Lochview Bed & Breakfast

It’s the best description I can give the chalet, it felt warm, welcoming and homely as soon as we entered the door. It’s located in a perfect position for exploring the stunning Trotternish peninsular and within a short drive to Portree with all it’s shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants. The main window in the chalet faces west overlooking the loch and, because it is an ‘upside down’ house, it has amazing evening sunsets in the right conditions. We were looking for a bit of solitude after the crazy year that is/was 2020 and the chalet gave us that in spades. It was so nice to come back after a day exploring and experiencing the changeable weather that Skye offers in autumn, to a warm home and cook up a nice dinner with some local produce that we found at the local shops. The large kitchen/diner is really well equipped with all the glassware, crockery cutlery (including sharp knives!) you’ll need and cooking while looking out over the loch watching the sun go down with a glass of wine in hand is a joy. If cooking is not in your plans, there are plenty of restaurants close by (post COVID restrictions) to choose from and some of them are offering a take away service during the restrictions. I highly recommend Lochview Chalet to anyone wanting to have a break away in Skye looking for a bit of peace and quiet.
