Tir Alainn Bed and Breakfast

With a superb location on the Isle of Skye, Tir Alainn Bed and Breakfast accommodation is a member of the Scottish Tourist Board, graded with four stars.

This is a comfortable, modern bungalow set in an acre of grounds, in an elevated and peaceful position near Broadford, overlooking the sea.

From the B&B there are superb views of the Red Cuillins, the islands of Pabay, Scalpay and Raasay, and the mountains of Wester Ross ...

... with the added bonus of a seascape noted for its stunning sunrises and sunsets.

Bed and breakfast guests can relax in the sun lounge in the evening - where a selection of books, information on the history of Skye and maps can be found.

There are many walks and climbs to discover - why not plan a route whilst enjoying the view? Guests are even provided with binoculars!

All rooms are tastefully furnished and provide great comfort in a relaxing atmosphere.

Each bedroom is well equipped, with:

• Colour television and alarm clock
• Electric blankets, heating and shaver points
• Hairdryer
• Tea and coffee making facilities

The double bedded rooms are named 'The Hamish' and 'The Heather' - and each has private en-suite facilities [shower, toilet and wash basin].

'The Seathrift' is a single bedded room, with a view of the sea and private facilities [not en-suite but exclusive use for guests in this room].

A full and generous 'Islander' breakfast is served, to set you up for your day of exploring. A light breakfast is also available of course.

Packed lunches are available on request and dinner is available by arrangement.

Several restaurants of a high standard - and where local produce can be enjoyed - are within easy reach.

Four of these restaurants are less than ten minutes drive from Tir Alainn Bed and Breakfast. Another of Skye's restaurants is only a short walk away.

The many hotels and restaurants on Skye serve excellent local specialities including freshly caught seafood.

Tir Alainn B&B is 80 miles from Fort William and 85 miles from Inverness.

The accommodation is situated at the south end of the island, only five miles from the Skye bridge on the A87.

Just 8 miles away is the only remaining traditional ferry link to the mainland at Kylerhea, where there is also an otter haven.

The ferry crossing at Kylerhea is reached by way of one of the oldest and most winding roads on Skye, a drover's route which leads to the mainland at Glenelg - where a pictish broch may be seen and lunch taken at the local hotel.

The picturesque harbour of Elgol is about 20 miles [a 45 minute drive] from Tir Alainn and here you can find:

• Spectacular coastal scenery
• Boat trips across Loch Scavaig to Loch Coruisk
• Boat trips to some of the smaller isles

The safe sandy beach at Ashaig is only a 10 minute stroll away - where seals, otters and bird life abound amongst the crystal clear water and coral shores.

Broadford is the nearest village, two miles away along the main road. The rest of this lovely island is easily accessible from here.

Broadford Bay was the setting in late summer 1998 for the appearance of two rare northern bottle-nosed whales.

The pair delighted the crowds of people fortunate enough to be present in the area at the time - but will they return?
