Melanie really went the extra mile to accommodate us; superb house with amazing views. She made some great recommendations, from dining to walks. Many thanks.

PS

Would Recommend: Yes

10th July 2023:

An exceptionally beautiful abode, inside and out, every amenity you could want, and a joy to look out the windows to the fields and water and mountains, wnile lounging, eating, and doing the dishes (yes, there is a dishwasher, but with such a view, save the electricity!). Melanie provides excellent advice about everything!

Make sure to take the stroll/wee hike up to the hill above the house—mind the sheep.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so very much for your wonderfully positive review, I'm so pleased you enjoyed your time at Skye Lair!

10th June 2023:

This one of the most beautiful and restful vacation homes our family has ever stayed in. We’ve absolutely fallen in love with the Isle Skye. I hope we can come back to this house many more times in the future. Every detail of this house has been done with such excellence. Thank you so much for being such an amazing host. We are very grateful!

Would Recommend: Yes

Wow, what a lovely review to receive, thanks so much for your very positive feedback!

2nd June 2023:

The house itself was so wonderful, nothing was missing and it was even equipped with anything you may need, like shower gel, soap, cleaning fluids, dishwater tabs and wonderful coffee for the Nespresso machine. Even fresh flowers for a warm welcome. All communication with Melanie was so welcoming as well. We have been many times on Skye but this accommodation was the best. Many thanks.

The Bar Am Pràban at Hotel Eilean Iarmain is a must, wonderful food in winter even with a cozy fire place. The CoOp in Broadford offers anything you will need, McKenzie bakery in Porree is a must and anyway Skye is just beautiful.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your kind words and helpful suggestions for other guests!

27th May 2023:

Beautiful cottage in a superb location that has everything you could need.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your kind words!

23rd April 2023:

This has to be the best place we have ever stayed. The house has the most magnificent views and is in a beautiful location. The house itself is so clean and the most amazing scents hit you as you walk in making it feel so luxurious. It has everything you need but keeps it all cleverly stored away so there’s no clutter. We honestly cannot fault anything, we had the most perfect stay!

Would Recommend: Yes

How heartwarming to read your lovely review, thank you SO much! We work hard to make sure everything is perfect, to create an immaculate and relaxing environment for all our guests. I'm glad you enjoyed the Isle of Skye Diffusers, it's great to support local businesses. Delighted you had a good time.

9th April 2023:

We had a great stay at Skye Lair, it felt luxurious to come home to after a day out. It was very cosy and warm and we didn’t need to light the wood burner but there was plenty of wood had we needed to. Loved sitting by the big picture windows and watching the ever-changing weather over the sea. The house is really well equipped and I appreciated all the thoughtful extras like good coffee pods and tea bags and candles/bathrobes etc. The boys loved the big TV with all the channels! We would love to return.

We had a wonderful day driving round the sights of the island and can recommend the Oyster Shed for a bite to eat, near Talisker distillery. Also enjoyed walking the Point of Sleat and having our packed lunch on a lovely sandy beach, all to ourselves.

Would Recommend: Yes

I'm so very pleased you all had a good time at Skye Lair! Thanks for noticing all the little touches added to ensure everyone is comfy and happy. It's so nice to enjoy really good coffee and tea when relaxing with those views! Thanks also for your recommendations to other guests, isn't that beach at the Point of Sleat just glorious, at all times of year.

6th March 2023:

Wonderful stay, the accommodation is truly superb, very well equipped with glorious views. Good value also. Melanie was very thoughtful and the information was very helpful. We would love to return!

We loved driving visiting to Dunscaith Castle and having a picnic on the way in Ord, with the wonderful Cuillin views.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your kind words, I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay! And thanks for your recommendation for other guests, absolutely agree, those Cuillin views are amazing and such a short drive from Skye Lair. It's a lovely out and back loop to drive (or cycle) round.

8th January 2023:

Thank you for having us to stay in your beautiful home. Lovely, super comfortable, cosy- warm cottage. Beautiful decor, excellent facilities and every comfort thought of. We loved the candles, robes and slippers amongst other things! The views are absolutely wonderful. We really felt completely relaxed and inspired at the same time. Lovely walks from the house and winter swimming down by the castle. We couldn’t have wished for more.

The ferry to Mallaig worked very well. The walks close to the house and all around Sleat were fantastic- our favourite was the Aird of Sleat with its wonderful views and sandy beach all to ourselves. The Armadale shop was excellent with delicious organic foods and veg.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for this lovely review, so beautifully expressed! It's great to see that you enjoyed getting out and about to all the beautiful local spots. Winter swimming, you are so brave!

