Absolutely perfect. The room was spacious, beautiful and had everything we needed. We felt at home. Elaine was very welcoming and gave us great advice. It was very helpful that she offers to provide a packed lunch. The breakfast was lovely with something for everyone. Maisy the dog was incredibly well behaved and friendly.

The small local hotel bar within walking distance was great. We liked the food and atmosphere so much we went both nights. We wish we'd booked a longer stay to explore more of the area.

Would Recommend: Yes

Fantastic B&B. Elaine looked after our every need and provided good information for future visits. Room was very quiet and comfortable…slept like a log! …and breakfast was excellent. Great location for exploring the Sleat peninsula.

Highly recommend the Armadale Castle and gardens. The Museum of the Isles on the Castle grounds was “top notch” and very interesting re: history and culture of the area. Also highly recommend the Torabhaig Dustillery one of the most photogenic distilleries in Scotland. The whisky tour and tasting was excellent and all staff superb hosts!

A very comfortable room and delicious breakfast. Good to have fresh fruit and traditional fare. Also noted a lot of attention to detail in making our stay very enjoyable. Thank you!

Quiet location on the road between Armadale (ferry) and Broadford. About 15 minutes drive to Broadford for a range of facilities including places to eat (we enjoyed Sia Cafe).

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd October 2023:

We had an exceptional B&B experience at Off the Hill. Elaine is an excellent host - engaging and informative, but sensitive to giving guests space should they prefer it. The breakfast was superb. If we ever get the opportunity to return to Skye, we would definitely stay again!

There is so much you can do on Skye, and it is all accessible from Off the Hill if you are travelling by car. We enjoyed walking down to the local pub, Hotel Eilean Iarmain, for sunset, dinner, and drinks.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th September 2023:

great quiet location. Host was extremely helpful regarding activities on the island.

Many nice dining opportunities. Driving the entore loop around the island is tiring. Budget more time to enjoy the various sites.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th September 2023:

An oustanding place, located in the South of the island near both the bridge and the Mallaig Ferry, so a perfect base from which to explore. The host, Elaine, demonstrates an efficient and professional approach with a keen eye for detail, yet at the same time a palpably warm and personal manner. The B&B is spot on in every detail as regards décor, facilities, food and comfort, yet conveys a homeliness that makes it a pleasure to have as a base. And there's a lovoable little doggie too!

See above - a great base for a tour of the island.

28th July 2023:

Beautiful location in the nature, just a little bit away from Portree. Elaine was very nice and did an excellent service. The Breakfast was awesome! We felt very welcomed and the room was very comfortable. We enjoyed it very much and recommend it to everyone!

If you’re traveling without a Car and want to visit stuff like the Old man of the Storr in the North of the Island you can go by bus. You have to take the Bus number 52 all the way to Portree even though Google maps says it only drive to Broadford. In Portree you have to change to the Bus number 57A. I would recommend a day Ticket and to watch out when the last Bus leaves!

22nd June 2022:

Everything about the b&b was perfect from fresh fruit salad every morning and the cooked breakfast. The rooms very clean towels changed just ask. Elaine’s knowledge about the island is immense If you need somewhere to go away from the tourist area she knows them all.

Quite a few restaurants in the area but you must book or you could be turned away every restaurant seemed to be short staffed.

Would Recommend: Yes

31st May 2022:

Wonderful place to stay with superb spacious bedroom and shower.A fridge on the landing contained cold drinks and fresh milk.Elaine was very helpful in every way and did everything to make our stay very comfortable and enjoyable.

The Sleat peninsular extremely beautiful and much quieter than the west and north side of Skye.The walk to the amazing white sandy cove at Point of Sleat is not to be missed.The north east coast is very spectacular to look out for the Outer Hebrides.Do choose carefully where you decide to eat as the Pubs,hotels and restuarants do not usually take bookings and it is a case of "first come first served"

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd May 2022:

Off the Hill B&B was the best place to stay during our two week scotland trip! We would come back anytime and would also like to stay longer.

We were made very welcome in this lovely b&b by Elaine and Maisie the Yorkshire Terrier. There are lots of personal touches, a very comfortable room and great breakfast choice.

We took the pleasant 15 minute walk down to the Am Praban pub (attached to the Hotel Eilean Iarmain) by the coast which has lovely views, a cosy bar and good food. We had the fish and chips which we’d recommend but the mussels also looked great.

Would Recommend: Yes

Beautiful room and excellent facilities with attention to detail and thoughtful extra touches. A welcoming place to return to.

No shortage of scenic drives, coastal and hill walks nearby, with places to eat - a local hotel and a community shop and cafe - within a short distance; a nearby distillery and a variety of craft outlets and other places to eat not far away. Numerous historic sites to visit as well. Well situated in Sleat area south of Broadford and between the Skye Bridge and the Armadale to Mallaig ferry.

Could not fault it in any way.

