Wonderful barn
Amazing location, very quaint comfortable barn to stay at. Excellent communication with Ben & John regarding our trip. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

Perfectly peaceful and modern barn
The Barn is beautifully presented and was very comfortable for four adults sharing. We stay for three nights which was ideal to see Skye and to go for long walks in the nearby mountains. Highly recommended.

Fantastic stay at The Barn
We loved every minute of staying at The Barn. The cottage is beautiful and ya everything you need to be completely self sufficient. It’s also situated on the way down the the shore and has incredible views. We felt completely relaxed and at home and are already making plans to come back in the spring with friends.

The Barn
We had a great stay at the Barn some great walks on the doorstep and fantastic views, we had had clear skies at night and stars were as so clear you felt you could reach out and touch them. Although set in rural Culnacnoc it is still not to far from Portree which had great variety of cafes and restaurants. We would definitely recommend staying at the Barn.

Review of the Barn at Culnacnoc.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Barn. The accommodation was very good and clean. Ot was also very cosy during two days of extremely strong winds and rain. The facilities and instructions were all first class and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to our friends. We would certainly stay there again in the future.

Just returned home from a fantastic week’s stay at The Barn. The cottage is super clean, cosy and has the most incredible views. Great base for exploring the island also. We loved nothing more than coming home after a busy day of sightseeing and sitting by the wood burning stove. You feel remote as it’s so peaceful but there are houses around you and it’s only a 20 min drive into Portree where you’ll find great restaurants or a large co-op if you’d rather do a shop and cook in the cottage. We travelled with our 2 year old who loved having the sheep as neighbours. Fabulous walk on your doorstop too taking you to The Brothers Point! If you get a clear night, the view up to the stars is impressive. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Excellent stay
We have stayed in the Barn for 3 nights. The location is excellent. The house was spotless clean. The area is quiet. There is a view of the waterfall and it is super close to 2 most iconic hikes of Skye as well as Portree. The service was great, super quick and responsive. Honestly, I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you!

Great stay! Walked out the door to hike to brothers point. The video tutorials on the check in tablet were very helpful. Loved the wood burning stove when the weather turned windy with rain. Great space for our family of five - close to everything, cozy and private, and the bottle of wine to greet us was a very much appreciated touch. The whole experience was wonderful…only had 2 days to stay on skye, but let us book a three day window at a 2 day rate. First class service and was the highlight of a 8 day trip through Scotland!

The Barn, Culnacnoc - Highly Recommend
Superb accommodation right on the coast. Highly recommend for a weekend to relax and remember!

Wonderful stay on Skye
The Barn was a fantastic place to stay on Skye and to enjoy the walks in the north of the island. The property was in a perfect location at the beginning of a walk at the coast. The kitchen had everything we needed, and there was a great selection of books, games, maps, and movies as well.

Lovely barn conversion very near the sea
We are a family with 3 children and a dog, and all had a relaxing and comfy 2 days staying at this lovely barn. It was clean, well equipped, and communication with the hosts was excellent. We fell in love with The Isle of Skye and hope to be back soon.

Such a lovely home and place to stay for a long weekend away or more, the space was perfect for our family. Loved the log fire for a cosy Winter's evening though the house was plenty warm with the heating already on when we arrived on a wild stormy night. Ben dropped off extra wood very promptly when we needed it. Beds were very comfortable and the decor gorgeous. Beautiful views and location to explore the top part of Skye, would definitely recommend a stay here.
November 2021 - Julie L.
Amazing
We had a fantastic time in your beautiful cosy cottage. Thanks so much. xx
February 2022 - Jennifer M. ()
Amazing stay!
This place is amazing! It’s everything we were looking for-authentic Scottish cottage with modern amenities. The cottage itself is thoughtfully laid out with plenty of lounging area for us around the TV and fire (we were 4 adults and 2 kids). The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are spacious. It has a washer/dryer combo that worked well. The actual location is what makes this place spectacular. When you walk out your door there is nothing but beautiful vistas between you and the sea (as well as some friendly sheep). I’ve just left, and I already want to go back

