Welcome to the Black Tin Bothy. Our warm and comfortable bothy offers stunning views over Broadford Bay and is the perfect place to explore Skye.

Fresh air, huge skies, mountains and the sea await you, plus the chance to see seals, herons and even the odd otter!

From here, you can explore the whole island as well as being close to Skye’s second biggest village, Broadford, with numerous cafes, restaurants and shops. The shore and mountains are right on our doorstep too.

The space
Our open-plan studio includes a relaxing sleeping area, a well-equipped kitchen, and a comfortable lounge space positioned to make the most of the outlook.

The bathroom is modern and practical, with a good shower and plenty of hot water after a day outdoors.

Everything has been designed to feel cosy without being cramped, and functional without losing character.

The cherry on the cake is our log fire, ready to keep you toasty and to make your stay truly memorable.

Guest access
You have full access to the cabin and the walled area it sits in. The wall is a very old dry stone wall that dates back to the 1800s. There are two hand-made wooden chairs outside to sit and enjoy the view if the mood takes you, these were made here on Skye and are very comfortable.

We have a large driveway where you can park for free, off the road.
