Traveler Reviews on Isle of Skye

Fernlea

Nov 29, 2008

My wife and I enjoyed 5 nights at this great Guest House just 4 miles from the Skye Bridge in a nice location in Upper Breakish, I greatly enjoyed the ample Scottish Breakfasts and the wife was delighted with the choice of kippers on the menu. The bedrooms were excellent with comfy beds, television,central heating and a more than ample... more

Dunvegan Castle

Nov 22, 2008

We really enjoyed our visit to Dunvegan Castle. The tour was interesting and there were loads of fascinating Jacobite relics including a lock of Bonnie Prince Charlie's hair. The gardens were stunning and very well kept but the seal trip on Loch Dunvegan was an amazing experience. We were taken within a few feet of the seals by a very... more

The Isles Inn

5 of 5 stars
Brisbane, Australia
Nov 20, 2008

My wife wanted to include the Isle of Skye into our last trip as her forebears hail from there. I agreed under duress. (Who's the boss then?). I expected hairy koos and lots of rainy weather. We arrived via the Harry Potter train (Fort William to Mallaigh on the "Lord of the Isles" steam train), then ferry to Armidale, bus... more

Bosville Hotel

Nov 20, 2008

My partner took me to the Bosville Hotel for my birthday. I can honestly say that it was one of the best birthdays I have ever had! All the staff were friendly and efficient. We were welcomed by the reception staff who showed us into the Bistro. It was very busy and there was a real welcoming and happy atmosphere... more

This is a lovely B&B not far from the Skye bridge, John & Iris make a great breakfast , helped us with any questions. There is a front room for guests with an open fire we left with some pampas grass from the garden and a couple of black puddings great time had by all more

Chandlery Restaurant

5 of 5 stars
Midlands
Nov 19, 2008

We were apprehensive about returning to The Chandlery Restaurant on the Isle of Skye after your previous report from a guest. I am delighted we had as we could not find fault with the service whatsoever and the cuisine was indeed up to the highest of standards. We were part of a birthday celebration and we must say that the... more

Braeside Bed and Breakfast

5 of 5 stars
Hartlepool
Nov 19, 2008

First of all it was great to be back on the Isle of Skye, one of the most beautiful places in Scotland. Braeside was an excellent B&B right in the heart of Portree. Handy for pubs and restaurants (recommend the Harbour View seafood restaurant). The accommodation was spotless - we stayed in one of the double rooms with our dog... more

Morar Bed and Breakfast

5 of 5 stars
Preston, Lancashire
Nov 17, 2008

Landed off the ferry at Ardvasar on the Isle of Skye, 4pm Thurs 6th Nov 2008. I enquired with the guy at the local petrol station (who reminded me of an excitable and sadly now missed Richard Whitely off Countdown) where might be a great place to stay in town. Duncan (as was his name) advised me of a lovely... more

Urquhart Caledonian Hotel

Nov 17, 2008

How I like those guys! On the night I stayed at the Caledonian, I had got into a conflict because of the owner the the Bayfield Backpackers (see my review of this hostel for the nature of the conflict), was kicked out of the place by the man. I came knocking at the reception of Caledonian in the evening, all... more

Bayfield Backpackers

1/1 found this review helpful

I've been to this hostel owned by a man who has got a really bad reputation in town and in the hospitality business; however I didn't know this before going, and I learned it myself during my stay. It started when I went hiking with a few guys also staying at the hostel. The weather was terrible so we decided... more

The Old School House

5 of 5 stars
Makawao, Maui, Hawaii
Nov 16, 2008

I spent a few days at the beginning of October (2008) in Skye. Both of my dinners were at The Old School Restaurant. The staff is very cordial, the environment warm and inviting, and the food was excellent. I had no idea that I would have ever found such a greatly cooked meal on Skye. I've eaten at many restaurants... more

Ivybank Villa

Nov 15, 2008

My husband and I spent a wonderful week in Ivybank Villa and were treated like members of the family by the lovely owners, Tom and Tina. Our room was beautifully furnished, very comfortable and quiet with a lovely view of the bay. As a bonus we had the best weather this summer and went home with unexpected suntans! We would... more

Nov 15, 2008

Our stay at the lodge was absolutely delectable. From the moment we entered this cosy and peaceful yet grand and elegant residence we were treated superbly. The warmness of the welcome, the supreme quality of the locally sourced cuisine not to mention the spacious and grand rooms will be fondly remembered and difficult to top as an overall experience. I... more

Skeabost Country House

4 of 5 stars
Ayr, Scotland
Nov 14, 2008

Hotel has undergone some successful upgrading and is looking better than it did in recent years. Staff very attentive and genuinely interested in the guests. Rear and side of the premises, plus the long driveway are in need of attention but this all takes time and money. Breakfasts were well cooked and presented, only downside being that scrambled eggs and... more

Ben Tianavaig Bed & Breakfast

5 of 5 stars
Glasgow, United Kingdom
Nov 14, 2008

Finally getting round to posting this well-deserved good review for a very pleasant stay in a charming guesthouse in Portree. The new owners Charlotte and Bill, made us very welcome and as well as providing great breakfasts were extremely helpful with maps, guides and directions around the island. All told, they were easily the most welcoming and attentive hosts we’ve... more

Flodigarry Country House Hotel

Nov 12, 2008

I have been a massive fan of the Flodigarry for fifteen years and was excited to be staying there again after two years missing my trip to Scotland. We arrived to be met by builders vans and the obvious rebuilding of the conservatory, rather dissapointed that we hadnt been told when booking as I like eating in the conservatory. Pascal... more

Nov 11, 2008

We stayed in this wonderful B & B for 2 days at the end of October 08 along with 2 of our friends. Pam and Ron were the perfect hosts and made us most welcome in their home. The breakfasts were delicious and I highly recommend that you stay in the B & B for Dinner in the evening, which... more

First impressions weren't so bad but it got worse as it went on - the hostel was very clean - the smell of bleach was overpowering but as least reassuring. The rooms are the closest thing to a jail cell you could imagine - painted brick walls - iron bunks - springy mattresses tiny duvets, a window with a view... more

Homeleigh Bed & Breakfast

5 of 5 stars
Vancouver
Nov 10, 2008

Homeleigh Bed and Breakfast provides very comfortable accommodation in a warm, friendly home environment. Breakfasts are excellent with a variety of choices on the menu. The location in the small, peaceful village of Ardvasar is lovely. An added plus is that dinner, if you wish, is available at the nearby Ardvasar Hotel. The hosts, Jan and Peter Moulding, consider the... more

THE place to stay on the Isle of Skye without a... more
