Description: A friendly welcome awaits you at Cruinn Bheinn, one of the Scottish Tourist Board's highest-rated bed and breakfast places on the Isle of Skye, yet as reasonably priced as any B&B you will find. We aim to provide true Highland hospitality in a warm and friendly environment, offering high quality accommodation. You are assured of a warm welcome and very comfortable rooms. The house was built and completed in 1996 by ourselves and is set in some of the most peaceful and scenic surroundings that Skye has to offer. It is situated on a working croft beside a very quiet road, in an elevated position with panoramic views over sea-loch and hills. From the croft you can walk directly up into the Trotternish hills or down to the shore. The sleeping accommodation consists of two double rooms and one twin room, all freshly decorated and tastefully furnished. All have ensuite shower and toilet, central heating, tea and coffee making facilities, colour television and hairdryer. The twin room and one of the double rooms have sea views. Breakfast is served in the dining room between 7.00 - 8.30 a.m.

Location: If you're seeking to get away from it all and experience a different pace of life, you'll find complete contentment here. We are in a quiet rural location, away from the main road, in the heart of crofting country, close to some of Skye's most spectacular scenery. Yet we are only 7 minutes drive from Portree, the island capital, and 10 minutes from the Western Isles ferry terminal at Uig. Ferry passengers welcome. We can give you your breakfast in time for you to catch the boat! Cruinn Bheinn is the ideal base from which to explore Skye. It is only seven miles from the island capital Portree, from where roads radiate out to all parts of the island. Yet it is in as tranquil and timeless a spot as any to be found on Skye, surrounded by nature and history, a place where Gaelic is still spoken and the crofting way of life lives on. For the walker there is open country stretching out in every direction, broken only by Loch Snizort Beag, an arm of the sea to the west of us with fascinating walks along its shores. The wildlife is as varied as the landscape, from the seabirds and otters in the loch through the croftlands which are a refuge for so many species now rare in the rest of the country, up into the hills where song of the skylark and the mew of the buzzard accompany you all the way, until you reach the heights where the golden eagle is king and the peregrine falcon guards the crags.
