Das kleine Hotel bietet alles, um sich wohl zu fühlen. Schöne Zimmer, eine gemütliche Lounge mit offenem Kamin und einer kleinen Bar, einen wunderschönen Frühstücksraum, in dem man das leckere Essen voll genießen kann. Am erste Abend haben wir auch eine Suppe und ein super Sandwich bekommen, um nicht nochmal zu einem Restaurant losfahren zu müssen. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen.

Das Hotel liegt ruhig an einem Ende von Skye. Bis zum nächsten Restaurant muss man daher etwas fahren. Deshalb unbedingt vorher reservieren, sofern möglich!

Thank you for the very warm welcome and being made to feel at home every day. We enjoyed the breakfasts, absolutely delicious, with your home made and locally sourced produce. The room was very comfortable, with plenty of space for us. Also, a big thank you for making our dog feel most welcome.

The hotel is well positioned, allowing us to reach most of the regular sights comfortably by car. There are walks from the doorstep, but we didn’t try them. The Old Inn, a small drive down the road, gets busy. However they always found a space for us and we received good food, in good time. Great service!

Would Recommend: Yes

16th June 2025:

Hospitality was great, made to feel very welcome. Room was well made out although shower stall was a little tight. Breakfast was excellent as was the lunch pack. Spectacular views.

You need a car, restaurant no longer operating for dinner so we had food before returning each night.

Would Recommend: Yes

Excellent B&B. Lovely location overlooking the loch, just a little out of the way for getting around the island. Very peaceful. Excellent lounge and facilities as a whole. Very clean. Friednly hosts, and great breakfasts.

Try to book at least three nights - one full day is not enough to do Skye, or the B&B, justice.

Would Recommend: Yes

Très gentil accueil. Notre chambre était très confortable. Le petit repas du soir avec la soupe était le bienvenu. Le petit déjeuner copieux. L'environnement est magnifique, le point de vue aussi. C'était un très agréable moment.

La route est un peu rude pour arriver à l'hôtel, mais ça vaut le coup. L'accueil est très sympa et l'environnement magnifique

Katie is a great hostess and wants to make everything to your liking, you can relax here, the hotel is at the end of a road with a beautiful view of the sea, there is a cozy living room where you can have a drink

we stayed in the main building and there is no elevator, if you have difficulty walking you have to climb a few stairs, we had a wonderful stay, and from here you can easily reach all of skye

Katie thought of everything to make our stay perfect including early breakfast, to fit in with Calmac ferry. Nothing was too much trouble for her.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th May 2025:

The best hospitality, delicious included breakfast, and charming location above the water!

The internet will tell you Portree is the place to stay on Skye, but I highly recommend Portnalong, which is a bit further from some main sites, but is close to others (e.g. Talisker Bay and the Fairy Pools) and is a much more charming, small-town vibe. And the hosts at the Taigh Ailean hotel are just the BEST!

Would Recommend: Yes

6th May 2025:

Peaceful, rural BnB. Lovely room. Hosts endeavour to cater for every possible situation. Breakfast was delicious.

A short trip back into the closest locality of Carbost for dinner. The Old Inn in Carbost is excellent for drinks, atmosphere and meals.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th April 2025:

The hotel was a delight to stay at. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Information was provided on places to eat and explore even before arriving. Our dog loved the location and the field it could run around. Breakfasts were perfect, all homemade and delicious granola. Also with it being my birthday a card and present was in our room on arrival, which was a lovely touch. Very dog friendly place. Handily placed for Talisker, fairy pools and the old inn for food. Would definitely stay again

Just stay here, great location. Book asap

Would Recommend: Yes

31st December 2024:

My three adult children and I spent three lovely days at Taigh Ailean last summer. The Inn served as our base to explore Skye in a relaxed and leisurely manner. Katie filled us in on everything we needed to know, and there was a complete library with local resources for browsing. She made reservations before our arrival for a nearby MIchelin starred restaurant. When we got caught in a sudden rain deluge on our walk, she showed up in the Inn’s van to take us back! Our accommodations were spacious and comfortable. It was nice to stay in a place where we could each have our own rooms. The private cottage even had a garden overlooking the hills and loch. We spent our downtime in the gathering room by a peat fire, playing games and sampling whiskies from the self-catering bar. The home cooked Scottish breakfast was delicious and ample prep. It prepared us for a full day of hiking and traveling around the island, and visits to nearby Green Shed for local seafood and Talisker Distillery for whisky sampling. We would love to return if we find ourselves on Skye again.

A car is recommended to be able to explore the island.

