About Us

Becky, Peter and Jon have recently bought this idyllic boathouse after a lifetime in love with Scotland and the Western Isles. We just couldn’t resist such a characterful property in the most perfect location.

Our families have a shared love of nature – walking and cycling around the island and even learning a bit of Gaelic along the way. Diving, pottering around on boats and wild swimming are also favourite things to do – perfect from our own tidal harbour. We aim to spend some months here ourselves and rent out to holiday guests for the rest of the year.

We are musicians (two singers and a cellist) and it’s befitting since the Boathouse was first renovated by the singer Donovan in the 1970s. His great friend George Harrison (pictured) came to visit prior to the renovation. It’s pretty likely that they collaborated whilst staying up at LochBay House which Donovan also owned. Who knows which songs were inspired by this magical place.
