Splendid isolation: 10 beautifully remote getaways in the UK

Guests at this lighthouse keeper's cottage have not only the property but the whole 1.6-hectare (four-acre) island to themselves. Eilean Sionnach is an islet off Skye that is accessible by boat or on foot at low tide. Like the lighthouse, the cottage was built in 1857 and has four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a kitchen and a lounge with a wood burner, and incredible sea views. As well as a patio and garden, which has a fire circle, the cottage has its own private beach.
