The Isle of Skye has some excellent restaurants and chefs but you may be tempted to prepare your own meals whilst gazing out of the kitchen window over scenic Loch Snizort and the Cuillins. Over the last 15 years we have tried to ensure that our guests feel that the kitchen is a home from home. 

The kitchen is fully equipped with a Ceramic Hob and Double Oven, Fridge/Freezer, Microwave, Toaster and dining area. Kitchen towels are supplied for your convenience. In the event that you require anything we will try our best to provide it for you. The opening hours and stock contained in the local supermarkets has been improving steadily over the years and should be able to meet your requirements. Many businesses are now open on a Sunday to cater for visitors.
