Tidal Reach by Skye & Shore is a stunning retreat on the sought-after Waternish peninsula. With glass frontage framing mesmerising views of Isay, this beautifully designed cottage offers two en-suite rooms (one king, one twin) and a cosy living area with a wood-burning stove. Finished to an exceptional standard, it’s a haven of comfort and calm — the perfect escape for couples, friends, or anyone seeking Skye’s quiet beauty.
The Space
Designed for those who value space, style, and serenity, Tidal Reach is a contemporary coastal retreat with uninterrupted sea views and an atmosphere of quiet luxury. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the ever-changing light over the Minch to the Outer Hebrides, while the open-plan living area creates a seamless flow between cooking, dining, and relaxing.
The interiors are sleek and welcoming — natural materials, warm tones, and refined finishes that reflect Skye’s elemental beauty. A modern wood-burning stove anchors the living space, inviting slow evenings after days spent exploring the island.
Every detail is considered for comfort and indulgence — from the plush bedrooms with premium linens to the private terrace where you can watch the sunset melt into the sea. Tidal Reach offers a tranquil base for guests who appreciate design, privacy, and the raw beauty of Skye’s western coast.
The Area
Set on one of Skye’s most captivating peninsulas, Waternish offers a rare balance of seclusion, scenery, and sophistication. The landscape is wide and open — rolling croft land meeting dramatic cliffs and endless sea — a place where tranquility comes naturally.
A short drive away lies the coastal village of Stein, home to the acclaimed Loch Bay Restaurant, a Michelin-starred gem celebrating the best of local seafood, and the historic Stein Inn, Skye’s oldest pub with charm and views to match. Nearby, you’ll find artisan studios and galleries such as Skye Skyns tannery, Skíō Pottery, and local craft workshops showcasing the island’s creative spirit.
For those drawn to the outdoors, Waternish offers coastal walks, sea kayaking, and wildlife encounters — from dolphins and sea eagles to seals basking on the rocks below. As night falls, this designated Dark Sky area reveals a canopy of stars few places in the world can rival.
Peaceful yet rich with character, Waternish is a destination in itself — the perfect backdrop for a luxurious stay that captures the essence of Skye’s untamed beauty.
