On the shores of Loch Alsh, Balmacara Hotel is just a 5-minute drive from Kyle of Lochalsh, the main crossing point to the Isle of Skye.

Such a beautiful place! The staff was super friendly, kind, and very helpful. The rooms were super clean and the beds were very comfy. Beautiful views, as well. The food was also very delicious! Definitely recommend. Would stay here again!
With traditional rooms and a cozy bar, this hotel offers free parking and fine dining. The Kyle Hotel is located in the Kyle of Lochalsh, the gateway to the Isle of Skye.

Excellent stay overall thanks.
No fried eggs at breakfast! Just because a cooked breakfast is self-service, does not mean that the eggs have to be scrambled! Hotels in Norway normally have friend eggs on a hot plate, as does Premier Inn here.
Located in Kyle of Lochalsh and with Kyle of Lochalsh reachable within a 2-minute walk, The Skye Bridge Hotel provides a terrace, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar.

Great staff; quiet room, just what I needed-I was only there one night and left early am.
Close to the Skye Bridge in Kyleakin village, the Kings Arms dates back to the 1600s and has panoramic views across Kyle of Lochalsh to the mainland.

Good value. Had breakfast and dinner available. There was easy parking. Easy to find and get to. Staff was friendly, the sheets were soft and large fluffy towels.
Offering a garden, Heatherbrae Cosy Wooden Pod offers accommodations in Kyle of Lochalsh. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking, and free Wifi.

Plockton is a very small attractive sheltered spot, we visited it out of season, but the weather was really quite pleasant. Perhaps it wouldn't suit someone looking for a lively time but we enjoyed an evening in the bar listening to a local live band and enjoying local food and drink.

Plockton is a tiny fishing village near the Kyle of Lochalsh...
Plockton is a tiny fishing village near the Kyle of Lochalsh. It was made famous for its use in the 1973 cult horror classic The Wicker Man, where it doubled as Summerisle harbour, where the protagonist of the film played by Edward Woodard arrived in his aeroplane. It has hardly changed in 52 years which is the beauty of the place. It has a couple of really good restaurants and bars and it's the perfect location for a quiet getaway. It is well worth checking out Calum's Seal Tours where you are guaranteed to see some seals or your money back. On my visit we were very lucky to see a humpback whale nearby too!
I highly recommend the Plockton Hotel which has a delicious menu of hot meals, and there is a good selection of real ales too. There is also The Plockton Inn and a fish and chip shop but it is closed at the end of the summer season. Also, a little place out of the way that sells takeaway food called Off The Croft Takeaway. If you are renting a property for your short stay, there is a small shop in the village, but otherwise a 7 mile drive to Kyle of Lochalsh is in order.

We went to Plockton in the year 2000 and really like it so we made a diversion of the NC500 to go back.
But we had a problem finding places to eat all the hotels and resturants were fully booked. Luckily there was a fish and chip shop open, the next night we had dinner at lunch time so I sugrgest you pre book before you go

Small little and nice town but with nothing to do.
Small little and nice town but with nothing to do.
It is remorse from everything, the closest gas station is 8 mile away, there are only two restaurants serving only dinner, nothing for lunch except fish&chips from a fish&chips bar, youbhave to book table god knows when before the dining time in order to get a table...The town has no food store, you can not buy a bottle of watter anywhere.
BOTTOM LINE: STAY AWAY FROM THIS TOWN!
(Please be advised: I traveled alone, had i've been with a family for sure we would remain without dinner)

Plockton is attractive and charming, but difficult to get in and out of due to the number of single-track roads. Its popularity is its downfall - it ends up becoming crowded and awkward to get around. In addition, there is very little to do here unless you're a boater. If you are looking for a genuine get-away, chances are you won't be getting away if you come here.

It’s a beautiful little place with two good pubs serving real ales and excellent food. Well worth spending a couple of nights.
The surrounding area is very picturesque.
We’ll placed for walkers.
The weather is typically Scottish!
