“Wonderful stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2007

Stayed here for three nights while exploring the surrounding area. The owners were quite new at it (think they had taken over the property just a few weeks earlier).
The proprietors were very helpful in recommending sites to explore, restaurants to visit and walks. And the view from our bedroom window was almost worth the trip in itself (stunning sunshine with a slight haze over Loch Alsh).
Great Highland-breakfast with other options for those who wants a lighter meal.
Extremely close to pub, shop and postoffice (two-three doors down). And plenty of parkingspaces just outside the gates.
Will come back again.

“Great base for exploring Isle of Skye”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2006

Arrived at the Old Post Office House in the early evening after the pretty train ride from Inverness to Kyle. As it was foggy when we arrived, we were quite surprised to wake up to the beautiful site of the Isle of Skye through the front window of the b&b. The rooms were very clean, spacious and comfortable. The traditional english breakfast was extremely good and learning about the area from the owners was very informative. Would definitely recommend this b&b, but be sure to rent a car to properly see the Isle of Skye.

“A hidden gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2006

We had a dleightful stay at the welcoming little B&B with comfortable rooms and a lovely breakfast. The room overlooked the Loch and the location was ideally placed close to the Isle of Skye for local touring. The owners were remarkably friendly and helpful. We liked the place and the area so much we extended our stay by an unplanned day (which gave us the chance to try and enjoy the pancakes at breakfast). Thoroughly recommended.

“Lovely B&B with a great view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2006

We stayed at this little B&B for one night on a tour of Scotland last week and would definitely recommend it. Our room was very clean, newly decorated and well-equipped. It wasn't en suite (cos the en suite double was already booked when we enquired) but the bathroom was only shared with one other room (a twin) which wasn't occupied so we effectively had the bathroom to ourselves. The room had a great view over a little loch and some hills, and the B&B is in a good location for touring Skye as it is only 10-15 minutes from the Skye Bridge. Breakfast was great, chosen from a menu the night before and served in a beautiful dining room with a view over the loch. All in all a good find that we would use again. We paid £45 for double (shared bathroom), double en suite was £50.
One of the owners also runs a massage business from the premises so if you fancy treating yourself this could be the place for you.
See good website, (-) for more info on rates etc.
