A lovely warm welcome with a nice hot drink, a very comfortable king size bed made for a good nights sleep followed by a very nice, tasty breakfast watching the birds just outside the window - what more can you ask for?

I'm a piper who plays the Great Highland Bagpipe. This b & b is almost a stone's throw away from a special place Macgrimmon The Cairn. It's the Mekka for pipers who know some of the history of piping... So it's very speciaal to sleep so close to this Cairn in a great B&B... Cath and Chris the owners are... More

For our first visit to Skye we were about as unlucky with the weather as was humanly possible . . . on the other hand, we count ourselves incredibly fortunate to have spent a few nights in the northwestern part of the island where Cath and Chris Barton run their B&B. Occasionally Tripadvisor readers may have had the pleasurable experience... More

Great B&B! Cath and Chris run a fantastic place. Great location, although my husband wished for a Pub within walking distance. Rooms were comfortable and warm. Breakfasts were wonderful and generous. Great porridge! Take the short walk up to the cairn for a beautiful view of the coastline and the rugged cliffs nearby. Make sure you say Hi to Larry... More

Cath and Chris operate a very picturesque and well run B&B. It is a new home with two lovely ensuite guest rooms. Our room was immaculate and every detail seemed to be well thought out. The bed was comfortable and warm and the bath was spotless and well equipped. The Isle of Skye is a remote place with wild landscapes... More

The B&B has a great location in a location characteristic of Skye. The B&B is facing the water, in the middle of fields pastured by cute baby lambs in the spring time of our visit. Place is close to Dunvegan castle, a must see place. The room is very clean and comfortable. Very generous breakfast, very friendly and helpful hosts.

What a find! We picked Cairn View from a list of b&b's suggested when our initial choice was booked, and we couldn't have found a better place. The setting, while remote, is beautiful and worth the drive. The owners, Cath and Chris, just opened Cairn View a few months back, and they did a great job. They have two rooms.... More

We stayed for 1 night and wished we had stayed longer! It is located on the north-west tip of skye down a narrow road, but the journey is made worthwhile by the fantastic views! We were warmly greeted by the hosts and made to feel very welcome. There were lots of small touches that we loved, (I think in 5-star... More

Your hospitality was above and beyond all expectations. Great view from the room window, very good breakfast, very warm hearted and welcoming. there was nothing missing. A very rural area - that is what you should like..

The hosts here were incredibly welcoming greeting us (we were on honeymoon) with a bottle of champagne and a card. We were very touched. The bedroom was immaculately clean and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was well stocked with toileteries. In the morning Cath and her husband got up before their usual breakfast time to cook for us as we... More
