Right from your doorstep, you can observe local wildlife, embark on scenic walks, or cycle around the island. The cottage’s remote location and cozy atmosphere make it a peaceful haven for those looking to reconnect with nature.
The interior of the cottage features an open-plan living room and kitchen, with expansive views of the sea and surrounding landscape that invite relaxation. The lounge/dining area is equipped with comfortable armchairs and settees, adorned with Harris Tweed curtains crafted by Donald John Mackay, an MBE honoree for his contributions to reviving the Harris Tweed industry. A visit to Luskentyre might even offer a glimpse of him at his loom.
For entertainment, a table tennis table can be set up upon request, and the cottage includes a TV, DVD player, radio, and Wi-Fi connectivity. The kitchen is well-equipped for culinary adventures, featuring gas cooking facilities, a large fridge-freezer, and spacious walnut worktops that double as a breakfast bar. A large walk-in pantry and a utility area with a washing machine and microwave further enhance the functional appeal. Guests are encouraged to use the provided cooking essentials such as oil, condiments, and spices, replenishing as needed.
An eco-friendly, glass-fronted pellet-burning stove located in the lounge ensures warmth and comfort. The double bedroom offers a king-size bed, ample wardrobe space, and a selection of books for bedtime reading, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Linen, towels, bathrobes, and complimentary toiletries are all thoughtfully provided. The bathroom is well-appointed with both a walk-in shower and a full-length bath.
Mobile phone reception in the area is reasonable, with the best network coverage from Vodafone & EE.
From the cottage’s vantage point, guests can enjoy views across the Minch to the Cuillins on Skye to the southeast, and to the South Uist hills to the south-southwest. Whether the sea is calm or stormy, the views are consistently spectacular.
Despite its remote feel, Mil Bothy is conveniently situated just 100 yards beyond the main house and 400 yards off the Quidinish road. A south-facing patio offers a perfect spot to sit back, relax, and forget the world you've left behind, making it an ideal retreat for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment.
