My daughter and I stayed 3 nights in the pod and had a wonderful time. The pod was perfect. So clean and cozy with an incredible view. We loved the area and was so happy having never been to Scotland, picked Uig. It was away from all the tourist and tour buses. The road along the coast was beautiful and very little traffic. The staff in the bunk house were so nice and helpful. We can’t wait to return!

The cow shed is a Lilliputian marvel. A tiny kitchen, a tiny bathroom and a tiny sleeping area are efficiently set out to achieve comfort. The view of Uig harbour is superb. The common room is warm, clean and welcoming with plenty of room to lounge about or cook a big meal.

Walking distance to a lovely pub and only a few miles from the Harris ferry at Uig.

A wonderful modern building with excellent facilities and the most helpful staff. Really enjoyed our stay.

Everyone was very friendly and there was a great vibe. I was surprised at how quiet it was at night. I was worried it might be hard to sleep. The facilities were great for one night. At an advanced age I fear I am spoiled and need my en suite toilet and shower as well as a private bed, but I'm glad I gave it a try. I work at a college and would certainly recommend it to students there. My adult colleagues however are probably as spoiled as I am. Wasn't crazy about Uig. Town needs a place to get a coffee at 8 a.m. that is not Uig Hotel. A real need to fill for a venture capitalist and entrepreneur.

Check out the Fairy Glen (close to Cowshed) and the Museum of Island Life as well as the Quiraing. Good meals at the Uig Hotel within walking distance of Cowshed. Hotel is also apparently the only place to get a morning coffee in Uig.

We loved our stay and would recommend it to other people. Our only comment would be the weak internet connection but I guess that has to do with Skye’s remoteness as signal wasn’t good throughout. But being cut off from social media isn’t a bad thing. I love the fresh eggs from the chickens and the place is lovely!!

Everything about our stay was brilliant. Our pod had plenty of space and a wonderful view over the bay. All facilities were lovely. Staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome right from the beginning.

Dinner at the Ferry Inn was fab. The location of cowsheds was great for doing things around the mid top and west of Skye such as the fairy glen, coral beach and the drive around the coast rd to portree.

Would Recommend: Yes

We absolutely loved our stay at The Cowshed! The shed was the perfect size for my husband and I, and we loved the location. The staff was really friendly and helpful! Our bathroom did smell like mildew (we think the guests before us didn't ventilate properly), but it didn't bother us enough to affect how much we loved our stay.

We had an awfull car issue when arriving at Cowshed. The car broke badly and we were in really deep difficulties. At the end of Skye island with no means of travel and an obligation to join our next hotel and the airport in the end... The staff helped us so much I don't even know how to thank them. The stay at the hotel was definitely the best we had in Scotland.

Fantastic place great staff & facilities.

My first stay at a hostel and it was amazing. Great facilities and one of the only hostel's that has a washer & dryer great for packing light. I loved the location in UIG easy to catch a ferry to the local islands or visit many popular locations on the island most travelers want to see. Be the first to Fairy Glen in the morning it's about a mile away. After staying at other hostel's during my two week trip to Scotland this was the best! I actually came back after bad weather hit Ullapool so I could hike the Quiraing.

Would Recommend: Yes

The Cowshed is the mos luxury hostel I've ever stayed in! Location rather away from the centre but peacful and amazing wiev. Bed comfortable, giving a bit of private.

This was not only the easiest hostel I have ever booked/checked in to but also the best. Friendly welcoming staff show you around at check in. Cooking and lounge facilities second to none. Washrooms are something out a 5 star hotel. And the dorms are comfy, and well equipped with luxuries like a reading lamp, power socket in each bed etc. Will definitely return soon!

Fairy Glen is not too far away at all. Uig is a great place to travel to all the main attractions, providing you have a car to travel in.