Loved our stay at The Barn
We had a great time visiting Skye and taking our time exploring the island during our 4-day visit. The Barn is a great place to relax and the log burner fire added to the charm and atmosphere in the evenings. We couldn't use our mobile phones inside the cottage most likely because of the very thick walls, but we had a very good reception outside in the garden. The internet was good and the TV had an excellent reception too. The cottage is well-equiped with everything you will need to make your stay relaxing and comfortable. It is warm, clean and very charming in a modern, yet old-worldly kind of way. We felt so relaxed from start to finish.... it was just what we needed. Loved our stay at the Barn and loved visiting the island. We didn't want to leave and really had to tear ourselves away! It's been a long time since we've left a place with a heavy heart knowing we would miss it, but you have to return to normality I guess. Highly recommend The Barn for a tranquil, comfortable and charming base in which to view the beautiful island of Skye.

The Barn at Culnacnoc was exactly as presented on the website. Beautiful, peaceful, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds. Excellent overall experience. Loved looking out the front door with my morning cup of coffee, watching the neighboring sheep. The walk to Brother's Point at sunset time was fabulous. The location was perfect for many of the nature viewing and hiking. We will recommend highly.

You will do very well to stay here! Very easy to find and check in. We loved the remoteness! The location was breathtaking! We loved the space, and the wine was a thoughtful touch, and the landscape breathtaking! The Barn was a lovely space. The children loved exploring the cliffs and waterfalls, as did we. We celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary during our stay making it even more special! Thank you! Blessings!

A very cosy cottage with incredible views (prime location to walk to Brother’s Point). It is more closely situated to other properties than the photographs would suggest (there is one direct neighbour and probably another half a dozen properties nearby), so if you are truly looking for remote then it is not quite that! However, it is a great home away from home. Once the fire is let (dry wood permitting) the whole cottage gets very warm, which is ideal when you experience the Skye weather!

We stayed here for 3 nights and the location is absolutely stunning. The house is very charming and perfect for getting cosy in. There were a couple of small issues with the comfort of the upstairs double bed and kitchen utensil facilities but nothing so severe that we had to contact the host during our stay. It was fine for our short stay but is something that could be improved on. The house was very clean and we arrived to a bottle of wine which was a very nice touch. We had lots of updates from the host before arriving and although the check in time is late we were allowed to check in a bit earlier if we wanted to as the house was ready for us. The house is down a country lane and tucked away, surrounded by beautiful landscape and sheep. It’s a short walk to the sea but be prepared for a steep uphill walk on the way back. It’s located on a beautiful part of the island with lots to do and see. I would recommend staying here.

The Barn is situated just north of Portree and is easily accessible by road. It is modern, stylish and well-insulated and, although we stayed in July, the log fire was a welcomed feature!

A beautiful little cottage which was everything we expected it to be. Very cosy and had everything we needed. The WiFi was much better than we thought it would be! Easily facetime or zoom call family back home, or stream films etc without any issues. Kitchen was fully equipped with utensils and everything you could need for cooking. All the appliances were easy to use and Ben was just a text message away if we needed anything. We had an amazing stay and the views were fantastic from the cottage, with a very short walk down to Brothers Point which is fab.

The barn is a stunning place to get away from it all. The house is beautifully appointed and has everything you might need whilst you are there. The barn is in a lovely spot which is not too far from Portree but with stunning views and you do feel really away from it all whilst you are there. Ben and the team were very helpful responding quickly to any queries we had and we couldn’t have asked for a better spot to spend a few days away from it all.

10/10 cannot fault this place. It has absolutely everything you could possibly think of, the location is perfect (just out of Portree but very close to Storr/Quairring) and is 10mins walk to what we adopted as a private swimming spot down by Brother's Point. The check-in was super straight forward, spotless, excellent wi-fi and even a complementary bottle of white. Will be coming again soon!

