Kyle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great."

House Of Juniper - The Manse

10/10 Excellent

"This was a perfect find. Although the room we had was a little small it was immaculately clean and very warm. Bed was big and very comfy. Added value were the spa and sauna. The Restaurant was very pleasant and the food was delicious. Breakfast was exceptional and the homemade muffins a real treat.Although this was more expensive than other hotels, if you make use of all on offer it is a great choice. The location is perfect for getting around the island. The little village it is located in as plenty of eating places and quirky shops for you to explore. We will definitely book again when we visit Skye."

Toravaig House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is by far my favorite stay out of my 3 weeks in Scotland. The staff was incredible and so helpful. The food was amazing. The BED was too comfortable. I started my days later than expected because I wanted to stay in my room a little bit longer. I will be coming back to the highlands and I will rebook this diamond location."

It's very walkable, and you're never far from a scenic viewpoint.

For couples seeking a romantic and picturesque getaway, staying in the village centre offers unparalleled access to the castle views, especially if your accommodation overlooks the loch. You can enjoy strolls along the water's edge, dine at local eateries, and easily visit Eilean Donan Castle, which is just a short walk over the bridge.
