About this property

Raven Cottage in the beautiful Glen Eynort near carbost. 3 bedrooms, 6 people.

Raven Cottage features a lounge with a woodburning stove for cosy nights in. There is a TV and a DVD player well stocked with DVD's for your enjoyment. We have super fast Starlink satellite Wi-Fi with download speeds of about 200mbps. The kitchen/dining room is modern with all conveniences, including a dishwasher and seats six comfortably.
There is a large utility/cloak room with washing machine and tumble dryer and further inner cloakroom/store for all the things you never know where to put.

On the ground level there are two bedrooms; one double and one bunk room with full size beds sharing a bathroom (bath and overhead shower).

Upstairs, accessed by an Italian beech spiral staircase, is the master bedroom with king size bed and en suite shower room. There is also a reading and games area with table football.

Outside is a large fully enclosed garden for children to play and explore (being aware of the stream mentioned below) and for all to enjoy the magnificent mountain scenery and the local wildlife (including ravens, buzzards, owls, bats, golden and sea eagles and occasionally otters and pine martens). The Allt nam Fitheach stream marks the easterly boundary of the garden and can be enjoyed from the overhanging decking. There is a shed that houses garden chairs etc and has space to store bikes etc. Glenbrittle Forest is across from the stream and offers excellent walking and cycling with magnificent views of the Cuillins. There is also a sea kayak put in point less than 2km from the cottage. It’s only about a 10 minute drive to Carbost with local amenities (shop, pub, distillery, cafes etc) and a 15 minute drive (depending on number of camper vans) to the Slig and Fairy pools for trips into the Cuillins.

Absolutely loved the setting and the cottage. Short drive to many wonderful sites and villages, but remote enough to give me the peace and quiet I was looking for.

Very quiet location but quite a distance from amenities. You definitely cannot walk to town for a few items. The yard was beautiful but we were not there long enough to really enjoy it.

Great stay on raven cottage!

What a great place to stay for your visit to the magical land of Skye. We loved the location, just far enough off the beaten path but not too far once you learn the island. Absolutely recommend Raven Cottage and visiting the Isle of Skye!

Wonderful place to relax!

Everything about Raven Cottage was perfect for hiding away to celebrate our Anniversary. Far enough from the local village to be quiet and relaxing, but still a reasonable driving distance to get supplies or sightsee. Stephen has a lovely list of walking/hiking trails handy, if you want to be out in the countryside. The brook and the garden behind the cottage make a wonderful place to enjoy staying close to home, as it were. Communicating with Stephen was great. He always responded very quickly. He clearly wanted us to have an excellent visit.Kitchen is well equipped. Plenty of space for a family. Beautiful view of the night sky through the upstairs dormer window. We wish we could have stayed longer and will absolutely choose Raven Cottage again for our next trip to Skye!

Long Weekend Exploring Skye

Nice remote quaint cabin if that is what you are looking for. Beautiful drive into the cabin past the Cuillin mountains. Although remote close to small co-op in Carbost as well as nice restaurant options. Hiking available from the cabin. Just over an hour drive to Uig about 30 to Portree and less than an hour to Skye bridge at Kyle of Lochalsh( I was driving slower than most ( not familiar with roads or driving on the left). Close to Talisker and Fairy Pools. Nice windows upstairs for star gazing if you catch a clear sky. Improvements would be detailed cleaning of bathrooms and a little updating. The 6PM check in we received was a bit unusual also.

Quiet and peaceful

Location is excellent and we enjoyed our stay in a quiet and peaceful part of Skye. The property was absolutely spotlessly clean. The kitchen was well stocked with cutlery, crockery and utensils. There was also ample firewood available. The garden is gorgeous and the surrounding views are very pretty. There's a couple of good local walks for stretching off after supper. Minor gripes... satellite TV didn't work, master bed mattress was a little uncomfortable and the batteries were dead in a couple of the TV/DVD remotes.

Our Scotland tour

We stayed at Raven Cottage for four nights as we enjoyed the Isle of Skye during our three week trip through Scotland. The cottage was nice and clean however while we were there, Scotland was experiencing a heat wave and we had to open the windows. They were a bit spidery snd could have used a good cleaning. We were a little disappointed in the deck overlooking the water. The chairs provided were rusted and broken which didnt allow us to enjoy the outdoor space. We did love the kitchen snd laundry. It had everything we needed.

Ein Ort zum Abschalten und voller Hilfsbereitschaft.

Wir haben uns bewußt für einen Schottlandurlaub im Winter entschieden. Ein Ort zum Abschalten und herunterkommen und ganz viel Natur fernab des Massentourismus, vor allem zu der Jahreszeit. Das Haus ist auch für uns 5-köpfige Familie recht geräumig und, einmal hochgeheizt, angenehm warm und gemütlich. Auch wenn es nicht das modernste Heim ist, so haben wir uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt. Wer einen Luxusplast sucht, ist hier falsch. Der fehlende Handyempfang und das doch sehr langsame Internet waren selbst für unsere Kinder kein Grund zum Maulen.Das Wetter ist kalt und mitunter raus gewesen, aber was anderes haben wir auch nicht erwartet. Umso mehr haben wir uns doch über die Momente gefreut, in denen der Himmel aufgezogen ist und die Sonne durchkam. Tagesausflüge zu den Fairy Pools, Old Man of Storr oder aber auch einfach in die nächste Bucht an den Strand waren einfach nur traumhaft und hatten bei jedem Wetter seinen ganz besonderen Reiz. Die nächste große Einkaufsmöglichkeit in Portree haben wir stets mit Ausflügen verbunden.Ein besonderes Erlebnis hatten wir am Ende unseres Aufenthalts, als wir unterwegs mit dem Auto liegen geblieben sind. Der Eigentümer von Raven Cottage hat uns einen sehr hilfsbereiten Nachbarn zu Hilfe geschickt, dank dessen Hilfe wir unseren Urlaub entspannt beenden konnten. Dafür gebührt unser innigster Dank und wir hatten die Chance auch noch etwas mehr von den Menschen kennenzulernen. Die Isle of Skye hat uns in ihren Bann gezogen.

About the host

Why they chose this property

Although only 10 minutes from Carbost, Raven Cottage and Eynort is a world away from rush of modern life. This is a real escape into the peace and quiet that most people can only dream of elsewhere in the UK.

What makes this property unique

Walking, biking, kayaking, eagle and general wildlife spotting, history going back over 1000 years, even some summer river swimming, all direct from the cottage. Peaceful even compared to the rest of Skye, but with excellent for those occasional rainy days.
