Featuring mountain views, Skye View provides accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 26 km from Eilean Donan Castle. The holiday home also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests.

We absolutely loved staying at Skye View. The location is stunning, the house is huge and very comfortable and equipped with everything that you could possibly need. It was more than enough space for 6 of us and our 3 fairly large dogs! The open plan dinning area and living room is absolutely massive. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. There are 2 ensuite double bedrooms with comfortable double beds and the 3rd bedroom has 2 single beds. The Kitchen was equipped with all utensils, pots, pans, crockery and more... :) There is utility room with extra fridge/freezer which became handy when 6 of us rocked with all the food! There is also an extra toilet next to the utility room. The views from the house are breathtaking and you can watch the sunsets from the comfort of one of the 4 sofa's! :) while enjoying the warmth of the log burner. The host Sarah and her family were very friendly and welcoming. We have had a perfect stay and wouldn't mind to coming back here again!

Everything. We had a fantastic week at Seaview. We were there as a family of 6 and our dog. The house was everything we needed and more. The house was well equipped with plenty of plates, utensils, cutlery, cleaning products everything we needed. Would definitely recommend. Plenty to do around the area but you definitely need a car, day trip to Skye is highly recommended too. From the house you have a fantastic view of the Isle of Skye

Close to the Skye Bridge in Kyleakin village, the Kings Arms dates back to the 1600s and has panoramic views across Kyle of Lochalsh to the mainland.

The hotel is one of the oldest on the Isle of Skye and has retained many traditional features and gained modern, homely comforts.

We had the family room and it was very clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was really good with lots of options. It's a charming, older hotel with the quirks that go along with that.

    Only affordable accomodatin i could find in the Highlands. The location is lovely, located in the valley between hills and farmlands near very quiet village with nice shop, caffe and a pub. Not very turisty, lot of opportunities for hiking, nice partly sandy beach nearby. The lady in charge is very nice. Accomodation is quite outdated, except the kitchen, which is new. But everyting was clean and there was everything we needed, so it was very comfortable.

    Glenelg is so peaceful, the drive to get there over Ratagan Pass is beautiful with stunning views. Skye View is beautiful, a lovely size for family staying together with plenty of room and the view from the house is exceptional, ever changing with the light as the sun sets no matter the weather.

    The view was spectacular, the chalet was basic but clean and comfortable and met all our families needs. Pool table and laundry room in separate chalet. It was quiet and relaxing. Close to Glenelg Ferry.

    The house was amazing. Our family had a great time staying here. Top marks for the welcome pack, other thoughtful touches (like hot water bottles and children's toys) and, of course, the view!

    Effie made us very welcome, it was like home from home. Very comfortable, the freedom of the Highlands is a treasure to experience and Glenelg is a perfect location with a lovely local Inn, a children's park & just enough shops to keep you going. Skye is an hour drive so easy to explore the sites. Great for families with active children & pets!
