To check the ferry times, costs and to book, you can go to Caledonian MacBrayne N.B please be aware if you are using SATNAV you may be directed to Mallaig rather than Kyle of Lochalsh and the Skye bridge.

By car- Direction to the house from Kylerhea via Glenelg
From Easter to October you can take a small car ferry from Glenelg on the mainland to Kylerhea on Skye. It might not be the quickest route, but the drive over to Glenelg is sensational, and the ferry crossing is worth the detour.www.skyeferry.co.uk
