Fantastic accommodation - modern and clean. Comfortable throughout. Stunning views and great walking routes down to the beach or to the mountains overlooking the house.

Remember to use the fridge in the Annex Room for storing food as the one in the main kitchen is a little small. Great sandy beach at nearby Staffin that the dog loved swimming from.

Would Recommend: Yes

So pleased that you enjoyed your stay , we do our best to make it special for you. Hope to see you again before long. All the best Ella

Beautiful house in beautiful location. Lovely details - we arrived to fresh flowers and wine, the house was immaculately clean, luxurious and has stunning views. A perfect stay for our family.

A hilly but wonderful cycle to Staffin Beach to look for dinosaur foot prints - great fun! The Old Man of Storr on a sunny day was a must!

The property was excellent. Nice to get a bottle of wine and flowers.

We enjoyed a lovely walk locally but most of all we just enjoyed the peace. As it was off season there really were no local dining out options.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. The views from the house are simply breathtaking. Out of the main hub of Portree, but a 25 minute drive tops if you need to be there for shopping or food. The Skye Eyrie is just a few minutes drive from The Old Man of Storr as well as the Quiraing, both of which are best done in the early morning, so the close proximity is a bonus. The furnishings were top notch, kitchen well stocked, and the entire place was impeccably clean. Communication with the owners was always outstanding. Being there in May, baby sheep season was in full swing, so what a fun experience to look out the front windows and see water, mountains, and the boing-ing along of tons of tiny new sheep. Being out of the main hub of Skye also allowed for phenomenal star viewing at night. I cannot recommend this place enough.

There is a small grocer just a few minutes away from the Eyrie. Most of what you would need are there, but if you're someone with any kind of special dietary needs or restrictions, I'd suggest you load up at the Co-op in Portree for a wider selection. Had dinner one night at the 1400 Columba, 5-8 minutes drive from the Eyrie. Stellar food and great service - definitely recommend if you're too tired from hiking to drive into Portree.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hello and thank you for your lovely review which I have forwarded to everyone on your behalf. Reading this will keep us smiling all day! We hope you had a safe journey home, once again thank you from us all on Skye.

Thank you for your kind review

24th January 2019:

I loved The Eyrie and wish I could stay there all of the time! The view is wonderful and I would end each day with a long bath and the sit by the wood burner with a glass of wine or 2 - utter bliss

Would Recommend: Yes

1st December 2018:

Really impressive great location with fantastic views over to islands Rona & Raasy

Lots to do and see, climb up to the Old Man of Storr, visit Flora McDonald's grave Kilmiur worth going to Uig lots to do.............

Would Recommend: Yes

7th November 2018:

We had a lovely stay at Eyrie. The property is stunning! Fantastic views and a peaceful location. The house is very well maintained and all the rooms are spacious. We will definitely return. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

We loved the shop OR that is located within Portree. The Isle of Skye Soaps provided in the house were lovely so we bought some from their shop in Portree on our way home. We had a very nice stop at the Single Track Cafe and Art Gallery when we drove to the north of the island - great coffee and lovely cakes!

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd November 2018:

A few maintenance issues need attention, but would not stop a return visit to this glorious location. Front door catches on opening and lock tricky to use. Patio door bottom seal coming away. A few uneven paving slabs.

Sia pizza restaurant in Broadford was very good.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for advising of these maintenance issues. It always helps us to keep the cottage in prime condition.

27th October 2018:

Lovely accommodation and well fitted out with high end quality items throughout the property

Would Recommend: Yes

21st September 2018:

Well kitted out, perfect. We loved it.

Fairy pools, kilt rock, old man of Storr.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th September 2018:

Perfect place, one recommendation: dishwasher tabs in the house would be perfect. And yu might want to amend the website, the googlemaps location is wrong, makes it hard to find (if you haven't read the mail) It would also be an idea to check the fireplace, apperntly it is not closing tightly, thus during winds there is a permanet whistle in the livingroom

Would Recommend: Yes

26th August 2018:

The cottage was gorgeous. Beds so comfortable and was so well euiqqed with cooking utensils. Particularly loved the Skye soap and candles. Even having the stove ready to use in August when we came back wet and cold was brilliant! I really cannot fault it and am having to think hard about how our stay could be improved. As we drove up the drive we both said to each other that we would love to rebook here again.

There seemed to be a wealth of boat trips on offer throughout the Islsnd. All quite expensive and in the end we didn't bother. Any guidance on which of these to use??

Would Recommend: Yes

Fantastic fun-loving guests. A real pleasure to host . Best regards too you all. Ella

16th August 2018:

Absolutely amazing stay!! Such a beautiful location. I couldn’t recommend it any higher! Will be returning!!!

Loved cooking in our own kitchen! There is a little store in Staffin not far away that sells groceries! Amazing location close to Old man of Storr and many other sights! I recommend lighting the fire and just staring out the windows at the remarkable view!

Would Recommend: Yes

31st July 2018:

We loved it here and are already planning our next stay. Everything was perfect and the views just cannot be beaten. It’s the best self-catering we’ve ever stayed in and was particularly great for our dog as the garden is big and safe.

Very nearby is the Ellishadder Art Cafe which is only open a few days a week for soup and cake. It’s tiny and gorgeous and Maggie will demonstrate her weaving on her loom if you ask her.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st June 2018:

Simple, easy-to-book system. We liked having our privacy and not being disturbed but appreciated knowing there was someone to call if we needed. It was nice to have the hamper but some good basics (bread, bacon, tomatoes) would have been great. We didn5 know how remote we were going to be or that all the shops would be closed! Also, a teapot would be good instead of having to make tea in mugs. All in all, very lovely!

Bring good first night food supplies. Bring midge repellent. There is so much to do but pick a few things that appeal to you the most or you will be driving a lot!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your comments, they will hopefully help other visitors. My apologies regarding the teapot. There is usually one available but unfortunately the previous guest messaged me to say that they had had an accident and broken the teapot. There is a replacement there now.

11th June 2018:

What a beautiful house and location! We loved walking up the street and watching the sun set and all the beautiful views. All our interactions with the R.escape staff were very friendly and helpful. The welcome basket was an extra special touch. I would highly recommend a stay at the Eyerie.

Make sure to get pies at Skye Pie cafe. Our favorite walk was the one just across the road from the Glenview. We also had a lovely lunch of soup and cakes at the Single Track.

The double beds in both bedrooms were the smallest we have ever encountered ! They are really single beds I would guess 5 feet wide. We had problems with sufficiency of hot water on the first morning. After one shower it ran cold. on the second morning it seemed to be alright.

The Pie shop is delightful and the staff are both courteous and friendly. Very worth a visit. Telephones were at the very edge of reception at times and at other times non-existent

Would Recommend: Yes
