OurHouseinSkye.com
We are a family, based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, who have owned and loved The Anchorage since we bought it as our holiday home in 2001. We continue to spend many happy times here and we invite discerning guests to enjoy the house as we do.
You won't find any "please do this, please do that" signs in the house - instead, you'll find our books, pictures and objects d'art as if we had invited you into our home.
We have an excellent housekeeper who does a fantastic job of ensuring that you have the cleanest of houses and fresh white linen.
This website is primarily for friends and colleagues who'd prefer to book directly with us for a preferential rate. Please check availability first via the live updated calendar at Airbnb, or Tripadvisor where we are proud of our Certificate of Excellence, based on consistent 5* reviews from previous guests. Please feel free to read them HERE, where you can also access the calendar and prices.
Then please submit your booking request to Richard and Charlotte HERE
WHO WE ARE
Also - our house in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, the gateway to the Cotswolds, is occasionally available and is perfect for the Literature Festival, Jazz Festival and Cheltenham Gold Cup Race Week. You can find more details HERE.
THE AREA
The Anchorage is, in our opinion, perfectly located for enjoying all that Skye has to offer. Kyleakin is just five minutes over the beautiful Skye Bridge, rather than having to continue some distance elsewhere on the island after a long drive.
It is more or less centrally placed, providing easy access to all parts of the island in under an hour.
Most people drive, but access by train to Kyle of Lochalsh from Inverness airport, followed by a five minute taxi ride to the house is an unforgettable experience.
Please note that there is parking, slightly tight, for just one car, but free public parking is available within a minute's walk of the house.
