The details

Perched on the edge of the sea in the charming village of Stein, Storytellers at Isay is a truly special coastal escape where sweeping views and soothing sounds of the shoreline set the tone for your stay. With direct access to the water and a peaceful setting between the historic Stein Inn and the acclaimed Lochbay Restaurant, this is a place designed for slow mornings, salty air and fireside evenings with your favourite people.

Inside, the cottage blends rustic charm with thoughtful modern comforts. The open-plan living space is warm and inviting, with a wood-burning stove at its heart, perfect for curling up after a day exploring Skye. Underfloor heating beneath the flagstone floor keeps things cosy, while a smart TV, books and games invite relaxed evenings in. The kitchen is a joy to cook in, featuring a six-hob range oven, American fridge/freezer, Nespresso machine and all you need for sociable dinners, which can be enjoyed around the dedicated dining area or with a drink from the stylish bar, complete with wine fridge.

Sleeping up to six guests across three beautifully appointed bedrooms, the layout is ideal for families or groups of friends. The ground floor hosts a flexible king size bedroom that can be made into twins, alongside a sleek modern shower room. Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts a super-king size bed, stunning coastal views and a luxurious ensuite with both bath and shower. A second twin room sits nearby with access to a convenient WC.

Outside, the experience continues. The large enclosed front garden opens directly onto the shoreline, offering breathtaking views across the water, while the secure back garden provides a private space to unwind or let dogs roam freely. Fire up the BBQ on warmer days or simply sit with a drink and watch the light change over the sea.

Stein itself is steeped in history and perfectly placed for exploring the Isle of Skye. From hiking the dramatic landscapes of the Quiraing and Old Man of Storr to dipping into the Fairy Pools or visiting Dunvegan Castle, adventure is never far away. Enjoy fresh seafood nearby, take a boat trip to spot wildlife or wander the colourful harbour of Portree before returning to your tranquil coastal retreat.
