Ted & Tracey gave us a very warm welcome, the room was a delight and the food delicious! Our hosts went above and beyond what you’d expect, nothing was too much trouble. We’ll definitely stay again.

See the fairy pools but go early as it gets busy. A trip into town for artisan shops is a must. Quite a few decent restaurants and walks in the area.

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd October 2021:

From start to finish this place was a very welcomed stay. Even before getting there Tracey went above and beyond to make the stay as easy as possible, she gave actual directions to the property with places to note so we don't get lost, she also gave ideas on where to eat in the evening. A very warm welcome when we arrived, so easy with no hassle, was even give multiple choices for milk (as my partner is intolerant to cows milk). The room was very clean and smelt lovely, the views amazing, lighting was great, nice TV, warm, soft pillows and bed, great flowing shower, really nice attention to detail with amenities and lots of them, such a wonderful great nights sleep. Breakfast in the morning was cooked to order by the Head Chef :) plenty of options from cereals, fruits to a cooked breakfast, truly a great start to the day. Covid wise masks were kept on in the common areas, social distancing was kept even at breakfast. Cannot fault this property nor can I fault any of the three staff members, Colt is lovely! Highly recommended and I would definitely book here again. Thank you!

Book here!

Trien Lodge was a great place to stay the hosts were very friendly and helpful with information on places to visit etc. Beautiful rooms with great views, with lots of nice little extra touches. Well located for visiting all parts of the island. Would definitely recommend and stay again when we go back to Skye.

The Fairy Pools are very close by and worth a visit, lovely walk. There is a pub nearby The Old Inn that serves very nice food but is always busy do best to go around 6.00pm.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the kind feedback and for the tips to other travellers. We hope to be able to welcome you both again to Skye in the future.

Had a lovely clean room , very comfortable with with a view to the country side. Tracey & Ted were 1st class hosts, nothing too much trouble .Thank you .

Be patient with traffic & single carriage ways ! The old Man of Storr is a must ! Enjoy the breath taking scenery & wildlife !

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We hope to see you again when you return to Skye. As you found out there is a lot to see!

8th September 2021:

I am not sure where to start as the whole stay was exceptional. Tracey was in communication with me prior to the stay - she sent on some hints and tips around restaurants which was extremely useful. I asked to check in at 3pm as we had other plans that day, she was happy to oblige and met us at the door before showing us to our room. The room was spacious and incredibly well looked after; we had everything we needed including a fridge! The location is also perfect, its within walking distance to Carbost and is also near to various tourist attractions. Breakfast was also at a time that we wanted rather than during a specific time; the food was excellent and we could choose exactly what we did and didn't want. Both Tracey and Ted really went above and beyond what we expected and I would not hesitate to go back. Its just a shame we couldn't stay for longer.

Fairy Pools, Talisker Distillery Tour, The Old Inn in Carbost, Munros Bar (Taigh Ailean Hotel)

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd August 2021:

Trien Lodge was excellent. The room was very spacious and comfortable and it’s a good location for exploring Skye. Nice views in all directions. Tracey and Ted were great hosts. Breakfasts were excellent too. Highly recommended!

The Old Inn does good pub food and great local real ales but get there early to get a table. The hotel at Portnalong was excellent for food. A short drive but worth it. Really nice bar and great service.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for providing such lovely feedback. Hoping to see you again as you begin your exciting lifestyle changes!

22nd August 2021:

This is the best B&B I have stayed in. A warm welcome is guaranteed from Tracey and Ted. My room was spacious with views to the Cuillin Ridge at one side and Loch Harport on the other. The king size bed is extremely comfortable with plenty of storage available in a room off and ensuite shower. I will certainly be returning.

The Old Inn in Carbost is nearby for food and drinks. Glen Brittle with the Cuillin Ridge is also at hand. The Talisker distillery is well worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking the time to provide such great feedback. It is always a pleasure to have you to stay at Trien Lodge and we look forward to seeing you in October.

