It's been a very busy start to the season this year. So much so that we've barely had a new booking over the last month as we are more or less full already until the end of September. Most folk seem to be coming for shorter stays these days and with our minimum stay being 3 nights in our studio our dates have filled very quickly. This means that anyone who wants to come for longer misses out as there's only short blocks of dates in between bookings. So, I'm just about to open our calendar for next year to allow anyone who wants a longer stay the chance to beat the rush. If you book now for next year you will also avoid the price increase (we haven't increased our prices for a few years) The dates should be live in the next week. So if you're thinking of a Skye holiday next year and there's just two of you why not have a look at our cosy Studio for two? or sample our Scottish breakfast in our B & B room 'The purple room at Strathallan'.

Well hasn't it been the weirdest winter in the UK this year? We've had prolonged freezing temperatures, snow and latterly storm after storm. The signs of spring are starting to show with the snowdrops and daffies popping through and we're longing for the warm sun on our faces.

Our 2024 calendar is filling up fast for B&B and The Bijou so you better get in quick if you're planning a Skye visit this year. I think it's going to be busier than ever. Look at this fabulous ariel shot of Lower Breakish taken by Sarah Burd during a pleasure flight with Flying Skye air experiences. I wish I could be so brave to have a go! You can book a flight via their website, they fly from Ashig airstrip which is just along the road from us. https://www.flyingskye.co.uk/air-experiences/

Well, it's the end of what has been a very busy season. We are open right through though, if you fancy a winter break drop us a message for a winter discount. I'm just about to open our dates for next year so get in quick as I think they will go fast if this year has anything to go by. After our well earned holiday in Speyside I'm now getting organised for a busy Christmas at the The Kraft Kabin Skye and enjoying our Autumnal surroundings 🧑

We've had some lovely guests this year, here's one of our latest reviews, the remarks shared by other guests too and to our face which is always nice. I think we must be doing something right :-)

Comments about this property
Staying at Strathallan was a highlight of our vacation in Scotland. We are very appreciative of our time with Angela and Derek, having breakfast and talking with them about many topics. They gave valuable advice about Skye and related many stories of their experiences here. The room was outstanding, comfortable and sunny. We would definitely return.
Tips for other travellers
Skye has many things to see- good hikes, the sea all around. We enjoyed driving around to the top of the island. Old Man was too crowded for us but the rest of the island was great, not busy in September. Good restaurants nearby, for example Deli Gasta and Cafe Sia for lunches.

"Fantastic b&b could not fault it one bit, very friendly hosts, room was spacious spotless and the bathroom was lovely, the bath was a huge hit. Breakfast was 10/10 was cooked to order and was the nicest breakfast we have had so far on our holiday. I would 100% recommend the b&b to people".

Well the 2023 season is well and truly started and it's shaping up to be a busy year. Our spotlight this week is another self-catering business but with a difference. Pop over and have alook at Janet's shepherd huts, they are absolutely gorgeous and beautifully presented, you'll get to meet Gibert and George the donkeys too. Situated also in a beautiful spot with fabulous views.

Just a few hundred metres from Loch Eishort, Bothan Buidheag is a stunning place to rest and relax with views that stretch over rolling hills and the glittering sea

This week's local business spotlight is Amy's Place Tea Room & Gifts which is based in Torrin on the road to Elgol. We always recommend a stop off here to our guests and visitors who are heading out to Elgol and try and stop in ourselves when we can (which unfortunately isn't often enough!) Alison and Mark have an amazing range of gifts, local stock, the most amazing cakes and much, much more! You're not only sure to get a warm welcome but a lovely hot bowl of soup and one of Alisons legendary cheese scones πŸ˜‹ It's also got to be the cafe with the best views on Skye. Pop over to their page to see the latest snowy photos.

Award winning cake shop which selling home baking by the slice, all made in-house. Traybakes too.

Well it's been a very changeable day in Breakish today. We woke to a few inches of the white stuff and it's been snowing on and off ever since. We don't often get much on our level as we are so close to the sea but it's always beautiful to see (as long as you don't need to go anywhere πŸ˜…)

Well, bookings are starting to come in thick and fast. So if you're planning a holiday to Skye this year you better get a move on πŸ˜‰

I've decided each week to promote a different business/place to visit on Skye and the surrounding areas so you can see what we have to offer. I'm starting with my very own wee business The Kraft Kabin Skye. Situated right next to our B&B and the Bijou Hideaway we have a range of products and gifts to suit everyone. From jewellery made from genuine Skye Marble, Heather and Isle of Skye tartan to homewares, woollens and Skye souvenirs to take home to remind you of your visit. Pop over to our page to see what we do. Open right through the season or by appointment.

Oh we do love a love story. Nick and Lucy love Skye and decided to renew their vows in their favourite place on their 10th wedding anniversary. Thankfully the showery weather and horizontal winds didn't put a dampener on their day. We were more than happy to celebrate their special day with some bubbles and a slice of cake from Creatures of Habit Cakery. I gave Lucy one of my Isle of Skye tartan corsages as a gift which tied in with her beautiful flowers which she hand tied herself with flowers from Loch Duich Plants We wish them all the best for the future ❀️
