Achateny Cottage
Words don’t do this cottage justice, but the photos speak for themselves. Originally the Stockman’s cottage for Achateny farm, with a humble one-room bothy on the end where the shepherd lived. The views towards the islands of Eigg, Rum and Skye are anything but humble however.
Soak in the magnificent sunsets from the sun porch as the deer make their way to the coast to graze – you’ll find their hoofprints on the beach in the morning, alongside the tracks of otters and the prints of seabirds. This beach’s white sands, some of the most beautiful on the Peninsula, are only a short walk away.
Achateny cottage has one double room, one twin, one room with bunk-beds and two bathrooms. The kitchen has cooker, microwave, fridge with freezing compartment, washing machine and dishwasher.
