Gairloch View Holiday Cottages - 'Kenmore' & 'Anmara'

23rd September 2022:

Perfect house on a perfect spot in Skye. Nice owners, clean and fully equipped! We had a very nice stay at Gairloch View Holiday Cottages

Old man of Storr is amazing! And drive around the north side of the island, from the house to Uig. Beautiful landscape

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2022:

What a lovely host! We were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Our accommodation was spotlessly clean and we had everything we could possibly need. A very enjoyable and relaxed stay.

Skye was very busy with tourists. Almost all accommodation was full so we were lucky. Book early to avoid disappointment. There are very few cafes and restaurants and they were mostly booked or you need to queue to get in. Recommend you know where a local shop is and have your own supplies.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th September 2022:

The property was as shown in the listing. The listing did state it had a dryer which we assumed meant drying machine- were disappointed it was just a clothes rack. We were also disappointed that for the amount of money we paid to stay for 3 nights that we were expected to strip the beds and organise the linen prior to leaving- we feel this should be included in the service. The view was stunning and it was well located for a lot of the outdoor spots skye has to offer in the north. Thanks for having us.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th August 2022:

Very friendly and helpful owners living nearby! The greatest benefit is the location not far from the top Skye highlights.

Do not forget to bring with any insect repellent. There are quite few of them outdoors :)

Would Recommend: Yes

21st July 2022:

Small but fantastic self catering cottage with stunning views on the water and the mountains at the same time. What more can you wish for? Great hosts!

Would Recommend: Yes

25th April 2022:

Mairi and Donald were excellent hosts, and provided a very clean, safe and comfortable holiday home for our family. Can't recommend highly enough!

Would Recommend: Yes

1st April 2022:

We couldn’t have asked for more!!! This tiny home was perfect for my family of four (two 9 year old kids). It sits directly atop of the cliffs of the loch and the view is amazing! We loved that it wasn’t in the middle of downtown Portree as it stays quite busy there. We plan to make the 12 hour trip back again soon. The owners are amazing and very hospitable. We highly recommend this stay for anyone considering. Be prepared for the night sky full of stars! They’re so close you can hug them!

Not too many food choices directly in the town of Staffin but they have a lovely grocery store with everything you could want or need. It closes early so don’t procrastinate. There are tons of highly visited landmarks in this area. It was the perfect lodging location for that!!!

Would Recommend: Yes

25th March 2022:

We visited Gairloch cottage and stayed for 2 nights while searching for a glimpse of the aurora we loved our stay cottage was in a great spot with brilliant veiws. We were so surprised when we landed at all the personal touches like fresh breakfast essentials and information about the area and attractions I would highly recommend staying here we found it a home away from home and hope to visit again very soon thankyou so much for having us

Mairi and Donald are very kind and hospitable people. Helpful and creating a comfortable stay. Beautiful and ever changing lights and views from the Cottage. We’ve stayed for a week, which we can recommend to gear into Skye Time. On top of it the location is near many outdoor attractions. Make sure you go and see the small but impressive Staffin Museum.

Would Recommend: Yes

Absolutely wonderful cottage, everything you need and lots more. Marie and Donald were very friendly and nothing was to much trouble and full of helpful tips and knowledge. We will definitely be coming back here.

Everything is wonderful and beautiful and you really will be stunned that around every corner it just gets better. Plenty of places to visit and trips to do, the wildlife boat trip from Portree was stunning. Definitely coming back as there is still so much to see and and would love to see it all again.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th September 2020:

What a lovely spot! We were given lots of information and places of interest on the island, but regrettably our stay wasn't long enough to visit all. Would have liked to stay longer. Friendly and very welcoming, wonderful hosts.Cottage was very comfortable and loved the views.

Didn't use the local restaurants as we like to cook ourselves, enjoyed the walk along the sea wall and just enjoyed driving round the island , as every corner reveals a different view. I would recommend a sea cruise from Portree to see the coast and wildlife

Would Recommend: Yes

26th July 2020:

Wonderful hospitality offered from Mairi and Donald under the difficult global conditions of COVID. We were well prepared and very kindly welcomed and individually supported. Fantastic views and so calm and peaceful. Highly recommended and will come again ! The location is ideal for the North and mid of Skye, and well manageable to explore the southern areas as well which we did - so have seen it all and love Skye. All descriptions are accurate and we fully enjoyed our week's stay with our fantastic hosts.

