- marina bI stayed at Salty Towers because I was attending a wedding at Dornie Hall. The location was perfect, only a short walk from the hall and also a great base for exploring the surrounding area. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and had a lovely breakfast area with a great selection. The views were also stunning! But the highlight of my stay was Lesley, who was very friendly and went over and above to make sure I was comfortable and happy, even offering to take photos of me on the day of the wedding and putting drinks and snacks in my room for the morning after. Thank you very much for your kindness Lesley!

- Monica CWe stayed at Salty Towers when visiting the Isle ok Skye. Lesley is a lovely host, welcoming and friendly; she was extremely helpful and gave us good advice on what to do and see on Skye. The accommodation was clean, the room was spacious and warm, and the breakfast room was well supplied with everything we needed. I’m looking forward to coming back in the future and I definitely recommend it!

- walter tNot only the best named B&B ever, but this gem of a place is run by the most lovely couple you'll encounter in Kyle. I had a weekend up there last week as a last minute trip and Lesley couldn't have been more accommodating. From giving advice of where to eat , what to see and do to booking a table for us at the local pub , Lesley and Ali really went over and above to help me at every turn. The rooms are spacious and spotless and the breakfast room had all you'd ever want or need to set you up for the day. It's a great base to enjoy a beautiful area and you'll certainly not be disappointed with choice of B&B abd hosts. Thanks

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.