15th December 2022:

Our second time at Skye Lair & it didn’t in the slightest disappoint again, a beautiful venue and very comfortable cottage from where it’s easy to explore Skye. Melanie presents the accommodation is a very welcoming way and the house is immaculate.

Lots of walks, great café’s & restaurants within a short drive. We like to use the cottage as a base to explore Sleat & the rest of the island, especially as you return each day to such comfortable accommodation.

Would Recommend: Yes

It's always such a pleasure to welcome you as return guests, thanks for choosing Skye Lair again! Also thanks for your helpful tips for other visitors. Haste ye back!

29th October 2022:

Beautifully equipped luxurious holiday home. Everything has been thought of and provided with comfort and style. We are experienced travellers and renters and this ranks as one of the best places we have stayed. Our only regret was not staying longer.

The location is in a beautiful area but less rugged than other parts of the island so allow at least 60 minutes of driving if you are keen to see many of the celebrated attractions. We did plan a trip to Raasay but the ferry was cancelled due to weather which can happen frequently outside of the summer. We highly recommend the walk to point of Sleat where there is a beautiful small sandy beach Camas Daraich en route to the lighthouse.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your very kind words, I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay. Isn't the wee beach a pleasure, and such gorgeous views. Save Raasay for the next time, a dram awaits you!

17th October 2022:

Absolutely impeccable! I cannot recommend Skye Lair highly enough. The location, the design, the amenities, 200% comfortable, and magnificent views. Melanie is a great communicator with an impeccable eye, and the house has everything you could want: from waffle dressing gowns and slippers to an endless supply of kindling and logs for the wood burner. The five days at Skye Lair were some of the best spent anywhere.

Bar Am Pràban at nearby Hotel Eilean Iarmain serves delicious pan-fried langoustines and fresh scallops, while waist-coated Cornelius is gallic charm personified.

Would Recommend: Yes

Wow, what a truly wonderful review, I'm so touched by your comments and delighted you had such a good time at Skye Lair. Thanks also for your helpful traveller tips, Am Praban has such a cosy, easy vibe.

10th October 2022:

We loved our stay. Fabulous views and comfy beds. The chocolates, roses and wine on arrival were a lovely tough. Melanie was a fantastic host.

There is nothing in walking distance, so book you dinners and have a mode of transport.

Would Recommend: Yes

I'm so pleased you had a good time at Skye Lair, thanks for your kind words. We're lucky in Sleat to have lots of good places to eat and shop just minutes drive away, but yes, a car is an essential when holidaying on Skye, especially to see and experience all the island has to offer.

6th October 2022:

Such a lovely cozy spot with the most spectacular views. We loved our stay.

Would Recommend: Yes

I'm so pleased you had a good time at Skye Lair and thanks for your kind words!

28th September 2022:

We were blown away, it was just amazing! the only tiny little things to improve: - knives should be sharpened once in a while. they are all very blunt. - the scale in the kitchen needs new batteries. - the logs should be smaller for this kind of oven, it was really hard to get a fire going.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your kind words and I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay! Also thanks for the helpful feedback, everything you mentioned has been resolved :-)

13th September 2022:

Amazing attention to detail

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm really pleased you had a good time.

5th September 2022:

Stayed in many lodges but reckon this is one of the best - beautiful lodge, clean, quality accessories in bathrooms and some lovely touches - wine,flowers and chocolate on arrival

Do not book Duisdale for dinner - good food but laughable portions and expensive - book The Plockton Hotel instead.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your very kind words about Skye Lair, that's lovely to hear! Sorry to hear about Duisdale, I haven't personally eaten there, but I recommend other dining options, all very nearby (Kinloch, Eilean Iarmain etc).

21st August 2022:

Stunning house in a perfect setting. Just loved it all. Home should always be cosy, comfortable and clean and Skye Lair is all that and more, the decor, the flowers and wine on arrival….we loved it all!

Be prepared to cook at home…fortunately the lair is a lovely place to don just that - we struggled to get a table anywhere close by, which didn’t really matter as cooking with such beautiful views is just the best!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your kind words, I'm delighted you enjoyed Skye Lair so much! Yes, it is always advisable to book well ahead when dining on Skye, especially in August (High Season). Glad to hear that home cooking was a happy option for you!

10th August 2022:

A beautiful base to explore Skye from. Everything felt thought out and we absolutely loved the accommodation. We'll definitely be back and thank you so much for being so understanding when Covid stopped us from being able to visit for our original booking.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank so much for your kind words and I'm delighted you had a good time! it was my pleasure to accomodate your changes, at a very difficult time for all. I'm delighted you were able to finally come and stay.

