I imagine that Dave (Isle of Skye) might have an idea! His site is here (http://photography.info).

Perhaps the most wonderful place I have ever stayed is tne Three Chimneys on Skye and the food is unbelievable.  The Kinloch Lodge is also marvellous and Lady Claire MacDonald's recipies are exquisite as is her hospitality.  If he is still there visit Teo the spinner in Carbost.  You might also enjoy the Talisker distillery there.  Try not to miss Plockton (great photo opportunities) whrere there are a couple of great pubs for sleeping and especially eating.

Enjoy Skye,

Alan Bentsen

I stayed at the Picture House (http://www.skyepicturehouse.com) for a week and can recommend it from both the location and service/rates. The Sligachan Hotel (http://www.sligachan.co.uk/) would be a better situated, but more costly place to stay.

Jeremy - thanks for the plug, much appreciated  :)

I can also give you all the directions to all the best known locations and quite a few of the not so well known locations.
Here is a link to the rooms we have (http://www.photography.info/index5.htm), room 1 has the best views of Castle Moil and Lochalsh (http://www.photography.info/CastleMoil.jpg)

My dear wife is also an excellent cook and does an amazing full Scottish breakfast.. yum yum!

I stayed at Dave's place for 3 nights recently:

1. Great value.
2. Good breakfasts!
3. Location near the bridge from the mainland so it gives great options for Kintail (30 minutes lovely drive) as well as the whole of Skye.
4. I liked the friendly efficient Indian restaurant 5 minutes walk away.