The Cowshed was the perfect location for exploring the Quiraing, Old Man of Storr, and numerous hikes along the Isle of Skye. The bunks themselves were fitted nicely with outlets and lights, with a great privacy curtain. Some improvements could definitely be made to keep noise to a minimum, the doors and hallway were extremely loud every day with boots/talking. The lockers were fairly large, but lacked usable shelves and it would be nice not to have to store everything smaller on the bottom. There was also one night with a birthday party celebration that went on past quiet hours and it was fairly loud since the first dorm shared a wall with the lounge.

Hike the Quiraing, the Old Man of Storr, look for dinosaur tracks at Staffin Beach, go to the Fairy Glen and Fairy Pools. Brothers Point was a great isolated trail with few visitors but great views.

Warm welcome. Very comfortable and clean. Excellent facilities. Mixed dorms.but the heavy duty curtains round each bunk gave privacy.

We stayed in 10 different hostels/bunk houses during a cycling tour of the western Isles. The Cow Shed was the best. Great views from huge windows. Freshly washed and ironed! bedding. Huge warm showers. Lovely walk up the Fairy Glen at the back of the bunk house. Very close to ferry terminal

Would Recommend: Yes

19th May 2019:

Cowshed is one of the best place we stayed in Scotland. All is perfect, clean, friendly and quiet. The best view on the sea and sunset point. The kitchen, the dorm, the bathroom and the restroom are so confortable and clean also. We enjoyed a lot and hope to come back soon. We'll tell to our french friends go to Cowshed for their next trip in Skye. Thanks a lot to the staff and owner. Pol from Brittany, France

The place was the nicest out of all we stayed in Skye. Just have 2 things to mention- would be great if you had information about your awesomely equipped kitchen more visible on your website & omg were we annoyed when the gas stopped flowing in the middle of frying eggs... ;)

All local restaurants closed at an undecent hour, be sure to check that before you go :)

The Cowshed is a fabulous place to stay. It is super clean, has really great facilities, and amazing staff. Everyone I met went out of their way to be helpful, kind and friendly. One of them even let me borrow her map of Skye for my hikes. I would definitely stay there again.

The Quairaing hike was spectacular- go early to avoid the crowds.

15th May 2019:

Everything was perfect. Until we realized that you allow younger children at the hostel. I really apologize for saying so, because no one is going to admit they don’t want to see small kids, but our entire bunk room would have said the same thing. Kids running around the halls screaming at the top of their lungs, jumping up and down your furniture. Skye is such a quiet peaceful respectful place and we were a little disappointed that you allow for it. We even overheard the family talk about how the kids wet the bunker. Not something a guest wants to think about. I really believe it tarnishes your beautiful boutique and would highly recommend you increase your age restrictions.

Would Recommend: No

13th May 2019:

Compact but with cosy comfortable bed. Lovely views across the bay at Uig. Bathroom was very small and smelt of sewage, think it was coming from the drain. Great shared kitchen and sitting area but only there one night so didn’t use it.

Good place to stay if catching an early ferry. The ferry Inn which is 0.8miles downhill from the Cowshed does very good food

We had the most wonderful time in our pods and in the common area. It was so beautifully equipped. The 8 of us had space to strategize our plan for the following day, along with mingling with the other guests. We made friends in one evening! Top marks!

The amazing view on Uig and its bay!!! Great, quiet location if you want a peaceful stay, just few miles away from the Quiraing. Highly recommended!

Make sure you arrive to the hostel in time to see the sunset: whether you have your dinner in the kitchen or chill out in the common area, you will enjoy a breathtaking view! :)

Great location, lovely informative staff & in the main reception/bunkhouse there’s games, guitars and a large cooking area and benches/table for eating if you like. Individual lovely pods with double bed, en-suite shower/toilet combo (not as bad as you might think, good shower). Kitchenette in your pod has a kettle, cutlery, plates and bowls etc. Seating area in your pod is spacious and small dining table that folds away nicely. Outside seating - there’s a wee bench on you decking overlooking the UIG harbour/ferry port. No TV or WiFi but that’s expected tbh, loved it. We also had a small dog with his own “dog pod” - AMAZING!

