Several restaurants of a high standard where local produce can be enjoyed are all within easy reach, 4 being 5-10 minutes drive from here and another is only a short walk away. The many hotels and restaurants on Skye serve excellent local specialities including freshly caught seafood.

The B&B is 80 miles from Fort William and 85 miles from Inverness. They are situated at the south end of the island, only 5 miles from the Skye bridge on the A87 and 8 miles from the only remaining traditional ferry link to the mainland at Kylerhea where there is also an otter haven. The ferry here is reached by way of one of the oldest and most winding roads on Skye, a drover's route which leads to the mainland at Glenelg where a pictish broch may be seen and lunch taken at the local hotel. Broadford, our nearest village is 2 miles along the main road and the rest of this lovely island is easily accessible from here. The safe sandy beach at Ashaig is only a 10 minute stroll away from here where seals, otters and birdlife abound amongst the crystal clear water and coral shores. Christianity was brought to Skye by St. Mulrubha, one of St Columba's monks, here at Ashaig and the excavated remains of his cell can still be seen.

The island is larger than most people think, about 60 miles long, and is made up of several very different peninsulas and needs a few days visit to do it any justice. Incredibly due to its winged shape it has a coastline of over 900 miles!!

Skye is famous, quite rightly, for all the natural beauty it has to offer along with many items of cultural and historical interest.
There are several museums of crofting life, a Gaelic college, the Clan Donald Centre where genealogy may be investigated, castles, a heritage centre with theatre and cinema, regular ceilidhs, swimming pool, 2 golf courses, horse riding, many art galleries and craft outlets, the local whisky distillery , a serpentarium right here in Broadford, but most of all there is the island itself which cannot be compared with any other off the coast of Britain.

The scenery is magnificent and you are never more than 5 miles from the sea. The Cuillins are rugged and dramatically beautiful and climbers come from all over the world to meet their challenge. There are, of course, walks and climbs to suit everyone and we have several excellent books to help you plan these. We can highly recommend guided walks, activities and boat trips such as those run by Seafari, the Whitewave Centre and on the "Bella Jane" or the "Family Pride 2" The island is a photographer's and artist's paradise due to the stunning views and unique light affects and the discerning tourist can be part of all we have to offer here. The main roads are of a good standard but some are single track which may seem a novelty but require everyone to drive with courtesy and consideration.

Try not to rush around Skye as you will miss out on so much but most of all take time to relax and enjoy just being here.
