Welcome to Wildlife Croft Skye

A nature-filled croft we are managing for biodiversity, food, fuel and fibre.

Guests can stay on the croft in our spacious and secluded, light-filled, one-bedroom accommodation – Stonechat Bothy

We offer short breaks with guests arriving on Fridays for 3 nights, or Mondays for 4 nights.

You can also stay for seven nights, or longer, to fully explore the island at a relaxed pace.  Our arrival and departure days are Monday and Fridays.

We have firewood, sourced from our trees to keep you warm, along with underfloor heating, and cosy blankets. There is a fire pit outside for guests to enjoy the night skies. Stonechat Bothy is perfect for enjoying a peaceful escape with a loved one this year.

 

What our guests are saying

‘A magical place to stay for peace and solitude with all the home comforts for total relaxation. Surrounded by birdsong, stunning scenery and a variety of wonderful walks, it truly is a place to savour’

Welcome in. Unlace your boots, loosen your shoulders and take in the view: pine and birch, heather and wildflowers, moor and mountain. Depths of nothing but Scottish countryside. Step outside and breathe deep; let the light and beauty of the island wash over you. No need to do anything other than simply be. Your time is yours.

A stay on Skye deserves space and serenity, and at Stonechat Bothy you’ll find plenty of both. Surrounded by nature and lined with floor-to-ceiling windows, it’s a place of calm and quiet, an elegant one-bedroom retreat with a modern kitchen and a large, lovingly furnished living area. From local artworks and deep bedding to underfloor heating and a well-stocked log burner – using our own, croft grown firewood – we’ve worked hard to create the perfect home from home.

A secluded outdoor seating area, complete with fire pit, makes a wonderful spot to listen to birdsong over a morning coffee, to enjoy an evening dram while staring out at distant Munros, or to wrap yourself in one of our cosy blankets and gaze up at the twinkling night sky.

The bothy sits within a wildlife-rich croft on the sweepingly handsome Sleat Peninsula. We have the pleasure of looking after this croft to maximise its biodiversity, and continue its provision of food, fuel and fibre.

Our arrival and departure days are Mondays and Fridays, allowing you to stay for three nights, four nights, a week or even longer. We’re hugely proud of the positive feedback we receive from guests – and we very much hope you’ll feel the same about this hidden, unrushed corner of Skye.
