The guesthouse was well located for all activities and places to eat. The guesthouse was very clean and we had a lovely breakfast. Jane and Jordan who were our hosts do an excellent job of running this property and making you feel so welcome. They are an irreplaceable asset to this guesthouse. We wish them all the best of everything. Highly recommend a stay at this guesthouse. You won’t be disappointed.

Loved everything.

My top three are the kind hosts, the daily breakfast, and the shower! The bed was also very comfortable and room suitable space for just me (I booked the single). The other guests were also very courteous about quiet hours, which I appreciated! (fantastic water pressure and temp)

I honestly can’t think of anything. Highly recommend.

The hosts are great and will help you as much as possible. From giving hiking / dining advice to even drying our clothes after getting soaked. The rooms are very clean, great beds and an amazing view. The B&B is in a central location for all sights in Skye, whilst being in a very quiet area. It has a very relexed living room with sofa's and a fireplace to warm up. Thank you Kenny and Laura for giving us a great vacation in Skye!

There were no negatives to be found.

When we first arrived, we were greeted by Jayne(the host). Very lovely lady who helped us with checking in. Plenty space to park outside the Guest house. Our room was very lovely, clean and tidy. We had an ensuite toilet with shower which was very modern and again clean. I forgot to take a picture, but had lovely pictures and the view was lovely as well. The lounge and dining room are beautifully set out. The Guesthouse is about 8 minutes out from Portree centre. If you want to get a taxi, I recommend BWS Taxis. Brian and his son are both really lovely and helpful. Their prices are reasonable as well. They got us into Portree and back again. In the morning, we had a lovely hot shower, then headed down for breakfast. We were greeted by both hosts, Jordan and Jayne. The full cooked breakfast was delicious. We asked for Hash Brown with ours which they accommodated despite it not being on the menu. The poached egg was cooked to perfection and the Mushroom was outstanding(I would easily eat more of those). It kept us going all day. The hosts were amazing and if it hadn't been for Storm Ashley paying a visit, we were going to make a day of it on the Island. Unfortunately, we had to head back to mainland. Summary This charming guesthouse comes highly recommended. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making you feel right at home. You'll appreciate the attention to detail and the cozy accommodations. This guesthouse is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day. Don't hesitate to book your stay – you won't be disappointed! Nothing is too much for Jayne and Jordan. Great Hosts.

The bed was a little harder than I am used to, but that is a very minimal complaint and would still stay here again easily.

The property is pretty secluded on a narrow road, we were splendidly amazed at the remoteness of it, and the feeling of being in the Scottish Highlands - just wonderful! Check in was a breeze. Info was in an envelope in the foyer, we had no problems. Jayne met us as we were going into our room and helped us with additional helpful details. She was very pleasant and even helped with tips on hikes to the Old Man of Storr and the Quiraing. Our room (#7) was fabulous! We had a great view of fields and mountains with a bonus of some horses out back. The room was clean and very comfy. The breakfast was wonderful. You order what you want and it's ready for you the next morning. Both Jayne and Jordan were very attentive to their guests. We even heard Jordan singing Elton John's 'Tiny Dancer' as he cooked - added bonus! We would absolutely positively stay here again and again and again!

The property is in the countryside, out of the hustle and bustle of Portree. My room was very small but there was a lounge for use by guests in the evenings. The hosts were nice and helped me find a quiet walk. The breakfast was very good. Ensuite bathroom was good as well.

The double bed in the single room was nice but left little space for moving around, so I bumped my head a few times. The single track road to the guest house was scary driving at night (although fine during daytime).

The location was serene. Being vegan I loved that vegan sausages were an option. The easy of parking. The very friendly hostess was delightful.

The bedroom had two beds but only one nightstand on the far side. It was very inconvient but I could see there was not alot of room to work with. It would have bean great to have a milk alternative like oatmilk on the breakfast bar for coffee and cereals. They may have had some in the kitchen but I don't like asking. I didn't like the sign as you enter the building to take off shoes. I was freezing and I felt like I was breaking the rules.

We loved the quiet, rural location which was only 3 miles from Portree. It was fun to see the sheep and cows wander along the road. The house had a comfortable lounge area for guests to relax in. Our hosts were wonderful! Jayne was cheerful and always happy to make suggestions and provide tips about exploring the area. Chef Jordan provided a superb breakfast every morning and our packed lunch was tasty and generous. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with them!

Nothing.

It had great views, the breakfast was delicious and they give you the possibility to buy lunch (that is a complete sandwich, fruits, water and sweet treat) for a good price, so that you can eat while visiting Skye. The location is great, near the city but with privacy, and the hosts are really friendly!

Since it is a house, you may hear other guests walking around or packing. But, people are usually caring and respect the silence hours.
