Hotel was lovely, staff were friendly and welcoming. They were very helpful when we arrived late in the evening,10 minutes before the kitchen closed, and very kindly got us a table so we could have a meal. Front of hotel looks out over the water towards Skye.

Stunning view from room across the water opposite with views towards the Skye Ridge. However the premises are located on the main A87 trunk road carrying all the heavy lorries rumbling noisily down from Skye and the Western Isles towards Inverness or further south towards Scotland's Central Belt. It's all good if you don't mind the traffic or walking along a main road.
Kevin and Trudy are excellent hosts. The accommodation was very clean and well appointed. Dinner was excellent.
The views are magnificent.
Taxis were difficult to find but Trudy and Kevin have no control over that.
The shower could be better but it did the job.
I would be happy to return to Toads Croak.

Great location. Great accommodation. Great hosts.
Great location. Great accommodation. Great hosts. Used to explore Skye and it didn't disappoint. Very secluded and slow traffic on single track roads so don't go if you like to rush around. Swam in the Loch and spotted otters at dusk.

Owners were down-to-earth and friendly.
Owners were down-to-earth and friendly. Trudy and Kevin are avid gardeners, as evidenced by the massive plantings at the rear of the home and numerous pots in front to greet guests. Breakfast room overlooks the rear gardens, giving guests full view of the beautiful flowers currently in bloom.
Letterfearn itself consists of a few homes on a single-track road running alongside the loch. It's very windy and twisty, so don't expect to zip along to the Frogs Croak. As this road is slow-going, the 10-mile drive further along to the ferry is not recommended. It took 45 minutes to get there; it was considerably faster to drive to Portree via Lochalsh.
If you are a walker, you will enjoy the area, as there are loads of trails that weren't terribly challenging, making it simple for the very fit and nice for those who aren't. Just remember: you're only an hour away from the Cuillen Mountains where there are challenging hikes for the fitter visitors.
Drive farther beyond Portree to view the Old Man of Storr. This rock formation is interesting, as is the Kilt Rock a few miles farther along. Getting to these locations will be through Sligachan, where an old arch bridge and surrounding river make for a very photogenic setting. Be sure to stop at the local hotel for good food, drink, and music.

It's a beautiful location, very tranquil and there's a good walk straight from the door up to the broch beyond Totaig. Or you can drive to Glen Elg and walk around there. It's great for wildlife; I saw an otter and a heron but there are also porpoises in the loch.
