About this property

The Barn, Culnacnoc, Portree, Skye

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.

Unbeatable location to experience the beauty of Skye. Having Brother’s Point as your personal backyard was amazing. Lovely secluded “barn”!

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

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.

A perfect cottage in Skye

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!

Stunning retreat

We can’t say enough good things about Cat, Kel and their crew. They helped us make arrangements beyond just lodging and really connected us to the communities on Skye. The Barn is a beautiful modern adaptation of a historic structure and the setting and trail location are spectacular.

Lovely, secluded property

Lovely property, well maintained, very clean and well kept. We stayed when the weather was quite rainy and extra blustery, so the only small challenge was navigating our car down the single track ruts to the property (standing water hid the potholes!) It is extremely secluded which we loved.