Would Recommend: Yes

This is the most welcoming, homely place I have ever stayed in. Katie is fabulous, we all thought she was great, and the boys loved Fritz the dog. Everything is so well thought out here, all of the extra touches like the honesty bar, the locally baked cakes, the dining room set-up, the offer of a whisky after a rainy day and a gorgeous fire in the sitting room, so cosy. We felt so relaxed and comfortable here and Katie is lovely to chat to. Breakfast was delicious! The beds were really comfy. It was the best stay with the best host.

Stay here!

Coming back to Taigh Ailean is always a pleasure and no sooner do I leave then thoughts turn to when I can come back again.

Plan ahead. The location of Taigh Ailean is remote and you might need to think about where to eat in the evening as there are only a couple of options that are reasonably nearby.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very nice and service minded landlady that shows great hospitality. Best breakfast this week in Scotland. Fried eggs on homemade toast, porridge with homemade applesauce and more… And full Scottish if you like.

No food in the evening and quite remote, so try Old Inn in Carbost if you’re arriving late.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th July 2024:

What a wonderful stay we have had at Taigh Ailean. The room itself was spacious ( room 5, family room), the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic every morning. Katie is so lovely, always willing to help and interested in your plans. Would definately recommend this place to other travelers. A car is needed, due to it’s location.

Make sure you have a car and plan ahead if you come in pek season. So book ferry tickets, book restaurants ahead and plan accordingly. Don’t let the weather stop you, it changes quickly on sky, prepare for every kind of weather in one day and you will be fine.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th July 2024:

Taigh Aileen's location makes it a perfect base for a trip to Isle of Skye. Everything was clean and well maintained with beautiful views. Communication was prompt and helpful even from before we booked. With a caring host dedicated to meeting guests needs, we definitely recommend Taigh Aileen and hope to be back!

Would Recommend: Yes

14th July 2024:

What a delightful stay we had! Katie welcomed us right in with a friendly chat and a round of Skye whisky! She made special accommodations just for us quirky Americans like top sheets and ice! The breakfasts were the best we had while on vacation and I was pleasantly delighted by how delicious a full Scottish breakfast is. The toast, tea, and French press coffee comes until you say stop! Quite a wonderful way to start the day exploring Skye. Katie has a lovely sense of humor too! I shed a little tear when it was time to leave. Staying here was like staying with family (but the kind of family that is fun and are great cooks!) I hope to be able to return one day!

A bit off the beaten path but that’s also what’s lovely about it!

Would Recommend: Yes

4th July 2024:

Loved it! The location and view were amazing. Very fun to stay in a more remote area. We had a room with a loch view-stunning! The property had a nice garden area with picnic tables to enjoy a drink or snack. Breakfast was all freshly cooked, excellent variety, and delicious. We also had the option of ordering a packed lunch which was super convenient for a long day of exploring the island. Hosts also provided an “honor box” with snacks and drinks available. Restaurants were also just a short drive away for other options. Location was close to Talisker Distillery and the Fairy Pools. Hosts were lovely.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th June 2024:

We knew when we arrived, exhausted, and Katie volunteered to drive us to the pub that we had found our place! Portnalong itself is stunning in beauty, Katie and everyone were so helpful and accommodating. Our room was so comfortable, breakfasts (with a view of local birds!) were delicious, and we had many fun conversations with other guests. I was sad to leave. If we ever return to Skye, we’ll return to the Taigh Ailean!

Take the right turn toward the distillery, and keep going. Spend at least one night at the Old Inn, especially on music night, order the full breakfast at least once, and sit where you can see the birds.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th June 2024:

A house full of books - what a lovely surprise! We were most warmly welcomed by Katie, who introduced us very well to the house and gave many tips what to do or what not in the area. Fritz, the dachshound, was a charming pleasure as well. Breakfast is outstanding and we would have liked more days to explore it all. We will do all to come back again.

Would Recommend: Yes

During our tour with an 11-month-old baby, we had the most wonderful time with Johnny and Katie. The room was incredibly nice and clean and everything was ready for our little girl. Incredibly welcoming and no question was too crazy, they were willing to think and help in everything. In addition, Katie serves the most delicious breakfasts in all of Scotland. We definitely recommend Taigh Ailean and hope that every one may have as nice a time as we did.

