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.

• Raksha (10/5): Perfect stay for the perfect holiday - The room was really clean and cosy. Paolo the dog was very sweet and the breakfast provided was delicious and the perfect start to the day. 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.
• Ricardo Cesar (10/5): Excellent stay - Excellent host, very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The place is excellent as well, very clean, comfortable, cozy and beautiful. The breakfast is great and we felt like home.
• Kostiainen (10/5): - Very cozy cottage by the water, a great place to stay for a couple of nights while exploring the Isle of Skye. Lovely host and little co-host Paolo, who made the stay even more special.😍 Great breakfast also!

• Dagmar (9/5): -
• Andrea (10/5): Wonderful experience - Mairi was a wonderful hostess. The setting is beautiful with the view of the water from the window. Breakfast was fabulous. The home is very cozy and inviting. The low ceiling in the bedroom took a little bit of getting used to.
• 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.
• Agnes (10/5): Perfect B&B! - We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Mairi's house. It's in a beautiful location, super comfortable and Mairi (and little Paolo!) was so welcoming (and even saved us when I rolled into a ditch 🤯). Wish we could've stayed longer :)

• CHRIS_SEVEN (10/5): Domowy pobyt i jedzenie - Przepięknie położony obiekt i przemiła właścicielka, przytulny szkocki dom Brak serów i wędlin na śniadaniach
• 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.

• Lozmeister (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! Great location, beautiful views from the house, which was extremely clean! Bed really comfy, the room peacefully quiet with just the wildlife & the sea to listen too! Breakfast really simple but the best quality & plenty to set you up for the day! Please explore the local area!! It is worth it! Mairi & Paolo ( the sweetest dog) were great! Very warm & welcoming! I will be back! That is had to leave & i couldn't take Paolo with me!

• 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.

The view is stunning and the breakfast is beautiful. This is definitely somewhere we would love to return to in the future. Nothing
• Antonietta (10/5): Beautiful views and amazing host! - Excellent! Comfortable room, and bed. Skylight was amazing to have with the kind days.

The breakfast was just what we like. It was not a hot breakfast but we did not want that. Coffee was excellent. it was welcoming, clean and we would go back for sure. The views were exceptional!
