Welcome to Otterburn Cottage!

Otterburn Cottage is a new build two bedroom cottage situated in the peaceful crofting township of Lower Breakish at the south end of the island. You can travel here over the Skye bridge or take a trip on the ferry from Mallaig to Armadale, Sleat.

The cottage is situated approximately 50 yards from the water's edge with stunning views of the islands of Raasay and Pabay and across Broadford Bay and the inner sound.

Fabulous sunsets can be viewed on summer nights and you may be lucky to spot an otter in the early hours or the heron waiting for his breakfast as the tide comes in.

Facilities include one double room with a king size bed and ensuite shower room, one twin bedded room, a bathroom with bath and shower.

The cottage is named after the family of otters that can occasionally be seen in the sea nearby or the burn (stream) outside the house.

Activities

The cottage is an ideal base for exploring both Skye and Wester Ross. There are many activities to try including hill walking, climbing, canoeing, kayaking, fishing and cycling. For the less energetic take a stroll along the beautiful, unspoilt Ashaig beach (only 200 yards from the cottage) and look out for seals, herons, oyster-catchers and other shore birds.
