“Cosy Little Homely Place to Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2009

We went up to the Isle of Skye for 4 days over New Year and stayed in Maltby B+B for our first 2 nights. Barbara was a perfect hostess - she was helpful and accomodating without being intrusive. Her house was a really cosy and homely place to stay and she made us feel very welcome. It's a shame we couldn't win Jack the dog over though! The breakfast was amazing (I recommend the kippers) - and we were craving Barbara's homemade scones for the rest of the trip!

All in all, a great little cosy place to stay. Well equipped with everything you need and a lovely hostess.

One word of warning - the B+B is set back off the main road and the sign at the end of her lane is very hard to see in the dark! We passed by it about 3 times before finally finding it!

“Priceless B&B!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2009

We stayed at the Maltby for a night while driving through the highlands. Barbara made us feel extremely welcome. We were there on Jan 1st and New Year's day being a holiday, we would have struggled much for a dinner venue, but for Barbara's research and excellent recommendation.

A great place, quaint with excellent views and amazing breakfasts personally prepared and served by Barbara.

We look forward to returning in the summer and spending a few more nights at the Maltby.

“Lovely bed and breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2008

We have just returned from a 4 day stay at Maltby Bed & Breakfast on the Isle of Skye.

The B&B is run by Barbara, an excellent hostess. The rooms were beautifully decorated and absolutely spotless. The house is in an elevated position well away from the road giving breath-taking views across the bay. There was a fabulous open fire in the lounge which was very welcoming to return to as the weather was not too kind to us. Breakfast was a real feast and set us up for the day.

My husband is a photographer and Barbara kindly obtained a book for us that one of her photographer friends had produced which plotted us several routes around the island where we could get great photos. The weather put the kibosh on this somewhat but what we did see of the island made us want to return as the scenery is quite stunning. Barbara also recommended places where we could eat and places to visit off the beaten track that we would never have discovered by ourselves.

This is a lovely place to stay and we can't wait to return. Next time we'll stay longer!

“Enjoyable Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2008

Barbara (the owner) was very welcoming and basically a very pleasant person. We arrived at The Maltby to the smell of fresh strawberry jam being made - brilliant! The bedrooms were very comfortable with tea making facilities etc. and with great sunset views. The house is of traditional design/construction with a dinky stair up to first floor level bedrooms. The bathroom was modern, very clean with all necessary facilities. Barbara takes your breakfast order the night before. Try the home made cheesy scones and the home made jams/marmalade. All in all a good find, in a good location within a few miles of the Skye bridge.

“Very warm welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2008

We received a very warm welcome from Barbara and her border terrier companion Jack. Excellent breakfasts, and dinner, too, if you require it. Relaxed atmosphere in a very convenient location on Skye. Very comfortable accommodation with spectacular views.
