Information about the host

A secluded 2 bedroom cottage just off Kyle of Lochalsh main street. It is also a 5 minute drive to the famous Skye Bridge so is a terrific base from which to explore the beautiful island of Skye. There are signposted walks to the Plock View point starting outside the garden gate. From the Plock, about 10 minutes walk there is a 360 degree view of the surrounding area including the lochs and over towards Skye and the other islands of the Inner Sound. There are several attractions within Kyle of Lochalsh such as the Glass Bottom boat tours, seal boat tours and a Railway Museum. Further away with short drives are the picturesque villages of Plockton with its wonderful Plockton Shores restaurant and Plockton Inn and Plockton Hotel restaurants. (Plockton is accessible by train from Kyle). Near Plockton is Craig Highland Farm with a large variety of rare farm breeds and other creatures. The nearby village of Kyleakin in Skye also has a picturesque harbour and sign posted walks to Castle Moil. On the mainland the world famous Eilan Donan Castle is near Kyle and a stop for a walk in Lochalsh Woodland Gardens Gardens on the way to Eilan Donan is well worth a visit.

The cottage was purchased in 2017 as a place to stay while working on ships operating from Kyle of Lochalsh. During this time while also refurbishing and redecorating the cottage we also started hosting and Breakfast with the spare bedroom. However my job as a ship's engineer changed again and we moved back to our main home near Glasgow. We decided to keep the cottage on and run it as a Holiday Let as we like visiting the cottage ourselves with it's secluded and relaxing location, while at the same time being very close to amenities and a great hub for touring the area ourselves. My work allows us to have regular visits to enjoy the cottage and also ensure the upkeep is good and with continual improvements. Thanks for looking at our cottage page. We hope you find it attractive and of course would welcome your booking. David & Yvonne.

The area is a major tourist location for those wanting to explore and view the bens and glens of the highlands and Skye. There is a wealth of panoramic views in the area, including that from the Plock just a shore walk up from the cottage. The loch and the light on the lochs and sunlit hills are quite spectacular. There is also a lot of wildlife to spot. Kyle is located at the Skye bridge so is conveniently located to explore Skye from to the North, South and West of the island. On the main land there is also the nearby Eilan Donan Castle to visit. There are very good restaurants in the area serving fine local produce, including the Caol Restaurant and Waterside Seafood Restaurant, both short walks from the cottage. The cottage is just yards from local amenities of banks, ATMs, pharmacy, and several shops as well as a supermarket. There is also is a well equipped leisure centre situated next to the cottage.
