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”!

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.

Amazing! The house is so cozy, beautifully laid out and well appointed. Great mattresses, towels, water pressure, etc. But really it's the incredible views from every single window (green rolling hills dotted with white sheep and the ocean out in the distance) and being along the path to Brother's Point that makes this place so special. We stayed in 3 rentals during our UK trip and this was by far the best and we all wish we had booked it for longer. We certainly hope to be back some day! One word of warning, we had a small SVU rental (Nissan Qashqai) and it just barely fit down the road to the rental - definitely wouldn't recommend a larger vehicle when visiting. Also, it's a good 25-30 min drive to Portree with limited food options closer by, so I would definitely recommend grabbing some groceries on your way there - you're going to want to hangout at/near 'the barn'. The tap water there was delicious, so no need for bottled water.

You absolutely cannot beat the location of this home--close to Fairy Glen, Fairy Pools, minutes from Quiraing and Man of Storr. Quiet and private, with rolling hills as your view and a few minute hike down tot he coastline. The house was spotless and comfortable. This was our favorite property that we stayed at during our two week tour of Scotland. Highly recommend, and we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

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!

Beautiful house the pictures don't do it justice. The setting is amazing.
Only difficulty was that I struggled to get in touch with the owner once booked as the contact details on VRBO were not correct and I had no response to messages sent on VRBO. I had to Google the place to get the correct contact details. A confirmation directly from the owners would have been appreciated as otherwise you won't receive any instructions until 72h prior. I didn't want to wait this long to find out if there was a problem as it wouldn't have given us long to deal with any issue.
Once I made contact they were very responsive and helpful.

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.

This Skye property was one of my favorite VRBOs of all time. We explored Skye during the day and came home to the most cozy house with beautiful views in every direction. It was amazing!

When we first pulled down the driveway we knew we made the right decision. The photos do not do justice for the spectacular view we had for the week. We were greeted with a gift from the host that was just what we needed after a 5 hour drive from the airport. If you are looking for a place that is in the center of skye look no further. When we return we will defintely be seeing if this house is availble for us again.

We absolutely loved staying at The Barn. My family had ample and comfortable room to gather and to retreat. The rooms and spaces were cozy and clean and incredibly family friendly. We made and shared meals together in the well equipped kitchen and meandered the very near shore walk each day of our stay. It was sunny and stunning the entire visit! The property location is spectacular, as we were just “out of the fray” but near enough to enjoy so much that the island invites and highlights. All of my children (three teens!) said the Barn (and Skye) was their most favorite stop and stay along our UK visit. We would highly recommend a stay here.

This 3 bedroom, two bath stone barn has plenty of space for sleeping and two large couches in the living room for down time. Beautiful views from the front door and all windows. The location is right on a hiking trail to brothers point. There is a gate to the barn property and the house faces away from the hiking trail so we really didn’t notice the hikers. Arrive with food! The kitchen is well equipped but it’s a drive to Portree for the nearest food shop. There is a small one in staffin that has essentials. The Quiraing hike is the most beautiful in the area although challenging. We went to Lealt falls and the Old Man of Storr as well.

Heavenly property, felt like home - very comfortable, quiet, well appointed, clean, deceptively big on the inside. Location has incredible vistas and bonus walking access to Brothers Point - a hidden gem in our opinion and a great place to explore the Skye coastline without popping into the car. The picnic table is a great touch. The location (north of Portree on the upper part of the Trotternish peninsula) is ideal to access nearby hillwalking trails, the more common tourist routes as well as the less traveled routes. Note that most of the roads in these areas are single track, making for some fun driving. We didn't have dark skies given the time of year, but we expect the night sky in the darker months must be incredible here. We're bookmarking this property as one of our "must returns." Thank you for helping us make some wonderful memores on this trip.

The location was outstanding and we really enjoyed our stay at The Barn. We would highly recommend your place to others. The beds were excellent except for the single beds which were not large enough for an average sized adult. The French Press was nice but it would be so much better to have either a Nespresso or a similar type of machine. It would be good to invest in a few more kitchen amenities, eg, knives that are sharp, a carrot peeler (it was broken), some steak knives.

"The Barn" ist ein aussergewöhnliches Mietobjekt in sehr ruhiger Lage mit Blick auf Schafherden und dem Meer. Das Haus liegt nur wenige Minuten vom Aussichtspunkt "Brother's Point" entfernt, bei guter Sicht sieht man auf das Massiv des "Old Man of Storr".
Das Haus selbst ist sehr stilvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen!

This was our third stay at The Barn and it feels like coming home.
The house just welcomed us and the stay passed all to soon. Maybe book for 6 months next time?
Be assured, there will a next time!

The Barn is set in a rural location with great walks on the doorstep including Storr (taking in the Old man of Storr on the way, the views from the Barn are Fantastic including the chance for some stargazing we were fortunate to have some crystal clear nights and were treated to some great views. Although the Barn is set in the rural location of Culnacnoc it is not to far from Portree which has a great variety of cafes, bars and restaurants. The Barn is well equipped and very clean, we would recommend a stay in the Barn and intend a return visit ourselves.

The property was larger than expected and has a luxury feel to it. Location is perfect. This is our 3rd time to Skye and out of all locations we’ve stayed at this was best by far. Close to Portree, close to most attractions. On day one Ben emailed to say he’s there to help if needs be, which was nice. The fireplace was great and gave such a warm feeling to our winter stay. Great views from the garden to the surrounding countryside.

We were really looking forward to this trip, but had to cancel last minute due to medical reasons. I look forward to booking this property again and visiting Skye soon. Any communication we had with the owners was first class and they were very helpful with our situation

We loved our cozy stay at The Barn. A great location for Old Man of Storr and the Quiraing . We loved watching the sheep and taking the path to Brother's Point down on the ocean- a hidden gem! Ben was very easy to communicate with and checking in and out was simple. We will definitely be back- thank you!

Cute and cozy three-bedroom with open views of sheep grazing down to the sea. Secluded without being isolated. However, beware this is not really near Portree but half an hour down a sometimes-one-lane road away.
