We were staying in the self catering accommodation Sea Drift, attached to Skye Picture House. The location is idyllic, right next to the edge of the Loch. The accommodation is clean and well equipped with beautifully comfortable beds. Hosts, Stuart and Sarah are wonderfully friendly and helpful. Don't want to recommend this too highly as we'd love to return! Can't recommend highly enough.

Stuart and Sarah were gracious hosts. They were very helpful and accomodating. The room was clean and tidy. The food was delicious and the views were out of this world. It was close enough to most places and the bus stop near the BnB proved to be very handy. We highly recommend this BnB!
