You can leave the car at the house and walk up to Eileen Dolan Castle. We would defenitely come back to stay here.

I have to say this Guest House is the best I have ever stayed in. The hosts are fantastic and cant do enough for you. Our Breakfast selection was 2nd to none. Mary is very friendly and always helpful. The house is only 15 mins walk to the Castle, which is breathtaking. The scenery is beautiful.

Please book the local Inn for meals as they can be extremely busy and this saves disappointment.

My wife and I had a fabulous two night stay in Ground Room 4. Not having had much previous experience with B&B style accommodations from previous travels, we found Eilean A Cheo online and made our booking based on some of the reviews on Google. The room and facilities were great, a very comfortable room with views (from bed) of the hills behind the house in a quiet part of Dornie. A very generously sized and warm room with sitting area in addition to what appeared to be a recently renovated bathroom. The breakfasts were amazing (highly recommended the smoked salmon/scrambled egg if on offer!), with a view overlooking Eilean Donan Castle, a great way to start each day before setting off exploring the Isle of Skye. Mary is a fantastic host; friendly and approachable for recommendations and tips for local eateries and landmarks. Communications in the lead up to the stay was also helpful noting how busy the area was at this time of year. Highly recommended and look forward to hopefully returning again in the future.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th May 2023:

We had a perfect experience. Our host, Mary, was very considerate to our needs and provided useful and timely advice for our journey. The breakfast was excellent, and accommodation very comfortable. Thank you for your hospitality.

Fabulous location - extraordinary view of Loch, castle, and mountains; glorious dawn & sunset. Walking distance to town & castle, easy access from road, easy parking next to the guest house. Beautiful guest house, absolutely spotless, with modern yet charming features throughout. Beds are very comfortable, nice sheets, luxurious towels. Host could not be more welcoming, well-organized, and thoughtful. She listened to our priorities/preferences for touring the region, gave great & timely advice (I can't overstate the quality and value of this advice for making the most of the visit), helped anticipate barriers (e.g. early booking for dinner at the excellent Clanach pub in town), and offered outstanding breakfast with a variety of options that made us and our moms very happy.

This guest house is a great base for exploring the immediate area and Isle of Skye - distances among these aren't a barrier, and the setting of this guest house is extraordinary.

Lovely B&B with balcony views of castle and loch. Decor wonderful with Harris tweed accents, dining room for breakfast cheerful, and the food: all freshly prepared, local sources, top quality. Special breakfast of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon was the best we had on our whole trip. Host was very helpful in making sure we were set in transport and dining plans. Highly recommend this B&B! Walk to castle which is one of the best, bus, village, and a country walk along shore of loch for wildflowers, birds, exploring.

We did not have a car. Taxis need planning. The walk to castle, village and shop walk are easy, no hills, but if bad weather would be challenge. Perfect small pizza, bakery, small gin distillery and pottery shop right up the road and in bright creative buildings. Pub in village had good food, service everywhere was friendly, we even got a lift home from waitress one night. A beautiful spot to rest, explore, visit in a magical part of Scotland. Hosts are exceptional.

We slept great. The hot breakfast in the morning was the best I've had so far on our trip accompanied by lovely conversation and recommendations for Isle Skye trips.

English below: Bijzonder tevreden over het geheel. Heel vriendelijke ontvangst, heel behulpzaam. De gastvrouw begint zelf over diner-reservering en belt voor plaatsen in een restaurant, als je dat wilt. (Twee uitstekende restaurants zijn dichtbij, maar reserveren is nodig). We hadden kamer 4, een mooie, ruime, schone en rustige kamer met badkamer op de begane grond. Uitstekend ontbijt. Goede wifi. Gratis parkeren voor of naast het huis. Met de auto ben je al binnen enkele minuten op het Isle of Skye. Havenplaats Portree: ca. 60 minuten. Absoluut aanbevelenswaardig. Very satisfied with the whole. Very friendly welcome, very helpful. The hostess starts herself about dinner reservation and calls for places in a restaurant, if you wish. (Two excellent restaurants are close by, but reservations are needed). We had room 4, a nice, spacious, clean and quiet room with bathroom on the ground floor. Excellent breakfast. Good wifi. Free parking in front of or next to the house. By car you are within a few minutes on the Isle of Skye. Port of Portree: approx. 60 minutes. Absolutely recommendable.

We found this amazing guest house when I had trouble locating a place to stay on Skye and I’m really glad we did! This little town of Dornie near the castle was lovely. Mary, our host, was delightful, her home was perfection, her welcoming charm delights, and her breakfast was simply the best I have ever had. I wish we had more than one night there but I definitely hope to return on another trip to Scotland. One of the best places I’ve ever stayed.

We had a lovely two night stay at the Eilean A Cheo Guest House. The location was great as we were able to explore the Isle of Skye with minimal travel time. The house was clean, quiet, roomy enough to store our luggage and the bed was quite comfortable. Mary was such a nice and personable host. Breakfast was delicious and there were several options to chose from, so we were able to enjoy a variety over our two days. We enjoyed her conversation in the morning and valued her advice on some places to see. We definitely would recommend this B&B and hope to return for a longer visit.

