This is an excellent base from which to explore Skye, as we are midway between Portree and Dunvegan (the historic seat of the Clan MacLeod). The island capital Portree (10 miles away) has a tourist information centre, heritage centre with cinema, post office, supermarkets, restaurants, etc. From this small fishing port you can take boat trips around the nearby islands of Raasay and Rona, or do a spot of sea angling.

North Skye is full of interesting places to visit and things to do including castles, museums, potteries, galleries, hand spinning exhibitions and local craft markets. Pony trekking is possible and there are endless opportunities for fishing. For the adventurous there is rock climbing, canoeing and diving. Unlimited scope exists for hill walking, bird watching, and observing seals and other wildlife.

When it comes to dining out, you will be spoilt for choice with many fine hotels and restaurants throughout the island. Sample the best of Highland fare including local produce and seafood. Why not wash it down with a wee dram from Talisker, the island's very own whisky distillery? Nearby Skeabost House Hotel not only serves delicious food, but offers a 9-hole golf course and salmon fishing.
