Welcome to Altvaid Bed & Breakfast Harlosh, by Dunvegan, Isle of Skye
Peacefully located on the Harlosh Peninsular and only minutes from Dunvegan Castle, Altvaid B&B is ideal for exploring the northern and western corners of Skye, if not the entire island.
The breathtaking scenery will inspire you no matter where you go in Skye. With ample outdoor activities, tourist destinations to enjoy and fantastic tales of Highland history to unravel, it’s an experience you’re sure to treasure.
All our guests can be assured of a hearty breakfast with your choice of an English, Scottish, Continental, Vegetarian or Vegan menu.
From your breakfast table, enjoy either a stunning view stretching across Loch Bracadale to the magnificent McLeod’s Tables, or if you prefer less view and more flowers, you are most welcome to eat out in the enclosed rose garden.

Location - How to Find Us
From the Skye Bridge
It will take you just under an hour. Follow the signs to Portree (A87) as far as Sligachan Hotel and camping grounds and then take the left turn toward Dunvegan (A863). Continue for 13 miles. 4 miles after the village of Struan you’ll find the (Feolig) Harlosh loop road turn-off on the left hand side of the road. Follow that around the peninsular to a T-intersection (with a telephone booth to your left). Turn right and continue 1 mile. Altvaid B&B is just beyond the first crest on your right featuring a bridge and pond in the front garden.
From Portree
It will take about 35 minutes. Leaving Portree on the A87 travel 4 miles before turning left onto the A850 and follow the road all the way to the Dunvegan. Turn hard left onto the A863 and continue through Dunvegan for 3 miles to the sign posted (Vatten) Harlosh loop road turn-off. Follow the road for approximately 2 miles just before the crest of the second hill. Altvaid B&B is on your left.