7th August 2022:

A beautiful place to stay and very well equipped. We really enjoyed our visit. We have stayed in many places and this one had everything we needed -a lovely welcoming note too and some goodies. Excellent.

Hike to beach (Camas Dairach) on Point of Aird (bit of a trek but a unique place. It took us 2 and a bit hours walking in and back. Add time for a picnic and swim. Head to Elgol and take a boat to Loch Coruisk (simple to book on phone)

Would Recommend: Yes

I'm so pleased to hear that you had a good time at Skye Lair and thanks for your kind words! Yes, the boat trip from Elgol is a fantastic outing, thanks for the tip for other travellers.

19th July 2022:

Skye Liar is a wonderful place to stay. Unfortunately we spent there only two nights but we wish to come back early in this magic place.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your kind words, I'm delighted that your stay was a happy one, despite the brevity.

8th July 2022:

Would Recommend: Yes

Lovely to hear that you enjoyed Skye Lair and the amazing views, thanks for your kind words!

16th May 2022:

Lovely peaceful location and a very well equipped property. This was our third visit and we look forward to returning again.

We enjoyed both the Coffee Bothy in Broadford (fab selection of cakes) and Lean To Coffee in Ashaig. The beaches at Ashaig and Ord are great for wild swimming

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your kind words about Skye Lair and helpful suggestions on wild swimming and coffee/cake locations! It was a pleasure to welcome you both back as third time guests, what a nice compliment to receive when you have lots of other stay options on Skye.

27th April 2022:

Perfect place to be. We loved having our holidays in Skye this time in your cottage (its our 4th time the last 3 years we had holidays in Skye) Perfect placed cottage, with a wonderful view. We love the south/West of Skye. Dogs friendly too.

The south of Skye is perfect. There are so many nice places around…. For fine dinner, perfect hiking tours… and also to have relaxing time with a incredible view at the cottage. ENJOY !

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your very kind words about Skye Lair and our lovely area of Skye - Sleat is indeed a great place to be based! It was wonderful to be welcoming you back to the island as European visitors too - our first for such a long time because the pandemic stopped us all getting together. So glad both of you (and not forgetting wee dogs Sid and Johnny) had a fun time.

11th April 2022:

Luxury accommodation in a fabulous setting

Day trip to Isle of Rasaay a definite must

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your kind words about Skye Lair, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the house and setting! A trip to the Isle of Raasay is indeed a must, so much to experience and explore, thanks for recommending it to other guests.

4th April 2022:

The measures taken to counteract Covid risks were second to none we have encountered and showed very great care for guests combined with encouragement to respect the health of the local small communities.

An Crubh is a gem of a local store, post office and cafe;Armadale community shop has an impressive array of loose staples - I have struggled in the South-East of England to find sour cherries on occasion but not so here! Deli Gasta and the Coffee Bothy are fine examples of enterprising young businesses. It is though hard to tear oneself away from the joyous setting of Skye Lair.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your very kind words and I'm delighted you noticed the care we take to ensure our guests are safe and happy, it is of prime importance to us. It was also great to read how well you supported our wonderful local businesses - it's a real bonus to have these super facilities on our doorstep at Skye Lair!

14th March 2022:

Amazing break from start to finish - beautiful house, spotless, lovely welcome gift and excellent guidebook packed with local recommendations. Felt like I was staying with a friend as Melanie was so helpful and friendly.

Our stay was built around our dog who needs a lot of exercise to be content - but we did have coffee at the local cafe which was lovely. Mostly we walked during the day and looked forward to relaxing in the house at night.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for this lovely review! How wonderful of you to say you felt that you were hosted by a friend, that's always the experience I wish for guests at Skye Lair. I'm delighted you and your dog enjoyed the beautiful Sleat area of Skye.

11th March 2022:

We had a fantastic 3 days at the Lair and cannot fault anything. The views are amazing during the day and starry nights and the house is exceptionally well equipped, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. Melanie is a fantastic host and has thought of everything to enhance the experience. The house is in a great location for exploring Skye and has great local walks and amenities on the doorstep and is in a lovely setting which is perfect for visitors with a canine companion. We totally agree with all the five star reviews, the Skye Lair is a wonderful retreat, exceeded our expectations and highly recommended.

