“Clean place, but totally on our own”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed two nights in early April with 3 friends from England. The place is immaculately clean, WiFi and breakfast were great, but we were all quite disappointed at the owner's lack of recommendations or information about local eateries and sights. He was very friendly, but seemed to bring breakfast out in a hurry, then scurry back to a room off the kitchen -- I thought maybe we scared him and he tried to get away. :) If you're looking for a clean, quiet, close location to Skye Bridge, then this is definitely the place, but not if you're looking for a hands-on, helpful owner.

“Spotless”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2011

The obvious things are that the rooms are a good size, super clean and the fabulous breakfast options. The little extras are the nice toiletries in the en suite and Lurpak instead of generic butter. The location is good and unbelievably quiet. At a half hour's walk, Kyle of Lochalsh has lots of cafes, bars and some shops including a Co-op. Much closer is Kyleakin with a few bars. It would be difficult to do Skye without a car so lots of places are within easy reach. On reflection, a sheet or lighter quilt would have been useful as the weather was glorious when we were there, but that's not really a problem. Salento is the perfect place to stay in Skye and the views are lovely, even from the ground floor.

“Fabulous stay! A real gem!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2011

Excellent BnB all the way! Modern, roomy bedroom with en-suite bathroom. No frustrations with internet and wif-fi connection. James is a fantastic host! Breakfast is just the right amount and cooked to perfection. Location may be a bit far from other parts of Isle of Skye but it really depends on where you plan to visit. Regardless, you'll have to drive (or take the bus or hire a private coach/car) anywhere you want to go in Isle of Skye. Salento is located just right after the Skye Bridge, close to Eilean Donan Castle. Definitely a highly recommended Bnb!
