The location of Skye Coorie Cabin is idylic - we have deliberately chosen to sit her next to the water, high enough to watch the world go by from your seat, and low enough to feel part of, and protected by, nature.  The shoreside location is ideal for water activities, bird and nature watching, or as a base from which to explore or see the sights or even climb our many hills and mountains.   You are more than welcome to bring your bikes, kayaks, paddleboards and walking shoes, we are happy for them to be stored here when your aren't using them, and there's the added bonus of launching your water craft straight from the garden gate.

Skye Coorie is found in the wee township of Breakish, one of the first villages an adventurer finds on the Isle of Skye, just 6 miles from the famous Skye Bridge we are located off the main A87, down a single track road and sit right on the shoreside in Lower Breakish.  We are just 3 miles from Broadford, with its supermarket, fuel station, small selection of boutique shops, restaurants, pubs, bus links and hospital. 

Our village sits in a designated Dark Sky location, so is an excellent place in the evening to look up - we often see the aurora, the Milky way and thanks to the dark sky, we can watch the various annual meteor showers too - this comes with a warning though, prolonged star gazing can cause a stiff neck!!

The cabin is not far from the mighty Beinn na Caillich and Blaven mountains, so a short drive to the heart of the Cuillin and other excellent hillwalking adventures.  We are only 23 miles from Portree and all it has to offer, with the ferry ports of Armadale and Uig also only a drive away.  

When the tide is out, the shoreline becomes a mudflat estuary, home to many different species of sea birds like sea eagles, herons, curlews, cormorants and oystercatchers; if you are lucky you might also see otters and the occasional seal family.  

We are situated in a small crofting community, so you will encounter rural animals like sheep and cattle etc, it's important you are respectful of this, no excessive noise, no fireworks and we ask you to leave only footprints.

All we ask is you are aware to stick to footpaths, not go off road and dispose of rubbish and fires responsibly.  The large volume of visitors to Skye every year does take it's toll on the biodiversity leading to verge erosion and path wear and tear for example.  Don't leave gates open and use passing places, try not to park on verges, most of all though, enjoy this incredible place, it really is an island paradise.
