Location of Hillview Bed and Breakfast:
Hillview B&B is easy to find in the village of Broadford. When approaching
the village from the Skye Bridge drive through Broadford past the Claymore
restaurant on the right. Near the bus shelter take the first left turn
towards the Skye Serpentarium.
At the junction near Creelers restaurant turn right and immediately cross
a small bridge then turn sharp left and follow the road for 200 metres
to the end. Hillview B&B is located at the far end of this road
Activities on Skye:
Hillview B&B is ideally located for exploring both the Isle of Skye
or the nearby Scottish mainland. Popular local activities include hill
walking, climbing, sightseeing around Skye, fishing, golf, kayaking and
cycling.
For the less energetic the cottage is perfectly located for some gentle
walks along the Broadford village or around the bay to Irishman's point.
Just outside of the village is a recently constructed 17km network of
all-ability footpaths.
Skye is a mecca for climbers and walkers and boasts some of the most stunning
landscapes to be found in the British Isles. Local guides can show you
some of the most spectacular mountains in Scotland or explore the Cuillin
ridge on your own.
Alternatively you can visit the impressive Loch Coruisk carved by ice
in the heart of the Cuillins by taking a boat trip on the "Misty
Isle" or "Bella Jane" from the fishing village of Elgol.
Skye is also a fantastic place to see some rare and unusual wildlife.
If you are lucky you may see the elusive otters which hunt in Broadford
bay. In the mountains you may see Golden Eagles or the extremely rare
white tailed Sea Eagle which nest in small numbers on Skye.
Around the coast you may see numerous common and grey seals.
Occasionally dolphins and porpoises visit the bay and boat trips to see
minke whale and basking sharks are also possible.
The Skye Serpentarium is a short walk from Hillview and is a popular local
attraction especially with children wishing to handle snakes!
For evening entertainment around Broadford there are
several restaurants and pubs in easy walking distance from the house.
For example the Bistro restaurant at the local Broadford Hotel, the Claymore
Inn and Creeler's restaurant all offer fresh local food.
For a special meal there is the world famous Three Chimneys restaurant
in north Skye or Lady Claire MacDonald's Kinloch Lodge, a short drive
from Broadford.
