Absolute bliss. This is a lovely remote B&B in the North of Skye. Came up for a few days before heading to South Uist with my wife Julia and wee dog Haggis. The host Suzie is lovely, and her breakfasts are to die for. …

We were swayed by the price of The Anchorage. It was in the middle of nowhere, with a cracking view Loch Bracadale. …

Callum is the sweetest host. He did so much to make us feel at home. Even made us a lovely vegan breakfast as requested. Room was comfortable, the views are stunning. Callum has great suggestions on what to do on Skye, if you want to avoid the tourist places and have some great adventures. We hope to stay here again next time we visit Skye

The B&B “the Anchorage” is unfortunately a total failure. Super nice and quiet location, you could do so much with it. However, the operators apparently invest neither money nor time. Older facilities that would be ok in themselves (don't have huge demands), but because they are dirty and unkempt, a stay here is generally not recommended.

A very homely and welcoming accomodation with a stunning view. We saw seals from the comfort of our room. The hosts are very kind, they even gave us sandwiches to go because we left early in the morning!

Absolutely stunning view from the common room and the guest rooms. the owners are friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend staying at the Anchorage if you come to Skye! The location is a bit away from restaurants, so you will want to plan out your meals (call ahead to make reservations). The breakfast was so delicious and filling. Thank you so much for the lovely stay, Calum and Suzi.

We enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful views. Our host was very welcoming and able to answer our questions throughout our stay. In the rooms there are suggested road trip route cards which are great and you can bring them out with you on your day out.

This is a lovely and friendly place to stay. The house is a plain looking bungalow but the rooms were very comfortable. We had three int he room and it was a little small, but we made it work.  …
