We lived absolutely everything ! Great location for us and our dogs. Enjoyed Broadford hotel for pool and a ping in eves that we weren’t snuggled up at home. Walked the dogs each day on the beach infront of house when tide out. Close to amenities, very very comfortable bed, amazing shower and dual baths. Amazing hosts and very well equipped house with just about everything thought of ! Xx

This luxurious self catering cottage is in an idyllic location, situated only a few metres from the seashore on Broadford Bay, which is one of Scotland’s finest, most unspoilt nature havens. At low water the tide falls back some 100 metres and, as the sea rises to stop at the bottom of the garden, an abundance of birds feed at the water’s edge. The occasional otter which crosses the shore can be viewed at close quarters from the comfort of the lounge, using the giant binoculars.
The cottage is run by Gordon Macphie (with some help from his mum!) a native of the Isle of Skye. It was run as a highly successful Scottish Tourist Board 5 star self catering facility by his mum up until 2008 when she retired. His forefathers were stonemasons who were brought to the Island by Macleod Estates to work on Dunvegan Castle and other estate properties.
The cottage is ideally placed in the village of Broadford as it is within easy walking distance of local pubs, eating places, shops and restaurants, while it is set in its own private garden grounds. It has ample parking and a private pathway to the seashore, which is just 15 metres from the property. It enjoys superb open views over Broadford Bay to the magical Island of Pabay, with the heights of Applecross in the background and the Islands of Scalpay, Longay, Crowlins and Guillamon scattered across the waters leading to the mystical Islands of Raasay and Rona, which can be seen to the north. Boating activities at Broadford Pier can be viewed across the Bay, as can magnificent sunsets.
