Taigh Ailean Hotel is a gem. Katie and Johnny were incredibly warm and fun to be around and very helpful for figuring out where to go for your visit on Skye. Munros Bar at Taigh Ailean was unbeatable - we ate there both nights and the food was just delicious. Wonderful breakfasts and overall just a lovely place to stay. Also a great setting off point to explore the island -- and walking distance from Talisker Distillery! Thank you Katie and Johnny, we can't wait to return!

Altogether a fabulous experience. Well off the Isle of Skye tourist trap radar. Traditional Scottish coal powered sitting room, great rooms, lovely staff, excellent breakfast and very importantly access to one of the best bars around. Gin and tonic paradise, plus great food and a pool table. Rappers Delight lyrics in the loo. What more can I say.

Walks, climbing, cold sea, motor tourism & restaurants.

We really enjoyed our stay! Kate was a great host! Her warmth and caring made us feel comfortable and welcome. The place it’s self was very charming, the food was excellent as was the service. We would definitely go back!

If you’ve never had haggis or black pudding before, this is the place to try one or both. Theirs were really excellent, perhaps the best we had in Scotland.

Would Recommend: Yes

We had a fabulous stay, great to find somewhere that is genuinely dog friendly. The accommodation is spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. The food is amazing, delicious, fresh, quality produce. Katie is a very thoughtful and attentive host. Thanks to all the team for making our stay so enjoyable.

Definitely visit Munro’s - their own bar/restaurant for delicious food, wide choice of drinks and great company.

Well of course the Munros Bar at the hotel is a must to go eat and enjoy friendly atmosphere, we went to Portree for the day and it was lovely place lots of gift shops and tea rooms, and would definitely recommend going to The Old Man Of Storr, we hiked up there it was hard going but we made it, and it was worth it .

What a fantastic welcome from Katie is even better than home. Always very caring for its guests! (Thanks again for our wet pants) We had the family room at the back of the building, very spacious and big bathroom. Dog welcomed with great pleasure (wipe and treat on arrival)

Breakfast was full shell and do not hesitate to eat at night in the restaurant upstairs, home cooking with products from the region.

We could not have been happier with our recent stay at Taigh Ailean. The view from your property is just stunning! It was so convenient to have the bar and restaurant right there after a busy day. The quality of all of the meals (breakfast and dinners) was superior. I doubt that we could have had a better meal in Portree! The accomodations were fantastic - clean and private with lovely personal touches. We have already told our friends about your hotel for their stay in Scotland next year. Thanks for making our visit so enjoyable!

This was our favorite place to stay in our 2 weeks in Scotland. The food was so fresh and perfectly prepared. The beds were incredibly comfortable and for U.S. travellers- they have washcloths! The entire inn was immaculately clean, everything worked, and Katie is great.

Quick drive to fairy pools, Talisker beach. Easy drive to Portree. Made a great base for exploring Skye.

We had a great time at Taigh Ailean, Katie, our host, is a very hard worker and she does a great job. If given the opportunity, we would definitely stay again.

They have a restaurant/bar at the hotel and it is very popular. It opens at 6:00PM and if you want a table, you better be there at that time. By 6:10PM, it is full. They have good food and reasonably priced. The hotel is close to the Talisker Distillery, the Fairy Pools and a pier for boat tours.

Would Recommend: Yes

Food in the restaurant is is good and a fine selection of local drinks to wind down after a day of sightseeing.. accessible to Talisker Bay and the famous distillery ... really lot to see and do and walking for all interest levels

Very helpful and polite staff, EXCELLENT meals, nice breakfast. Bar and restaurant frequented also by locals, nice to see them enjoying themselves. Guidebooks with walks provided in the room - very useful. Beautiful selection of books you can borrow to read. Look no further - this is great place.

Close to Carbost - Talisker distillery and very nice coffee in a small booth across the street.

Our stay at the Taigh-Ailean was the highlight of our tour of the Highlands of Scotland. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. The rooms were very well presented and afforded us 2 good nights sleep. The breakfast in the morning was delicious, so much so it has changed my view on black pudding - which I now love! Equally the evening meals were very tasty and wholesome. If you are looking for a well priced B&B, in a stunningly beautiful location (to the west of the island) then this is the place for you!

This will go down as one of our best places to stay in Scotland. Any time we go to Skye, we will stay at Taigh Ailean. Katie and Johnny were the best hosts, the location was perfect, the food was outstanding, and they are just all around great people. We thoroughly enjoyed the week we stayed, and look forward to going back.

The restaurant at the Taigh Ailean is fantastic. It is also centrally located to explore the entire Isle of Skye.

Just returned from a 2 night stay in the Chalet King Size Room. Amazing views from our room. Room had everything that we needed supplied and more. Never expected bathrobes and slippers! Katie and Johnny and their staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was freshly cooked for us each morning and included haggis! Nice touch. Ate our evening meals in the hotel and food was fresh, well cooked and well presented. Will definitely be coming back again.

Absolutely lovely place to stay I would recommend it to everyone, very comfortable room, lovely view and warm and cosy. Really enjoyed the food, steak and ale pie was my favourite. Made to feel very welcome and the open fire in the lounge is a lovely touch. Shame it rained all the time we were on Skye but we made the most of it.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th September 2018:

Katie is a most welcoming hostess who made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. The hotel is remote but not isolated and Munro's bar / restaurant (part of the hotel) is fantastic for a well earned meal and a drink after a days exploring, a lot of guests from other near by b&b / hostels also use the bar. Our chalet room was clean, warm and comfy - we would stay again if we revisit Skye. P.S. Nearly forgot to mention the bar / restaurant staff - they were so friendly and chatty whilst being so professional in a busy working environment - well done!

The restaurant/bar was busy on both nights of our stay so get in early or be prepared to wait for a table. The food is exceptional and the portions large! Unless you are an experienced walker a car is a must to get to Skye's amazings sights, but we did notice a bus stop about 50 meters from the hotel. We stopped for two nights eating at the hotel and loving the vibrant atmosphere in the busy bar on both nights.
