Algonquin nr Eilean Donan Castle, Dornie by Kyle

A spacious upstairs bedroom with adjacent private bathroom, both overlook loch & garden and command stunning views toward Isle of Skye. 5 min walk to castle which can just be seen from garden, wildlife on occasion too...great spot to enjoy your aperitif! Village pubs serve fab food. CHECK OPENING DURING WINTER. Bakery and pizza to go nearby. The village shop has temporarily closed. Lovely views of castle and Five Sisters from local hill. Good central base to explore Skye, Plockton & Wester Ross. Hi there - I'm Jennifer and I offer a large and spacious bedroom which boasts a comfy king size bed, free wifi, telly (though everyone watches netflix these days!), complimentary hospitality tray, lovely views over the water and use of my private garden. Private, adjacent bathroom is large with powerful shower, bath and again lovely views as you brush your teeth! Breakfast includes home baking too! One of my daughters stays every now and then depending on work committments so you may or may not see her....other than that it's just me so a reasonably quiet household. Algonquin offers bed and breakfast and whilst I'm happy to be helpful it isn't self catering accommodation. I'm happy to store your wine/lunch items in my fridge and don't mind you accessing it. Guests are welcome to enjoy the front garden and picnic seating area. Great that you can walk along to the castle in the evening after your dinner or up the local hill for stunning views of Kyle of Lochalsh and the Skye bridge in one direction and the five sisters mountains in the other - only ten minutes plus away and make for beautiful sunsets! There is a bar with outdoor seating in the hotel and the local pub serves great food though busy so best to book. A take-away at the catle and pizza across the bridge at local bakery complete the food and drink in the immediate vicinity. Of course you can always enjoy a drink in the front garden - you might even spot an otter, seal or heron. There is a train station in Kyle of Lochalsh - 9 miles away and a national bus service from Glasgow/Inverness to Kyle and up to Uig on Skye which passes top of the road - 5 minute or so walk away. Best to have own vehicle though for ease of travel as transport links can be sporadic. Follow the A87 to Kyle of Lochalsh....Dornie is just off the A87 , 9 miles before Kyle. You do not need to cross to Skye on Armadale ferry unless you want to....just that some gps systems send you that route.