Don't forget to see Staffin Bay and the Dinosaur footprints - among all the other highlights Skye has to offer.

Would Recommend: Yes

Beautiful cottage and so close to the nature. There is also a lamb lives just next to us and many many other sheep and cow around. Our cottage could see the sunrise and you have to get up early to see it!

Would Recommend: Yes

5th October 2019:

The Anmara Cottage was an amazing spot for our 3 night stay on Skye. My sister and I loved the location right at the base of the Quiraing and an easy drive to Portree. The central location on the Trotternish Peninsula meant that nearly all of the sites we came to see were nearby which made sightseeing easy. The owner, Mairi, was so nice and had breakfast items there for us and she gave us great tips for the area. The property is private and quiet and even had its own lamb, Rose, in the fenced area in front of the cottage. Gorgeous views and we even got to see Northern Lights thanks to Mairi texting us to take a look outside, even though she had left for Glasgow earlier in the day. Staying at the Anmara Cottage helped make Skye the highlight of our trip to Scotland!

The Quiraing walk was amazingly beautiful and had some of the most stunning scenery we saw on our 8 day trip of the Scottish Highlands. If you start off in the morning with the Quiraing walk then continue on the across the small road to Uig, you can stop at the Fairy Glen then continue north then east around the Trotternish Peninsula, against the normal traffic of tourists. Or start up at the Quiraing and continue southwest from the Fairy Glen to Dunvegan and Neist Point Lighthouse.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th October 2019:

Super location close to the several 'must visit spots in the north of Skye. Excellent views. Excellent facilities and amenities including the starter breakfast package. Most importantly very helpful and supportive hosts. We are very satisfied with our stay at Anmara cottage. Cannot praise more.

1. If you are driving in, please pick your groceries either from Co-Op Broadford or Portree. 2. Sunset at northermost tip of Skye - Duntulum is just 15 mins away. 3. Cafe Arriba at Portree for good food, no reservations required but may need to queue up specially during peak hours, open from 8 Am to 5 pm.

21st August 2019:

The only thing I would highlight is the fact that the cottages are named Kenmore and Anmara, but from the road you have to remember "Gairloch view" because it's the only sign and that can create some confusion (at least, it did for us). Apart from that, it was a lovely stay! I'll surely recommend your place on Booking!

Would Recommend: Yes

21st August 2019:

The cottage is very nice and clean. The hostess Mairi is very friendly and helpful. She gave us great sightseeing tips. We really enjoyed our time on the Isle of Skye.

We looked at some of the recommended sites. Everything was worthwhile. Absolutely you must have seen the Fairy Pools and Fairy Glen in our opinion.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th September 2018:

Cottage was clean and cozy. Mairi was helpful in suggesting good places to see during our stay and it was wonderful to have breakfast foods provided. The shower was an electric system that never seemed to regulate temperature - only complaint.

The whole island is beautiful and the location of Kenmore is fantastic for many sights. Get your groceries in Portree.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd September 2018:

A host, how it should be. Great place, to explore the island and to relax. Very friendly and attentive.

We had a very pleasant stay and you’re both wonderful welcoming people! We enjoyed our talks and your hospitality! Thanks for the great tips of sightseeing the isle!

A nice place to have dinner is “The old school” in Dunvegan! Book in advance cause it’s quite popular! Another hidden pearl beside all the other wonderful places is Isle Ornsay where you can buy at the hotel a real gaelic whisky!

Would Recommend: Yes

6th September 2018:

Location and view are great! The house is very clean and comfortable! Mairi and her husband are so kind and help us a lot! Our car’s tyre was punctured by accident, we find it until next morning, her husband help to exchange the spare tyre, it is a hard work. We cannot move anymore without his help! Thanks a lot!

Would Recommend: Yes

8th August 2018:

Most enjoyable stay in a perfect location. Cottage is beautifully maintained and the hosts were very nice and genuinely friendly.

