Coig na Shee - more than a guest house

Coig na Shee offers bed and breakfast accommodation that we'd want to stay in ourselves.

This means getting everything right, and also by paying attention to the smallest detail, such as crisp white bed linen, huge cosy towels, pampering toiletries, leaf and herbal teas, fresh coffee with a cafetière, and a mini fridge for your fresh milk.

Coig na Shee
It's impossible to be totally sure of the origins of our name, but - thanks to local lore - here's our best shot.

"Shee" derives from "sithein", Gaelic for "fairy hill", and "Coig" means "five" or a fifth - an ancient way of dividing up land - Coig na Shee, a ' fifth of a fairy hill'.

Your Hosts