This hideaway is amazing! It had all the things we value in a holiday home, peaceful, clean, in great condition, comfortable, well equipped kitchen and a fantastic view. Oh and the internet is good enough for streaming too! There is a lane that runs right behind the cottage, which gives access to another property or two, and is also a public footpath for Brothers Point walk, but we only saw a handful of people in our 4 days and was not an issue at all. We will definitely return one day, it’s simply fantastic!

The barn was the perfect place for us to have as a base to explore Skye. Being able to come back there after a day exploring the island to relax and enjoy the evenings just helped to make the break even more special. Our small pup loved to sit and stare out over the headland, the peace and tranquility obviously had the same effect on him as it did us! The barn had everything that we needed to help make our stay special, as well as being close to all the places that we had on our itinerary. We will definitely be back!

This is the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. I would give 10 stars if I could.

If you're visiting Isle of Skye, you need to stay here at the Barn! 4 of stayed in the cottage for 4 nights and easily would have spent 2 weeks without any regrets! You approach the long driveway to a gate, making it feel private and secluded but it's close to many main attractions. Within 30-40 minutes or less, you can get to the Old Man of Storr, Kilt rock and Mealt Falls, The Quiraing and the Fairy Glen. The driveway to the Barn itself ends at another hike to Brother's Point where you can try to find the dinosaur prints in the stone near the ocean! We loved enjoying wine on the picnic table in the evenings listening to the nearby waterfall and lots of our sheep neighbors! If you're lucky to have clear skies at night like we did, you'll be able to easily see the milky way and millions of stars at night. The place was immaculately clean, had a lovely bottle of wine welcoming us upon arrival and lots of cozy couches to relax on. There's even a handy tablet with videos on how to use the appliances, adjust the heat etc.--- especially great if your vacation brain can't figure out how to turn the microwave on! It's only 30 minutes to Portree (if that) but I highly recommend eating at SKYE restaurant in the Flodigarry hotel. Only 17 mins north, it has beautiful grounds, breathtaking views and an awesome ambiance with all locally sourced food (lots of seafood!). Now that I've dragged on for a bit, I hope you have already booked your stay here, because we could not rave any more!

Positive: Nicely decorated and pretty cottage with lovely view. Comfy couches and nice kitchen. Negative: Bed in upstairs master bedroom not comfortable and ceilings upstairs very low…. My eighty year old mother kept banging her head on the sloping ceiling. This property is for six people and there was six of everything which is a little mean! 6 cups , 6 plates etc you never stop washing up! It was very nicely decorated but it isn’t very big and lovely as it is we did feel it was very overpriced I’m afraid.

