Guest Reviews
- Jessica (10/5): Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in der Cruachan Cabin! - In der Unterkunft hat es viel Platz, sodass wir uns problemlos mit unseren zwei großen Koffern im Wohnbereich ausbreiten konnten. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll und gemütlich. Die Küche hatte alles was es brauchte, dazu haben wir von den Gastgebern noch Milch, Toastbrot, Butter, Joghurt und Eier gestellt bekommen. Caroline hat uns persönlich empfangen und auch verabschiedet, worüber wir uns sehr gefreut haben, weil der Aufenthalt dadurch nicht so anonym blieb.
Von der Unterkunft aus hat man einen wundervollen Blick Richtung Berge und kann die Wetterverhältnisse am Old Man of Storr beobachten. Zudem hat man von dort einen recht guten Ausgangspunkt, um die Insel mit dem Auto zu erkunden. Alles in allem hatten wir einen tollen Aufenthalt und würden die Unterkunft jedem empfehlen, der einige Tage auf der Isle of Skye verbringen möchte. Die Unterkunft ist etwas abseits gelegen, weswegen man aus unserer Sicht auf ein Auto angewiesen und nicht ganz so flexibel ist. War für uns aber nicht dramatisch.
- Alison (9/5): - Clean. Location excellent for us. Friendly owner. Cabin obviously very new. Picture isn't of the right cabin, and the right one is nearer to the gate.
A slight mix up with entry details, but resolved quickly.
- Nikolas (10/5): Perfect - Everything was perfect, the host was very welcoming and kindly provided us with bread, eggs, milk, butter and cheese in the fridge. The cabin was spotless and it was in a very quiet location. Perfect for a getaway trip! No notes, Scottish hospitality at its finest.
- Graham (10/5): Amazing. Great location, lovely clean place, friendly helpful hosts. Every facility you could want. - self catering. Hosts had left us bread, milk, eggs, cheese yoghurts
- Anaïs (7/5): Logement très bien placé pour visiter l’île de Skye - Le confort et les équipements proposés dans ce logement ainsi que l’accueil des hôtes Le manque de chauffage dans la salle d’eau
- Videler (10/5): Heerlijk - Netjes, locatie, hele vriendelijke mensen. Niks, was prima. Hadden nog geen bankje buiten, bij navraag, het stond er.
- David (10/5): - Sauberkeit, Ausstattung und Gastfreundschaft sind auf dem höchsten Niveau. Wir würden die Unterkunft sofort wieder buchen. Etwas geringer Wasserdruck in der Dusche, ansonsten war alles perfekt. :)
- Celia (10/5): The most perfect cozy location for exploring Skye - The most beautiful little cabin on the most beautiful property on the most beautiful Isle! We did not want to leave! It was the perfect base for exploring Skye and the hosts were so lovely and kind- top notch hospitality. We would come back in a heartbeat. The kitchen had everything you needed and the hosts put together a top notch information binder. The cabin has gorgeous views and was impeccably clean. Thank you for such an amazing stay!
- Maider (10/5): Absolutely perfect stay – even better than expected! - The Cruachan Cabin is a truly lovely place to stay on the Isle of Skye – even better than I imagined after reading the reviews. It’s comfortable and absolutely spotless (a solid 15 out of 10). The host was so kind and helpful, and the views are just stunning (especially the cows!).
There were some really nice little touches, like finding eggs, milk, butter and cheese in the fridge, really appreciated! The kitchen has everything you need to whip up a quick meal.
It’s also conveniently located, just a short drive from Portree. I completely fell in love with Skye and will definitely come back someday, and I’d love to stay at Cruachan Cabin again. Highly recommended!
- Peter (9/5): -
- Patricia (10/5): A perfect stay and location, would love to return some time. - Everything was brilliant. Nothing or the time going too quickly.
- Hary (10/5): Gemütliche Cabin mit super Lage - Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber (es wurden sogar Toastbrot, Eier, etc. zur Verfügung gestellt). Die Lage ist sehr zentral auf Skye, Portree ist nur ein paar Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt.
Die Cabin war extrem gemütlich und sehr sauber. Tolle Ausstattung in der Küche und das Bett ist auch sehr bequem.
Absolute Empfehlung, ich würde die Unterkunft sofort wieder buchen! Das Badezimmer hat einen kleinen Heizkörper für Handtücher, aber der wärmt den Raum nicht auf. Es war ein wenig ungemütlich kühl, aber auszuhalten. Ansonsten gibt es absolut nichts auszusetzen.

