Following an extremely successful first year (2018), we are delighted to announce that "Egroeg" will be available for B&B in 2019. If, like us, you like to explore the less well-know parts of Skye - whilst still being within easy travel of the "hot-spots" - then we invite you to join us for an experience that we hope you will find both relaxing & memorable. Note: For "repeat" guests we are pleased to offer our rooms at our "2018" rates - please let us know if you have stayed with us before. GoToStKilda - For visitors planning on making the trip out to St. Kilda, Egroeg B&B is only 5 minutes drive from the slipway at Stein. If you are interested in using Egroeg B&B as a "base" for your trip, please do get in touch.
About Egroeg:
Egroeg - Egroeg is a contemporary, architect designed, “upside down” house – with three guest bedrooms on the ground floor and superb views - across The Minch, to N. Uist & Harris - from the split-level first floor, where the living-area and kitchen-dining area are all seamlessly integrated into a large open-plan living space.
A wood-burning stove completes the exclusive ambiance …
Location - Lochbay is located on the Waternish peninsula - the following distances & times may be of use;
Bedrooms – Two “double” (en-suite shower-bath) and one “twin” (en-suite shower). All bedrooms are carpeted throughout and have built-in cupboards, complete with storage baskets available for guests use during their stay.
En-suite - Complementary toiletries – Scottish Soaps (Sea Kelp). Bathrobes available on request.

Children – The open plan design of the first floor includes a low wall (100cm) between the lounge and the stair-well. Therefore, we regret we cannot accept bookings for family groups that include minors (less than 16 years old).