A very charming surprise. Located at the end of the world, this hotel is one of the cosiest place you could ever see, filled with books and comfortable couches. We were received by thé nicest hostess ever. A pure gem in the wildness oh Skye

Old Inn near Talisker distillery serves good food

Would Recommend: Yes

8th April 2024:

Taigh Ailean Hotel is a shimmering jewel nestled in the southern side of the Isle of Skey between Portnalog and the Talisker distillery. Waking up to the view of Loch Harport is just a small fraction of what makes this place special. It's the little touches that make it stand out such as a cluster of bird feeders that make the early-middle-aged bird watcher in me smile, or the hidden easter eggs throughout(I'm not going to give them away, it's up to you to find them). What makes Taigh Ailean be a complete package though is the host. My wife and I have visited a few B&Bs in Scotland and Katie went above an beyond to make our stay both stand out and be memorable. She's genuine, caring, and has a wonderful Scottish sense of humor. She makes every effort to ensure that the food served (and what good food it is) meets specific allergy requirements and is delicious as well. The Isle of Skye is truly God's country and there's no better way to enjoy it than to stay at Taigh Ailean Hotel as your home base as you explore the island.

Nothing says "Middle of Nowhere" quite as poetically as the Isle of Skye. Taigh Ailean Hotel is off the beaten path and away from Portree, but don't let that dissuade you from staying here. Once you leave the A87 at Sligachan, the road quickly turns into a single track. You'll pass the Talisker distillery, the Old Inn, and then finally make it to the B&B. Your best bet for dinner will be the Old Inn which you passed on the way here and is just a short drive from Taigh Ailean. Katie offers an honesty bar with snacks that is reasonably priced and can come with some great gluten free snacks upon request. In addition, she offers a selection of spirits including a few from Talisker. I strongly suggest trying the 57 degrees North cask strength for a real treat. Oh, and if you're tall like me, watch your head in a couple places. :D

Would Recommend: Yes

We stayed 2 nights on the 3rd and 4th of August, with our two boys. Very well received by Katie who showed us our room, very spacious, clean, big enough for us 4. Breakfast was really good. We followed all her advice (tour boat for Loch Coruisk was awesome !). She was very sweet and patient with our boys who had a lot of energy. Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness, we loved every bit of our stay here.

We didn't book places to eat and it was a little bit difficult to find adequate places so I suggest when you book your stay in the summer you book restaurants as well...

Very cosy bed and breakfast and people are very nice. We received a warm welcome and good tips to see around like traditional music concert. A bit away from places to eat (a pub in Carbost but without booking) but they manage to put a honesty box with salty and sweet bakery which is really useful. The breafast is delicious (with a lot of possibilities) and we loved the teapot covers for breakfast tea ! Thank you so much to the Taigh Ailean team!

The location was also ideal, with easy access to nearby attractions and scenic views. Overall, I highly recommend this bed and breakfast for anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable getaway.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th June 2023:

We loved the little things especially... the way birds were important, animals. We very much enjoyed the location. Near enough to things worth doing, but not in a big village or town with crowds of people. We loved the hostel-like vibe of meeting people in the common room. Breakfasts were grand (I had whisky and porridge one morning) and we spent the rest of the days wandering. You can do an easy trek to Dun Ardtreck right from this hotel!

Midge repellent is a requirement in late spring/summer. Repeat that sentence to yourself later if you are a non-believer. Scotland has yet to discover ceiling fans or window screens, so evenings in the higher rooms could be toasty or midgey. None of that is the fault of the hotel, it's just a fact of life. The lower rooms, especially the common room, are cool, so come down and say hi! And partake of the lovely extras left about for travelers. The Old Mill was good, but way too many bugs when we were there.

Would Recommend: Yes

We stayed in one of the garden rooms. Very clean. Staff were fantastic, couldn't be more welcoming and creating a good ambience. Breakfast superb, the bacon delicious. I was a little worried about not serving meals but actually it was OK with the local options available.Bar was excellent. Very dog friendly.

Bring some ear plugs for the chance that you are unlucky enough to get a party of excitable Taiwanese girls in the room next door ! ;-) Oyster Shed is a must visit for a lunch. Coffee shop opposite Talisker Distillery was really good. Old Inn was also excellent but book.

Highly recommended. The hosts and staff are lovely, very welcoming and accommodating (although the star of the show has to be the gorgeous Fritz, their most adorable sausage dog). We stayed for 2 nights in a garden chalet room, which was very comfortable with a great view. Despite not making dinner reservations on either night, Katie went out of her way to look after us, even coming to our room one night to let us know when a table was free after we had asked to be squeezed in at the last minute. We would like to thank the team at Taigh Ailean for making our first trip to the island so enjoyable and we will definitely be back.

Wonderful hospitality. Excellent location for us. Delicious food. All the staff were superb. Kate was especially attentive. Jean was lovely. Mhari was very bubbly and Josh was learning the ropes. I met Johnnie in the garden picking flowers 🌺 to decorate the dinner plates. We did not meet Eleanor or the other kitchen staff but they produced amazing food.

