Alex is an amazing host. My wife and I had a great time hiking in the area. Everything in the house was perfect. The room is spacious, bathroom super. Bed ver comfortable. Everything is made with great materials. Great views from the first floor. We also enjoy breakfast. Overall s significantly better experience than any other place we stayed in Skye.

Would Recommend: Yes

The host was very friendly and open, he invited us even for a glass of whisky. The view is amazing, the room and bathroom was of a 5 star hotel level. The breakfast was very extensive. Had booked unfortunately only for 1 night, the next time I will book for 3 nights at least.

good place to stay for exploring the Island of Skye. Is a short trip to see all the highlights of the Island. And please take the ferry to Fort William and not the bridge. Much more fun.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th September 2019:

Great hospitality, very comfortable and tastefully done.

Coral Beach was a lovely walk. The Museum of Highland life was also a great insight of how people lived, not that long ago too!

Would Recommend: Yes

11th September 2019:

L'île de Skye est vraiment à voir, elle est restée authentique et sauvage. Spindrift correspond à toutes les attentes : lieu cocooning où il fait bon se reposer après des escapades nature.

Nous sommes allés dans le petit restaurant de la station essence, restaurant conseillé par notre hôte et nous n'avons pas été déçus. Cependant, attention, sur l'île, il n'y a pas beaucoup de restaurants, aussi, il est préférable soit de réserver, soit d'y aller de bonne heure.

Would Recommend: Yes

A very new house with nice and bright interior and a friendly host. We've got the room with the terrace with a very nice view (only some chairs were missing...)

Try to contact the owner before you travel and ask him to decribe, where the B&B is located. Otherwise it will be a small challenge to find the rigth way (we've got the help from nice ladies of the Fis&Chips-shop some miles in front)

Would Recommend: Yes

Gorgeous room with fabulous views and modern, stylish decor. Loved the attention to detail with really lovely toiletries, slippers and jar of sweeties. The continental breakfast was very welcome too after so many heavy Scottish breakfasts earlier in our trip. Could have done with a few more TV channels, but then we didn’t come to Skye to watch telly! Great restaurant and pub recommendations from the owner who even booked for us.

Visit the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock, the Cuillin Hills, Dunvegan Castle and Gardens, Uig and north for views of the Outer Hebrides, The Old Inn for great pub grub and beer. The Three Chimneys has excellent (expensive) food. Go to Skye in the quieter months - there were far too many coach parties and camper vans. The single track roads can be hairy. Bring midge repellant. Avoid Portree.

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

We had a wonderful stay at Spindrift and were very impressed by the beautiful facility and the great welcome and hospitality which we received. We will definitely be recommending Spindrift to friends and family and we hope to be back there ourselves soon!

Spindrift is close to Dunvegan Castle and a short drive from Edinbane village where we had a great meal at the Edinbane Inn.

Would Recommend: Yes

I would highly recommend this B and B. Accommodation is of an excellent standard so modern and immaculate. Alan the owner is so friendly and relaxed, really nice guy Overall it was a lovely experience in a lovely part of Scotland.

Went to 3 chimney restaurant. Tried to get accommodation there nothing available. So glad as I much preferred Spindrift.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd July 2019:

IT was a very nice stay we have enjoyed the environment and we will certainly recommend this B&B. The owner was very friendly and we liked it to talk with him about several topics. When we woke up in the morning we had a beautiful view on two deer in the meadow near our room.

Trip to the lighthouse at Neist point. Mountains of Cuillins. Dunvegan Castle. Pub in Sligachan. Talisker Brewery.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th July 2019:

This place is absolutely great! We stayed there two nights and it felt more like staying at a hotel. There was put so much thought and love in the whole house and especially the rooms with its interior and all the thoughtful details. Alan is a great host and has great tips for whatever you are up to. The breakfast is great too as there is a lot to choose from. We were super happy and would recommend it to everyone who is staying at Skye. It has a great location, quite in the middle of the island so you can drive everywhere in a not too long time. It is also very quiet and the view is amazing. So nothing bad to say at all.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very modern upside down house like something out of the Grand Design tv programme with great views and quiet location . Great if you want to dine at the Three Chimneys Restaurant as only 15 minutes drive away. The host Alan was very welcoming and informative.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd July 2019:

Spindrift is a lovely charming house full of details, silent and cozy with astonishing views. Our room was really comfortable, wide and bright. Bathroom was modern with all amenities. No doubt. It is worth choosing Spindrift.

Location is perfect to explore the north: Neist Point Lighthouse, Coral Beach, Fairy Pools, Dunvegan gardens and lots of challenging walks and hikes. Alan was happy to help us with great advice on where to go, what to do and good restaurants.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th June 2019:

Allen keeps the place immaculate. All of our furniture seemed newly bought and modern. The bathroom and bedroom that was ours had plenty of space with a wonderful window/view. Allen is the nicest guy on the planet, super accommodating, gives you your space but will love to chat with you if you'll let him. Best stay of the 5 places we went on our trip to Scotland.

Allen will recommend restaurants and tell you how far they are. Of course we recommend you visit Storr and Kilt rock, as anyone would. Portree is a nice stop but it's limited and during peak hours, you'll find a long wait. The Talisker distillery is not far and a must for any booze travelor.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th June 2019:

Lovely peaceful location. Comfy bed and nice shower. You can also use the living room area and there is a varied selection of books. Simple cold breakfast but more than enough choice cereals, yoghurts, toast, bagels, etc. Would recommend that the bit about phoning ahead for arrival is put on the web site with the directions. I checked the web site and found nothing, not realising the instructions were in the original booking email from nearly 6 months earlier. Apart from this a good stay - thanks.

You need a car but if you want to go out in the evening there are local taxis available. For coffee and cakes, or a few lovely homemade chocolates for later, try Jann’s cakes in Dunvegan. Not sure what is near for evening meals but I would highly recommend booking in season.

Would Recommend: Yes

We stayed at Spindrift on the final night of a 10 day tour of the Outer Hebrides and Skye. The property is lovely and Alan was very welcoming and friendly.  Was great to chat to him and get advice on the area. Will definately be recommending to friends and family. Thanks again Alan.

Great location for the Three Chimneys

Would Recommend: Yes

Lovely accomodations. Friendly, knowledgeable proprietor. Close to many of the most scenic places in Skye.

Basic continental breakfast provided. Need to travel to other places for lunch and dinner. Not a hardship for us as we were out sight seeing and found great places to eat on our days out. Alan, owner of Spindrift was helpful in suggesting places to eat.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th May 2019:

Lovely location on a no through road, peaceful and quiet. Great local walks, deer, eagles, rabbits and otter to be seen in the forest, glen and lough. Ask Alan. Superb!

A number of places nearby to eat in the evenings, Dunvegan and Edinbane but best to book a table as usually busy.
