Across a galvanised footbridge, the huge windows of Neil Hope and Lesley Unwin’s modern, architect-designed B&B bring those ‘glorious views’ of Broadford Bay and the Cuillin mountains right into the house. The book-lined bright, open-plan lounge/dining area has a log-burning stove and plump sofas enabling comfortable enjoyment of the panorama. On the floor below, a sliding door leads from each tartan-accented bedroom to larch decking. Neil Hope starts the day cooking a ‘delicious’ locally sourced breakfast, served communally: Skye sausages, black pudding, home-made bread, muffins and yogurt. An evening meal can be arranged at booking; restaurants are within walking distance. The ‘friendly hosts’ have plenty of ‘helpful information’ for planning local excursions.
