Oystercatchers Self Catering Holiday Cottage

This is where to come for peace and quiet ... and to go kayaking, sailing, bird-watching, hill walki
(2)

Oystercatchers is a traditional 1 ½ storey house located on a tidal inlet overlooking the Ardnish Peninsula towards Broadford Bay. It is a perfect place to launch kayaks, canoes or dinghies, or to bird watch. There is substantial land outwith the stock fence, where you can enjoy a bayside fire or simply take in the view. Built in 1902, the house has been recently refurbished to a high standard – w

ith a modern heating system, individually controlled in each room, a wood burning stove, 2 bath/shower rooms, high speed wireless Internet access and new white goods. The cottage is accessed down a private road, so is very quiet, and low light pollution makes the area ideal for star-gazing.

Q: Why do you only offer stays of at least 4 days?
A: Skye is a beautiful island, with so much more to see and do than just tear round the "honey trap" destinations. You need to slow down to Skye time and visit lesser-known areas - when you book your holiday, I can suggest some to you that avoid the crowds "doing" the Fairy Pools, the Storr and Neist Point. Very occcasionally we accept 3 day bookings - but not if you are going to try to book Monday to Thursday or Tuesday to Friday as we cannot then get any other bookings for that week. I am not yet cynical enough to offer you 3 nights for the price of 4 to make up for lost trade....

08/05/2024

Well, weirdly it is time to ask our regulars to start thinking about booking for 2025! I have already taken 3 firm bookings and I know of another 2 in the pipleine. We will be putting our prices up next year as we manage dto hold them this year, but have run out of wriggle room.
Our current licence is valid until April 2026 so no concerns there.

I also thought I' d mention why we have a normal 4 night minimum. A number of reasons: firstly, you need at least this long if you are going to see more of Skye that the tourist "honey spots"; secondly, my housekeeper works full time so frankly we cannot accept shorter bookings as I lose a day during the week to allow time for her to clean after work (htis also means I am very reluctant to accept bookings that start or end in the middle of a week - I can lose the whole week on either side for one 3 day booking; thirdly - cost - it simply is not economically feasible for us to accept short stays. So please do not be offended if I say we do not take very short stays. Come to SKye - and stay long enough to do it justice!!!!

You could be watching the moon like this at the end of August, in mid September or early October at Oystercatchers Cottae on Skye. visit http://bit.ly/2uHSFyy and book direct

With lots of jobs that badly need doing - from decorating, to building a more robust kayak shelter, to rebuidling the wall by the driveway that someone clearly damaged their car on - we are fortunate in either having built up sufficeint leave (me) or being able to work from home, wherever that may be (he), so we have been up here for a week already - with three more to go before I, at least, have to be back at work. We have made ourselves particularly comfortable with new beds in the upstairs twin room and a new mattress in the double (downstairs will have to wait until next Autumn for a similar upgrade). We have also repalced some of the pillows on all the twin beds so we are as snug as can be. The weather has been kind after the first couple of days of heavy rain, which has clearly been the default here throughout November/early December, so we have been able to get out kayaking in flat calm, albeit very dark evenings (anything after about 4.30 pm.) This has also allowed us to do a fair amount of outside work, including refurbishing the bird feeders - immedately swamped by 25+ goldfinches! The moon is full tonght and the skies currently clear so although viewing any Northern Lights are therefore unlikely, the moon rising was quite spectacular, and we have stoked the wood burner ready for the expected drop in temperature.

We are missing this place so much - so sad to have to have it sitting empty while they struggle to get the virus under control. Fingers crossed we will be able to go back there soon ... and that some of you may also be able to visit
