About this property

Charming 2-Bed Cottage with Loch Bay Views – Waternish, Isle of Skye

Peace. Views. Off-Grid Comfort.

Tucked away in a quiet gathering of crofts simply known as 'Bay', Two Bay Cottage is a charming, detached hideaway on the peaceful west side of the Isle of Skye. Recently renovated to the highest standards, this beautiful stone-built croft offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern luxury—with uninterrupted views of the bay from almost every angle.

Whether you're a couple, a small family, or a group of friends seeking to disconnect and recharge, Two Bay Cottage is your ideal island escape.

The Space -

Accessed via a single-track road, the cottage offers complete seclusion and truly spectacular bay views—no matter what wild weather Skye throws your way.

Originally an outbuilding converted some 30 years ago, it’s been beautifully refurbished with thoughtful details and home comforts:

🛏️ Two spacious bedrooms downstairs – one king-size & one twin
🚿 Modern shower room & separate WC
🔥 Log-burning stove in the open-plan upstairs living space
🍽️ Open kitchen, dining & lounge area with panoramic windows
🌤️ Outdoor seating for those rare sunny Skye days
🧺 Laundry / utility area for coats, boots & waterproofs
🚿 Outdoor shower for the brave (ideal after a cold plunge in the bay!)

'The Old Store'

What truly makes this cottage a standout stay is the adjoining out-space, affectionately called 'The Old Store':

🪟 Floor-to-ceiling bifold doors with incredible views
🃏 Relaxing seating area – perfect for cards, games, or a quiet dram
📺 TV for cosy evenings in (if the view ever gets old!)
🥃 Honesty bar stocked with local gin & whisky
🌧️ Storm-watch in style from this warm, stylish social space

Upstairs, the Wellness Loft offers the ultimate wind-down:

🛁 Freestanding bath
📚 Bean bag sofa & a handpicked selection of books
🧘‍♀️ A perfect spot to breathe, read, and recharge

The Local Area – Waternish

Waternish is more than just a beautiful backdrop—it’s home to some of Skye’s finest flavours and experiences:

🌟 Michelin-starred 'Loch Bay' – just down the road in Stein
🍽️ The world-famous 'The Three Chimneys' – only 20 minutes away
🌅 Incredible sunsets & unbeatable stargazing – right from the cottage
🏞️ Local art galleries, scenic trails & Skye’s wild beauty all around
