Features
Wifi
We have community broadband with decent speeds.
Dogs
Drumfearn is a crofting township and as our neighbours have livestock, and we have free ranging hens and ducks we don’t allow dogs at Stonechat Bothy.
Things to do
We have books and maps and guidebooks for you to plan your time on the Isle of Skye. Bring your favourite crafts or books. There are warm blankets for stargazing and enjoying the firepit on clear, starry nights. There will be plentiful supply of our homegrown firewood from the trees here on the croft for you to enjoy the log burner. There are jigsaw puzzles and watercolour paints. The big windows are great for just watching the weather. It’s cosy and comfy and the kitchen has everything you need for cooking. Find local seafood when you are exploring the island and bring it back to enjoy.

We live on the croft
We are close by if you need us for anything, but the Bothy is completely secluded so you will have total privacy throughout your stay.
Total peace and privacy
There are no roads, houses or streetlights visible from the Bothy.
Bedroom
King sized bed, Egyptian cotton bedding and towels, full length mirror and a dressing table.
Parking
You can park your vehicle right outside the bothy (be careful not to block the wifi receiver though).
How many guests can stay?
Two adults as there is one bedroom in the property with a king sized bed.
Is Stonechat Bothy suitable for children?
We haven’t designed Stonechat Bothy with kids in mind. A deep ditch and burn run alongside the bothy (which is the most relaxing sound to soak up after the rain) and the log burning stove has a stone base and isn’t blocked off with any protection. The shower screen is fixed and can’t be pushed be back and it is one huge sheet of glass. The cleaning products under the sink are accessible as are the sockets.
