Guest Reviews
- Dominik (10/5): - Best bed and breakfast we have stayed at. Mairi and her dog Paolo are incredibly nice
- Jinghui (8/5): - 如果早餐能提供热食就好了!另外,希望房间有挂衣架或柜子!
- Audrey (9/5): A very nice place to stay in Skye Island, far from the touristic area. With Mairi & Paolo - Tighnamara is a local house where Mairi & Paolo (Nuttini) will warmly welcome you. The place and environment are absolutely beautiful : the view, the room, the sheeps outside, etc. We loved talking with Mairi about her recommandation, the life in Skye and Scotland, her availability for us. We love that kind of B&B. We definitively recommand, you feel like home. Nothing
- Victoria & Philip (10/5): Great location and value. - Location and Marie was an excellent host.
- Theresa (10/5): -
- Janine (10/5): Wonderful! - Thank you Mairi and of course Paolo to helping me find my thin place. Your beautiful home provided every possible comfort - a pretty and well appointed room, great views and delicious breakfasts. I promise I will return ❤️ Absolutely nothing, a wonderful stay.
- Julie (10/5): Marée was a super host. Breakfast was yummy. Residents pooch Paulo was super cute. Definitely be back for another stay. - The property was very clean and tidy. It was in a beautiful location with amazing views
- George (10/5): A beautiful home away from home on Skye - Our stay on the Isle of Skye was truly wonderful, and we could not have asked for a warmer or more gracious host than Mairi. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, she made us feel genuinely welcome and completely at home.
The house was beautiful, the room was exceptionally comfortable, and everything was arranged in a way that gave us both privacy and independence at all times. As this was the first time my wife and I (George and Dimitra) had ever stayed in a room within someone’s home, we initially felt a little uncertain, but the experience exceeded our expectations in every possible way.
Each morning, we enjoyed a delicious homemade breakfast with a stunning view, both from the house itself and from the dining area, which made the experience even more special. The Isle of Skye is magical in its own right, but the warmth of the hospitality and the charm of the home made our stay even more memorable.
We also absolutely adored Paolo, Mairi’s dog, who was playful, friendly, and such a lovely presence throughout our stay. He added an extra touch of joy and made us feel even more at ease.
We left with the very best impressions and with genuine gratitude for such a beautiful experience. We would wholeheartedly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Skye. Looking forward to visit again.

The view of the sea every morning was lovely and I really enjoyed the hospitality of the host. The Isle of Skye was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined and I would go back in a heartbeat. Nothing to add here. Was a perfect stay.

- Maria (8/5): Lovely Croft house - Mairi was an amazing hostess! The area was so beautiful and peaceful. Paulo was an affectionate bonus. It would be great if there was a sign of some sort on the road. It was a bit difficult to find.

- AC_Australia (10/5): - Very helpful and charming host, who was happy to do extra things to help out.
Room lovely, breakfast was generous and beautifully presented. There is a short walk to the coast just below the property and outdoor seating if the weather had been better. It is a bit out of the way and hard to find.
The room could be a bit awkward if you are tall.
The nearest dinner places are 8 minutes away in either direction.

The breakfast was hearty and perfect for a day of walking (or kayaking, as we did). The room was spotless and has everything, including a fantastic view and the sound of the water. We really can't wait to return. Thanks so much for everything. Everything was perfect; we couldn't fault anything.
- Joanne (9/5): Superb -

Would definitely go again.

- Simon (10/5): Skye's best B&B. - Very friendly host, welcoming and knowledgeable. Our room was beautiful looking over the sea, with lovely sunsets. The breakfast was an excellent, delicious continental style with lots of choice. Delightful young dog who loves a fuss.
Excellent location for us, being very close to our ferry off the island. All attractions on the island are easily found, and as long as you are comfortable with single-track roads with passing places, the island is an absolute gem. (If you really are not happy with the single-track roads with passing places, then you need to keep to the cities of Scotland and not venture too far)! Everything was absolutely perfect.
- Andrew (8/5): Great stay in a welcoming home. - Room was clean, cosy and functional. Breakfast was good and plentiful. We loved the beautiful location along with the peace and quiet. Mairi was a very helpful and friendly hostess. Paolo the dog was great! We would have liked the option of a cooked breakfast, although we weren't expecting this. We would have liked clear instructions about the location of the cottage, although thanks to Google maps, we found it without much difficulty.
