Kiloran Self Catering Suite

We loved the place next to the sea (and seals!) and close to all the highlights in Skye. Neil gave us a warm welcome and was very friendly and helping. The basket with bread, cereals and the home baked muffins were awesome! Love to visit again. Thank you!

Kiloran is what might be called a "mother in law" suite in the US - a self-contained bedroom/kitchen area attached but separate from a main house. The best things about it - the hosts were lovely, helpful and friendly. They will offer suggestions and know where to go, both top 10 sites and less traveled ones. Facilities are comfortable and bright. There is a huge window with a glorious view (slight negatives - it doesn't open, so it can get stuffy if the sun is coming directly in, and you're on the ground floor, so there is a small chance of someone looking in). The area is quiet and there's a seal colony at the end of the road, that is a treat to visit at low tide. For those with movement issues, there are no steps. To help decide if this is right for you: You're right next to a main house, and you can hear folks move about. No big deal unless you were looking for absolute privacy. This rental wouldn't work without a car. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get to the main town, Portree. There are no services close by, the road is residential. I liked the quiet. If you're driving, Skeabost takes about an hour to reach from the Kyle of Lochalsh bridge or about 75 minutes from the Armadale ferry, but is well situated to see much of the island - basically right in the middle. Facilities: There's a complete orientation manual waiting for you on arrival, along with breakfast items (bread, cereals, milk, OJ, and some pastries) along with some home baked goody. There was also salt, pepper, some cooking oil and some butter. The kitchen is simple – you could make eggs, toast, a salad or boil pasta. You want a smoothie, bring your own blender. Small things that would make a difference: some containers and sandwich or quart sized bags, a dish rack, an empty pitcher to chill water, and a small fan. Skye is not hot, but the room doesn't cross-ventilate so well.

None of the things mentioned above were deal breakers - I've gone into a lot of detail just to help people make a choice.

This suite was perfectly built for a couple who wants to visit any area of the Isle of Skye. Portree is just over 15 minutes away for plenty of food options. The seal colony that hangs out at the end of the end of the street is a nice bonus!

Self catering A great welcome basket with lovely cakes.

Everything was great. Cosy clean quiet with amazing views.

The view was fantastic, everything was wonderfully clean, cosy, a modern bathroom, and we had a wonderful welcome basket with cereal, , milk, orange juice, butter, wonderful muffins, coffee….The hosts were very nice and gave great tips for excursions and there was seal watching close by.

Beautiful location, very thoughtful welcome pack.

The view. The "welcome-package" was amazing. The instructions were great too. Room is cozy, quirkey and personal. That was so great. You can see that the hosts put in effort and passion. Thanks for making a stay like this possible.

2 seperate beds would have been nice. But I ordered the room anyway because of the location, view and self serving arrangement.

Very nice room and host. Seal colony near the house

Nothing

Informal friendly, thoughtful basic provisions.

Can't think really.