Thank you for taking the time to give a review. We hope you enjoyed your final day of walking the Cuillins and to see you at Trien Lodge again.

3rd August 2021:

Stayed for four nights in July in deluxe king room. Easily the best all round b&b we've stayed in for location, room, breakfast and hosts. It was a memorable stay.

Go to the Fairy Pools early to avoid crowds, take midge spray and swim in higher up pools for clear water. Talisker Bay easy 20minute walk from parking on side of road then follow through track field and beautiful beach for swimming at end. Taigh Ailean amazing food in a casual restaurant. Local foraging, fresh seafood plus varied menu. Booking ahead a must to get a table. By car, travel a few minutes north of Carbost and stop at small local artists studios including On the Croft (owner spins and dyes wool plus other beautiful crafts) and Cath Waters art gallery and studio of Scottish landscapes.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your review and particularly taking the time to provide very useful tips for other travellers. Always good to have a visitor's perspective. We hope to welcome you to Skye again.

Tracey and Ted could not done any more for us, they were welcoming and the breakfast was fabulous. The bedroom was luxurious with a comfy bed. Tracey advised us of places to visit on Skye which was very helpful.

Really nice meal at the Taigh Ailean. A visit to Dunvegan Castle and Gardens is worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

6th July 2021:

Tracey and Ted were fantastic hosts, made us very welcome, when we just arrived they made us a pot of coffee, their was also a fridge in the room with a pint of milk. Good sized room, which was spotless, Ted's breakfast was very good great choice, nothing was a bother, even when Tracey had an accident and ended up with crutches. We would definatey stay their again.

The guest house in nearer the cullin mountains, which is great if that's all you want to do, 4 miles to Glen brittle and the fairy pools, there is a pub in carbost, good food, good base for exploring the island. Mary and Sarah Hughes.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking the time to provide the lovely feedback. You were a joy to have staying with us. We so admired your fitness and stamina as you ticked off those Munros! We would love to welcome you to Trien Lodge again.

5th July 2021:

Tracey and Ted were very friendly, polite and welcoming. They provided us with huge amount of information for the local area, including walks, history and a boat trip from Elgol (which was definitely worth doing). Breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. We would stay here again.

Short walk to the Old Inn Pub and Talisker Whiskey Distillery.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th June 2021:

This was a return visit and we really appreciated efforts made specifically to accommodate our requirements eg my wife cannot take gluten. We plan to visit Skye and stay at the Trien Lodge on a regular basis. In summary, first class in every respect.

Book all evening meals in advance

Would Recommend: Yes

“The hosts were very friendly and provide me with a lot of advices and recommendations. It was a warm welcome. The room and bathroom were very clean. The breakfast was also very good. I recommend the place to visit Skye. Tres belle île.”

Everything is magic on this island. I recommend to stay a little bit longer to enjoy the landscape and the view. Tracey and his husband will give you all the tricks you need to transform a basic visit on a deep personal experience. Regarding the restaurant it is better to chose to eat real Scottish food at the Seuma’s and to enjoy the amazing choice of more than 400 different whisky.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking the time to give such lovely feedback. Hopefully see you in Skye again.

13th June 2021:

Fantastic stay. Felt totally at home and welcome from the minute of our arrival. Friendliest and most helpful of hosts, large very comfortable room with little thoughtful extras which made all the difference. Great conversations, tips on walks and places to eat. Wonderful views of the Cuillins. Highly recommended.

Great location for getting to all parts of Skye. Good walks almost on the doorstep, Tallisker distillery and restaurants just down the road. Not far from Portree if you need shops, plus a great short walk round the headland there, with lunch in the gardens of Cuillin Hills Hotel recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. We loved having you to stay and so pleased you took the time to explore Skye. Hoping you enjoyed your stay in the Outer Hebrides too.

