Drynoch Farmhouse sits majestically on the shoreline of the Loch Harport and River Drynoch Estuary. It is the main base of a working hill farm, which has been in the Campbell family since 1925. We stock over 400 Blackface sheep and have 16 head of Beef cattle. We pride ourselves on being one of the few ‘Traditional’ old style farmhouse B&B’s on Skye. This gives our guests a very homely atmosphere where they can feel comfortable in either our spacious ‘Family’ room, which has two single beds and a double bed, or our Double Room. Both bedrooms have fantastic views out over the Drynoch Estuary and look towards both the Red Cuillins and the Black Cuillins. Or why not just take a few moments and listen to the silence… and relax, in front of a real coal fire in our guest lounge after a hard days sight seeing!
