If you are in Skye definitely consider a stay at Phoenix House in Carbost. Carbost is a lovely quiet village, by the Talisker Distillery. Chris and Elaine were excellent hosts. We had read rave reviews on Trip Advisor, and decided to stop there for two nights during our trip around the Highlands. The rooms are spacious and fully equipped, the... More

A welcome reprive from the drizzle we encountered. The rooms were delightfully decorated and the view was smashing. Chris and Elaine were lovely hosts and the breakfast was amazing. ( The homemade bread and muffins were excellent.) The stay was simply fab. More

Really can't fault the Phoenix. Great room with a view over the loch, Chris and Elaine made us feel at home and very welcome, the breakfasts were just the best and set us up nicely for the day. We stayed a week and will most definitely be returning. More

Phoenix House was our last stop on Skye and it was the best. Chris and Elaine are great hosts. The room was excellent (the Rennie Macintosh) - spacious with a lovely view over Loch Harport, and everything you need including a wide range of books, and some lovely Highland Soap Co. shower gel etc - I never use toiletries provided,...

After a very long drive the car crunched over the gravel into the carpark of Phoenix house. The door opened and there was Chris. Before I'd even got out of my car my host was there to meet me - how wonderful and how rare! My room was really comfortable and the bed the best I'd slept in for a... More

Thank you Katey for your kind review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and also the muffins and the bread. We think bed and breakfasts should provide the personal touch with hotels being so much more expensive and impersonal. It really matters to us what our guests think of us. We cannot get it right all the time... More

Lovely views across the loch, excellent rooms and lovely hosts. Very clean and spacious rooms, great breakfast and always a warm wlecome. Great location for visiting the attractions and also for those visitors looking for a base for climbing and/or walking holidays. Local pub opposite and close to the Talisker Distillery - what more could you want. More

What a great place to stay, Chris is an outstanding character and very personable, we thoroughly enjoyed our two days here and rated it as one of the best places we ever stayed. Location is awesome, scenery, as you would expect in Skye is outstanding and some great walks to do, if you feel up to it. Cannot think of... More

Right next to the Talisker Disillery, in a small town. Our stay in the Rennie McIntosh Room was excellent. A big, nicely decorated and clean room with all you needed. We didn't see too much of the host as they had some friends over, but I can say that breakfast was good too. More
