Clouds B&B

We are Steve and Lorraine Nolan. We live here at Clouds with our son Archie, our puppy Chloe and an interchanging menagerie of animals. We try to be as kind as we can be to the planet on which we live, but room for improvement is always there, and that’s fine - it gives us something new to strive for. We try to grow our own vegetables with varying degrees of success. We generate some of our own electricity through solar panels on our land and all our hot water to the house is provided by an air source heat pump. We aim to cut all single use plastic we use ourselves and which we offer to our guests by providing filtered water in glass containers, rather than in plastic bottles, and we provide recyclable bags and containers whenever we can. We’d love to learn from anyone with good ideas about sustainable ways to live, but everyone has their own way, and we respect this. We hope you enjoy your time here. We'd love to chat to you about your experiences as we also love to travel when we can - we've taken 'Benny' our campervan to Europe on a few occasions.

Clouds B&B offers a warm welcome to couples, family groups or friends travelling together on the Isle of Skye, up to a maximum of 7 people. We are based 18 miles north of Portree, in the township of Linicro on the Trotternish peninsula, 4 miles north of Uig and it's Ferry port to the Western Isles. We're in an ideal location for exploring this wonderful island. Trotternish contains some of the most striking landscapes in all of Scotland, including the famous Old Man of Storr, The Quiraing, Kilt Rock, Duntulm and much more, all within 20-40 minutes drive of Clouds. Children will love The Fairy Glen, Staffin Beach & the Dinosaur footprints at Brothers Point. Stunning landscapes such as The Fairy Pools, Cuilin Hills, Elgol, Coral Beach, Talisker Bay and Distillery & Neist Point are are all easily reachable. There are loads of high quality cafe’s, galleries, restaurants, activity centres and much more in this area of the island and further afield. *** Please note:- We offer guests a 'CONTINENTAL-STYLE' breakfast, NOT a COOKED breakfast - We do not serve any meat - Breakfast is made available in guest rooms*** We very much look forward to welcoming you ..

Linicro is perfect for those who like to relax and enjoy nature. Clouds B&B is surrounded by 4 acres of land, so there are no immediate neighbours. It's possible to walk, cycle or run straight from the property, as long as care is taken with traffic on the single-track road - it isn't that busy. There is an activity centre just 200 metres away where kayaks, bikes, walks, co-steering and the like can all be arranged. The people of this area are kind and friendly - the local 'industry' is crofting (farming), so at certain times of year you're as likely to see sheep or cows being herded down the road as you are to see cars or lots of people. Most of all, this area has the freshest of fresh air - You're surrounded by it everywhere. It's a beautiful place to live, and to visit. There are restaurants, take-aways, cafes, shops and a petrol station in Uig, just 4 miles away. The main town of Portree has all you'd expect in a small sized town. We'd be delighted to answer any questions you have in advance of your stay with us.
