I am taking winter bookings now, The island is much quieter during the winter months and the scenery is fantastic , the light makes photos amazing. plenty of stunning waterfalls and more chances to see the wildlife and eagles, the skies are my past time in the winter with the Northern lights and the amazing starie skies. No light polution makes all the difference. The northern lights can be seen from the cottage door and are definetly worth seeing. if you are looking for a nice peaceful break then don't hesitate to get in touch, I am open all winter.

In the small secluded township of Waterstein in the most westerly point on Skye lies Kelpie cottage.This delightful cottage was beautifully converted in 2009 to offer spacious accomodation of the highest quality for couples. The cottage is surrounded by mature ,well kept gardens for you to enjoy.It overlooks Loch Mor and is within walking distance of Neist Point Lighthouse, 2miles from the Red Roof Cafe and 7 miles from the famous Three Chimneys Restaurant. this location is one of many all inspiring parts of Skye,with the magnificent sea cliffs overlooking the outer isles, and its beautiful sunsets,golden eagles and sea eagles, whales, basking sharks,dolphins, otters, deer and so much more, this is the perfect place to get away from it all, to experience the magic of Eilean a Cheo, THE MISTY ISLE.

The Kelpie or Each Uisge (water horse) is a mythical creature that inhabits various Lochs and streams in the Highlands. Loch Mor claims to be home to one such creature. A close encounter is thankfully unlikely; more likely is an encounter with one of the many creatures that share his domain. Golden Eagles, Sea Eagles, Otters, Foxes and more recently Red Deer have all made this their home. The spectacular sea cliffs make the perfect vantage point to spot Mink Whales, Basking Sharks, Porpoise, Dolphins, Seals and the varied groups of Sea Birds.a perfect retreat for bird watchers
