TWO well-respected Staffin businesses are the latest additions to join the district’s online business listings this week.
The Staffin Campsite and Kilmartin Restaurant are now featured on the Staffin Business Directory http://staffin-trust.co.uk/staffin-directory which showcases what there is on offer on the east-side of Trotternish. It has steadily grown since its launch and features a range of businesses from shops, places to eat and stay, or to and purchase gifts (and watch them being made) and specific services, such as construction. Their inclusion means there are now 12 Staffin businesses featured.
The campsite at Greincle, run by Ally and Norma Young, has been welcoming visitors from all over the world for 40 years and has undertaken some recent infrastructure improvement to ensure it is looking the best for the current season. It is the only campsite in Staffin and has pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes with excellent modern facilities and a scenic setting looking out to Staffin Bay. Morag MacKenzie has run the popular Kilmartin, which is based at the Staffin Hall complex, for several years now, supported by an efficient and friendly local staff. The restaurant is open Monday to Saturday and has a comprehensive and enticing menu for all times of the day.