The walk on the hills near the home is great and we would definitely recommend a trip to Glenbrittle the beach and views are stunning.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your very kind words on Skye Lair and your host, it's lovely to know you were able to build happy memories as a result! I agree, Sleat has so many things to recommend it and I'm glad you also got to explore other areas of our beautiful island.

12th February 2022:

Everything about Skyelair is perfect , we will return again in the future .

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your kind words on Skye Lair! And what better recommendation than that you'd love to return - 'Haste Ye back" as we say, you are always very welcome.

6th December 2021:

Outstanding location and beautiful house. For a get away this is an ideal choice, quiet and peaceful the views from the house are outstanding. We had a great time and found plenty to do.

With lots of great places to visit it's hard to choose but there are amazing walks on Skye which Melanie will help with and great restaurants and pubs nearby.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your very kind words about Skye Lair and your host! You're so right, the area is perfect for exploring and immersing yourselves in beautiful nature and views - the ideal switch off. And it's great to have excellent dining nearby at the end of a good day out!

2nd December 2021:

Quality in every way! Welcome postcard, wine, local chocolates and flowers on arrival make for an excellent start to any quality break away! Clean, comfortable, everything you could need, clear instructions on everything, fire, heating, recycling etc. Coffee machine wonderful and we loved the local soap too. Views could not be better with fields, mountains and sea. Just love this place, worth every penny! The best bit is our Whippet loved it too!! Thank you Melanie!

Lean to coffee is fabulous! N tuns of wonderful walks, google them!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and very kind words! I’m glad you had a great time and that Maisie is also a fan ;-). Isn’t Lean To Coffee a great wee place? Lovely young couple, doing a great job there.

28th November 2021:

We had a wonderful stay at Skye Lair. The location is fantastic with truly beautiful , ever changing views. The accommodation was impressive too. Beautifully furnished and very clean. The log burner was an add3d bonus and there was unlimited wood for this.

We deliberately chose to visit out of season to enjoy Skye at its magnificent best. Some restaurants and tourist places were closed, but there were plenty of cafes : local village shop with excellent cafe, Deli Gusto in Broadford. We treated ourselves to a lovely lunch at Kinloch Lodge. Visiting Skye in November means the days are short, but the house was so cosy this was a bonus not a negative. We spent more time enjoying it. However, this time of year may not suit everyone. You need to be prepared for all weathers.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your very kind words about Skye Lair. You're quite right, it is a cosy retreat in winter and as long as you dress correctly, Skye can be enjoyed year round. Deli Gasta and Kinloch House are such welcoming places, with excellent food, thanks for mentioning them to guide other guests.

12th November 2021:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your very positive review score on Skye Lair! I really appreciate you choosing us for your winter getaway and glad you had a good time.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your very kind words and top score on Skye Lair! It's a delight to know that you enjoyed all the little touches at the house and that you were able to make wonderful memories on your Skye break.

9th October 2021:

This house is just fantastic. Beautiful contemporary house in a very quiet area. I cannot rate this house highly enough. It is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Melanie is a lovely person to deal with, nothing was a problem. Lastly and more importantly was the view from the house, it was like a postcard, just beautiful. I could have stayed looking at it for hours it was just gorgeous. Another delight was the night sky full of stars. Everyone should get to experience Skye Lair. I will never forget it.

The house is on top of a hill which gave you the advantage of the beautiful unspoilt view. You will need a car to get about.

Would Recommend: Yes

It is such a pleasure to know that Skye Lair provided you both with wonderful, unforgettable memories of a fantastic holiday! That’s what I aim for every time, for all my guests. Thanks so much for your super feedback. Haste ye back!

Skye Lair is a stunning R-House settled into the hills of Skye with the most spectacular views from every window. Comfortable, warm and stocked with all the essentials, it was a fantastic place to return to each day after exploring the island. Owner was fantastic to deal with—great communication and very welcoming! Highly Recommended!

For breakfast and lunch, I highly recommend Deli Gasta in nearby Broadford. Fairy Pools and Brother's Point are must-sees. Bring the hiking boots for both though!

Melanie could not have been more helpful, and thank you for our little treat that awaited us. Would love to return again sooner than later.

The scenery was stunning, with lots of walks to enjoy. We crossed on the Ferry to Mallaig for the day, the crossing was wonderful. The Eileen Larmain hotel had good food and great sea food.

Would Recommend: Yes

I’m so delighted you had a great stay, thank you for such positive feedback! Really pleased you enjoyed your day trip to Mallaig, it’s such a lovely outing and thanks for recommending it.

