Breakish House | The Cottar; an ancestral & traditional house just 2m from the sea.

1 Bedroom House in Breakish, Dunan

The Cottar is a former 200 year old fisherman's cottage, being part of the nearby, now disused, Herring Station which is currently being lovingly restored by myself, located just five minutes' stroll in a southerly direction along the shore.
The Cottar was originally a 'black house', "tigh dubh" in Gaelic. Again, following the ancient method of construction, The Cottar has no rear wall, being built into a cliff face.
The front of The Cottar is served by a broad, long terrace along the shore, providing a seating and dining area with panoramic views up and down the Loch na Cairaidh.
There is an abundancy of wildlife on display, seals, otters, porpoises, dolphins, and too many birds to mention.
The interior of The Cottar, as befits a two hundred year old cottage, is furnished entirely with original 19th Century furniture. If you expect enveloping, suffocating, marshmallow suites, The Cottar is not the place for you.
All the pictures and artifacts, some are museum pieces, are chosen for their relation to the sea and working the land. I would like to think I am helping my guests understand and be immersed in the culture of the island and it's peoples.
Please note, the bed is an 1830's Scottish galleried sleigh bed, known as a Scottish three-quarter, being some 4'6"x6' (137cm x 183cm).
In addition, there is a metamorphic chaise longue available too.
Should you wish, I can provide a cultural tour; an amble around an original Viking Settlement, with examples of Pictish foundations upon which subsequent buildings were positioned.

Summary: What an incredible experience staying at the Cottar. Our host Eion was fantastic and gave us great recommendations while we were on Skye. The place is beautiful and the history behind it is truly once in a lifetime.

Dan E. Jul 3, 2025 11:58:10 PM

Summary: The Cottar is beautiful and rich with history. It’s very comfortable and is right on the water, in a great location. If you want a place with true character and ties to Skye, this is the place for you. Eoin the host is a really nice guy and very knowledgeable, highly recommend having a chat with him. Overall one of the best places I’ve ever stayed for accommodation.

Debra May 18, 2025 09:06:50 PM

Summary: Eoin was a wonderful owner. He met us up the road and took us to his rental. He gave us a lot of history information about the area. He was a joy to talk with. Great place to stay!

Laci T. Oct 25, 2024 09:57:05 AM

Summary: The owner met us there and had the fire going. He was very nice and gave us a lot of pointers on where to go and what to see, not your typical tourist attractions. We were there for a few nights for our honeymoon and he had a little surprise waiting for us when we got there. If your looking for a quiet cool little place to stay I would highly recommend staying here. Our only negative was the bed was a little small for someone who is a bit taller.

Pam P. Sep 26, 2024 05:27:52 PM

Summary: We loved this cottage! The location is great, great area of Isle of Skye, and the view can’t be beat. Kitchen was well furnished for cooking. Host was very pleasant to communicate with!

kellie Sep 23, 2024 07:33:42 PM

AJ Sep 20, 2024 07:36:08 PM

Summary: The Cottar is a cute, quirky and relaxing place to stay. The view is out of this world and the area is very quiet. There is a Co op and petrol station only 8 minutes away. We were greeted with a lovely bottle of wine and a package of Scottish Fudge. Eoin our host was lovely and we were able to meet him during our stay. We had some troubles with app communication, but email worked very well.

Derek P. Sep 8, 2024 10:14:24 PM

Summary: Very enjoyable stay, Eoin was very helpful on arrival and after. Had some great recommendations for things to do. I did a couple of them. Nice place to just get away from everything but with Broadford an easy 10 minute drive away to get a meal out. The interior decor was very interesting. Nothing on Skye seemed to be much more than an hour or so away, would maybe have been longer if kids were out of school. Bed was extremely comfortable.

Graham P. Aug 29, 2024 02:54:26 AM

Summary: Kick your boots off, put the kettle on, and put another log on the fire. This cottar is amazing if you’re looking to relax with a real fire and the most spectacular views. You get a glimpse of our host Eoin’s family in the way the property has been decorated. This place is a testament to an amazing man, that we have had the pleasure to meet. We will return. Slainte Eoin.

Summary: Amazing cosy cabin on the lake. Host was very welcoming and gave us great tips for some amazing scenery.
