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

If you're wanting to experience the BEST of private accommodations on the Isle of Skye, look no further! This space is phenomenal! Sunsets over your private view of Lochbay (summertime at least), beautiful fixtures from the 'Old Store' to the living spaces, well appointed throughout. The home was cozy and welcoming from our arrival and made it extremely difficult to leave at our week's end. We were roughly less than an hour from all of the Isle's attractions in the north. The kitchen is well fitted and user friendly. We had our little rescue dog with us, and he loved the fenced in yard that allowed him to explore the area, while we sat enjoying each other's company and varied tipples. Even the path down to the 'private' Lochbay was wonderful allowing us to wild swim on our own. While we didn't use them the space has an incredible DVD collection, and games provided if the weather tends to be a bit TOO Skye at times. A washing machine (that also has a decent Drier function), so for those wetter days, it's nice to have a quick dry for the next day's adventures.

The host is not only a great communicator, quick to respond, but is very personable and lovely.The cottage is fairy book caliber. Charming but spacious. Beautifully decorated and well appointed.The “Old Store” is a special place attached to the main house with its own entrance. Here you can enjoy a cocktail and watch the most incredible nature taking place. The sunsets are beautiful. So peaceful. Only the cows and sheep coming by. We were here for 5 nights and I was sad to leave. One can see the love that the owners put into this rental. I would definitely come back again!
