Welcome
Woodburn Cottage is situated in Waternish amidst some of the most beautiful and unspoilt scenery on the Isle of Skye. The cottage sleeps up to four people with one double room and one twin room.
All fuel and electricity is included in the price and there is free internet access available in the property.
Waternish is a popular holiday destination and this area is famous for its stunning sunsets,
magnificent seascapes and pretty unspoilt hamlets, all untouched by time.
In the nearby traditional fishing village of Stein there are local crafts,
an excellent seafood restaurant, a friendly village pub, the oldest on Skye
and full of character, which also serves food.
Dunvegan with its famous castle also offers good
dining out facilities and lively pubs a few miles away.
From the house itself there are spectacular views over Loch Dunvegan to Dunvegan Head
and across The Minch to the hills of the Outer Hebrides.
The surrounding countryside is a haven for wildlife and is a birdwatchers paradise. A recorded site for Corncrakes is directly opposite the cottage and the sea eagles at Waternish are two of only forty-two pairs in Scotland. Golden eagles are also in the area and local buzzards soar overhead.
There's a wealth of activities on the doorstep, hill walking, climbing, sailing,
cycling and nature trails are all regular pastimes.
The local riding stables offer superb pony trekking over open moors and hills
for beginners and experienced riders.
There is even a local diving centre based in Stein which offers professional diving
trips to explore various shipwrecks and the crystal clear waters teaming with marine life.
Cycling and forest walks abound. Enjoy a bike ride direct from the cottage through
pretty forest tracks to the nearby Greshornish hotel for lunch.
There are four mountain bikes provided free for guests to use.
