stay!

Beautiful cottage set right on the shore equipped with everything you could need for a perfect stay on Skye! We chose this beautiful place for a base to explore Neist, Storr, Quiraing and more as it was ideally located with most places 35-45 minutes away. Portree is also around a 30 minutes drive. The cottage itself was cosy, warm and spacious enough for 4 adults. The lounge and fireplace was welcomed after hiking around the island all day. We would highly recommend this place and would 100% stay again!

Beachcomber Cottage

Quaint cottage directly on the Loch Bay. Clean and comfortable. Garden with seating and table. Stone beach with water access. Found many pieces of colorful pottery and glassware! There are two restaurants, one is Loch Bay which is Michelin awarded. Weeks wait to get a reservation. The other is Stein. Reservations suggested. No other food, so stop at a Co-O prior to arriving!

Friends and I stayed at the Beachcomber for 3 nights of a 2 week trip in Scotland. Honestly, I would have been happy to spend the whole 2 weeks here. The stay was one of the highlights of the trip with the charming location, local history, surprising restaurant choices from historic inn to Michelin Star and gift shop with items by local artists. The cottage was over the top charming as well, with equipped kitchen, lots of info on surrounding area, clean, comfortable, can't say enough good things. I will happily return if possible!
