A remote cottage on the Scottish island of Raasay, the highest dwelling on the island, is available to book on Airbnb for a peaceful getaway. The property sleeps up to five guests across three rooms and offers views over the Isle of Skye.
Island Location and Accommodation
Raasay lies between the Scottish mainland and the Isle of Skye. The cottage features a king-size bedroom and a twin bedroom upstairs, with an additional sofa bed in the living room. The living room includes a wood-burner with firewood provided, while the kitchen is described as cosy and well-equipped.
A sunroom offers views out over Skye from the Cuillin Hills to the Trotternish peninsula. There is a shower and utility room downstairs, a bathroom upstairs, and outside a terrace and grassy area. A five-night stay can currently be booked for as little as £740.
Access and Local Amenities
Raasay is reached by ferry from the Isle of Skye, with regular services. The Airbnb listing notes the drive to the cottage is “steep” and advises visitors to check ferry times beforehand. The island has a local shop and post office stocking produce, meat, and more.
Guest Review
One recent guest wrote: “Toby is a wonderful host, and his cottage on Raasay is really a must-stay if you can swing it. The setting is wonderfully secluded and serene, just what we needed for a bit of a recharge. Inside, the cottage is well appointed and wonderfully comfortable—we had everything we could have possibly needed including books and board games!
“The road up wasn’t too terrible to pass either, but make sure your vehicle is up for a few steep paths if you’re making the trip. Again, you’re not likely to find such a great combination of unique setting, comfortable home, and really proactive host as this, so be sure to book here if you can!”
