    We loved the out of the way nature of the house, exactly what we wanted to get away from town, it was a short walk to the sea, and a long walk along the coast.

Hello, my name is Catherine. The cottage was built by my grandfather for his family in the 1940s. He had been a fisherman who owned his own boat, SY 424. My husband Ian and I have renovated the cottage to a high standard and hope you relax and enjoy your stay. We have a No Pet Policy in the cottage. I enjoy sewing and made all the curtains and cushions myself, mostly from Harris Tweed. I am available at any time for advice or assistance.
