Amazing views, Comfortable accomm
we absolutely loved staying at Marie's place. The house had everything you need and was nice and clean. We got lucky and had a beautiful sunset visible through the living room window! The views are amazing and it is in a great location to explore Skye! I would definitely recommend Marie's place to other travellers!

Beinn Dearg yurt - Shieldaig
We loved the yourte !!! Kenneth and Lisa were amazing with us! We’re very grateful for their hospitality and help. The yourte was clean and super cosy. We had the best stay and strongly recommend the place.

Newton Marina View
The flat is situated on a quiet road clean & comfortable, good for ferry terminal & Tesco supermarket also short walk to centre of town. Recommended & I will be returning in the future.

The Oystercatcher - Stunning Sea Views
It’s a wonderful place to stay! One of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s also centrally located on the Isle of Skye, which makes it a strategic spot to spend a few days. The accommodation is perfect and very peaceful ! Thank you Mags

Bayview Cottage on the seashore nr stornoway
All positive comments about this cottage . We had 4 days here to explore Lewis before moving on to Harris . Wonderful compact cosy cottage with fabulous situation looking over a quiet wee bay . Photos on website don’t really do it justice . Very cosy well equipped compact cottage . Immaculately clean and everything you could want provided for . We were met by Tony who explained the workings of the stove and tv etc and gave recommendations of eating places etc . He was immediately responsive when we had a query over the workings of the oil stove . If the weather had been kinder we could have sat out looking over the quiet wee bay but had a lovely walk along it and beyond . We found it a great base to explore Lewis which we loved . Standing stones , black houses, Uig and Tolsta beach and Ness and the Iolaire memorial included . Explored a lot and learned a lot about the island and its history . Right next to the wee airport but we hardly heard a plane . Handy for Stornoway facilities

Harbour House, wonderful accommodation on the quay
Wonderful stay here! The location is spectacular and we enjoyed relaxing in Portree and taking in the views without even leaving our front door. Fun shops, restaurants, and nature walks all nearby without needing to drive. Comfortable beds, plenty of space, and clean. We found the location and decor very special for a true Skye experience. Hope to come back someday!

Cottage at Baile na Cille, right by Uig Sands.
Wonderful location, right on a beautiful sandy beach. The cottage was really nice with everything we needed. It was a great base to explore Lewis and Harris. As someone who likes to watch birds, there was lots of activity in the area. There are sea eagles in the area, I saw them flying above the cottage 6 out of the 7 days we were there.

Black Beinn Pod
My partner and I enjoyed a fantastic stay here. Situated in idyllic surroundings, the pod is cosy, homely and spacious. It is kept impeccably clean and has all the essentials required for a comfortable visit. I would wholeheartedly recommend to others!

An idyllic luxury byre a step away from the beach
It is a peaceful place with great location. Directly located at the beach, has a great view even from inside. There are couple of great restaurants and a supermarket in walking distance. Debbie was a great host and extremely friendly to us. Highly recommended.

Balmacara Mains Chalet
The most beautiful views from the decking - breathtaking. Very peaceful and relaxing. The chalet is very well set up with everything you need for your stay. There were a couple of spoilers - were the whole front window where the view should be is a ‘blown’ pane of glass that makes it very difficult to see the view .. and no beach access as the steps down were broken. Sadly took something away from our stay. Even so I would highly recommend

Seashore cottage for two with amazing views
There is not enough space in this box for me to express how lovely Fiona and her cottage are! Everything is exactly as pictured (actually even more beautiful than pictured) and Fiona is lovely, incredibly responsive to any messages and happy to go above and beyond for any questions that I had. Everything in the cottage is clearly labeled with helpful instructions for use, and Fiona reviewed everything with me at check-in as well. I was traveling alone, and she checked in with me several times to make sure I was comfortable and ensure that everything was going well. A minor repair was needed while I was there and Fiona's husband quickly addressed it and was very considerate with ensuring the repair was done at a time that I would be out. The surroundings are peaceful and incredibly beautiful. I will absolutely be back!

Luxury Glamping Pod 1
The host, Arthur, is the sweetest man and greets you upon arrival and explains the pods. There is a "shed" with toys and "extras" like a washer and dryer for guests. The pods truly have everything you need and more! The fridge was stocked for us and we felt right at home! The loch across the road was beautiful. It was peaceful and an amazing stay. We loved it and cannot recommend the pods enough. Truly, this is a beautiful slice of heaven and the hosts are truly humble and kind folks. We felt right at home and our son had a lovely grassy fenced in area to run and play. We loved being so close to historical ruins, the main town for shopping/meals, and just a wee bit of a drive for the beaches. The island itself is spectacular. The hosts have a great book they put together of all things of the island - of sites, restaurants, shops, and the like. So you will know what to do even if you forget your travel book!

5 Harport, Carbost, Beautiful Loch side home.
We loved this place. Truly beautiful surroundings, right on the waterfront. Nice little pub up the road that does good food and a small well stocked shop. The house was lovely. Very comfortable. Thank you!

