The Barn is a great place to stay if you are looking to have a spacious quiet location. The views are spectacular, on a clear day you can see across to the mainland and the mountains there. There is a path down to the shoreline at the end of the track which is very popular with tourists and a known beauty spot on the Island. The Barn it's self is fully equipped. The kitchen has a dishwasher, fridge freezer, oven and hob wooden work surfaces and feels homely. A great place for entertaining and games or for just relaxing. There are 2 separate bathrooms so no cuing. There is a working fire place for cosying up in the winter. The views from the bedrooms fill you with peace. Here the world is a bit more raw, a bit more exciting and exposed. Free WIFI, Sky TV and the towels and linen are provided for you. We have had some great feedback from guests staying here and we look forward to having you enjoy it as much as they did. Pet Friendly - Pets are allowed in this property but they will be charged at £10 per night per pet to a maximum of 3 pets. We kindly ask if you can keep your pet off the furniture and beds for the duration of your stay. Must be crated or kenneled if left unattended, and must be on a current veterinarian approved flea & tick treatment.

Perfect!
Everything even better than represented! Quiet, clean, bright and charming!
The location was PERFECT for seeing the Isle is Skye. Also, the pictures on the site for this property do not do it justice. The views are actually much better with your own eyes.

The location 10/10 absolutely beautiful !! The peace and calm you feel at this property is like nothing else! And just a short hike down to brothers point. The home itself is beautiful and cosy. The only areas that need slight improvement are the two twin beds upstairs are not the most comfortable and the washer/dryer combo machine does not dry well at all if you’re going to need it. Other than that I would highly recommend this property if you’re looking for relaxation.
We recently enjoyed a brief stay and the location was perfect.

Stunning!!
We loved our stay here. The scenery was unmatched and we were within 20 minutes of the best hikes! We did the Old Mann of Storr and the Quairing and it was so nice to be close to them. The sheep were an extra bonus!
Unbeatable location to experience the beauty of Skye. Having Brother’s Point as your personal backyard was amazing. Lovely secluded “barn”!

The Barn. What a treat!!
Everything we needed and more. So relaxing. Beautiful views, all the comforts of home. Excellent base for all our activities while on Skye. We looked forward to capping off the day heading “home” to The Barn. Definitely want to come back.

Scotland adventure
The Barn is located 15 minutes out of Portree. It is well appointed and comfortable. The Brother beach is walkable from the home. There are sweet sheep everywhere. The beds were comfortable, all appliances worked great and the heat was good. There is a fireplace too. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again

Nice house with room for improvement
Nice location with room for some improvements ( shower, silent doors)
The Barn is 15 minutes out of Portree and central to many sites including Ole Man of Storr. There were 6 in our party and the Barn was comfortable for us. The views are fantastic and the walk to the beach is right there. The beds are good, heat and appliances all worked. Loads of hot water. There is a fireplace but we didn’t use it. There are sheep everywhere and so fun to watch. We would stay there again for sure.

Excellent stay
Lovely rental, fantastic views.
Beds are great, bathrooms with good water pressure. Comfortable seating. Wifi weak as expected in that area. We had a great stay.
This cottage stay was a family favorite for sure! It is private, with incredible views and walks right out the back door. The cottage itself is well-stocked and beautifully decorated -- we loved every bit of our stay at The Barn. If we ever make it back to Skye, we will definitely stay there again!