First class Skye cottage
Positive: The Barn was fabulous and offered everything we needed for our few days on Skye. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook every night, bed lovely and comfortable and the lounge perfect for the quiet nights in! Negative: No comment
September 2022 - Linzi C. (United Kingdom)
can’t recommend enough, would love to come back and disappear from the world for a few more days.
Positive: everything. couldn’t fault it at all! location was spot on, close to old man of storr and the beach with the dinosaur footprints (AN CORRAN). most of us walked down the very steep hill to the beach next to the property. This isn’t suitable for anyone with mobility issues although this isn’t anything to do with the accommodation ☺️. There did seem to be a new path being made to go down however even if it’s stoned it will still be steep. This beach was also great for fishing from as its rocky and there was plenty of seals popping up to say hello. Brilliant views from the Barn. Great for the dog but beware there are plenty of sheep in the fields so keep dogs on the lead at all times. Negative: nothing.
September 2022 - Lynne G. (United Kingdom)
Clean and comfortable cottage with lovely garden, great views, and fabulous location.
Positive: The location was super - just off the main road around Skye, but along a track, with rolling countryside to look out on and lovely beachy walks nearby. Also the house and grounds were immaculate - all spotlessly clean and tidy. Negative: Perhaps I would have rated a little more highly if we had not just had an incredible rental experience for a week in the Hebrides - luxury property (cheaper per night than the Barn at Culnacnoc), with amazing attention to detail: full guide to house and area provided by email in advance with lots of tips (virtually nothing provided at the Barn), lovely welcome basket of milk, bread, butter, jam, local cheese, red and white wine, etc (just a bottle of wine at the Barn), everything you could possibly need in the outhouse (barbeque, body boards, wetsuits, bicycles, cricket bats and balls) etc, etc We really felt welcomed there whereas the Barn was efficient - there were no problems at all - but a little impersonal.
September 2022 - Christopher G. (United Kingdom)
Luxury and view
Positive: The location just off one of the most magnificent roads in Britain gives amazing views and a very convenient access to the Brothers Point where you can see stegosaurus footprints! Right close to Quirang and Storr too The building has lots of charm but is also very high spec internally with lots of good design touches and is extremely comfortable with all creature comforts Negative: Beds were too hard. It’s a little bit of a trek to go out for food in the evening so be prepared to eat in! Go here if you can afford it but as you can see it’s very expensive! A lot more than the lovely B&B we stayed at last time we were in Skye. But - a different experience clearly
September 2022 - Angela B. (United Kingdom)
Amazing views
Positive: The location was amazing, it has stunning views on a clear day. The barn was very well equipped, there is everything there you could ever need Negative: One of the two bathrooms was leaking through the lounge roof, we only had the use of one bathroom for the first three days. This was then fixed but it didn't make the holiday very enjoyable with one bathroom between 6 of us. In the other bathroom the sink was not attached to the wall, which then made me question how well it had been cleaned because it would have been easily noticeable so I then cleaned everywhere, this again was fixed but should have been picked up by the cleaners. We where expecting some form of refund due to the hassle of it and obviously only having the one bathroom to use but we have yet to hear off them about this

Fabulous lodging and location to experience the best of Skye.
Positive: Fantastic setting and fabulous lodging, one of the best properties I have ever booked. The location is right at the beginning of the Brother’s Point hiking trail, a 2 mile out and back hike (steep, wet, wear hiking boots) to the beach, (with an extra challenging climb to the dinosaur footprints for those capable) shows Skye in all of its beauty and majesty. Friendly sheep abound the property. Lodging looks rustic from outside but inside is spacious, modern and well appointed, perfect for 6 adults. Negative: No comment

Salon avec cuisine ouverte (équipée lave linge, lave vaisselle etc) Negative: Pour le prix le petit déjeuner devrait être compris... ce serait parfait ! Mais une bouteille de vin nous attendait à notre arrivée (surprise sympa)...

Positive: location, cleanliness, just so nice to have a home from home luxury experience with our dog! most people think dog owners are dirty. the barn has beautiful furnishings with such comfortable sofas and beds! the owners have thought of everything! spotlessly clean and items that I myself would like! it is the best holiday home I have stayed in with my family and dog. it was like home from home. because it was so lovely, it made you respect the beautiful property! thank you for such a lovely few days stay at The Barn I would come back in a heartbeat. and thank you for welcoming dogs into your home.

Ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt in the barn in toller Landschaft und Umgebung
Positive: Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war sehr gut. Eine Reklamation zum Beispiel wurde sehr zeitnah und kompetent erledigt. Die Ausstattung mit Küchengeräten war sehr gut (Toaster, Mikrowelle, Backofen etc.). Alle Geräte waren sehr sauber und in einem guten Zustand. Das Haus ist sehr schön und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Lage ist sehr gut. Negative: Die Küchenausstattung ist ein wenig verbesserungswürdig. Sowohl Geschirr wie auch größere Töpfe wären sehr von Vorteil, erst recht, wenn man das Haus mit mehr als Personen bewohnt.