I would recommend booking dinner at Taigh Aillean. It is a busy restaurant with lots of local people eating there too.

Katie & Johnny are very lovely, funny and accommodating hosts. We had the best breakfast here on our trip and by far the best dinner in the bar!

We had booked a "Chalet" and every morning we started with a crowd of bird in front of the breakfast room (you must see it to believe it). Many thanks to Katie and her members for the fine holiday in Skye.

Katie, Johnny and their whole team offer a very warm welcome and a lovely location to explore the many beauties of Skye. The hotel is in a very quiet spot, far enough away that you can only hear birds at night/morning, yet near enough to get to most places to visit (e.g. Fairy Pools only 35 mins away...) The food is exquisite (I have eaten on numerous cruise ships, including one 6 Star, and restaurants around the world and the food at Taigh Ailean equals and betters those!) the chef(s) is/are amazing :-) - as evidenced by the tables being fully booked most nights by happy repeat customers... I fully recommend staying here - or if you're booked elsewhere, at least book a table for a meal, you won't be disappointed!

Why bother with other restaurants when you can have sublime food here? Stay in a beautifully quiet, friendly place where Sligachan and the A87 are only 20-25 mins drive, giving access to the rest of the island.

We enjoyed the master room and the great meals. It was a lovely way to begin our stay on Skye. The room was clean and quaint. It was wonderful having all the books and information at our disposal. An added bonus was watching the birds feed in the yard. Thank you for being so amiable and accomodatng.

The Old Inn for a pint and a light meal. If the weather is nice, sitting outside is lovely. The location is perfect for exploring the Fairy Pools, Oransy Island, a stand up lunch at the Oyster Shed, a drive out to Glenbrittle campground for a bowl of soup and homemade bread along with the beautiful scenery.

Also adored the two churches walk. Best day was with Mitch - recommend him to EVERYONE ahead of time... I can't wait to have another day with him in future. xoxoxoxo

A wonderful place : beautifully located, delicious food served (both breakfasts and meals in the evenings), cosy and comfortable rooms. Hosts/staff were super friendly. The highlight of our stay in Scotland!

The place is very well situated , within short driving distance to many attractions(e.g.Fairy Pools, Glen Brittle, Talisker Distillery). The food in the hotel is 5 star -highly recommended but there are a couple of other places to eat in the area (but not within walking distance).

A great small hotel with an unsurprisingly busy restaurant as the food was so good. The staff were all excellent & very helpful at all times. A special thanks to Kate for getting up early to make my breakfast as I had an early start. Hope to stay again as soon as possible.

Get a guide for the Cuillin. I would not have been able to climb in such poor weather on my own.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th May 2022:

I decided to stay here as I had used the restaurant when staying locally last year. The food here is very good, all home made with a good variety of specials. I was delighted that I was offered a breakfast well before normal times as I was heading to the hills. Not usual in my experience of other places I have stayed. Would recommend and will stay again if I am in the area in future.

What a wonderful stay. Katie (owner) was a fantastic host! The hotel and pub is located in a secluded part of Skye (away from Portree) but within easy reach of the tourist sights we wanted to visit. Breakfast and Dinners at the hotel were delicious! The room was spacious, with free tea etc, a heater in the bathroom to dry our clothes (as the weather was mostly wet). 10 out of 10.

Eat your dinners at the restaurant- great food!

We were made very welcome by Katie and the team. Accommodation was good with amazing views across the loch. Restaurant was excellent with a great selection of meals available each night served in a lovely friendly bar. Our Labrador dog was made very welcome and was regularly spoiled. A real hidden gem of a place which we would love to return to again

Skye is a lovely island with amazing scenery. Particularly like the ruggedness of the North coast of the island. Hotel food was very good so ate there every night although did have a couple of drinks at the Old Inn which is about 3 miles away and nearest place to the Hotel.

The Taigh Aileen is the kind of very unique small hotel which you dream of finding in the beautiful isle of Skye. It is friendly and set in a beautiful location with a fabulous view from the cosy bar/ dining room out over this quiet stunning part of the island. The food is first class with local seafood and other local produce on the menu local beers and of course a local dram. We could not have been happier and have booked to return for a week in September .

Our trip was a hill walking trip and the TA is perfect for trips to the black Cuillins which are a short drive away as is the Bla Bheinn but it is well worth exploring the immediate surroundings which are stunningly beautiful and peaceful and stay clear of the busier better known beauty spots .

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd April 2022:

This is now my favourite place to stay on Skye. Katie is an excellent host and it is her meticulous attention to detail that makes this place so special. Every time I stay I cannot wait to return.

