Old Pier Cottage

24th September 2020:

Absolutely perfect hope we get back one dayJust riding around the air.

We loved the area it was an amazing location.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th September 2020:

Our room was excellent - very clean, comfortable and quiet. TV and fridge and private modern shower room. Bedroom overlooked beautiful small bay where Calmac ferries run to the islands. Owners friendly and helpful. A great place to stay!

Meal possibilities in immediate area quite limited re choice during this Covid period, but meals always available at Uig Hotel nearby - Old Pier Cottage has an 'arrangement' with them - you won't go hungry, but make sure you book. There is a small shop within easy walking distance for snacks and treats! Great place if you believe in fairies (we do!) - Fairy Glen is nearby (walking distance) and the Fairy Pools about an hour's drive - both well worth a visit! Plenty to see if you love the countryside.

Lovely place to stay in Skye. Billy was very welcoming and accommodating. Great location in terms of the view but not a lot in the way of restaurants around. Quiet and comfortable. Good breakfast up at the hotel.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd August 2020:

Excellent stay. Loved the location of the cottage and the hotel. Staff at the hotel were all excellent and enthusiastic. Food was also excellent for dinner; especially desert. Good varied menu. We also enjoyed the Isle of Skye brewery beers and popped back for drinks for the second night. We were impressed with the Covid adjustments too and thought the hotel didn’t lose too much atmosphere in comparison to other places.

Would Recommend: Yes

Incredibly lovely and helpful! Amazing location with a stunning view, super clean with great hospitality. Couldn't recommend more

Uig hotel has great food and lovely staff (recommend the strognoff). Quiraing trail - be prepared but lovely walk. Kilt rock, fairy glen, fairy pools (loads of midge repelant), swim in rha waterfall. Walk around Portree fish and chips are great especially by the harbour). Tour around talisker brewery as well!

Would Recommend: Yes

The Cottage itself was immaculate and the views from the bedroom were stunning overlooking the harbour.Beautiful,pristine bathroom.It also has the added advantage of being linked to the Uig Hotel a few hundred yards away.

There may be a few cafe's nearby but we only ever used the Hotel.The food was awesome.Wonderful breakfast and delicious dinners all very reasonably priced.But what made it for me was the wonderful staff who couldn't do enough for you.In this present Covid situation the main thing is hygiene and they went above and beyond,constantly cleaning and sanitizing all safety in place

Absolutely beautiful location with an amazing view of the water. Very private and quiet room and although we didn't use the shared sitting room, it was available for our use. Would definitely recommend the Old Pier Cottage and hope to visit again someday.

Lots of beautiful walks and scenery in the area and we were provided with a map and suggestions for exploring the area.

Uig is excellent location for either catching the ferry to the Hebrides or touring Skye. Breakfast served at Uig Hotel which is 10-15 minutes walk (£5 excellent value for cooked and continental breakfast). Evening meals also served there - good choice.

Absolutely stunned at the view. Was sincerely giddy when I picked up the keys. Huge room, comfy bed, beautiful yard, and breath taking one in a million views. Putting on my return list and telling all my friends.

So many places to hike to and just see from the roadside. Give yourself plenty of time to just soak it all in. Reservations for dinner in Portree and Uig are essential. Meringue and chantilly cream dessert at Uig hotel is to die for.

Would Recommend: Yes

This was by far the best place we stayed in our 23 days of our vacation. The view was amazing, it is very quiet, and having access to the main hotel was wonderful. The staff were so wonderful and friendly. Our best and favorite place we stayed at.

I initially was hesitant to stay here versus in Portree, however this was by far the best choice if you want quiet and beauty. The food was great at the hotel, and the area is so beautiful. Its a great walk from the Big Hotel to the Fairy Glen. We also drove the upper island loop which was so beautiful.

Great location - beautiful view of the bay from the bedroom window. Clean, comfortable and you can also have a great breakfast at the Uig hotel for just £5.

Uig is a great base for some stunning walks or as an overnight before jumping on the ferry to Harris.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th May 2019:

Staff and owners were so helpful and gracious! Owners went above and beyond for us!! The accommodations were lovely and you cannot beat the scenery!!

Best to rent a car if going to Skye. You can get around by bus, but it can be tricky. The restaurant at the Uig Hotel is wonderful!! Even if you rent a car, take a day tour through Skye Scenic Tours. We did the 8 hour trip leaving from Portree. Our tour guide, Donald, was the best!!!

Nice little place right on the shoreline. Beautiful and clean, fit exactly into what we wanted. Only a 1.5 mile walk to pubs and brewery too

Not super close to town esp if bad weather but the hotel is right up the road. Nice seclusion although the cottage is shared with one other room and owners. Still beautiful!

Old Pier Cottage commands a stunning view across the bay from where you may view the Outer Isles ferries sailing in and out. Hotel staff were efficient and friendly and the whole community were very warm and trusting.

This is a quiet scenic location to enjoy a relaxing break and of course the whole island offers plenty to see and do in terms of scenery and wild life. For a different dining experience visit the 3 Chimneys Restaurant and of course the " Talisker " distillery is of interest to many.

Would Recommend: Yes

Great views over harbour. We watched a Great Northern Diver in brilliant breeding plumage from our room.

The Woodland Trust paths around the area are great. And don't miss the tombs of Flora Macdonald and Alexander McQueen and the Crofting Museum, and the recently discovered souterrain - just N up the coast road.

The highlight of our 2 week stay in Scotland & the Shetland Islands. The location, staff & amenities made it a magical spot that we would return to again for a longer stay. Well done!

Skye cruises located off the main pier in Uig is a wonderful way to spend an informative, fun & wonderful afternoon on the water, especially for those who live the sea & the beauty of a classic wooden boat. The captain & mate are a delight & well versed in local fauna, history & geology.

A room with a view. Right by the water with a view of the harbour. So peaceful and quiet we had a wonderful sleep both nights we stayed. The room is freshly decorated and private parking. You can go for great walks from there or drive to lots of attractions and other nature walks close by. Great location for seeing Skye. Breakfast is not included but for a mere £5 you can go up to the Uig Hotel which they also own and have a fabulous cooked breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.