15th November 2020:

What a wonderful house to stay in if visiting Isle of Skye .The house is immaculate and has everything you need so comfortable and warm. The weather was not kind to us in Skye bit it was November ! This house was an absolute pleasure to return to after our day out and sitting in front of the lovely wood burner. The view is spectacular from the house. I will definitely return . Melanie was so helpful and always there to answer any questions Thank You Skye Lair for a lovely trip

You must take a trip to Elgol stunning views. We had breakfast in An Crubh lovely. We also visited Deli Gasta food is amazing this is a must to visit beautiful sandwiches. Some hotels around the property but we ate dinner in the house most evenings .

Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm really glad you enjoyed Skye Lair! Looking forward to welcoming you back anytime. Best wishes, Melanie

16th October 2020:

Amazing Lodge. Very warm and comfortable with glorious views. Our wee grandson loved playing in the garden and riding his bike over the grass. We wish we were still there.

It is in a beautiful area of Skye. We took a trip to Elgol which was well worth the views of the Cuillin. We took another trip to Quiraing in Trotternish and had a walk up there. We didn't have time to go to the Fairy pools or the Coral beach but next time we will. There is so much to see on Skye even if you are not a hillwalker. We didn't eat out but we were very impressed with the local Coop in Broadford for supplies.

Would Recommend: Yes

So delighted you all had a grand time at Skye Lair. It was my pleasure to host you and haste ye back!

13th October 2020:

29th September 2020:

We absolutely loved our stay at the Lair and were sorry to leave. The house itself was beautiful, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Melanie was a pleasure to deal with.

Melanie's recommended bakeries and coffee shops were excellent. Be sure to phone ahead to other restaurants as we found that booking was essential and opening hours varied from what was advertised on their various websites.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th August 2020:

Beautiful and comfortable. After a day of walking it was treat to have everything we needed to cook dinner, set a fire, and cuddle up for a movie. We particularly loved the area, it didn’t feel quite as busy as other areas of Skye we’ve visited.

We loved Red Sky! And the day trip to Mallaig was the best!! Saw dolphins from the ferry and rode bikes to Loch Morar and saw the sand beaches! Delicious fish and chips at the end, a bonus. We also visited the otter hide from the guide book, but it’s not open yet. (you can still see down the hill to the beach though)

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

12th August 2020:

Fabulous house, amazing views and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Would highly recommend for a peaceful break, it was wonderful to get a change of scenery as nice as this!!

We tended to eat out during the day and cook in the evening but plenty of places to visit within a 15 minute radius (driving) for a nice meal. Fairy pools and glenbrittle beach were a highlight in the sun. If it’s a nice day getting to coral beach past Dunvegan is a challenge as it can be very busy so best to go first thing.

First class, loved the house and location.

Only disappointment was Kinloch Lodge Restaurant, we had stayed there 12 years ago and were looking forward to returning to eat but what a change! Poor food hugely over priced and poor service. Definitely recommend a trip to Raasay and the Distillery, great walks too.

Absolutely stunning accomodation, with views to die for. We loved every minute of our time on the island and in the house. The house had everything we needed.

The distillery at the bottom of the road is worth a visit. Only £10 for a tour.

Would Recommend: Yes

A really lovely R House in a superb location, very private. We enjoyed the views out of the huge windows! The property was also superbly furnished and spotlessly clean when we arrived. Thank you for the wine and the little treats left for us on the table!

We loved our visit to the Armadale Castle and Gardens - great play area for the kids, nice cafe and some beautiful woodland walks!

A beautiful modern house with stunning views, in the south of Skye, a long way to drive to many of the main attractions. We met our daughter and son-in-law and 2 year old granddaughter there for a long weekend. It was ideal, warm, very comfortable beds, well equipped, super clean and has space and light. An excellent cot was provided. Cannot fault it and would definitely recommend as a retreat or for a short stay.

We visited Armadale Castle and gardens only a few miles away and had a most pleasant time, walks, garden, interesting museum and excellent cafe for lunch. It is also the ferry port; catching the ferry to or from Mallaig can split up a long car journey. Our 2 year old granddaughterloved it! We toured most of the island; most notable were Talisker distillery, Staffin museum (dinosaur footprints) and Skyeskyns who produce the softest of soft sheepskin rugs. The Torevaigh Hotel very near Skye Lair provided a very expensive but delicious meal, note that the cheapest bottle of wine is £35!

Fantastic place and very clean. The whole experience was simply fantastic. First time in a very long time I’ve just relaxed.

We didn’t eat out as more than happy to cook as sit outside with the views. As far as places to go...... well too many to list, on Skye everywhere is stunning even if the weathers not so good.
