Lovely spot on the Skye coast. Great little pub attached to property. ‘Suites’ were in a row of cottage style houses separate from the main house - cute living room, nice bathroom downstairs (appreciated the door in the shower screen over the bath to set the shower before getting in). Upstairs bedroom comfortable, but a few strange roof angles to bang your head on.
