Our own self contained living/dining room with a bedroom alcove and bathroom. Quaint, charming and comfortable. Di and Julian were friendly and welcoming and breakfast and dinner were excellent. Take wine. Would like to have stayed another night. Remote and beautiful and one of the most interesting places we have stayed. More

The self-contained nature of the Byre, along with an excellent breakfast and low cost make this a great-value B&B on Skye. It's very small so more than a day or so would have you stir-crazy, but it's excellent for a quick visit. More

While small, we thought this was a great value focused B&B which was self contained as a guest. You are the only guests there with your own entrance so there was no worry of bothering others. The owners were friendly and nice as well and cooked up a very tasty breakfast. Would definitely stay again- though recognize for a long... More

What a unique little place - a cosy room thats more than your average B&B room with a comfy leather sofa, dining table and chairs, TV/DVD player and fabulous views out over the glen - even on a miserable day. Nice fresh flowers and frwsh milk for our tea - nice little touches. We found it to be very charming... More

The Byre is one end of Di and Julians "But and Ben" cottage, a typical highland cottage down to the Red corrugated roof. The Byre has been finished to a high standard and consists of a double bed, a sitting area, with flat screen T.V. a table and chairs to eat at and your own bathroom, the area is light... More

This is a B&B like no other we have stayed in. Di and Julian fully deserve all the rave reviews in The Byre visitors book. We stayed four nights, with the intention of having evening meals on the 1st two nights, but Di`s cooking was so good and the accommodation so cosy, that wild horses could not have dragged us...

We booked our stay for 4 nights but unfortunately did not leave the NW of England early enough on our first day and got caught in traffic on the M6. Arrived a day late with our two schnauzers in tow. Diane and Julian were very welcoming and we especially liked the magic door through which the wonderful home cooked meals... More

We selected the Byre based on it's picture alone and had no reason to regret our choice. We arrived, by bicycle, on a miserable Sunday afternoon, soaked through having slogged through the leading edge of hurricane Katia, to be told that the local restaurant (that's local as defined by soggy and knackered cyclists) had inexplicably decided to close on Sunday...

We stayed in The Byre for one night during our trip around Scotland. It's a bit off the main track but this makes a stay in Skye special and always worth a few extra miles. Julian and Diana are great hosts and Diana's home cooked dinner was excellent. No need to go out for dinner, better buy a bottle of... More

We arrived early in the morning to confirm the address and were greeted by guests leaving. They raved about The Byre and recommended that we get a good bottle of wine and have Di and Julian cook supper. We did exactly that and wow what an evening. We sat out in the garden and gazed over Glendale and the amazing... More
