We have always had an affinity for Scotland and have enjoyed many holidays exploring different areas. We found ourselves being drawn back to the Isle of Skye with its rugged landscape and welcoming inhabitants.
In 2017 we decided to put our dream of moving to Skye, and running a Bed and Breakfast, into action. Firstly we attended a course on how to run a Bed and Breakfast run by The Bed and Breakfast Academy. After that we signed up for a bread making course, and can now offer our guests tasty freshly baked bread.
There were a wide choice of properties available, but Millburn had us hooked. It has a strong presence, welcoming interior and views across to the MacLeods Tables. We purchased Millburn in November 2019 and after necessary building work, and some updating, we moved in on 30th December, 2019, just in time to celebrate Hogmanay in Portree.
We look forward to welcoming you into our home. For you to feel relaxed within its’ thick stone walls, to unwind, enjoy a variety of homemade cakes after exploring the local area and all that it has to offer. We will be on hand to suggest places you and your family might like to visit.
Millburn sits at the edge of Dunvegan village, and is ideally located to explore what Skye has to offer. We are a short drive, or walk, from Dunvegan Castle and gardens. This has been the ancestral home of the Chiefs of clan Macleod for 800 years. We are also half an hour drive from the Talisker Distillery and we have many fine artisans in this area too. Why not take a walk from the front door, no need to take your car, do a circular walk around the area, and call in for lunch at The Dunvegan or Old School Restaurant in the village. In the evening you can book a table here too, or at the The Three Chimney’s just 10 minutes by car. Alternatively you may like to bring your bike and see Skye at a slower pace.
We look forward to welcoming you.
