Situated on the Isle of Skye, Breakish cottage is close to a number of popular tourist attractions, such as Armadale Castle and Clan Donald Centre. There are numerous other castles, mountains and tourist hotspots.

Food & Drink

The closest shop is in Broadford just a few miles away, which is open 7 days a week. Restaurants are plentiful in the local area, the closest being The Red Skye restaurant. We highly recommend a 30 minute trip over to Plockton to dine at fine restaurants such as Plockton Shores or the Plockton Inn. If you fancy travelling a little further afield, there’s some top quality nosh to be had at the Three Chimneys and the Loch Bay Restaurant, both on the Isle of Skye.

Outdoor Activities

If the outdoors are your thing, you’re in the perfect place. We’re surrounded by vast natural expanses, rolling hills and all of nature’s finest flora and fauna.

Walking and hiking are popular activities, with the infamous Cuillin Mountains only a few miles away, it’s an easily accessible way of witnessing the stunning vistas the area has to offer. Find more information at WalkScotland.co.uk or WalkHighlands.co.uk.

There are various local sea-faring activities in the local area, such as AquaXplore and Bella Jane.

Mountain biking is another popular way of exploring the local area, with famous trails such as The Quiraing, Sligachan, Torridon and Kintail, all within an hour’s drive. You can find more information about where to ride at Trail Forks and Komoot.

If you are planning on spending some time outdoors in the summer months, always make sure that you apply some insect repellent to combat the insatiable midges. If you have never experienced a full-on midge attack, they can really ruin your day if caught out, so don’t say we haven’t warned you!