The cottage can be tricky to find although this may help. Drive through STAFFIN to DIGG. Just pass GRACELANDS (yes there is a reference to Elvis) the GAIRLOCH VIEW (Anmara Cottage) is on your RHS down off the road. Digg is actually at the northern end of Staffin.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks David for your lovely review, I am so glad you had a lovely stay in our cottage Anmara. Regarding directions our Cottages are very easy to find, they are off the main road on the right, well signposted, as per the directions in the e-mail guests receive prior to arrival, following the sign for 'Graceland' will only cause confusion as it is not in Digg and the sign is not always there as it is put up and taken down at various times in the year

9th July 2018:

Terrific well appointed semi detached cottage with friendly knowledgeable hosts who made us very welcome. Great views over Staffin Bay / Island.

Great location for the North of Skye. Just below the Quiraing and a short distance to the road that takes you up to the Quiraing parking. There is a short walk to a parking area and a path down to Loch Sheanta (The Healing Loch) below Loch Leum. Flora McDonalds Cottage is another short walk further on at the Flodigarry Hotel. If clear skies watch the sun go down over the hebrides at Duntulm Castle. Staffin has a great long beach which is partly sandy great for beach combing on a sunny day! There is a narrow road down to the beach and around the headland to a small harbour. Staffin has a village shop with fuel pumps and a small take away menu and a bit further down the road is a well stocked Mace supermarket with laundry facilities.Food was really good at Colomba 1400 and it had great views to the Quiraing and Old Man of Storr range.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay in Anmara last weekend. The weather wasn't the best when we were there so having somewhere to go to that was homely, cosy, clean and with lots of extras provided was warmly welcomed at the end of a long day. Mairi and her husband are so friendly too. We would definately recommend a stay here to others and will certainly stay here again should we ever find ourselves in Skye. Thank you! Emma & Steven.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th May 2018:

The cottage was great, it was very self sufficient, we never felt like we were missing anything. It was also very helpful that there were basic supplies at the cottage, that way we didn't have to get groceries and/or supplies right after the long drive. We also good some really helpful tips, which really helped us fill in our days on the island.

When it comes to food, the Columba 1400 is a great place to eat for a very fair price. If you like seafood the Oyster Shed is a must-visit and last but certainly not least is the lovely Skye Pie Café. One of our top recommendations is the Quiraing walk, the view from the top is simply stunning and the entire Quiraing range is just perfect for hiking. Fairy Glen is also a unique and beautiful place not far from the cottage, just on the other side of the Trotternish Peninsula.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th April 2018:

Beautiful apartments and super friendly + helpful staff!!

Would Recommend: Yes

17th April 2018:

Kenmore cottage is a lovely wee place to stay. It has everything you need, a great location to visit hotspots on the island and the view from the front door is just unbelievable. Mairi is the perfect hostess, such a lovely woman always happy to help and full of information and tips. I can’t wait to return here again later in the year with the children this time. We could not recommend this place more! Thankyou so much for having us.

From Kenmore both Quiraing and Old Man of Storr are a stones throw away. There is also lots of wee beaches and dinosaur prints around nearby, you have lots of walks etc and few wee museums and shops. It’s also good base to travel to the south and to the west. Definitely recommend. You can’t beat the view Staffin has to offer.

11th October 2017:

Fantastic wee cottage. Was spotless and had everything you could have needed. Our hosts were lovely. You would need a car to get here and to get around.

I would recommend a visit to the fairy glen. That was our favourite trip, parking near Uig hotel and walking to it. Our host recommended the Flodigarry hotel bar/restaurant which we loved. Also the oyster shed, near Talisker.

Would Recommend: Yes

A cute house in a beautiful location near the seashore. Everything was perfect!

Would Recommend: Yes

26th August 2017:

It was great. The house was fine and neat and had a nice view. The first breakfast items were very thoughtfull. We're hoping to come back someday. I will certainly recommend you to my friends and booking.com.

Do the querringwalk if you are fit enough. Be prepared. It's a longer and steeper walk then you would expect at first so take good walking shoes, raingear, water and food. Try to do this early in the morning to avoid traffic chaos at the spot. The boattrip out of Uig with sea explorer was great. To eat: colombo 1400, nearby, goof food, neat price. The pie cafe, also nearby. Open until 4 in the afternoon but you can also get the pies as take away.

Nice location, good parking, lots of interesting sites near the location (example: Quiraing)

The roads of Scotland are having problems coping with all the traffic from tourists. Be prepared to share the single track roads with oncoming mobile homes... The views that you get are simply perfect and except for the tourist locations, the experience of tranquility is the most important reason to visit Scotland.

