Stay in Glenview our b&b next to the shop
Welcome to The Glenview Bed and Breakfast — home of Shilasdair Yarns and Earth & Skye Yoga. Tucked away in the hills of the north-eastern corner of the Isle of Skye, on the Trotternish Peninsula, it’s a quiet place surrounded by some of the island’s most recognisable landmarks — the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock, the Trotternish Ridge, and the cliffs of the Quiraing.
We are a small, friendly, and creative team with a shared interest in food, craft, and hospitality. The house brings together the different parts of what we do — the bed and breakfast, the Shilasdair dye house and shop, and the yoga studio — all under one roof on this part of Skye.
Stay at our skye b&B
Rooms
We have two spacious king bedrooms at the front of the building, both ensuite and comfortable. Each stay includes Simon’s freshly prepared breakfast — porridge, homemade bread, marmalade, jams, and cooked options using our own hens’ eggs and other local produce.
The Glenview Garden Studio offers a little more independence. It has its own entrance and garden, with a king-size bed, small kitchen area, and ensuite bathroom. Please note that breakfast is not included with studio stays.
Location
We are on the Trotternish Peninsula — the top right-hand corner of Skye — sixteen miles north of Portree and four miles south of Staffin, in the township of Culnacnoc. The house sits just off the A855 and can be seen from the road.
You can reach the island by road or sea. The Skye Bridge offers the quickest route, though Calmac ferries run from Mallaig to Armadale in the south and from Uig to the Outer Hebrides in the north, about half an hour’s drive from Glenview. A smaller ferry also crosses from Glenelg to Kylerhea — a slower but very scenic option if you have time.
Breakfast at Glenview
Breakfast is served in the dining room between 8 and 9 a.m. Help yourself to fruit, cereals, Simon’s homemade granola, and seasonal compote, followed by cooked dishes including porridge, a full Scottish breakfast, vegetarian options, and fish specials.
The Glenview is a quiet base from which to explore Skye and the working home of Shilasdair Yarns. Guests often visit the dye house and shop next door, meet the makers, and see how local materials and colour come together — all just a short walk from their room.