12th June 2021:

Trien Lodge is located in an idyllic location and makes a perfect base for exploration of the island. The house is exceptionally clean, comfortable, and inviting as are the hosts. The breakfast was filling, high quality, and cooked to order making it a great start to the day. We definitely would choose to stay at Trien Lodge again. Five star service and accommodations!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback. We loved having you to stay. I couldn't get over how tidy and polite your boys are! Hope they enjoy the summer exploring the UK. We would love to see you again.

Ask Tracey she’s font of great knowledge

1st June 2021:

We had a fantastic stay at Tracey and Ted's place. Everything was just perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything more. The breakfast was so delicious, the icing on the cake! Thank you Tracey and Ted

The old in pub for food. Talisker Bay for the most beautiful little walk and picturesque beach. Fairy Pools. The granary in town for lunch.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback. It really helps fledgling businesses like Trien Lodge. We loved having you to stay and glad you were able to see a lot of Skye in reasonable weather!

28th May 2021:

Trien Lodge is situated in a very beautiful location. Tracey was very welcoming and made us hot drinks and home baking on arrival and our large room was wonderful with great views. Bed was very comfortable. We also had a separate little dressing room to hang up and store all your bags etc which was an added bonus Our room was spacious and tastefully decorated and nicely furnished. My only and I mean my only criticism is I wish there was a small fridge in the room to store drinks and a few snacks. Breakfast was so delicious with plenty of choices...cereal, fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, amazing cooked breakfast and toast with lots of lovely jams. Great way to start the day. We had no concerns at all as far as feeling safe re covid plenty of hand gel if needed and the b&b is spotlessly clean. Tracey gave us lots of tips and advice about visiting the island too. Tracey, Ted (and Colt the beautiful family dog) made us feel so welcome and I would highly recommend this wonderful b&b. Will definitely be back.

Trien Lodge is very close to the Talisker distillery and also the beautiful Fairy Pools. (Please note that there are lots of streams to cross using stepping stones. Not for people with any mobility problems!) Its £5 to park. The Old Inn nearby serves lovely food but can have a bit of a wait for a table. You can wait outside at the back of the inn which has seating and fantastic views. Theres limited places to eat and we didnt get to try the few local hotels as unable to book a table for our chosen times so in the busier months here I would advise definitely booking a table well in advance. Portree isnt too far away by car. Next to the b&b is a large modern cafe and shop open 10 till 4. We didnt use it but it was always busy enough. Most of the roads are single track with plenty of passing places but look out for the sheep and wee lambs!! Skye is a stunningly beautiful island and there can be a bit of a drive to get to visit all the points of interest but doesnt matter as the scenery is so beautiful. I would advise to visit most places early in the day.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide lovely feedback and helpful tips for future guests. You made a really good point about the fridge and we will most definitely look into getting one. We were looking before lockdown but want to look at a selection in person and hopefully find one that is noiseless. We really hope to see you both again. Tracey

Tracey and Ted gave us the warmest of welcomes and could not have been better hosts. So thoughtful and nothing would be too much trouble. The rooms were beautifully turned out. A true homely experience. Hoping and looking forward to returning soonest. Jim & Jan

The old Inn is super. Lovely outdoor alcoves overlooking the loch. Super friendly staff. Go to Munro's bar at Taigh Ailean Hotel port along, 10minute drive. Superb food where we had the best monkfish I've ever tasted served with locally foraged seaweed. Be prepared for 20-30 minute walks from roads or parking along tracks & streams to reach the fairy pools and beaches.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th October 2020:

We loved our stay at Trien Lodge. It's definitely a home from home, so comfortable. Tracey and Ted are wonderful hosts, breakfast is amazing with top quality food, and nothing is too much trouble. Helpful suggestions and recommendations given as to where to eat and visit. We would not consider staying anywhere else if we are lucky enough to return to the Isle of Skye.

Tracey provided us with a very helpful map that detailed all the main tourist attractions and gavd us suggestions as to what was worth visiting. We dined at the Red Skye restaurant just outside Broadford which we thoroughly recommend.