Agréable petite maison
Positive: Tout! Cette petite maison est parfaite pour un séjour de plusieurs nuits. On s'y est sentis comme chez nous. La propreté était irréprochable, les chambres très confortables. Nous avions à disposition de quoi allumer le feu durant tout notre séjour et une bonne bouteille de vin blanc nous attendait à l'intérieur. Il y fait très calme, le seul bruit que l'on entend est celui de la cascade qui coule à quelques dizaines de mètres. La maison se trouve à quelques minutes à pieds d'une petite plage. La situation est vraiment idéale pour découvrir Skye. Notre séjour dans cet endroit était magique. Nous étions vraiment tristes lorsque nous avons du la quitter. Nous espérons pouvoir y revenir un jour! Negative: Rien, tout était parfait.

Positive: Wunderschönes Haus in der Einsamkeit. Ruhe und Erholung pur!!!! Wir kommen sehr gern wieder! Man sieht das Meer und man kann wunderbar vor dem Haus in der Sonne sitzen und die Schafe beobachten. Auch einen tollen Wanderweg gibt es direkt vor dem Haus. Negative: Es gab nichts zu bemängeln.

This was the very best place, combination of location and Amenities that we stayed on our visit to Scotland( Islay, Glencoe, Skye and St. Andrews) The Location is truly remarkable! Sheep right outside the yard, Trailhead to Brother’s point and remarkable Tide pools at a 1min walk Outside the gate. Old Man of Storr and Quirang are each 15 minutes away by car. Both are Beautiful hikes, but Quirang is breathtakingly other-worldly, the stuff of fairy glens and gallient men of old. Neist point Ligjthouse is also worth the drive to the other side of the Island. Be sure you explore the rocks! It’s the highlight of the stop. We could have stayed on Skye another week. 3 days was not enough, so many other beaches and nooks to explore. Highly recommend Skye Weavers it’s a wonderful place to hear and see the peddle powered loom process and buy a real “highland wool” scarf or stoll Or gorgeous Blankets! The house is very well Equipped and had a real wood burning Fireplace which was a highlight.

Maison confortable dans un cadre naturel magnifique
Positive: Emplacement super ! Dans une voie sans issue (il faut ouvrir une barrière pour y avoir accès, mais un panneau indique le nom de la location), on est déporté de la route principale et donc pas de bruit de circulation. Les enfants peuvent sortir sans danger de la maison. Maison confortable, on a tous pris nos marques sans problème. Des produits d'hygiène Arran sont nombreux et disponibles dans toutes les salles de bain et près de l'évier, très agréable ! La maison est à 15 minutes en voiture de Portree, il y a un arrêt de bus à 10 minutes à pied de la maison. La ligne de bus passe du lundi au samedi. Une tablette permet de se faire livrer si on le souhaite. Plage à 5 minutes à pied, brothers point à 15/20 minutes à pied. Les moutons pour voisins ! Negative: Dans la chambre avec la grande fenêtre, des rideaux plus foncés ou occultants permettraient d'avoir un peu plus d'obscurité pour dormir (nous avons l'habitude de dormir dans le noir). Dans la cuisine, il pourrait y avoir deux tabourets (seulement 4 chaises et nous sommes 6). Nous avons pris les petites chaises des chambres de l'étage car l'espace manque un peu avec 6 chaises pour passer sinon. Malgré tous les équipements de la cuisine, un mixeur aurait été utile pour faire une soupe. Nous n'avions pas compris qu'il s'agissait d'une voie sans issue peu large, nous avons un grand véhicule et il a fallu manoeuvrer un peu pour le garer dans la cour à côté de la maison.

Amazing property, amazingly located.
Positive: Location is amazing, right at the start of the walk down to Brothers’ Point. And only a short drive from the Quiraing walks. It is beautiful both inside and outside. Totally enjoyed spending 3 days in this clean, comfortable and well-appointed accommodation. Water pressure in showers is very good too! Would stay again! Negative: It somehow lacks the personal touch. Perhaps bec it’s managed by a management company. The fixed soap dispensers in the shower are a little difficult to manage.