Because Scotland is so busy it is difficult at times to find somewhere to eat, also staff for such places are depleted by Covid and Brexit so a little persistence, patience and understanding are required.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th August 2021:

The breakfast, fresh fruit and a full English, was one of the best I’ve had on holiday. Really helpful recommendations for the local area. A nice pub 10 min walk. A lovely room with spectacular views in every direction. Perfect host who was friendly and helpful, and a great photographer!

Watch the sunset at the beach. Do some walks off the beaten track. Eat at Kinloch Lodge. Skip Armadale Castle if you’re short on time! Take insect repellent!

Would Recommend: Yes

15th August 2021:

Elaine was a fantastic host; super friendly on arrival and during our stay but also contacted us prior to our visit to check dietary requirements. I was really pleased to see a range of vegan options at breakfast (soya milk, soya yoghurt and dairy free spread) alongside homemade jam and marmalade! Our room was spotless and very comfortable, especially the mattress! There were lots of little 'nice touches' - fresh milk and cold drinks in the mini fridge in the upstairs hallway, fruit bars with the complimentary tea and coffee in our room and more. We loved our stay at Off The Hill and would definitely come back here again. Thanks so much Elaine and Maisie (the dog!) for a fantastic stay!

Would Recommend: Yes

11th August 2021:

We had a brilliant time with Elaine and Maisie at Off the Hill. The accommodation was spotless, our host was lovely, and breakfast was great, catering for our dietary requirements.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend to family and friends. I actually want to book to stay again. Elaine has everything right for a B&B including the bed and room being fantastically comfy and clean and the breakfast was delicious. Breakfast is my favourite meal to go out for so I know a good one when I get it. Masie, the Westie, adds a lovely homely feel to the house. Thank you Elaine, after a hard year this stay totally reset me.

I was between 4 and 5 for the location, it depends where you want to be. For me, I loved the encouragement to explore South Skye like the Camasunary walk and Talisker. Elaine sends and supplies a huge range of recommendations which was really useful.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th July 2021:

Elaine is very welcoming person. Her B&B is absolutely spotless with breathtaking views around. Beautiful breakfast every day. I spent 2 night and definitely we will back next year.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Off the Hill B&B. The room was very comfortable and clean with great facilities. Breakfast was so tasty. Great location for exploring the south side of the island. Elaine was so helpful and welcoming. Maisie the Westie was so lovely too!

Great base for exploring the south side of the island. We enjoyed the nearby Camasunary walk and drive to Elgol. Also very handy that the Hotel Eilean is only a few mins walk down the road from the B&B - a scenic location to enjoy the tasty food and drinks from the cosy hotel bar.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th June 2021:

Lovely B and B, Elaine is a wonderful host. The rooms are immaculately clean . There are nice touches like a fridge for guests with complimentary drinks, fresh milk to make a tea or coffee, biscuits and fudge left in your room. Breakfast was excellent, a good choice including fresh croissants one day , and muffins on our last day. I would stay here again without question.

Cafe Sia , and the Herbridean inn serve nice meals. Armadale castle cafe , the Stables is excellent Bog myrtle cafe at Struan worth a visit. Dunvegan castle a dissappointment. Not worth the cost or drive If you want to visit a distillery book well ahead, at least a month for Talisker

Would Recommend: Yes

15th June 2021:

Wonderful BnB, I would highly recommend anyone to stay at Off the Hill. Spotlessly clean plus a really comfortable bed. Elaine made us so welcome and was a font of helpful information.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th June 2021:

A wonderful place to stay, Off the Hill is a truly great place, excellent room very large with sofa and large bed. Cleanliness was second to none with a warm welcome from our host.

3rd June 2021:

An amazing stay at this fantastic B&B. Attention to detail was 100%. The room was bright and plenty of room and storage. Lovely homely touches of tea& coffee provided plus fresh milk in the fridge on the landing. The bathroom was well fitted with good ventilation in both bathroom and bedroom. The area is excellent for access to Skye via the bridge or the ferry to or from Mallaig - Armadale. We managed to see the beautiful Skye in wonderful weather so feel very lucky. We would definitely recommend “Off the hill B&B” for a warm welcome and comfortable stay in Skye from Elaine & Maise. Thank you very much Val & Geoff

Nicely located B&B if you want a break. I've had a super clean and modern room with everything I could wish for, including complimentary water/tea/coffee and little sweets. Great sunsets to see from your room. Elaine and her dog Maisie are top hosts who make you feel welcomed from the first second. Elaine did absolutely everything to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Great breakfast and also a lovely packed lunch if you're going into the wild during the day.

The nearby whisky distillery is a nice place to visit. Otherwise I'd highly recommend to explore the nature on Skye which is just stunning.

Can't think of any poorer things to mention. Very clean and comfortable. Would like to go back, even if Covid restrictions were still in force. Lovely meals provided. All in all, very enjoyable and relaxing.

Off The Hill B&B is a very welcoming and homely place to stay. Elaine was very helpful and friendly, we requested an early morning breakfast because of the ferry which was no problem for her. The B&B was spotlessly clean and the covid measures that were put in place are very reassuring. The breakfasts were excellent, using quality ingredients and home made items. We will definitely return when we visit Skye again.