Tip #1: The town of Dornie is rather small, with limited dining options. Really just one option, the Clachan Bar. Mary had suggested this place and even booked dinner reservations for us in advance. We were very fortunate she did this because we witnessed many patrons turned away who did not have reservations. The food, drinks and desserts were all very good. It is an easy 10-15 minute walk from the Guest House. Tip #2: To save ourselves time from stopping and searching for a restaurant while exploring the Isle of Skye, Mary put together a little picnic lunch for us, including a sandwich, chips, fruit, granola bar and water. We picked it up at breakfast and we sere set for the day.

Would Recommend: Yes

An excellent B&B. We received a warm welcome with care and attention throughout. Very comfortable room and excellent choices for breakfast.

Evening meal at The Clachan pub in nearby Dornie requires advance booking to ensure a table. Wonderful views to the Kintail hills from the Mam Ratagan Pass on the road over to Glenelg. Cafes and brewery in Glenelg closed on Saturdays.

Our stay was perfect...5 stars...A+++ So comfortable and spotless. Pls tell chef Raymond thank you for a breakfast fit for royalty! It was so good seeing you again after 5 years. Glad you are still in business. On our next trip to Scotland, we'll do it again. Absolutely wonderful stay!

Eilean Donan Castle of course. View from the upstairs balcony is sweet.

Would Recommend: Yes

Make the Eilean A Cheo Guest House a destination/base to begin your tour of the Island of Skye. It is a lovely place to stay. Owner Mary is the most gracious, caring person and is fastidious about cleanliness and guest health. The real chef-prepared breakfasts were top notch. The Scottish breakfast was the best I've had. The rooms were superbly comfortable and cozy, with views of Eilean Donan Castle.

Great stay. Mary was the most incredible host. Days Before we arrived she offered to book us dinner because everywhere was busy, thank goodness she did as every place we seen was fully booked and not taking walk ins. The room itself was lovely, really spacious and clean. Views are great and you can walk to the castle. Breakfast was incredible and completely unexpected! Everyone’s plate gave us food envy. 10/10 would recommend!

Along the street there is a bakery and brewery - don’t want to give anything away but it’s magical

21st April 2022:

We stayed for 3 nights, and I would highly recommend staying at Eilean A Cheo Guest House. Mary was very welcoming, and made us feel at home. She pays attention to the details which makes all the difference. Our room was spotless and Mary took very good precautions for the Covid, we felt safe and reassured during our stay. I seriously could not recommend this place enough. The food was so delicious, and the presentation of 5/5 (we eat with our eyes too). We had several options for food, and ate like kings. I can't find any fault, beautiful place to stay, great views of the Castle from our room and the dining area. Minutes walk from the Castle and other places of Dornie.

Would Recommend: Yes

Splendid stay here. Rooms were comfortable and well equipped and breakfasts served to rooms is a great idea. Great attention to detail. Mary was very reassuring and adherence to covid regulations were very good. We felt welcome.

Our host Mary couldn't have been any more accommodating. Nothing was any trouble and each day we were consulted whether we needed anything to make our stay more comfortable, she also was on hand to give trips on locations worth seeing. Given the difficult circumstances right now Mary made sure we felt safe and at the same time still gave a personal service. I highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

The Dornie Inn does a first class dinner and we found everyone friendly. Take a walk down to the castle at night to take pictures. Make sure you visit the view point to get a higher view and give at least a full day to explore the Isle of Skye.

Would Recommend: Yes

We had a lovely stay at Eileen a Cheo. The location is good, right near the Eileen Donan Castle which is a marvelous sight. The room was very clean. We were given everything we needed, and were left a bag outside the door half way through our stay with towels, toilet paper and tea/coffee/biscuits to replenish. The facilities were good and we had everything we needed. Albeit the shower was a little weak but makes no odds to us really. For breakfast, we had a table in the room, and it was delivered to us between 8 and 9 outside the room, and we ordered the night before by email. The waffles are absolutely stunning!! We only met Mary and she was so lovely. Very accomodating, and very conscious and respectful of being safe with regards to keeping distance and making sure that we felt safe. We were leaving very early on check out day so we were unable to get our breakfast, but Mary made sure we had a little packed breakfast with some croissants, butter, jam, tea and coffee to take with us on the road. The value of this B&B is well worth it. Thoroughly enjoyed :)

Pizza Jo and the Bakery is literally right down the road, a 2 minute walk from the B&B, and has delicious food and the place itself is so charming, with a wee fairy tale walk and even a little gin shack. Obviously, you have the Eileen Donan Castle which you can see right from the B&B. Amazing view to wake up to every morning. You're not far from Plockton which is a nice seaside village with activities like kayaking and seal tours. Then you have Isle of Skye which is just across the bridge. Plenty of things to do here. You have the fairy pools, the storr, kilt rock and many munros for climbing if you're into that kind of thing. We climbed Bla Bheinn which is situated over a gorgeous loch. It's a challenging hike, but well worth the views at the top. We did a sea wildlife tour in Portree with Stardust Boat Trips. This was absolutely amazing, and we were so lucky that we saw hundreds of dolphins, doing tricks around our boats. Also lots of seals and a golden eagle in the far distance. Neist Point lighthouse was also very scenic. All these places are amazing and so pretty, but there is a lot of driving involved to reach these destinations. For us it was completely worth it. Have fallen in love with this place completely.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th September 2020:

Smooth running throughout Covid situation allowing us to settle in easily. Details explained thoroughly and breakfast was a treat. Breakfast was now in the room but we had a great view. Not sure how they managed to get every item on a tray. It was an art form.

Short walk to the Dornie hotel for beer and a meal. Great base for exploring.
