The sitting room has a multi-fuel stove/open fire (as well as an electric heater) and comfortable sofas and chairs providing a cosy place for passing those wet or midgy Skye evenings! There is a selection of books, as well as cards, jigsaw puzzles and games.. There is no television. The reception is poor, but some people have brought their own portables and have had some success (the most successful using an outside aerial, but beware as the winds can be fierce.)