What a find! Just the best hospitality we could have wished for and an extremely comfortable stay. We loved our cabin room and could have happily stated for a week. The food and service in the bar was some of the best of our holiday. Breakfast was extremely well cooked quality produce and set us up for the day. Loved all the books and local information on Skye. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable, we really do hope to return.

Make sure you reserve your table in the restaurant for dinner - it gets busy and there aren’t many other options nearby. Visit “on the Croft” and if you like seafood try the Oyster Shed for lunch.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd April 2022:

I thought our 5 night stay with you was absolutely superb. Everything about the Hotel was a wonderful experience. Katie was probably the best host ever. She made us feel very welcome and was always on hand if we needed help. She even got up and made us a packed breakfast at 5:40am when we had to leave before the scheduled breakfast time. The food was fantastic.

I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. It's remoteness adds to the charm. Katie is super friendly and the food is excellent. The views from the restaurant are fantastic and ideal for spotting the sea eagles and various other birdlife.

Kindest, friendliest, most accommodating staff! They made us feel cared for and special.

The food here is AMAZING - you won't want to go anywhere else. And there's a bar, too, so you won't need to : ) It felt more like a B & B, actually. And the pics of the rooms do not do it justice. The rooms were cozy and comfy and perfect.

Katie was an excellent host and went above n beyond by heading down to the town on the day I was due to arrive to pick me up from the bus as the rain was torrential , unfortunately my bus was late in and she wasted a journey but even the next cpl of days offered to drop me off places and also pick me up later in the day , so helpful around the hotel and the restaurant/ dining and bar staff were absolutely lovely and very welcoming.

only bit of advice I'd say is to make sure you check local services as in winter at least there are no bus service locally to Portnalong or Fiscavaig , good though if like me you enjoy a walk through the countryside

I cannot recommend you highly enough. I loved my stay at Taigh Ailean. The service you provide is impeccable, the food amazing and the quirky little touches throughout the Inn make the whole experience one to repeat. I haven't stayed anywhere on Skye that comes close to your Inn and cannot wait to return.

Minginish is a remote area of Skye great for walkers and climbers or those who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the main tourist attractions Skye has to offer. Apart from Taigh Ailean there is another Inn at Carbost, Donald John's cafe, a lovely wee roadside coffee hut called Caora Dhubh and of course no visit would be complete without a tour of the Talisker distillery. There are also many craft workshops and galleries in this area including the artist Cath Watters whose designs are widely available in Scotland.

We have now stayed twice at this hotel and had the same room with en-suite which was comfortable and clean with nice touches. Eg towelling robes, fresh milk.

We had an absolutely brilliant weekend. Advice from Katie on what to do during our stay was much appreciated, as was the delicious food at breakfast and dinner. The hotel itself sits on a beautiful and peaceful peninsula and the views were the perfect backdrop to chilled drinks after long walks. The room was clean and cosy with little quirky touches which make the whole hotel feel like a home from home. Nothing was too much bother and we had a very relaxed weekend.

Take Katie’s advice and don’t spend all your time at the major ‘sights’ like fairy pools and stor. We had a brilliant walk round loch Sligachan which wasn’t too taxing and just requires some general fitness and stout footwear. The views were really stunning and we ended in a pint in Seumas’ Bar at the Sligachan hotel. The highlight of our trip was axe throwing at A.C.E target sports, just outside Portree. Matt and Steve were great hosts and Steve managed to get us both feeling like pros by the end. Next time we will book lord of the activities!

Staying at the Taigh Eilean was absolute pleasure.Johnny and Katie are the perfect hosts and their staff are so friendly and helpful,with nothing too much of a bother. Always a smile on their faces which makes for a relaxing experience. Food is top notch and the selection of Skye brewery beers means there’s one for everyone’s palate. Rooms very comfortable to relax in with a few goodies on arrival. Beautiful setting and ideal for the hills or any other outdoor activities. Top notch.

If your on Skye visiting or doing anything outdoors whilst staying there then the Taigh Eilean is the perfect place to stay. Quite,rural,scenic and an ideal location for exploring the rest of the beautiful Isle of Skye. You won’t regret your decision to stay here .

A lovely location - all places in Skye not on the main spine road require some travel, but this seems a less busy area but is still a great place to base yourself. A pleasant room in the main hotel, and whilst not used by us a residents room with tv and board games / books (there is tv in your room as well) and a nice bar area with some local beers (currently only seated ref Covid requirements) and a residents dining room. Food was great value for dinner - with a varied selection, and a need to book, and a very good breakfast. Service also great - a small team who are working very hard with Covid rules to observe but who have clear customer ethos.