Would Recommend: Yes

We thoroughly enjoyed having you to stay. You certainly made the most of your time here and took full advantage of our location to visit the local attractions like the Fairy Pools, Talisker and Dunvegan. We hope to see you again.

Located within easy drive of Glen Brittle (for Cuillins, Fairy Pools) and to Talisker.

Thank you very much for your fantastic feedback. We thoroughly enjoyed having you to stay at Trien Lodge and also picking your brains about where to visit in the Torridon area! We would love to welcome you back.

10th September 2020:

Fantastic B&B. Good quality delicious breakfast, large bedroom, very comfortable bed. Owners were very accommodating - serving us a very early cooked breakfast so we could get an early start out on the hills and then offering to dry all our clothes when we returned. Thoroughly recommend.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your great feedback. We thoroughly enjoyed having you here and hearing about your exploits on the fells. Good luck with 'bagging' your final Munros.

Everything about our stay fantastic, couldn’t have asked for more. Will definitely be back on our next Skye trip!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you Rachel for your kind words. We loved having you to stay and look forward to welcoming you back.

2nd September 2020:

My husband and I stayed here for two nights recently while traveling around Skye and thought it was great! We had a nice, large and comfortable room w views of the loch and the Cuillins. Everything was very clean, and we appreciated the attention to detail- they seemed to have thought of everything you could possibly want/need. Upon arrival we were offered coffee/tea and generous slices of lemon drizzle cake, which was lovely. The cooked breakfast every morning was delicious and kept us going until dinner time. The owners were very welcoming and friendly and we had some fun chats with them. Highly recommend!

This is a great base for the Cuillins and Glenbrittle. We went walking both days, visiting the Fairy Pools and Coire Lagan while there. See the routes on walkhighlands.co.uk.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely feedback Alison. We loved having you to stay and are pleased that you were able to really explore the island and do some great walks. We'll take your cue and walk Coire Lagan in the autumn.

23rd August 2020:

This is a top class B&B with luxurious rooms, en suite shower room and walk in cupboard, ideal for clothes storage and airing. The breakfast of fruit juice, cereal, toast, bacon, sausage, black pudding etc is excellent and kept me going all day. Great service from the hosts. The location is ideal to access Glen Brittle, Portree, Carbost and Broadford. This is the best B&B I've stayed in.

The old inn in Carbost is a short distance away and ideal for meals and drinks. Talisker distillery is in Carbost and is worth a visit. Glen Brittle is nearby for access to the mountains and the sea. The town of Portree is a half hours drive away. Picturesque Talisker Bay is a short drive away also.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th August 2020:

We had the most wonderful stay! It was the best accommodation of our entire trip because the hosts were incredibly friendly and everything was clean and spotless. Tracey and Ted welcome you in their home in such a wonderful way that you truly feel at home. The guest house is easy to reach and one has a stunning view. Also, the communication prior to, during and after our stay was extraordinary. In a way, we got more than we booked and paid for - including cuddles with the dog and we were always offered a cup of tea, glass of wine and even cake when we returned from our trips.

Tracey and Ted give you wonderful tips on where to eat out. Also, they know about beautiful hidden gems for amazing hikes nearby.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your review. We thoroughly enjoyed having you both here and being able to show you the fabulous wildlife on the doorstep.

19th July 2020:

Everything about Trien Lodge is excellent. From the warm and friendly greeting from Tracey and Ted, to the spacious bedroom, very comfortable bed and super shower, and first class breakfast, this B&B is definitely worth a visit. The location is superb, with spectacular views of the shoreline in front and Cuillins behind. It is also ideally situated to access all parts of Skye. We shall return!

Although not open yet because of Covid19 restrictions, the Talisker distillery is withing walking distance. We would also recommend the walk at Glen Brittle which is nearby. Portree is only 30 minutes away and if csrrot cake, veggie burgers and coffee is your thing, Cafe Ariba is a must.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely review. We loved having you to stay with us and would love to welcome you back to Trien Lodge again.
