“We built Skerry for the hour after the sun goes down, when the light goes gold and the sea goes quiet.”
Ana and Tom, your hosts
Read our story
Rooted in the dunes, open to the weather
Skerry is a black timber house and two small cabins on a strip of dune above the North Atlantic. No neighbours, no road noise, just the tide and the long view out to sea.

Three places to sleep
Take the whole house for a family, or one of the cabins for two. Every stay has its own deck, its own stove and a view of the water.
Compare the stays
Breakfast basket
Bread, eggs, butter and coffee left at the door each morning.
Sauna by the shore
Fired for you at four. Towels and robes are in the hut.
Wood and linen
Dry logs, good sheets and wool blankets in every room.
Late Sundays
Check out at two on Sundays, so the last morning is slow.
Look around
Not a hotel. Not a holiday let. A place we built to keep, and lend to you for a while.
Far from everything, easy to reach
Two hours from the city by car, the last mile on a gravel track. We send directions and the gate code the week before you arrive.
Getting here
Slow breakfasts, long suppers
Mornings start with bread from the village and coffee on the deck. On Saturdays we light the long table for a supper of whatever the boats and the hedgerows brought in.

Explore the coast
The shore is yours from the front door. Paddle out at high tide, walk the cliff path to the harbour, then warm up in the sauna before supper.

“We came for three nights and stayed for six. The sauna, the swim, the bread at the door. I have not slept like that in years.”
Maya R. · The House, March
“The light at dusk is something else. We sat on the deck every evening and watched the sea go gold.”
Daniel K. · The Dune Cabin, September
“Quiet, warm and beautifully kept. Ana left a loaf and a map of the coast path, and we used both every day.”
