We stayed here on our honeymoon - very exciting getting to the island over the pontoon. more exciting coming back in the dark, after a few pints at the inn, but still good fun! Very welcoming, and sooo peaceful. Lovely to wake up in the monring and look out of the window across the bay. Badachro inn does fantastic food, and there is another restaurant just across from the b&b, too. The owners can book you in if you ask. can't recommend it highly enough.

Returned again this year to Dry Island B&B. Had a wonderful few days at this beautiful and unique location. The bed and breakfast house is reached via a floating bridge from the lovely village of Badachro. The accommodation is great and you are made to feel very welcome and a hearty cooked Scottish breakfast awaits you in the morning. The surrounding area is fantastic and is perfect for walkers and those who enjoy the outdoor life. The local inn is also within walking distance.
All in all, if Carlsburg did unique, beautiful highland breaks........

A wonderful few days spent in a beautiful location. We had clear blue skies and views across to the islands. Having walked across to the island in the dark, we awoke to a misty morning looking across the loch, no one else in sight. Dry Island's also within easy reach of the Torridon hills, allowing us to combine days by the water with days in the hills.

We were made to feel very welcome and had a fantastic holiday.

We stayed here for a week on a bed and breakfast basis and it was fantastic. The accomodation is situated on its own island in the middle of loch Gairloch, and is reached by a floating bridge.
The situation was idillic; the room was well furnished and comfortable with tea and coffee facilities (and had lots of information about local amenities); the welcome was excellent; and the breakfast kept us going for most of the day.
The families and couple staying on the self catering cottages also appeared to be having a wonderful break with good facilities.
This is an ideal place for walkers, wildlife enthusiasts, or those who just want a quiet break away (perhaps honeymooners), and is only 1 and half hours drive from inverness airport on mostly good roads (it looks further) but you do need a car to get there easily.
Due to its situation it would not be accessible for those with mobility issues.
