Hey guys,
I'm planning a wee 3 day get away with the missus in June and I'm very excited to get up to Skye which is somewhere neither of us have been. I've got the typical list of things I think we should see namely,
The fairy pools is no1 as its' been on her bucket list for ages
The Quiraing, if the weather permits as it looks super photogenic
Neist Point
Loch Poolteil
Milovaig Pier, heard that its a good spot for the summer 'midnight sunset'
Dunvegan Castle
Would like to know a couple of things from anyone thats been there.
- Most importantly, a good B&B! Budget is about £100 a night (can push it a little if its worth it), the missus isn't from the UK so would like to give her an authentic taste so good views, an open fireplace and good grub is priority over room luxury, accessibility, etc.
- Best places to spot some wildlife? Would like to get to see some otters at the least, hopefully some deer too
- Some easy walks that I can take her with. She's not so much the outdoors type but if the weather is good I really want to do a wee loop around The Quiraing at the least. How is the walking, challenging or easy going? We're both pretty fit (actually she's fitter but don't tell her) but she won't have proper walking footwear or waterproofs if it fouls up.
- I'll be driving from Glasgow, anything of particular interest worth detouring / stopping for? Figured we'd take a pause at Fort William and I can point her to Ben Nevis. Any quiet scenic stopping points on one of the many lochs up to Skye?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated! Trip planning always stresses me out, especially when I get on to tourist websites, so it'd be awesome to get some first person feedback from anyone that's been.
Cheers,
Stu
