This B&B made our trip to Skye special and memorable!
When we arrived, our hosts, Chris and Janet, welcomed us, then ushered us into the lounge where there was a welcoming coal fire in the fireplace, a sidebar with tea and snacks, lounging chairs, articles and books written by our host as well as other reading material. They showed us our bathroom, clean and full of whatever we might want or need. Then they led us to our room upstairs,
which had a lovely view of the Waternish point out the front and a view of their gardens and the moors beyond out the back window. The wind was howling and we couldn?t wait to curl up in the comfy bed.
However, we had requested dinner, which was an excellent decision. It was a delicious, home cooked meal which included a glass of wine, salad freshly picked from their garden, sliced beef, coleslaw, potatoes, home made bread, and fresh fruit with cream for desert. Perfect after a busy day and too much restaurant food in the past few days!
Chris and Janet only take one set of guests at a time so you are catered to individually and have full use of all areas described, as they stay in a separate area of the house. They are very accommodating and we felt like we were staying with friends instead of being guests, a very fine distinction.
The next morning, after an outstanding breakfast, we set out on a
prearranged hike with Chris, which was exceptional as Chris is a naturalist and told us all about the flora and fauna and showed us the nest of a peregrine falcon with his telescope.
Before we left Janet brought us some scones for our journey. Our big mistake was only allowing one night here as we were distressed at having to leave so soon.
For location, atmosphere, cleanliness, great food, and friendliness of the hosts, we rated Croft 3 our favorite B&B of our entire trip!!!
