Cloisters

Top choice in North & West Coast


Superbly located Cloisters has three en suite rooms by an artistically converted church and absolutely brilliant views over the Kyle of Tongue and offshore islands; you'll never tire of the vista. The breakfast room takes advantage of it; the courteous hosts can also arrange evening meals. From Tongue, cross the causeway and turn right towards Melness; Cloisters is a couple of miles.

Check if they can take credit cards when booking as banking services are problematic out here.
