Kyleakin
Isle of Skye
Isle of Skye Skye & Lochalsh IV41 8PH United Kingdom

Skye Backpackers is located in the picturesque fishing village of Kyleakin and is surrounded by mountains and sea.

It's a small, cozy hostel with an open fire in the lounge, a lovely backyard garden, great self-catering kitchen and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Kyleakin is the perfect base for exploring this magnificent Island and, unlike larger settlements on Skye, it is small enough to allow you to meet the friendly locals, enjoy a lively pub scene and above all, experience the tranquillity of its stunning seaside location.
