How to get here

By Car

From the Skye bridge, take the A87 signposted Portree and Uig.  At a road junction on the outskirts of Portree (34 miles)  the A87 turns left and continues towards Uig.  Continue along here for another 8 miles and you will reach the village of Kensaleyre.  At this point you Loch Eyre, a sea-loch, begins on your left, as in the picture above.  Shortly after this you will see a road off to the right signposted Eyre.  Turn up here and Cruinn Bheinn is the third house on the right.  You will see the B&B sign outside the house.

If you are coming off the Western Isles Ferry at Uig, follow the traffic off the ferry along the A87 (signposted Portree) for about 8 miles.  You will know when you've reached Kensaleyre by the 40 mph speed restriction signs.  Look out for the road to Eyre off to the left and continue as above.
