Had a lovely stay in the room. Very clean and comfy. From the window you can see the shore and the ferry haven on the other side of the bay. The owners are also the owners of the restaurant 10-15 min to walk or 2 min by car up the hill where you can have breakfast and dinner. The staff of the restaurant is very nice and has lots of recommendations for places to go and how to avoid overcrowded spots. The veggy breakfast is awesome! Hiking spots like Old Man of Storr or Quiraing can be reached by car in 20 min.All in all an awesome stay and highly recommended.Thank you very much for the lovely stay! 😊

Brillant view, an nice and clean room (but with very little isolation to the neighbour rooms, so you can hear every laughter) and a very easy parking in front of the house. Great experience.

This B&B is perfect! The room was spacious and very clean, and the view was breathtaking. Billy and Anne were able to find us a spot for dining and truly helped us to get our lost luggage. They were very accommodating and made sure we enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was excellent!
