Clear blue water and white sandy beaches. Hard to believe you’re still in the UK, this serene atmosphere makes Coll perfect for retreats.

Coll Bunkhouse is ideal for retreats. Especially from October to March when the island is quiet and you can easily find a place to be on your own. Paint or draw the unique Coll scenery. Or Perhaps a weekend bird spotting retreat, attempt to see the elusive corncrake. We don’t currently have any retreats booked, but  the community centre next door offers spaces to hire. Pilates classes run regularly and massages can be booked.

This island bunkhouse sleeps 16 people and is well equipped for groups, with two large tables in the dining area. The Isle of Coll’s amazing beaches look wonderful at anytime of year. The Bunkhouse is next door to Coll’s community centre and across the road from the Coll Hotel public bar, a great place to see in the New Year in with local people. Not to be missed is the New Year day shinty match.

Currently all dates available for Christmas and New Year.   Winter discounts available for stays of 5 nights or more (Nov-20 Mar) for individuals. Discounts also available for group booking of the whole bunkhouse (contact info@collbunkhouse.co.uk for more information on discounts). 

The bunkhouse is next door to An Cridhe, Coll’s award winning community centre, where there are facilities to play table tennis, badminton, indoor football and more, plus a well equipped mini gym.  Coll’s amazing beaches look wonderful at anytime of year and Coll is a great place for cycling or walking.

Coll Hotel and the Island Café are both 5 minutes away from the bunkhouse and both serve amazing food at anytime of year. 

Winter escapes are at their best on the Isle of Coll. Picture yourself on white sands at the edge of the world. View our awesome starry sky from the doorstep. Dine out with a view. Feel the welcome!

From beautiful white sands and a picturesque village on the banks of Loch Eatharna, to great food and drink (with a view) and an awesome starry sky, the Isle of Coll is a true getaway. Time moves more slowly here and relaxation takes on a new meaning, even if you are one of our more active visitors. As Scotland’s only island International Dark Sky Community it is no surprise that astronomers come here to enjoy our starry sky, but you don’t have to be an expert, or even an amateur, to be amazed by what is on offer here. Our days are also quite something as we benefit from some of the highest sunshine hours per annum in the UK and, thanks to the Gulf Stream, have a more temperate winter climate than the mainland. During the day there are loads of white sands to explore and the road that leads you to them has a different view around every corner. Most of the island facilities are situated in our beautiful village where visitors receive a warm welcome. Whiling away the time in the village is not just for locals. Our modern community centre provides a multitude of facilities for locals and visitors, from sports and games to events, a gym (inductions can be arranged), reading material and a wonderful space to relax. Our local restaurants use local produce where possible and have wonderful views. Visitors regularly comment on the welcome received. We are open over Christmas and New Year and have a great group discounts during the winter months. Additional discounts are available for long stays.
