The Keepers' Cottages
Built
at the same time as the tower, these buildings are the original homes
of the lighthouse keepers and their families. After falling into a
state of disrepair in the years since automation thay have now been
fully restored. The cottages now offer a unique 'lifestyle'
experience for the self-catering visitor.
Available for rent throughout the year, the cottages are superbly furnished and with full 'total control' heating are warm and comfortable even in the wildest of weather.
Both cottages sleep 6 people and have microwave, washer, cot, high chair, TV and video.
The panoramic views of the Hebrides are unsurpassed and the surrounding area abounds in wildlife. Otters, seals, porpoises and Minke whales are regularly seen in the seas below the cottages. While the skies overhead are frequented by a huge variety of birdlife, including golden and sea eagles. Both Red and Roe deer graze nearby and pine martens and wildcats have been spotted by recent visitors to the cottages.
Nearby, the beaches at Sanna and Portuairk offer beautiful white sands and safe bathing in the crystal clear waters of the Minch.
Hotel, shop and post office are all within 20 minute drive.
