Soak in your hot tub and gaze out across your magnificent island and Highland surroundings. Sleeping just two guests, your romantic Island retreat is a unique holiday haven. Set in magical tranquillity, the enchanting, self-contained accommodation comprises the ground floor of one of the only two buildings on the island. Wave goodbye to your car on the mainland and enter a world that is almost your very own.

 

The single-storey accommodation has been arranged to ensure you return to complete comfort after a day out exploring this corner of Scotland. Enjoy the magnificent scenery from the warmth of your bijou holiday home. Put your feet up and simply relax within its homely living space.

 

Enjoy the novelty of being met by the owner, who will take your luggage over to your holiday home. Follow the winding wooden path, cross the floating bridge and enter your special apartment. Discover the atmospheric lounge/diner, where you can watch TV and chat about your exciting holiday.

What a special place and such a fantastic location. Thanks to Ian and Jess for being so welcoming and helping out when I needed some medical attention. The cottage was comfortable but would benefit from some updating.

Idyllic location for anyone wanting peace in beautiful surroundings. Amazing wildlife and a great local pub nearby. You need to be reasonably fit to access the island though.

Ian, Jess and family inc Dubh were really welcoming and helpful, the cure house we stayed in was comfortable, we can't fault the place. The views and area were great and peaceful. If you want to get away from the rat race then this is for you, we are looking forward to coming back.

What a lovely cottage and a truly wonderful experience from start to finish. Staying on Dry Island is a super experience all round. It is peaceful, quiet and has a million dollar view. Be aware that there is a short climb up / down to the island so you need to be fit enough to do this. There are plenty of places to visit and lots to do within easy Read morereach. Ian and Jess were so helpful and kind throughout our stay. Hide

Idyllic location for a nice relaxing holiday. The views from the patio and hot tub are stunning. Bed and sofa both comfortable. The magical walk down the winding path to the floating bridge is anything but magical, it is 60 uneven steps to an uneven concrete path which then leads to the floating bridge. A ten minute walk which is hard with luggage Read moreor shopping, bear this in mind before you book its not an easy climb. Hide

The cottage was in a lovely position on Dry Island with fabulous views but we hadnt realised our outside area was not exclusively ours as Shellfish Safari customers met in this same area.

The cottage is comfortable and had everything I needed and plenty I didnt even know I needed. If you are going to complain about noise/footsteps above you from time to time then dont go. In that respect it is the same as being in a hotel. Ian and his family did there utmost to make our stay enjoyable.
