The Sligachan Hotel is about 20 minutes drive away and hosts its own micro brewery.
The Oyster Shed on the road from Carbost to Portnalong has a fabulous selection of fresh seafood, including its own locally grown oysters and takeaway snacks. Open all year round it is definitely worth a visit.

Cafe Cuil at Satran serves lovely brunch/lunch and coffee throughout the day.

Walking
Walking on Skye ranges from gentle strolls to extremely challenging so there’s something to suit all ages and levels of fitness. Check out www.walkhighlands.co.uk/skye for more information.


Wildlife
Wildlife on Skye is abundant, varied and everywhere. From birds in the garden at the Cottage and Studio to the majestic golden eagle and stunning white tailed eagle, from the seal colony at Dunvegan to whales and dolphins around the coastline, from red deer to otters you will not be disappointed. With patience (and a bit of luck) you may see all of those on your own, but why not book a guided tour with Isle of Skye Wildlife Tours and benefit from local knowledge of the best places to spot your favourite wildlife.
