Moeraki stands within it’s own fully enclosed garden with plenty
of space to play and gated access directly onto the shore.
Kids of all ages will find plenty to fascinate them clambering over the rocks and exploring the pools as the tide goes out; and further along the shore it is sandy with access to two small islands at low tide.
All bed linen, towels, oil central heating and electricity is included.
A travel cot, high chair and basic feeding equipment are available and
broadband WiFi can be booked.
A house-holders deposit is required for all bookings which will be returned
subject to the property being left as it was found.
We do accept one well behaved dog provided that when it comes into the
house, it is only kept in the Utility and
Back Porch areas at all times, (there is a warm and comfortable area
for sleeping here next to the tumble drier). Dogs must never be left in
the house unattended and all dog mess must be cleaned up from the garden.
Any cleaning required, damage or mess caused by dogs will be made good
and paid for out of the house-holders deposit.
Moeraki is ideally located for exploring all of Skye
and being just 10 minutes from the Skye Bridge, many places can easily
be visited on the west coast within a day.
The area offers a wealth of visitor attractions including castles, museums and boat tours; and there are many things to do including land sailing, golf, pony trekking, cycling and fishing.
The Isle of Skye is justly famous for the exceptional landscapes it provides for walking, climbing and sea kayaking.
Moeraki also provides great opportunities to watch wildlife from the
house as well as further afield.
From the lounge or out on the decking relax and soak up the ever changing
views; enjoy a glass of wine in the evening watching the sunset over the
island of Scalpay and the evening light over the mountains of Applecross.

By Rail:
There are two rail routes that can be booked, the easiest being to Kyle
of Lochalsh via Inverness (with the opportunity of an overnight sleeper
from London to Inverness) and the other is regarded as one of the Great
Railway Journeys of the World from Glasgow to Mallaig via Fortwilliam.
Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh: The rail journey from Inverness to Kyle
of Lochalsh is very scenic and takes about 2 ½ hours.
From here there are regular Stagecoach buses (Bus route Kyle of Lochalsh
to Portree) to Broadford that will stop at the top of our short lane,
a Taxi journey would take 10 minutes, or you can hire a car.
Glasgow to Mallaig: This rail adventure takes over five hours, but is
worthwhile in daylight and good visibility. In addition to the regular
train service, the Jacobite steam engine operates during the summer months
between Fort William and Mallaig.
From here you need to take a ferry to Armadale, (30 mins) Check Calmac
Ferry connections and timetables.
From Armadale it is 20 minutes by taxi, (see below) or there is a regular
30 minute bus ride from the pier to Broadford where you can be dropped
off at the end of the lane. (Bus route Armadale to Portree).
By Bus:
There are regular Citylink Buses from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Inverness
to Portree, which stop in Broadford and you can request the driver to
drop you off at the end of our lane.
By Car:
The most direct route from the south is via Glasgow, up alongside Loch
Lomond, onto Tyndrum, and Fort William via Glencoe. From Fort William
follow signs to Spean Bridge, Invergarry, and Kyle of Lochalsh. Moeraki
is just 10 minutes from here; over the famous Skye Bridge, (which is now
toll free), proceeding along the A87 for 8 miles towards Broadford.
An alternative route is to follow the A9 from Perth towards Inverness
and at Dalwhinnie, (just after Drumochter Pass) cut across to Spean Bridge
on the A86 to join the A82 to Invergarry and on to Kyle of Lochalsh as
above.
