Dromore is a modern, detached, fully centrally heated house finished to a high standard. It sleeps up to seven people in two double rooms (one with ensuite shower room), a twin (also with ensuite) and a single room. It is situated in a sheltered location near the centre of Broadford, Skye’s second largest settlement. Approximately 9 miles north of the Skye Bridge, Broadford lies on a beautiful curved bay, with a stunning outlook over the sea to the Island of Pabay, the Crowlin Isles and the mainland hills beyond.
Nestling in the shadow of Beinn na Caillich (“hill of the old woman”), Broadford is steeped in history, with origins that date back to a cattle market in the 1700’s, and famous for providing the site (in the Broadford Inn) where Drambuie was originally produced from a recipe passed on by Bonnie Prince Charlie. Nowadays, Broadford is a thriving community with good local amenities, including a supermarket with a 24-hour filling station, a bank, churches, a cottage hospital, artist supplies & bookshop, galleries, a computer shop, and a lovely and varied selection of craft shops, hotels, bars and restaurants.
Broadford is renowned as an excellent base for hill-walking, bird-watching and other outdoor pursuits and, with its beautiful sheltered harbour and two piers, it is also ideal for most water sports and for safe boat moorings. The Island’s capital, Portree, is approximately 25 miles away and here you will find a greater range of amenities including a swimming pool, gyms, cinema, theatre and a selection of other local shops and businesses.
