Well looked after during our stay. Excellent breakfast. Would have appreciated somewhere to dry soaking wet boots and clothing overnight.

Advise against eating at 'Creelers', an overpriced and poor restaurant.

Would Recommend: Yes

We do have a place to store wet boots and waterproofs: Just ask!

8th September 2019:

Always plenty of landscapes and wildlife to see throughout Skye. Sligichan Inn served varied and filling meals from a good value menu.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Perelandra. I had a very friendly welcome from Gill and was very impressed at the location of my room - the view was incredible! Bed very comfortable and the room had all amenities you could possibly need. A lovely breakfast for both of the days I stayed, and Gill was kind enough to recommend walks, places to visit, and things to see. Thank you for a lovely stay - I would very much like to visit again!

Would Recommend: Yes

4th August 2019:

Lovely room overlooking the loch...we saw a couple of otters during our short stay....just 5 mins from Broadford with good restaurant. Owner very friendly and informative.

Satnav took us to a house about half a mile away from Perelandra. Continue on road until you see Perelandra sign. Nearby town Broadford has excellent restaurant called Creelers...it doesn't look much from the outside but the food is superb. As for what to see.....drive around....Skye has the finest scenery in Scotland.

Fantastic location and view. Very comfortable. Great ensuite. Lovely people.

Hosts have good local knowledge

Would Recommend: Yes

26th June 2019:

The position was ideal for us to visit the South side of Skye and the view from the room was lovely. The service was to perfection. However, for the amount we paid we did expect a bigger room and a shared (at least) lounge. I should add that we stayed in five different B&B's on this holiday and yours was far the most expensive for the accomodation offered.

Would Recommend: No

I am glad you were pleased with the location and the view, and the service you received. I'm sorry if you expected a bigger room and a lounge, but we do describe our facilities very fully and accurately on our website - complete with photos of the room from different angles. As to price: you may find cheaper accommodation elsewhere in the UK, but we are confident that our rates are well below the average for an en-suite room on the Isle of Skye. All the best Gill

Would Recommend: Yes

29th May 2019:

Lovely friendly welcome. Room very comfortable and breakfast superb. Just one room is available for guests so there is no competition for service. Views are spectacular and two pairs of binoculars are available. Owner has a dog which is allowed to greet guests but only if the guest asks. It is not allowed in the”guest area” so poses no problem should you not like dogs. Would we stay again? Without a doubt we would.

Couple of good restaurants a couple of miles away.

Very friendly, happy for us to come and go as we pleased which was great as the weather was poor for a while. Very clean and breakfast was lovely. We had to leave early on the last day and the host gave us a very nice breakfast bag which was eaten while we waited for the ferry. Just the job.

Nice friendly pizza place in Broadford - pizzas lovely and they do a huge pot of coffee for under £5, plenty for 2.

Lovely place to stay at. Really convenient point from which to get around Skye, if you are driving. The room and bathroom are both large, comfortable. Room has the best view ever. Breakfast is great too. There's only one room so if you can book the room, do.

A number of restaurants are nearby. There's a great little shop selling antique items, fun to rummage through.

Splendid location right beside the loch. Friendly owners preparing a full (personalised) Scottish breakfast in the morning.

Skye is just beautifull. Broadford with nice restaurants is closeby. You should certainly have a drive to Elgol and take the boat trip there. Nice views on black Cullins, seals and a walk towards a remote loch.

21st May 2017:

I had a lovely 2 nights but want to point out something that could help you with better service for your B&B. One thing that sometimes people dont think about is that visitors can be completely new to a country, town, countryside and also might come from a place which looks and feels completely different, so the impact visually even with simple things can be very slightly overwhelming. This means directions and instructions on how to find a place can be hugely appreciated and helpful. When I arrived on Skye I rang for directions but the gentleman I spoke to was not very forthcoming or helpful. All I got was that Perelandra was 4 miles north of Broadford. I had to probe to get any indication of landmarks or helpful things to look out for but got no helpful insight at all. As it is there are a couple of landmarks on the way that would be helpful to visitors as a warning that Perelandra is nearby. Its been over a month since my visit so I cant remember them clearly but It might be a good idea if someone was to have a drive towards Perelandra and make a note of them. For me everything I was seeing was different to what I was familiar with, roads, cars scenery etc so it was frustrating not to have any directional assistance. I stayed at 5 other B&B's in my time in Scotland and all of them had clear helpful instructions with landmarks to look out for when trying to find them. Hope this is useful going forward. Cheers Mike