The Bunker
We absolutely loved it I think this has made Lewis our new favourite island. I saw most of the marine life I was wanting to see from the balcony: seals and birds. The kitchen was great for cooking and eating in. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you for a wonderful stay x

Detached House with Stunning Loch View near Skye.
We loved the quiet rural setting on the loch with colours changing in the light all day long. The villages and towns in the area had some good restaurants and we found many places for long walks. The facilities at the house were adequate for cooking and leisure. The only downside, which did not affect us really, were some peculiarities that we've never before encountered in the many airBNBs we have rented in the past: several rooms, closets and cupboards were locked and off-limits; and many rather unnecessary "polite advice" signs posted. In our previous experience, the number of guests has had no effect on access.

Tides Uig Isle of Skye
We stayed in this house as a party of five (parents + two teenagers + grandpa), and found the house perfectly laid out for a group. Each bedroom has its own en-suite, which was so convenient, and the living area and kitchen had plenty of seating for us to congregate around. The washer and dryer were super helpful for doing laundry (a rack and small fans are provided too, to finish off any clothes still damp from the condensation dryer). We didn't do any super complicated cooking, but the cooking we did was easy with the double oven, stovetop, and dishwasher. The view is unbeatable. Like just something from a postcard. We'd sit down in the morning and mean to turn something on the TV and end up staring out the window instead. We were there during a blustery GALE and the house was still completely airtight and snug, no drafts or anything. Uig is a bit more far-flung (although it has a couple restaurants and a shop), so be sure to plan for groceries and drives accordingly.

The Orange Shed - Stunning water edge holiday home
One of the BEST Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed at in terms of thoughtfulness, cleanliness & instructions. Not exaggerating. The location & view is outstanding & the whole experience idyllic. They really did think of everything a guest could need or want while touring Isle of Skye. None of us wanted to leave & we all would go back. Easy checkin/checkout. Many recommendations & clear instructions. We were so grateful for all the thoughtful touches & uncluttered space. I think a highlight for our party was simply the layout of the downstairs which was perfect for a dinner in with a view. We just enjoyed spending time there & wished we could be there longer. THANK YOU George & team! Hope to return one day! Blessing!

Carnmhor, 252y/o Stunning cottage on its own shore
The cottage was adorable and the location absolutely beautiful! We spent some time on the beach soaking in the sunset over the water. Phil was a fantastic host - super attentive and informative. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Stunning lochside house with spectacular views
We have just had a fantastic family holiday in Mark's beautiful house in Ardelve. The house is very spacious and thoughtfully laid out, with top quality furnishings and equipment and we especially liked the large living room, modern kitchen and using the games room. The house sits right on Loch Alsh and has incredible views towards the Five Sisters which have got to be up there with the very best in Scotland. The family made a lot of use of the loch to both swim and Kayak on and we managed to see a seal and a sea eagle every day from the house's large windows. Ardelve is also a wonderful location, as it gives you easy access to the Isle of Skye , loch Carron with the stunning village of Plockton and walking round the loch to the world famous Eilean Donan castle. Eating out and take away options in the area are also excellent particularly for seafood & fresh fish and is a must to try for any visitor. We loved our time at the But N Ben and will certainly return in the future.

Aline Lodge in Aline Estate
We had an incredible stay at Aline Lodge. The lodge is really beautiful - top marks for all the fires having firewood, firefighters, and matches all ready to go. The electric Aga means the kitchen is always warm, and the view is world class. We went fishing twice (caught 11 trout!), clay pigeon shooting, used the sauna, and played table tennis and billiards. The kids went out on the boat around the loch and saw sea eagles, golden eagles, seals and a porpoise. Robert the gamekeeper was great - really responsive and happy to help. Could not recommend this highly enough - we will be back!

The King’s Berth
Fiona’s space was the perfect retreat. The street was tight for two- way traffic and street parking was limited but we found a parking lot around the corner which was £5 for 24 hours after we dropped off our bags. Once entering the space you’ll forget all about the street. The space is warm and welcoming and almost feels like you’re transported to a country home. A welcome basket with drinks, tea, cookies and breakfast was only one of the thoughtful touches throughout the space. Some things to note and prepare for with the stay: the walls are thin. If you’re a light sleeper, bring some ear plugs if sharing the space. It has a great location but you will have to walk up a moderately steep hill or go up a staircase to reach the main city space for more restaurants and shopping. Additionally, there’s a staircase to reach the front door from the street Plan on long waits for restaurants that don’t take reservations or book your table far in advance. Would recommend or stay here again!

Strathspey
A little piece of Heaven. Fantastic house, surrounding and view. We fought for the couch to bird watch over tidal pool. Can't say enough about this property and our host. Until next time.

Fioran, Seilebost
We had a wonderful week at your lovely, spacious property,. The dry, sunny weather was an extra bonus The location was fabulous. The house was both comfortable and practical for a large groug and for beach side living. The Welington boots and Crocs were a nice touch and much appreciated. The kitchen was well equipped for a large group with a great view. There was nothing we could fault, but a couple of suggestions to make it even better would be: Clearer instructions for when the bins should go out for collection, 3 of the 4 bins were full when we arrived. A larger casserole with a lid would be useful. The existing large white casserole was cracked. The Neseresso machine did not appear to work. There were two keys in addition to the front and back door keys which we were not sure where to use. A marker on the keys would be useful. The visitor book was full. We had an amazing time and would definitely come back.
