Trekking along Skye's coast calls for a hot shower in the ground-floor shower room, where you can rinse off the day before climbing the stairs for bed. You'll find a double and a twin with sloped ceilings, storage space, dressing tables and wonderful views across rolling hills and stretches of grassland. Peinora House also offers family-friendly holidays with a highchair, cot and folding bed are available on request. A handy first-floor cloakroom has a basin and WC to quickly freshen up for the day.
