We stayed at the Tarven B&B for 4 nights, while day hiking on the Isle of Skye. The room was very clean, nice wine glasses, a fine breakfast, with great yogurt, a huge choice of cereals, and meats and cheeses, in a wonderful sun room. Our hostess, Maria, was super. She even let us use her clothes line to drying... More

Stayed here for 2 nights and we loved it! The b&b is in a lovely setting just a short walk away from Portree- the owners were all so lovely and helpful and we couldn't have asked for any nicer hosts!! Breakfast was lovely and they catered for us so we could eat earlier due to taking part in the half... More

Everything was super clean and the beds were very good.The bathroom is new with a hot high pressure shower, good quality bath towels and a heated towel rack which was nice.

We had a wonderful time on Skye. The weather was perfect, but we also really enjoyed staying at Tarven. My husband usually prefers the anonymity of a hotel, but even he loved this B&B. The accommodation is well-designed, with the self-catering cottage and the three guest bedrooms at one side of the building and the family's accommodation at the other... More

Myself and two friends were on Skye mountain biking and Tarven B&B proved to be the perfect choice for our 3 night stay on Skye. Maria was the perfect hostess with a genuine warm scottish welcome and a great sense of humour to have a laugh with. I'm sure she would do all she can to ensure her guests have... More

We have just spent four days at Tarven Cottage in Portree and had a wonderful time. The cottage is a real home from home, very comfortable and beautifully decorated and furnished. Lots of little extras to make your stay that little bit more comfortable. The cottage has one double bedroom and one twin bedded room with plenty of drawer and... More

Tarven was perfect for our 2 nights on Skye. After travelling for several days straight, we enjoyed the chance to stay in such a comfortable space. In addition to a comfortable room, we spent time in the sun-filled lounge. Maria gave us excellent advice on things to do around the island, also; it fel like staying with a friend. Super... More

We have just returned from spending four nights at Tarven. We had a really warm welcome from Maria and Jerry. Our room was comfortable and light, with an adjoining en suite. The new dining / sitting area was great; a space to relax after a day out. We enjoyed the breakfasts where there was always a a good choice. Maria... More

Just returned home after 7 weeks of travelling the world and had to write a review about the wonderful time we spent at Tarven on the Isle of Skye. Travelling as a family group, we were exhausted by the time we reached Skye and just wanted some down time to relax . Located in a quiet spot just outside of... More

My wife and I spent three nights with Maria and Jerry and can not recommend this B&B highly enough. Everything was brilliant, the room, the breakfast and the the sitting area are all 5 star quality. As for the hospitality, there is not a high enough star rating. This is a home where you are invited in to spend some... More
