3 Days in Stein
We loved our time at the Beachcomber Cottage. It was perfect for our group of 4. The views from the property were wonderful and it was a great place for exploring Skye.

A great cosy cottage in a beautiful location and only a few meters from a great pub The Stein Inn. The cottage was clean, easy to check in and had everything you’d need, even a fireplace. Would love to stay again.

Perfect cottage
We had the best time at this cottage! It is adorable, comfortable, and in the perfect location. It was myself, and my three adult children, and it was the perfect location to call home while exploring Skye.

Lovely Cottage in a Superb Location
Beachcomber cottage is a charming and very well appointed accommodation within doors of 2 of the best restaurants Skye has to offer. The place was spotless, warm and very comfortable and the Waternish Peninsula area is both beautiful and a little less well trafficked part of the island. We would highly recommend both.

Perfect stay!
Beautiful cottage set right on the shore equipped with everything you could need for a perfect stay on Skye! We chose this beautiful place for a base to explore Neist, Storr, Quiraing and more as it was ideally located with most places 35-45 minutes away. Portree is also around a 30 minutes drive. The cottage itself was cosy, warm and spacious enough for 4 adults. The lounge and fireplace was welcomed after hiking around the island all day. We would highly recommend this place and would 100% stay again!

Beachcomber Cottage
Quaint cottage directly on the Loch Bay. Clean and comfortable. Garden with seating and table. Stone beach with water access. Found many pieces of colorful pottery and glassware! There are two restaurants, one is Loch Bay which is Michelin awarded. Weeks wait to get a reservation. The other is Stein. Reservations suggested. No other food, so stop at a Co-O prior to arriving!

Friends and I stayed at the Beachcomber for 3 nights of a 2 week trip in Scotland. Honestly, I would have been happy to spend the whole 2 weeks here. The stay was one of the highlights of the trip with the charming location, local history, surprising restaurant choices from historic inn to Michelin Star and gift shop with items by local artists. The cottage was over the top charming as well, with equipped kitchen, lots of info on surrounding area, clean, comfortable, can't say enough good things. I will happily return if possible!

Stein stay
Absolutely loved the cottage and location. When the weather turned quite cool, the lounge room heating wasn’t operating at all so we replied to their welcome email with two messages for help. Received no reply. Everything else was wonderful.

Lovely Fishing Cottage
This cottage was very well set-up, for us- great heat (we were there in Feb.), well-equipped, nice furnishings, and overall very comfy. We enjoyed the coal fire in the living room very much! The location is wonderful, just across the little road from the loch, and also it was very quiet. We would have appreciated a notebook of instructions in addition to or instead of the video set-up, which was NOT so convenient for looking up answers to questions, (and also totally puzzling to us at the beginning), and we never did figure out the tv. Nevertheless, we would happily go back!

Wonderful cottage in a picturesque peaceful setting on the water with a storybook view
This is a great VRBO! The cottage is set within a row of traditional fishermen’s cottages. The historical old cottages, although outfitted with modern amenities, provide a perfect backdrop for the serene picture perfect setting. The sunsets here are truly breathtaking and just being here makes you exhale all stress. The private gated garden which goes to the waterfront is wonderful too. A wonderful surprise is being next door to a Michelin star restaurant (also residing in one of the fisherman’s cottages). We were lucky to be able to eat here (get reservations in advance..Loch Bay). The food was perfectly prepared and presented in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Also a couple doors down in another of the fisherman’s cottages is the Stein Inn which has the oldest pub in Skye with a great traditional pub atmosphere and good food/drink. The host, Cat, was great! We had one small issue at check-in but Cat was quick to respond and we were grateful! We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer!

A nice place, but...
The property is very well kept, well-appointed dishes and appliances, bathroom is nice, bedrooms are nice. But this note is particularly for Americans traveling in summer: The house has no A/C nor does it have any fans. This is not an issue in other seasons, but if you catch a summer that is warmer than usual (increasingly frequent in Scotland now), then it could be an issue. House owners there have not yet adapted to this fact, so this means almost no place has A/C or fans to assist with air movement. Bring your own portable battery powered fan. Secondly, the village of Stein is very remote by most American standards. Be prepared to navigate single track roads to get there, and bring in food at least for breakfast: there are 2 restaurants in Stein, but no store. Closest stores are in Portree or Dunvegan. It's a beautiful place and we enjoyed our time there; we just needed a fan...

Highly recommended
A lovely cottage in an excellent location.. Beautiful views of the shore( telescope provided). We were part of a terrace of traditional cottages alongside a pub, a craft shop/ gallery and a restaurant and there were lots of divers coming and going - so plenty going on. The kitchen was well designed and very well equipped . There was no file in the cottage to explain where things wwere. Because of this, we didn't discover the lovely garden across the road until our last day. And we spent some time searching for oven gloves andall of which were there, but that is the only quibble.AThe cottage was very well equipped and avbeautiful0place to return to after enjoying the wonderful landscapes of tSkyye. Mary An ideal place for people who want to be in beautiful surroundings? I really liked the decor And there are some beautiful pictures on the walls.
