About this property

Red Cuillin Cabin on riverbank

Secluded spacious cabin, enveloped in trees, located at the side of the banks of the Garbh Allt (Scottish Gaelic for Rough River).
5 minute drive to the town of Broadford (Supermarket, Restaurants, Shops, and a bar or two).
As the name implies, RCC is located at the foothills of the Cuillins, Corbets.
One can walk to the other side of Skye through Strathmhor (Scottish Gaelic for Big Valley); a most wonderful walk in the footsteps of Bonnie Prince Charlie fleeing the English.
Should you wish, I can provide a cultural tour; an amble around an original Viking Settlement, with examples of Pictish foundations upon which subsequent buildings were positioned.

The quaintest little cabin we stayed in during our visit to Scotland. Our host, Eoin, was so informative, welcoming, interesting and helpful and gave us insights into southern Skye that we would otherwise have missed; thank you again Eion.

A charming cabin filled with eclectic decor and Scottish history! Very well equipped cabin with everything needed to make our stay comfortable. Eoin was a wonderful host who made it a point to get to know us and offer tips of things to do and see on Isle of Skye. True Scottish hospitality!!

I loved staying here! The cabin was bigger than I expected and everything was clean and cozy. The space has all the amenities you could need for a trip! The outdoor space is very private and scenic. Despite being close to a main road, it was quiet and peaceful. Eoin is also just a lovely host with some great recommendations of hidden gems to visit. I also really appreciated the central location. I would return given the chance!

Enjoyed having place to ourselves, and able to make meals. Host showed us around, and gave some good hiking suggestions, and let us help feed the sheep! Good for people who don’t mind a quirky place to stay , and don’t need internet/wifi. Not far from town to get groceries at co-op.

Unique experience

We stayed 3 nights and was greeted each morning by a sheep peeping down from the hill while we had our coffee.The washer and dryer were great and we were able to cook easily with all the appliances provided.

Amazing!

While a bit off the beaten path and rustic, our stay here was amazing! Eoin, the owner showed us around, told us some local history and even let us feed his sheep and see the newborn lambs. He also let us watch his dog Midge work the sheep. He is a wonderful host! Highly recommended!

I loved this pair of sisters, Carole and Penny from Alaska. It was one long hoot from the beginning of their visit until the end. Did me good. Moran taing Slainte mhath mhor. Eoin

We loved our stay here, it really felt like you could shut the world out and relax. The cabin was beautiful and unique; so thoughtfully decorated with interesting items as well as having everything we needed. The garden was a great extra space and the new firepit was an added bonus. We loved sitting out and watching the bats in the evening. Eoin was easy to contact. We really appreciated him sharing his knowledge of the area and it's history. It made our time there special.

My stay at this little cabin on the Isle of Skye was pure magic. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed so warmly by the host, who not only gave me a lovely tour but also shared local insights that made exploring the island even more special.The garden felt like a sanctuary — peaceful, grounding, and touched with that unmistakable Skye energy, where nature and fairy magic meet. The minimal phone reception turned out to be a blessing, offering the perfect chance to disconnect and just be.This cabin has such soul and character. I’d recommend it to anyone seeking stillness, beauty, and a true escape from the noise of everyday life.

Delightful, quirky property with everything needed for a short stay. The host was very welcoming and even left us a bottle of wine and some fudge. He also came out to meet us on the road just to make sure we didn't miss the entrance. We very much enjoyed our stay, especially the quiet location which was only a short drive to the centre of Broadford. The bed was comfortable and we particularly liked the luxury linen. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone desiring a peaceful retreat near some great restaurants and spectacular scenery.

Cosy & in a good location with a friendly and informative host. Storm Amy brought rain and wind and power outages as we travelled to Elon’s cabin on Isle of Skye. It also brought a very proud and friendly host in Eoin, sharing his knowledge and history as well as his cabin. We appreciated the welcoming gifts which included wine, flowers and biscuits! And his suggestions on lesser know parts of the island to visit (which we did!). Washer and dryer were a huge help, the kitchen had all appliances/equipment and the local coop has everything you might need for food. Waking up to see sheep on the hill and listening to the creek was a wonderful way to start the day- especially when we were able to have coffee outside (weather permitting). There is no internet- get off your phone and enjoy where you are!! -there are many books, maps and decor to keep you busy as you plan your visit or relax after a day of touring/hiking. Our schedule didn’t permit seeing Eoin’s current project - but we hope others in the future provide photos. And- how many sheep did you count in the bedroom…?Highly recommend Red Cullin Cabin!