Our hostess Mairi was super friendly and informative, the rooms are in a detached self catering cottage just off the road. The cottage felt new and was well maintained and stocked with the essentials for us to cook breakfast or any meal if we had wanted; (for lunches and dinners you do have to buy your own food, the cottage has utensils and condiments). Kenmore is about 18 miles from Portree, 5 miles beyond Staffin in a little community called Digg. The location is great as a base for treks in the Quirang which you can see from your back window. The turn off to the drive up to the Quirang is just 1-2 miles from the cottage. From the cottage you can also walk down to the beach. A great location, near and well stocked cottage and a super welcoming hostess Mairi. Highly recommended. We'd come back again if we were to visit Skye.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th June 2017:

We loved the four days we spent at Kenmore which is a totally self contained cottage with everything you would want, in the middle of the wilds of northern Skye. Surrounded by crofters and with sea views it was a pleasure to come back to after exploring, what we think is the most beautiful part of Skye. Mairi MacDonald, the owner, is very helpful and knowledgeable and sent us off to lovely parts, and best of all she sent us to The Oyster Shed with its fabulous fresh seafood. We will return.

Stay longer if you can and go slowly enjoying this very beautiful part of Scotland

The accomodation is clean and tidy with lovely views across the sea towards Gairloch. The owner is very helpful and kindly left us essentials like bread milk etc

There is plenty to see on Skye if you enjoy big landscapes and wildlife. We took a pleasant walk around the coast and watched the Sea Eagles hunting their prey. The rugged area known as the Quiraing is close by and I would recommend taking the road to Uig. We only had a full day to visit so we will be back to explore this amazing Isle again.

I highly recommend staying at Gairlock View cottages (I was in the Kenmore cottage) if only for the great care of the host to ensure a comfortable stay. The place is in a beautiful area (as is everything on the isle of skye!) the cottage is clean and well equipped. The thoughtful host was quick to help when we got lost on our way there and made great recommendations to help us get the most out of our stay. Thank you!!

I suggest taking Real Scottish Journey's Skyebus tour. It is all day, a bit expensive, but worth the time and money! Bill, the guide, makes it a fun and engaging event - he's an entertaining storyteller, regaling his guests with history, legends and fairytales of the island as he shows the main sites, and there is a great balance of time both on the bus and time off the bus to truly explore. My #1 recommendation.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th September 2016:

Mairi could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Her directions were easy to follow to get to the cottage, and when we arrived it was wonderfully warm! Gairloch view is a great starting point to visit around Skye, and a cosy cottage to come home to each evening. We will definitely have to find time for a revisit.

Stopped in at Skye pies for a takeaway. Very tasty!

The cottage is clean and cosy with all amenities, the hosts are extremely friendly, and the views and walks in the surrounding area are fantastic!

A great place for exploring some of Skye's most beautiful sites: the Quiraings, the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock and the Fairy Glen.

Mairi was a welcoming and helpful host and the cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The location is one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. We would defy anybody to find fault with a holiday here.

Walks to the Quiraing, the Storr Rock, Duntulm Castle, the Kilt Rock and The Lookout start a short distance from this cottage. The Flodigarry Hotel nearby - due to reopen in March after refurbishment - is an amazing building set in a stunning location .Flodigarry Art Studio is very interesting and Aros in Portree now opens for food all year round until 7.30 in the evening. Even in winter, there is plenty for anyone to enjoy here.

For places to eat out there's the Flodigarry Hotel, Sea Breezes restaurant or Merchant Bar in Portree. Taliker distillery and Dunvegan Castle are worth a visit, as is Garth Duncan's jewellery workshop on the road to Elgol. If there weather's nice a walk along the Quiraing, up to the Old Man of Storr or a trip to Staffin Slipway to see the dinosaur footprints are good activities.

The Cottages is a lovely place to stay and the host lady is very friendly and helpful. We are very thankful for her information about the road closure to Glasgow on the day of departure due to landslide. Otherwise we would end up queuing in the affected roads.

Fab cottage, very cosy & lots of great local recommendations by the B&B owner Mairi. We did struggle to find the property & even once we arrived we weren't sure which door we should be knocking on. Some more signage would be helpful eg please knock on door at bottom of road for keys or something similar. Other than this we had a lovely time & enjoyed having our own little place on the Isle of Skye. Thank you Mairi for the lovely honeymoon gift too!

Mairi will provide all of the best recommendations!