- Marion (10/5): Séjour Génial au Cruachan ! - Le propriétaire - Mearn - était au petit soin.
Le frigo était rempli de petites attentions pour le petit déjeuner et autre: œufs, lait, beurre, pain, thé, café.
La kitchenette était très bien équipée et la chambre très confortable.
La VMC de la salle de bain est bruyante mais peut s’éteindre d’un interrupteur !
Hessie - une petite chatte sauvage - vit autour de la maison, elle aime se faire caresser à la tête et c’était un réel plaisir d’être au milieu des vaches en pleine nature au calme !
- Dario (10/5): -
- Whitney (10/5): - The cabin was large and well furnished.
The host were very helpful and offered us a warm welcome and goodbye.
Many thanks for this stay !

- Michel (10/5): Top Unterkunkt an sehr guter Lage - Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Das Willkommenspaket war sehr herzlich und praktisch (Brot, Butter, Käse, Eier, Joghurt...). Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll. Es hat alles, was man braucht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Die Lage ist als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge ideal.
- Gordon (8/5): Tranquil spot right in the centre of the Isle of Skye with access to all the beauty of the island. - The ADU was in a very tranquil location outside in the countryside. The room was very comfortable and well appointed. The hosts provided fresh milk, eggs, toast and other materials for a breakfast. The wifi worked really well and the room took advantage of a great view overlooking the mountains and forest. The shower was a little challenging, there are some low water pressure issues, which we understand are common in the area and so the water pressure was very weak and it was difficult to regulate between hot and cold water.
- Melih (10/5): Thank you very much for being so friendly and giving a lot of advices around Skye. It was more than a cabin more likely -
- Margaret (10/5): Exceptional -
- Edward (10/5): We loved the cabin and enjoyed the rural surroundings. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. - Not Applicable as the property is self catering. However we were left milk,eggs,cheese butter, bread & yoghurt. Nothing

well equipped
everything worked nothing

- Iain (9/5): Comfortable, welcoming, and great location. - Great location - close to lots of attractions such as the Old Man of Storr, the Quiraing, Fairy Pools, Fairy Glen, Niest Point, and more. Very close to Portree as well. No complaints.

- Dionne (9/5): Superb -
- Leese (10/5): Great place to stay - Cabin was exceptionally clean, modern and comfortable. Few items in fridge etc to welcome us was perfect. Had everything we needed and great views. Good location for touring north of skye and close to Portree. Nothing at all.

They were great to offer suggestions of where to go and what to avoid, when to go, etc. The accommodations were fantastic - very comfortable and homey. It was so quiet and the ambiance was wonderful. Highly recommend staying here! The water pressure in the shower was a little light. That’s it.

