We were camping in the Hebrides and of course we were caught in the wind and the rain. Still exploring the Isle , we decided to stay with Sue and Greg for a night. Their hospitality was as warm as the comfortable bed we slept in. The breakfast was excellent as they helped us plan our tour of the Isle.... More

Stayed at this friendly b&b whilst on a touring holiday of the isle of Skye and loch ness and I was definitely not disappointed.

Greg and Sue have been really welcoming and made our stay and trip in Staffin very comfortable and relaxing. We stayed two nights - 25th and 26th sept. Greg&Sue would definitely go the extra mile to make guests feel comfortable and happy. Though it was extremely windy at night, Greg reassured us that we'll be safe. :) Every little detail... More

We stayed at the Achtalean for one night in August. Originally we were disappointed not to be able to book a reservation at one of the B&Bs closer to the main town of Portree, but it turned out to be our good luck. The Achtalean is a bit of a drive beyond Portree up a sometimes one-lane road that you... More

I stayed in Achtalean for a whole week and it alway felt like being home. Greg and Sue gave me a very warm welcome. My room was very comfortable, quiet and clean.

A perfect jumping-off spot for anyone planning to see the Trotternish area. Sue and Greg are wonderful hosts and made us feel right at home. The place is spotless. Delicious breakfasts. Greg is a qualified mountaineer and gave us great advice for our walks on the Storr and the Quiraing, complete with maps. Highly recommended. More

My boyfriend and I spent 10 days travelling around Scotland and we stayed in various b&b over our holiday, but, undoubtedly, Achtalean was the best one ever. It cannot even be compared with the others where we stayed because it was so nice: a very high standard. Our room was fantastic with an amazing sea view. Everything was so clean... More

Lovely and comfortable, our upper bedroom looked out over the magnificence of the Quirang and Staffin Bay. Greg and Sue are gracious hosts, and I can think of no better place to stay while exploring the beauty of Skye. More
