Ardvasar Hotel, Isle Of Skye, Inverness-Shire, IV45

The Inn at Àird a' Bhàsair is situated on the southern tip of the Isle of Skye off the west coast of Scotland. Skye can be accessed by car via the road bridge to Lochalsh to the north of the hotel (30 mins drive) with a ferry service from Mallaig on the mainland providing direct services to Armadale less than half a mile to the north of Ardvasar.

Skye is the largest of the islands within the Inner Hebrides and is probably the most popular island tourist destination in Scotland, with over 600,000 annual visitors. The island is famous among hillwalkers for its dramatic scenery and walks including the Cuillin Range which offers 12 Munros (mountains over 3000 feet). Outdoor enthusiasts can also enjoy less strenuous walks across the island with other popular spots including the Fairy Pools walk and the impressive Old Man of Storr rock formation.
