A tiny home offering a wonderfully cosy and welcoming retreat for 1 or 2.
After a day exploring the Isle of Skye, a hot shower awaits, then relax by the woodburner or firepit and share a glass or two before snuggling down in the super comfy 5ft kingsize bed (US queen).

Set in a quiet crofting township on the shores of the sea loch, Loch Snizort Beag.

The space
Seathrift is an 18ft traditional, wriggly tin shepherd's hut.

It sits next to our cottage with its own outdoor area, and parking right next to it. (space for 1 car or small van)

Kitchen with combination microwave/oven/grill/air fryer and 2 ring hob. Fridge and separate freezer. Nespresso Original coffee machine.

Compact ensuite shower room:70cm/27.5" wide. Maximum shower head setting height 190cm/6'3"

Welcome pack and a starter supply of kindling/firelighters/firewood - (additional supplies can be purchased from us for £10)

Electric heater.

All bedlinen and towels are provided.

Storage space under the bed for bags. Wall hooks provide some hanging storage.

Seathrift is a self catering property but we do provide a welcome pack that contains coffee (Nespresso original pods & ground coffee bags), tea, sugar, milk, orange juice, hot chocolate and some snacks.

We live in a former croft house and are surrounded by croftland, leading down to the shore of Loch Snizort Beag, with beautiful views across to The Storr and Hartaval on the Trotternish Ridge. You're very welcome to wander down to the shore and can even bring a fishing rod if you like. We are near the end of a no-through road, so it's very peaceful indeed.

Guest access
Seathrift is self contained with its own garden area and firepit, a parking space next to it, and a small shed which holds a bbq and a few other items for your use.

We'll be around if you need us but otherwise we'll respect your privacy

Other things to note
There is no facility for EV charging at Seathrift and outlets within the hut may not be used for this purpose.

Wifi is a little slow in our cottage and in the hut (TV may buffer and uploading large photos/files, and video calls may be difficult)
You can usually pick up 4G nearby.

TV is available via your own (Netflix etc) logins.

Nearest: Restaurant 3 miles/4.8 km, Pub 5 miles/8 km, Shop 9 miles/14.5km

We have 2 dogs and 2 cats. The dogs (Midge and Jess are friendly Border Collies and love to bark hello!) But unless you invite them to join you around the firepit, they are restricted to another area of the garden. The cats go where they like, but please don’t let them in the hut

Suitability for children: there are open steps to the hut and no fireguard around the woodburner, so these are hazards to consider if bringing a child. We also strongly recommend not using the woodburner if you do bring a child, and just using the electric heaters.

There is no space to accommodate a cot.

Neighbourhood highlights

We live in a quiet crofting township (Crofting is a system of small scale agricultural landholding, which is unique to Scotland, and is an integral part of life in the Highlands & Islands.) We are surrounded by croftland with sheep and cattle. All with beautiful views across Loch Snizort Beag. Easy to access but far enough from the main road to ensure peace.
