An Cala Beag Self Catering apartment on The Waternish Peninsula
An Cala Beag (The Little Haven) is a ground floor self-catering apartment for two adults in a stunning location, tucked away off the road, attached to the main house but with its own separate entrance on the beautiful Waternish peninsula, Isle of Skye. It has spectacular views from the large picture window across to the beautiful islands of Clett, Mingay and Isay in Lochbay and across the Minch to the Outer Hebrides. It is also the perfect vantage point for watching the majestic white tailed and golden eagles and porpoises in the bay.
Waternish has been designated a Dark Sky location; it is renowned for its sunsets, clear skies and if you are lucky the Aurora Borealis. Also perfect for wildlife and bird lovers, photography, walking, cycling and wildlife cruises. Within close driving distance of art galleries and the 5 star Tannery, Skyeskyns.
The apartment is very cosy; has an open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area. There is a separate bedroom with an en-suite shower room.
The lounge area has two comfy leather chairs, a flame effect electric fire, flat screen TV with FreeSat, & DVD player. Books, films, magazines, maps and games are at hand if you tire of the ever changing “picture” outside.

The separate bedroom has a brand new pocket sprung memory foam bed, feather and down king size duvet (non-allergic) and pillows. Together with the 300 thread count cotton bedding this should ensure a great night’s sleep

This was more than i hoped for, a perfect stay. Nice clean interior, well organized, eye for detail, lovely peaceful surroundings. Very kind hostesses.
This was the perfect spot for our exploration of Isle of Skye. The cottage was exactly as pictured, the bed comfortable, the view impeccable,and the hosts lovely. They met us on arrival to show us some things in the house and gave us fresh bed an homemade jam. They were very responsive to questions. We could not have asked for a better stay and I hope we can return some day!
Hilary and Michael made us feel very welcome. They baked bread and delicious shortbreads and sweetened up our stay with Homs made jam and Scottish tablet. This cosy house has a fantastic view and is a perfect base to explore Skye. Thanks very much Hilary and Michael!
We just loved our stay here. Booked on the basis of the beautiful pictures - stunned to find it was even more beautiful. The unit is perfect for a couple. Well set up kitchen, extremely comfortable bed… did I mention the view?!
Great base for many walks locally and across the island, can’t rate it highly enough. And the hosts were welcoming, helpful and discreet. Genuinely hope we have the chance to return.
