Situated by historical 'Dun Flashadder', the croft and cottage is only a few hundred metres off the main road, A850. It's a 2 min drive from Edinbane, 15 min from both Portree or Dunvegan and neighbour to well-known Waternish.
*Neist Point Lighthouse (22m) *Talisker Distillery (30m) *Dunvegan Castle (9m) *Portree Town (13m) *The Old Man of Storr *The Quiraing and Trotternish Ridge (30m) *The Cuillin (22m) *Fairy Pools (30m) are all an easy drive from the cottage.
Trips to Elgol, Armadale in Sleat or Plockton on the mainland are all realistic, all being 55 miles away offering great days out.
In the Evening
Dining, pub and live music are available at Edinbane Inn, and Edinbane Lodge which are about 1.5 miles from the cottage, close enough to walk down and get a taxi back.
There’s no need to dash around the island
Perhaps you need a restful break, nesting up together by the fireside with candles to romance the hours away. Enjoy a picnic amongst the flowers on the croft. Sit on the shore below the cottage and watch otters or seals. Sketch, paint, go for a walk, fish from the shore, listen to the birds, watch the sunset, take photos, listen to music, the options are endless. Lie in bed at night and wonder at the stars in our dark skies. You might even be lucky and experience the aurora. Simply take the time to treasure precious moments together. Be still and chill!
More about the cottage
This deceptively spacious cottage has been split into two apartments Ascrib & Shiant. Entirely independent they each have dedicated access, parking and garden seating areas offering privacy to enjoy your holiday. A great idea for those that getaway together but enjoy having some peace and quiet to themselves too.
Shiant Cottage Apartments has a distinctive Highland character and offers an immediate welcome that embraces you with a feeling of home. Peaceful and calm, colourful and cosy, and with the usual modern conveniences, it brings together an eclectic blend of fabulous flowers, local island heritage, and nostalgic memories of childhood freedom. It is a refreshingly inviting holiday apartment.
SHIANT COTTAGE APARTMENT provides accommodation as follows:
Downstairs: 1 Double bedroom, 1 lounge, 1 kitchen/diner, 1 Jacuzzi bath/bathroom, hall and large porch.
Upstairs: 1 Double gallery bedroom.

The upstairs gallery bedroom, a double, is wonderfully romantic, with an inglenook style bed in glorious colours inspired by the landscape. Candles, flowers, and quirky old photos endear this room as a very charming island retreat. Lie at night and enjoy the stars and moon in the skylight window. If you leave the blackout blind open sunrise will greet you with a warm rosy good morning, while the evening sunset engulfs you in a rich golden glow. The kitchen-diner is spacious and with a log-burning stove, dinner table and chairs it invites you to indulge in fine food and wine. Contemporary colours, a fireside armchair and images of Hebridean life make this a living kitchen. Sit by the log burner and read, while the cosy warmth drifts upstairs to add extra heat to the bedroom. The living room has fabulous sea-views whatever the season and weather and is easily enjoyed from the fireside whose log-burning stove invites you to sit back and chill out! It is entirely possible to view the aurora indoors from the fireside if a lucky display happens during your visit. The colours of the Hebrides are brought to this room through the contemporary palette of Isle of Skye Paint Company and the traditional local dye colours of wool tartan soft furnishings. Characterful old island photos bring some insight into our Hebridean heritage. TV, DVD and WiFi are provided to keep you connected. The bathroom has views to the Trotternish Ridge from the Jacuzzi and candles invite you to truly relax after an energetic day out or simply pamper yourself because you deserve it.
Outdoor Gear Storage
The porch is very spacious and great for all your outdoor gear, a couple of bikes and unloading the car.
A Private Decking Ideal for those days between adventures when you simply want to relax. In the evening enjoy the sunset with your favourite tipple or linger longer to enjoy the velvety darkness and starry skies, or if you are lucky, the wonder of the dancing beams of the aurora.
On the shore seals, otters and porpoise are common visitors to this rocky coastline. The route down is rugged but worth the effort. The silence is golden. Take your binoculars, camera, sketch-pad or book and simply escape. It is balm for the soul!
Up on immediately adjacent Dun Flashadder not much remains of this adjacent ancient hillfort except its commanding view, especially at sunset! Its stone circle footprint is clear and the reason for it being chosen as a defence site is evident.
Covid
Covid rules are relaxed but we remain aware and maintain cleaning to the highest standards, with ongoing sanitising of high touch points etc.
