Ivy Cottage Guest House - vegetarian and vegan guest house with en-suite rooms and a self-catering shepherd's hut on the Isle of Rum.

Ivy Cottage Guest House offers welcoming accommodation at the head of Loch Scresort on the Isle of Rum, surrounded by the spectacular landscapes of Scotland's Small Isles. The vegetarian and vegan guest house has two spacious en-suite double rooms, one of which can be arranged as a twin or family room, with a cot available on request. Guests can also choose Bramble Bothy, a self-catering shepherd's hut overlooking the bay towards Skye and the mainland, providing an alternative for couples seeking a more private island retreat.

The guest house provides WiFi throughout, room refreshments, maps and guides, with breakfast and evening meals forming an important part of the Ivy Cottage experience. Food is vegetarian and plant-based, with local produce and suppliers used where possible, and packed lunches can also be prepared. Bramble Bothy has a double bed, its own bathroom and shower with modern composting toilet, kitchen facilities, armchairs, wood-burning stove and outdoor seating. The hut is off-grid and has been created with a focus on maintaining a low environmental impact without sacrificing comfort. Dogs cannot be accommodated at either Ivy Cottage or Bramble Bothy.

The Isle of Rum is an outstanding destination for walking, wildlife watching and experiencing the wild landscapes of the Small Isles. Guests can spend their days exploring the mountains and coastline or simply enjoying the views and tranquillity around Loch Scresort. Rum was officially designated a Dark Sky Sanctuary in 2024, and its exceptionally low levels of light pollution make clear nights particularly rewarding for stargazing.
