Nearby you will find a COOP where you can buy food supplies, but note that there are no other shops. If you are travelling without a car I would suggest you find accommodation nearer the town centre. The host and his wife are very nice and accommodating. The B&B offers 2 bedrooms: 1 single and 1 double/twin. In your bedroom you will find clean towels, a small TV, clean carpet and sheets, a wash basin, coffee and tea facilities. You are handed a key to the main door and room and can come and go when you like. Breakfast is served plenty and you can expect the full English breakfast or anything you order the night before. Just fill in the sheet, which is left in your room and request what you want for breakfast. This is a very nice and efficient idea. Why only 3*? Unfortunately you need to share the toilet and bathroom with other guests, you might not know. Also, the walls appear to be very thin and you can hear people talking downstairs or in the other room. Still, its a nice place to stay if you have a car and and do not mind sharing the bathroom.

I recently stayed with my boyfriend here while on holiday in Skye. The room was nice with a wash…read morebasin and free Wi-Fi and TV. The hosts were very helpful especially John who cooked us a great full English breakfast. The bathroom was shared with another room but this did not bother us as the place was very clean and tidy and the bathroom spotless. The place is about a mile from the local town of Portree and the setting is very beautiful. only took us about 15 minutes walk into the centre when going out one evening for food. By car it's only a couple of minutes. like I said we were impressed by how clean the place was and there were some great maps and local guide books which we could borrow. On the whole we enjoyed our stay very much and I'm going to give it a 4 :-) xx Kata

We were looking for a break last year and a road trip was in the planning but a destination wasn't…read moresecured. As we had never ben to Skye before we decided to head up there. I am so pleased we did and I am so pleased that we decided to "glamp" it up a wee bit! The Shulista Wigwams are a new development, run by Adam and Sally Williams. They put a few on their land and have been having a success of it ever since. They really deserve it. The welcome we got was warm and friendly, nothing was too much bother and the chat was great. Situated at the very top of Skye, Shulista is a staggeringly beautiful part of the country. We were lucky to have mostly clear weather and the views in the morning were amazing. For those without prior knowledge (of which I was definitely one prior to this) the Wigwams are an arch construction, wood with a simple layout, en suite and cooking facilities in one. I think they were £65 a night and you get a TV and the basic set up to make your stay comfortable. Completely self catered these provide a warm and comfortable base to explore the area. I was impressed by how comfortable they are, we could have easily stayed a lot longer and seen a lot more, or simply sat outside and watched the world go by with some of the local produce called Talisker! We set ourselves up and I spoke to Adam about having a bbq, he provided a full fire pit kit for £5 and we set to work. I can't review my own cooking (5 stars of course) but rather the help and willingness to find anything we wanted made us feel welcome and happy in our small pods! The wigwams are warm and cosy, not luxury compared to hotels but very luxurious compared to tents! This is not camping, this is good living! By a coincidence fans of the Grand Designs program will recognise a house you can see from the Wigwams, as it featured a few years ago and is now a coffee house and art studio. Well worth popping into and grabbing some quality coffee while there. If you want a great getaway break then this is the place for you. Gorgeous countryside, great people, comfortable and peaceful. Ideal!

The Duisdale House Hotel was a lovely experience. It's only about 10-15 minutes from Broadford on…read morethe southern end of Skye. A few of the high points: 1. Check-in. Due to inclement weather and construction delays, we didn't arrive until 9:45 pm, but still received a very warm welcome. The receptionist gave us a quick tour of the ground floor - breakfast spot, where to get a drink, wifi info, and a better parking spot, and then walked us up to our second floor room to be sure everything was all set. 2. Breakfast. It's tasty and there are quite a few options available. Hours were 8-10 while we were there late March 2015. 3. Room comfort: the room and bathroom felt nice and updated, and was very comfortable. The only minor complaints were that the wifi didn't seem to reach our room so we could only use it in the lobby, and there weren't a lot of shelves in the bathroom or large places in the bedroom to place suitcases. But those were pretty minor since our overall experience was extremely lovely.

The hosts, Ian and Christine, welcomed us warmly into the property, and our bedroom was fantastic -- decorated with a lot of locally made textiles and little items, it was simple, clean, and comfortable. They even had USB outlets! Ian cooks all the breakfast in the morning, and you fill out a form the day before (or when you arrive) so he knows when and what to prepare. The latest time for breakfast is 8:15am, which can prove to be a challenge for night owls and world travelers with jet lag like us, but I was actually glad that it kept us to a schedule so we could see more things. The breakfast was huge! There was a starter and a main, toast, coffee or tea, and we could never manage to finish the food, even though it was all very delicious. Ian swears by his porridge (I can see why!), and you can choose between 4 plates: smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, smoked meats and cheese, Scottish breakfast, and bacon and Brie on muffins. They also use really nice tableware and everything just looks fantastic and neat. If you happen to be chilling in the living room of the property at the right time, you might get some afternoon tea or a little whisky. We've had some fantastic conversations with the hosts and other guests while chilling out before our next adventure. Ian could also pack you lunch for a small fee, which is a very good idea if you are just going to hike all around the island. All-in-all, I find this place very lovely, not very expensive at all for what it offers, and would definitely plan a vacation around a stay.
