It is almost a year since our stay at Darnbrook. Apologies to Duncan & Caryl for my tardiness in writing this review. We stayed for 4 nights in early April. Darnbrook is located in the most stunning spot overlooking the pretty little village of Stein and to the Outer Hebrides, and in the field in front there were Highland cattle.... More

What more could you ask for (other than the weather)? Great hospitality, great views, great breakfasts & great local knowledge. Our third stay with Caryl & Duncan & it was lovely to return again. Sitting at breakfast with that view over the bay to the Outer Hebrides is just something else! More

We stayed for three nights in June and were very impressed with Duncan and Caryl's warm hospitality and excellent local knowledge. As others have mentioned, the rooms are quite compact and the bathrooms more so, however, they're very clean and tidy and the bright, airy sitting room with its large library of books and great views makes up for that....

This was my first stay at the delightful Darnbrook B&B and I’m sure it will not be my last. Arriving in the early evening with the sun low in the sky above the Outer Hebrides really set the scene for what turned out to be a perfect Easter Break on the Isle of Skye – a stay made additionally special...

This was a repeat visit to Darnbrook for my partner and I as we had enjoyed Caryl's and Duncan's superb but discreet hospitality at Darnbrrok several times before. If you are looking for an idyllic, peaceful location with wonderful views but within a ten minute stroll to a characterful local pub and excellent seafood restaurant, look no further. Darnbrook is...

The four of us stayed over the Easter weekend 2011, and I can honestly say that we had a truly wonderful and memorable stay. Our rooms were not only very comfortable and spotless, but enjoyed wonderful views over Loch Bay. Danbrook offers a large and comfortable lounge for the use of guests which is well stocked with maps, walking guides... More

We stayed in this excellent B & B during a visit to the West Highlands. It is on the Waternish Peninsula so provides a central base to explore the northern part of Skye. It is close to both Dunvegan and Uig. Duncan and Caryl gave us a huge amount of advice on where to go and what to see, and... More

My wife and myself stayed here for 3 nights and we both thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Caryl and Duncan couldn't have been nicer and made us feel like one of the family from the minute we got there. They are very knowledgeable about the local area and gave us loads of helpful tips on where to eat and go walking.... More

There is no getting away from the fact that Darnbrook B&B rooms are small and cramped. The room we were allocated (Room No. 1) has a window which has been installed upside down and which only opens a tiny bit at the top thereby ensuring that only the minimum amount of air gets into the room. We had to unpack... More

We read this review and were both saddened & bemused. Saddened because two guests have left unhappy with our facilities. However, we are bemused and surprised by your comments. If you had taken the time to read our website and previous Tripadvisor reviews before booking on-line, you would surely have seen clearly stated that our rooms & en-suites are small,... More

We stayed at Darnbrook for two nights and are very satisfied. The room was very clean and the beds were the most comfortable we had during our two weeks in Scotland. The room had a panorama window with a stunning view towards the Outer Hebrides. Caryl and Duncan are very friendly and caring for their guests. They give you a... More