- Lorraine (10/5): Superb, spotless, well equipped cabin in an amazing setting. - We enjoyed our stay in this superb, quiet, spotless little cabin in a rural area. Loved the black calves frolicking in the paddock. Wish we could have stayed longer.
- Danielle (10/5): Ideallic Stay on Isle of Skye - Everything was stellar! Our host provided some wonderful staples that helped us with our mornings: bread, butter, milk, coffee, tea, and a perfect vacation kitchen. The shower was huge and the room was very comfortable! Nothing. Everything was perfect.
- David (10/5): Exceptional - The cabin was spacious, spotless and very comfortable. A beautiful place to stay. Furniture and facilities we top notch and the hosts well very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.
- Isabelle (9/5): Lovely and very clean cottage and nearby main touristic sites on the Isle of Skye - Nice little cottage with all the comfort you need, nicely furnished, much attention to details, and even more... the host surprised us with some food in the fridge and a bottle of wine. Parking place nextdoor and well situated on the Isle of Skye : only a 10 min drive from Portree, not far from Man of Storr, Castle of Dunvegan and Quirang. Very quiet.
- Rainer (10/5): It could have been longer .... because of the isle and the accommodation. - Small but enough to feel very comfortable. Well equipped, very quiet location, view of the countryside from the bed.
Very nice hosts who even provided something in the fridge.
Good starting point - not far from Portree - to explore the island (The Quiraing in the North-East, Dunvegan Caste in the West (don't miss the Gardens) and also the south.) The lone rooster could be a bit friendlier ... but the newborn calf was a good compensation for that ;)
- Harry (8/5): We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the friendly interaction with the owners. - Being supplied with the ingredients for a simple meal was appreciated. Nothing
- Jayne (10/5): We stayed 3 nights and used the cabin as a central place. Within 25 minutes of hikes, waterfalls, restaurants and suppl - The cabin is so comfortable! Everything you need - fully stocked. LOVED the welcome gift of wine and supplies! The view from the cabin is amazing!! Bed, so comfy! Not a thing.... all was amazing
- Charette (8/5): Very good - Very nice cabin. It is as shown on the pictures. Host was very nice. Just note that the cabin is located on the host's property. It is surrounded by farms with cows, chicken and sheeps.
- John (9/5): Very comfortable cabin in a lovely setting and great location - Really well thought-out and 'sorted' cabin; well laid out, nicely furnished and well equipped. Nice 'package' of food supplies on arrival. Super-quiet location in the countryside and still close to Portree. Overall very comfortable and welcoming with great use of space. Bright in the early morning - blinds don't keep the light out.
- Ep05313 (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely cabin with everything you need for a stay. Best nights sleep we had while travelling Scotland. The hosts were amazing!
- Stephen (10/5): New, well appointed cabin. Caroline & Mearns went out of their way to make this stay perfect. Great location with st - Very comfortable cabin with excellent facilities. Nothing
- Wayne (9/5): Our stay in Northern Skye was greatly enhanced by our stay at Cruachin cabin. - The cabin is a short distance off the local road. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful about the things we needed to know. A lovely little self contained cabin. Nothing except the endless rain
- Kathrin (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely cottage in the countryside. Ideally located in the middle of Skye island. Really cosy set up with a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. We would stay again if we were back on Skye island.
- Moira (10/5): A fabulous stay - warm and welcoming. - A warm welcome - the host left us a bottle of wine and some provisions to make breakfast/lunch if we wanted. The sign saying “a small home with a big welcome” was very true The drive up to the property is a bit worn but the local taxi driver advised it is one of the best he has driven
- Rob (10/5): An amazing place in the most beautiful island in the world! - The cabin was perfect in every way. The small touches made it a home away from home. I cannot recommend this cabin highly enough. I didn’t want to leave. I wish I’d booked it for a week.
- Christina (10/5): Comfortable with everything you need and a beautiful location. - Beautiful view, great location away from the crowds but close to amazing things to see. Very comfortable bed and great facilities. The kitchen was small bud had exactly what was needed and very easy to use. Can’t complain!
- Tanya (10/5): Silent and great stay. - Location was very silent. But you it is located very centrally to reach all the good places to visit. The refrigerator was equipped with things for a small breakfast and a bottle of wine was also available :-) N.a.
- Emma (10/5): July break - 100% Recommend this accommodation. Absolutely beautiful place to stay in a nice quiet area.
Perfect place to return to, to unwind after having days out walking and visiting places. I'd have lived there if I could.
Hosts were very welcomming, helpful and friendly, very thoughtful of them to have supplies in the cabin, and the wine went down well.
Would definately return again.
Loved it

- Jarvis (10/5): Best Air BNB in Wurope and UK. - Nicest Air BNB we’ve stayed at in over three years of traveling. Every little detail was amazing. Board games, wing-back chairs, breakfast choices, shower bathroom was roomy, front patio area, just everything was top notch. Nothing

- Howell (10/5): The convenience of reaching all of northern Skye and Portree was perfect. Best value for a short two-day stay of our ent - The cabin was self sufficient, quiet and comfortable. Owner was responsive prior to arrival with clear directions. I was cautious about the rural farm road leading to the cabin. The owners house was adjacent and he met us within minutes of our arrival. Nothing.

Enough space for a couple to share. Friendly hosts. Easy parking. Good location. Nice and quiet. Easy to settle in and relax. The shower cubicle and bathroom were a good size. The shower pressure was just enough. Could be more powerful.