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Mike, Thanks for your review and your comments. You are absolutely right that visitors need to be provided with good instructions for finding their lodgings, and I apologise that you felt they weren't forthcoming when you asked. It's the sort of information we give out regularly, so much so that it's like a little script we know by heart, and includes all the little landmarks you were expecting. It's on our website too. The gentleman you spoke to must have been my husband Steve. I thought I had him well trained but clearly he needs to do better, and I'm off to give him a clip round the ear as soon as I've posted this! I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay once you had found us, and were able to give is a 5-star rating. All the best, Gill

From arrival to departure we were well looked after. Could just sit and watch the views and wildlife from the bedroom window. The breakfast and the bread is fab.

Skye was a brand new experience for us. Just relax and visit everywhere you can in the time you are there.

Beautiful house with wonderfull views. Excellent host Bed not very comfortable

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for alerting us to a possible problem with the bed. We checked and found that one of the casters had broken off, which made the bed base uneven. This has been corrected now and all the guests who have stayed since have confirmed the bed is very comfy.

Fabulous!!!!

Would Recommend: Yes

29th September 2016:

Warm and friendly hostess, cooks a mean Breakfast. Clean and modern facilities.

Leave curtains open when you go to bed as stars at night and morning views are too good to be missed. Too many to chose from but hostess sent us to the old inn and thoroughly enjoyed our meals there, probably would be a nightmare to get a table high season. Loads of lovely walks throughout the island but our most memorable to date was the fairy pools, well worth a look and a nice pleasant walk.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th September 2016:

Warm, helpful, friendly hosts. Everything was great and breakfast was delicious!

Great location, centrally located. Beautiful view from the bedroom! Highly recommend.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th September 2016:

We are more than a little biassed as we stayed here three years ago and everything this time was just as good as before! Gill and Steve are excellent hosts. We were made to feel so welcome straightaway and we could come and go as we pleased throughout our stay. How could you enjoy a delicious breakfast more than by looking out across the water to the little island of Scalpay; we think not!

Towards the south of Skye, not far from the Skye Bridge and close to Broadford for a reasonable choice of places to eat from takeaways to hotels. A good base from which to explore the whole of Skye. We were touring so the spectacular east and north coasts around to Uig made a good day trip, to Talisker Bay and The Cuillins mountains another and out to Dunvegan one more.

Would Recommend: Yes

Lovely place to stay. Nice people, nice bedroom, nice bathroom, nice breakfast. You can even sit on the bed and watch the busy bird life out of the window with binoculars provided!

Unless you are keen cyclists you can't really do much on Skye without a car. Very few useful buses and several miles to get a meal.

Good idea to get a black out curtain for our very long summer days. Will look into this! So glad you enjoyed your stay. Gill

3rd June 2016:

It was a very beautiful place, we wish we could have stayed longer! Room with sea view was lovely. Very friendly people, great breakfast. Definitely recommended.

Tip for other travelers: read the "travel" section on the website, because the address is hard to find on the sat nav.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st May 2016:

A very peaceful location with a wonderful view of a tidal loch. Excellent eggs and fresh fruit salad for breakfast. The landlady is full of helpful suggestions particularly for walkers. All in all a perfect B and B.

Sea Breezes restaurant in Portree along the harbour is excellent for local shellfish as is Cafetesia in Broadford for very good pizza.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th May 2016:

All was great: accommodation, food, location. The owners are extremely kind and helpful. Definitely we would go there next time.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd May 2016:

So lovely. There is only one rented room in the place, with a large en-suite and huge windows overlooking the loch. Gill was so lovely, we had a fabulous breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed chatting with her. She knew the best walks to take after dinner, and we hugely appreciated the tip to eat at Seumas Bar in the Sligachan Hotel, they did a great fish and chips so good we went back the next day and had them again. If you're looking for a charming spot, peaceful, quiet, with unbelievable views and a nice host, look no further.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks indeed for your lovely review. I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay! All the best, Gill.
