Had a great stay at Salty Towers last month. Quiet area with beautiful views. Leslie was so friendly & helpful she could not do enough for my partner & myself. Due to covid we had the place to ourselves & it was cleaned to the highest standard. Leslie always made sure there was plenty for us to eat for breakfast with a great variety to start our day. She would tell us the best routes to drive for places we wanted to visit. We will definitely be back next year & hopefully stay longer next time.

Feeling like at home, close to Skye but in a quiet place. 2 good restaurants in walking distance. The position is perfect to visit the island and the applecross peninsula. Breakfast it's super, the price is the lowest i've found in scotland. the owner is really nice and will take care of you. PERFECT!

Had a wonderful stay at Salty Towers, made all the more special by the hosts Lesley and Ali who went above and beyond the call of duty to make our stay so pleasant. The accommodation is fantastic, spotlessly clean, cosy and comfortable. Due to the current Covid situation, they did everything possible to make our stay safe. Rooms were cleaned to an exceptionally high standard, we had our own contained area, with bedroom, shower room and breakfast room, which we were also able to use at any other time of day. There was no shortage of choice of breakfast items, cereals, eggs, bread, cakes, biscuits, croissants, jams and other spreads and fruit. There was a microwave and toaster in the room also which was great. I would highly recommend Salty Towers and I hope to return soon. To Lesley and Ali a huge thank you. Your B&B is a credit to you. xx

Both rooms have their own private bathroom just across the hallway. Twin Room bathroom has a large shower, Double Room bathroom has a smaller shower, but also a bath.

Situated in the beautiful area of Skye and Lochalsh, Salty Towers Bed and Breakfast, overlooked by The Five Sisters of Kintail and Glen Shiel, and a 'stones throw' to Loch Duich and Loch Alsh, is the perfect, peaceful, base to explore the surrounding area.

Kintail National Scenic Area is one of the 40 scenic areas in Scotland, and is considered to encapsulate the scenery of the West Highlands being composed of ridges and peaks that rise steeply from narrow glens and the sea.

A popular hillwalking expedition area, the Five Sisters comprise of 5 distinct summits - Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe, Sgurr na Carnach, Sgurr Fhuaran which are the 3 Munros, and Sgurr nan Saighead & Sgurr na Moraich.

The Ridge continues unbroken to the east where it takes in another further 3 Munros - Sgurr a Bhealaich Dheirg, Saileag & Aonach Meadhoin.

Beinn Fhada (Ben Attow) is the other mountain in the area.

Situated 10 - 15 mins walk to the famous Eilean Donan Castle which can be seen from the driveway, and only 15 minutes drive to the Skye Bridge, and The Jurassic Island of Skye.

There you can experience The Cuillins Mountain Range, The Old Man of Storr, The Quirang, The Fairy Pools and Fairy Glen, Dunvegan Castle, Armadale Castle, Coral Bay, Talisker Bay and the Talisker Distillery, Niest Point Lighthouse, and also go looking for dinosaur footprints at Staffin Bay.

The nearby village of Dornie, 10 - 15 walk (same route as Castle), has a local, family run grocery shop and post office. The Dornie Hotel and Pub has just reopened and is proudly offering a new top quality Seafood Restaurant, as well as a more informal bar menu. Please look at their web site for menu, prices and to book. Booking is essential at this time. The Clachan Bar is also open offering evening meals.

We are situated next door to Manuelas Organic Bakery and Jo,s Pizzeria, and the Award Winning Fairytale Gin Distillery.

We are within striking distance to the picturesque village of Plockton with its famous palm trees and the home of the famous Gaelic Poet, Sorley MacLean.

Nearby is the village of Glen Elg, close to the secret home for many years, of the author Gavin Maxwell and his otters. Famous for many books and university papers, including The Ring Of Bright Water. There is a museum just over the Skye Bridge, in Kyleakin in his memory. Glen Elg area is also home to Iron Age Pictish Brochs, beautifully preserved by Historic Scotland, one of which is the best preserved in the UK. This village is also host to something truly remarkable..... the last surviving Turntable Ferry in the world, where it is still possible to 'sail over the sea to Skye'! A short crossing, but stepping back in time, will see you follow a part of the old 'drovers' routes... this crossing being a perilous part of the journey taking cattle from the Islands to the markets down south!

Low level waterfall walks, shoreline walks, as well as high level harder climbs and long hikes, this area offers something for all, or, just simply just relax in the quietness!

Not far from the NC500 route, Salty Towers can offer an extension to your trip, giving you the chance to explore this beautiful area as an added bonus. A trip to Applecross for the day is also possible, if you dare the infamous 'road'!!

We have a cosy and comfortable Twin Room and Double Room, both with its own private bathroom just across the hallway - towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soap provided. Rooms have their own TV/Dvd and Super fast Wifi. Room is £65 per night including Continental Breakfast, and we are offering a 15% discount if a 5 night stay is booked.

You are welcome to use the Breakfast/Sitting room from 5pm to 9pm in the evenings to bring back takeaway, or heat up soup etc in microwave provided.