Rankins shop just 5 minutes away for all grocery needs, post office too. Kilt Rock Falls (30 min drive) Rha Falls (5 mins drive + wee walk) Flora McDonalds grave (15 min drive) Skye museum of life (next to Flora McDonalds grave Duntulm sea viewing point (20 min drive) Enjoy your stay, it’s awesome.

The Rah waterfalls are just a quick walk from the Cowshed and there are other beautiful walks as well.

The pods are more spacious and comfortable then the pictures show. Plenty of room for 2 people with a lounge that can be pulled out as a bed for a more comfortable chilling space. Warm and toasty with all the basic creature comforts inside the pod itself. Loved our stay and would absolutely come back again, staff are friendly and welcoming and we felt recharged after a night in oasis!

A full kitchen is available in the shared area for cooking (at set times). The pods have a microwave, kettle and mini fridge.

We were blown away. The Cowshed definitely exceeded our expectations! The only complaint was that for middle-aged backs, the beds in the cabins left us with sore backs each morning, but it's not a big deal. Everything was so clean and fantastic. Our kids loved the place and the staff. At first we were worried about the location - being so far up north on the island, as we were doing a lot of driving, but it turned out to be the perfect location for all of our desired treks! We were very happy with our choice.

Go to the Uig Hotel for a meal! It was one of the best meals we had in Scotland. The cheese plate of local cheeses was excellent.

This was such an amazing place to stay! The staff were so friendly and helpful, the kitchen was well equipped and a great size to be able to make our own meals. We loved the pod we stayed in, so comfy and clean! The views from here are stunning.

The Fairy Glen was 5 mins from here and was a must see!

This is probably one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at! OMG the bathrooms are the best. Best hostel bathrooms in the entire world. The water pressure was amazing and there was so much space to put your stuff and kinda feel home away from home. The lounge and the kitchen are really well equipped an modern. The view from the lounge was amazing. Would definitely recommend the place!

Fantastic bunkhouse. Beautiful, tranquil location. We loved staying in our pod but also liked we could use the shared facilities to cook meals when we wanted. Dog friendly was a huge bonus and we would definitely return and will recommend to others.

The Ferry Inn was sensational for dinner. It’s a definite must go place to eat! Lots of walks in the area, fairy glen, fairy pools, old man of storr, neist point and coral beach. All were accessible and easier walks I managed to do at 7 months pregnant!

Very good place to spend a night at a different place! It was perfect space use and very cozy! Too bad it did not have a mini stove so we can cook there and a tv for entertainment. Nevertheless, it was great we loved it! Warmed floor was very nice!

Great place to stay. My family had an entire room, with 6 bunk beds. Community bathrooms were amazing. So clean! Great shower, heated floors. Amazing full kitchen available for cooking. We only stayed one night. Would have loved to stay a week.

Hiked Old Man of Storer. Hiked Quirang. Went Canyoning. Our guide Gus was amazing. A must do!! So much more to see and do. Wish we had more time there.

My one small critique is that the internet was a bit slow overall and did not work in the room we had (#1) at all. Otherwise this experience was just delightful. We loved it. It was unique and just so fun.

The Uig Hotel down the road had a great dinner and drinks. We had a great time there mingling with other travelers and locals.

Entire stay was lovely, only comments are that on checking in there was no one at reception and we waited about 10 minutes. Another time we came to reception and there was no one there, we rang the bell twice but no one came. Both times were during opening hours. It didn’t matter to us too much but just so you have the feedback, maybe the bell wasn’t working? Every other time stafff were there and very friendly! LOVED the drying room, thank you so much!

Thank you so much for having the Fairy Glen and Rha Falls on your information sheet in the pod. We would have missed these had we not read this.
