Fossil Cottage is an authentic, vernacular, historic crofter’s home with Jurassic fossils visible in the walls, full of character, charm and comfort. We restored this 200-year-old building with love, dedication and imagination. It’s the opposite of a predictable, off-the-shelf pod or cabin. It has soul.
Located right by the seashore, the cottage is a private, peaceful haven with a serene and soothing ambiance. You can watch the local otters from the sofa and marvel at spectacular sunsets illuminating the mountains and sea. The cottage sits in our extensive garden grounds, and as local owners, we’re available to welcome you and to help if needed. There’s a short walk of about 80 metres down a gently sloping gravel track from the car parking area. Shops, restaurants and galleries are within three miles in Broadford village.
Situated on a tidal estuary full of wildlife, you couldn’t be closer to nature. In addition to otters there are seals, seabirds and waders. Eagles and buzzards soar above and herons stand like sentinels by the water's edge. Sheep and lambs will entertain you as they wait for the tide to go out to sneak across close to the cottage.
Nearby along the estuary are beautiful sands, a hidden coral beach island, a fascinating old graveyard and an ancient wishing well. The area is a designated site of scientific interest for its geology.
Amenities include a cosy double bedroom, a comfortable living area, wi-fi, smart TV, environmentally-friendly heating in the living room, games and a library of books with local themes. The well-equipped kitchen has a fridge/freezer, gas cooker, microwave, dishwasher, condiments and starter supplies of tea, coffee, milk and sugar. A powerful shower will refresh you after a day out exploring. There’s a washing machine, iron and a hairdryer. Bed linen and towels are provided. No predictable furnishings and standardisation, but everything you need for a perfect, exclusive holiday.
