Where to stay on Skye

[blobbs]

Me and my good lady wife are getting off the Troon ferry on Friday morning at 9am. I assume we would have no problem making the Isle of Skye by teatime. If so are there any B&Bs near a local pub/hostelry that would be recommended

Stay in a wee Crofters lodge, on the edge of the seashore, burning peat to keep warm and cook some ferral meat, all the while singing scottish ditties while wearing a Tam "O" shanter and a knitted hairy jumper.

What more could you ask for. Apart from civilisation.

Watch out for cross-dressing 80 year old men

I've personally stayed at the Urquhart Caledonian Hotel in Portree - it's a fine hotel where the landlady (who's very knowledgeble on F1 GP racing!) is very welcoming of bikers.

Recommended!

Alternatively, there's the Cuillin Hills Hotel, also in Portree (stayed here too) - top dollar, but very nice. Perhaps more welcoming of your money than you as a biker.

Any chance the rest of us on the open forum could benefit from your wisdom as well? Planning to head that way this summer and would welcome any help in getting the best out of the trip.

Now that would involve opening your wallet and becoming a Site Sponsor. Gowon, you know it makes sense .

I've stayed at the Portree Hostel-clean, cheap and close to the pub but not the best for couples perhaps?

Thank you for your help – must be a BMW thing.
When do I roll up my trousers and show you my nipples?

accomodation -

the private bunkhouse in the centre o' Portree
or the Ferry (or Ferry Boat) Inn at Uig.
Came over from Lochmaddy on a Thursday night and stayed there. Forced to go to bed at 03:30 due to bar owner switching off the lights (no mine ).
Three young lads had a set o' pipes an accordian and fiddle and did us proud, a distillery did the rest

Don't be daft, it's to do with helping to keep the forum going by chipping in with the running costs

I wandered in by mistake, I'll be gone as soon as I can find a border guard who doesn't want £50 to ignore the fact my visa's ran out.

Skeabost Hotel was nice a few weeks ago.

not B+B prices though! We had a super room with 4 poster and a bathroom big enough for a barn dance.

Recently taken over by some Oxford hotel chain and refurbishing the traditional restaurant. Nice conservatory dining room though.
