A nice spot. The restored cottage has been rented from the Ardtornish estate by Chris Bacon for many years. You are welcome to go in and dry out, but not stay overnight without Chris's permission (ph 07596 909256). If you burn any wood then replace it from the dead wood lying around. You should sign the visitors' book. Like good friends many years ago who did rent the place, you have to be pretty robust to get here by land i.e. you walk carrying all your gear and food, presumably from the farm at Ardtornish point. Or of course you could arrive by boat which would be a lot easier. Behind the cottage are the remains of some ruined cottages. It is all delightfully remote.
The beach below the cottage is shingle but there are lots of interesting rock pools by the isolated rock that doesn't cover, and deer come down to the shore to feed. There is a fish trap by that rock. And of course watch out for sea eagles. And for the wash from the occasional ships in the Sound - not good for the wine glasses (if you have plastic glasses, recycle them at once and buy the real things as I did years ago in Lerwick after having my plastic rejected in favour of his own glass glass by a single handed Norwegian back from high altitudes). The deciduous woods between here and Ardtornish are fabulous.
