The formula at Coruisk House works a charm! Everything from the décor to the atmosphere has a relaxed but tasteful simplicity about it. The bedrooms have a rustic uncluttered charm but at the same time the best of bed linens and towels have been used. And the locally handmade Skye soaps add a scent-sational touch! The food on both nights... More

We have stayed at Coruisk House a number of times over the years, with the previous owners and were a little concerned when we heard it had changed hands - but these concerns were completely misplaced! While the new owners Ian and Clare have a completely different approach to the whole business, there was no less of a welcome than... More

Dear Alan Thank you so much for your lovely review and we do hope you both come and stay with us again. The resident cuckoo is also just recovering from being covered in snow in May!! We note your comments with regard to the cold and we are going to ensure it doesn't happen again! We think you will notice... More

I ate here and my two friends stayed here one beautiful evening at the end of March. What an amazing place! The first thing to say is what an exceptionally warm and friendly welcome from the owners Clare and Iain. The service was excellent and they looked after us so well! Thank you so much! I’ve not felt this relaxed... More

Stayed as a couple, for 1 night in late March. The bedroom was fabulous - the best quality bedding and towels, spotlessly clean and styled beautifully. However, if you think that's good, wait until you eat. The food was staggeringly good. The freshest ingredients, prepared with care, flair, imagination and attention to detail. It's a place that takes it's food... More

Thank you and we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and that the Cuillin ridge appeared from its 'occasional' shrouds of mist while you were here. We love the photograph by the way! We hope to welcome you both again to Coruisk House in the not too distant future. With our very best regards Clare and Iain More

It's a pleasant area, although you need to have a car as transport is dire to get to Elgol at any time of year. The establishment is good in many ways but too expensive for the basic provisions on offer. Small room was too much money. More

Thank you for your review and your positive comment. We are sorry that Coruisk House was perhaps not to your taste. It is an original cottage rather than purpose built bed and breakfast accommodation which we think adds to its charm. We are a little bemused by your opinion that the rooms are small as this is not the case... More

My wife and I had booked the Three Chimneys for our anniversary but wanted to extend our stay at somewhere less expencive for two more nights. We were so lucky to choose Coruisk House and be met by the delightful Claire with tea and home made peanut shortbread. Our room was cosy with very comfortable bed and an interesting access... More

We stayed one night at Coruisk House in Elgol and thoroughly enjoyed it. The owner Iain could not have been more friendly and helpful and was a fanastic cook! We really enjoyed our dinner - I had squat lobsters (delicious!) and then fish pie and my partner had butternut squash and rosemary soup (totally divine - we had to ask... More

We came to Coruisk House in August 2011. Just one night, for a treat to ourselves as we're not hardened campers. It was the best night of the week. Elgol itself is a beautiful place and the hotel looked nothing special as we drove up to it, but once in side and in our cosy room it was fabulous. The... More

We chose Coruisk House for a weekend Birthday Treat and we were not disappointed. We took our bikes with us to give us some flexibility while touring Skye, but Elgol remains unique and absolutely seductive, even when it's raining. (There's a weather station next door - see http://www.isleofskyeweather.org.uk/24elgol/). Iain and Clare are the perfect hosts and uncompromising in their attention... More

We spent a very enjoyable time at Coruisk House with its new owners. The restaurant with its fresh shell fish was excellent and the rooms were comfortable and with character. The Elgol area was the best bit of Skye. . . More
