The ETA -what you need to know when coming to (or through) the UK

January 29, 2025 by katie 2 Comments

A new e-document is now required to enter the UK from countries outside Europe. This will be extended to all international travellers from April 2nd of this year. It includes landside transit passengers –but not airside transit passengers.

If you’re not sure if you need one or not you can check here

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-when-you-can-get-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta

Then the government website will take you through what you have to do. If you’re staying with us and you’re having any problems just drop me an email at katieheron1@icloud.com and we’ll see if we can work through it together. It is indeed a vexing piece of red tape but we won’t let it spoil your holiday.

So here are some lovely pictures of the area around our little hotel to remind you why it’s worth a bit more effort to sort it all out.

    Hello,

    I am writing to enquire about availability for a family stay. We are a family of four from France (two adults and our daughters, aged 12 and 14), and we are planning a trip across Scotland this summer.
    We would like to check availability for the nights of 29 July and 30 July.

    Could you please let us know if you have a suitable family room or any other accommodation option for these dates, as well as the rates and booking conditions?
    Thank you very much for your help. We look forward to hearing from you.

    Kind regards, Maite

Welcome

Wouldn’t it be lovely to get away from it all to a Hebridean island where you can relax and unwind,  explore and learn or challenge yourself physically, whatever suits your holiday needs. An island where history and the 21st century combine to give you the best possible experience. The Taigh Ailean team would really like to help you get the most of your time on Skye. From insider tips about the quieter spots to helping you book a swanky lunch to celebrate life, we’re so happy to help.
You’ll find amazing breakfasts, cosy rooms and a warm welcome at the Taigh Ailean Hotel.

We can also help you plan your days, suggest places to eat along your drives and help you make reservations (with enough notice of course :) )
