Ashaig

A welcoming coastal idyll overlooking Loch Greshornish and the Waternish peninsula in the north of the Isle of Skye.

Ashaig B&B is a modern bungalow, recently fully refurbished and surrounded by mature gardens in the crofting township of Kildonan. Located between Portree and Dunvegan, it offers peace and tranquillity just a short drive from the main A850 road. Its west-facing rooms provide views of spectacular sunsets and dark night skies offer the opportunity for tantalising glimpses of the Northern Lights. On a clear day you can see the mountains of Lewis and Harris in the Western Isles.

The B&B has 2 ensuite bedrooms individually designed to offer relaxing coastal vibes with a fusion of modern and vintage furnishings. 'Greshornish' is a twin room with two single beds, while 'Waternish' has a kingsize double bed. Picture windows in both bedrooms have a view of the stunning gardens overlooking Loch Greshornish. Both rooms have a flat screen TV, seated vanity (dressing table), hairdryer, tea/coffee tray and midge screen. The ensuite bathrooms feature live edge elm bathroom counters, complimentary toiletries and roomy showers.

The entire property has ground floor accommodation and a ramp for step-free access. A large parking area and reliable WiFi are available free of charge.

Several hot breakfast options are offered each morning and changed daily, ensuring that guests are unlikely to eat the same option twice. All breakfasts are freshly prepared to individual order using locally sourced ingredients. Continental options are also available including cereal, juice, yogurt, toast and seasonal fruit. For guests with an early start, a bacon butty can be made up as a quick option or take-away breakfast. If you have any dietary requirements or food allergies, please tell your hosts in advance.
Enjoy the view onto the loch and gardens from the dining room and conservatory where maps and books on Skye are available to help you plan the day ahead. 
This is an eco-friendly B&B which strives to reuse, recycle and repurpose to reduce waste and use resources economically and wisely.

Set in the north of Skye on a single track road, Ashaig is the perfect location to enjoy amazing scenery, wildlife and walks for all abilities. Conveniently situated 12 miles from Portree (boat trips, shops and services) and 18 miles from the ferry terminal at Uig to the Outer Hebrides. 
On the island's west coast you can explore Dunvegan Castle, Neist Point Lighthouse and the famous Fairy Pools. Discover hidden gems such as the Coral Beach or the black sands of Talisker Bay which has a distillery nearby which you may also want to visit. 
Over on the Trotternish peninsula, you can explore the unique Quiraing rock formations including the Old Man of Storr and Kilt Rock waterfall, as well as the dinosaur footprints at Staffin. 
Your friendly hosts are happy to share their recommendations for local restaurants and places to see off the beaten track.