This place is so sweet and homey and we loved it. We had stopped at House of Bruar on our way from Edinburgh and had picked up cheeses and crackers, meats and jams and bread for a wonderful charcuterie dinner the first night. It was a great home base for exploring Skye. 20 mins outside of Portree. The hike down to the water and the attached trail was worth the stay in itself. It was lambing season so baby lambs everywhere, it was wonderful. To find go through the gate you come to and continue to drive down and it’s on the right, The Barn. We loved having three bedrooms. The 2nd bathroom is upstairs through one bedroom so that might not be ideal in some situations. Also the twin bed mattress really needs to be replaced. Very thin and uncomfortable but we made it work. We would stay here again if traveling to Skye if we changed the mattress upstairs or just came my husband and myself. Our mothers had the two upstairs bedrooms. Our master bedroom bed was very comfortable.

The Barn on Skye::
Our family of 5 (with 3 teens) agreed The Barn was an incredibly comfortable, inspiring and beautiful spot to land while traveling Skye and beyond. The home was very easy to get in and out. We enjoyed absolutely gorgeous weather, hiked Man of Storr, and meandered several nearby walking paths to shores (dinosaur tracks!) and also few ruins. Most importantly we savored all the clean air and glorious open spaces. Thank you for sharing your space— our shoulders dropped a few inches and we all just relaxed and rebooted. We would return in a heart beat!

Wonderful and peaceful
The house has everything you need except food. Make sure you arrive well supplied because it’s a drive back to portree if not. Beautiful views right out the front door- house is comfy and snug and cools down quickly if it’s warm. Beds were comfy-great towels. I’m finding that house rentals here all have tea, instant coffee, a kettle and a french press. You’ll need ground coffee for the french press. Big fridge and freezer. Two bathtubs. We had a great time here and I didn’t want to leave!

Die Küche war für uns perfekt ausgestattet, das Wohnzimmer sehr gemütlich und die Betten in den Schlafzimmern sehr bequem. Ich habe im Urlaub noch nie in einem so schönen Haus geschlafen und hatte auch noch nie so ein gemütliches Schlafzimmer direkt unter dem Dach mit zwei Fenstern, von wo aus man in der Ferne sogar das Meer sehen konnte. ich würde jedem empfehlen, dieses Haus zu buchen, es ist absolut einsam und erholsam.

Bellissimo alloggio in mezzo ai pascoli di pecore e vicino alla scogliera! Posto paradisiaco molto comodo per vedere la fairy glen, old man of storr e per visitare Portree. Ovviamente si è in mezzo al nulla, il bar e market più vicino è a Staffin (meno di 10 min in macchina) però valutarlo se si vuole uscire fuori a cena. La casa è fornitissima quindi se uno lo sa si può organizzare per fare la spesa e cucinare in casa! Casa come da descrizione, camere molto molto belle e ben arredate! Il proprietario ci ha fatto trovare la legna pronta per riscaldarci con il caminetto!

The most amazing place
This place is everything we wished it to be, peaceful and idyllic. Sitting outside in the evening in a private garden listening to the distant waterfall from the stream looking at the amazing night sky full of stars, the local walks were outstanding (go early to avoid the rush we found before 9 was good) and be prepared to pay for parking 🅿️, there’s a local shop 10 mins away in car with everything from bread to paint and we advise you check out Portree theatre to see what’s on, we were able to see Tim Vine live which was brilliantly funny. I could go on and on, simply fantastic!

Very relaxing family holiday in a stunning cosy cottage
Positive: The cottage was absolutely lovely. Very clean, cosy and comfortable, perfect for our family holiday. The kitchen was well equipped, the bedrooms very comfortable and the bathrooms had beautiful toiletries. There was a great walk down to the shore straight from the cottage although other walks further afield required use of the car. Negative: The road leading to the cottage was a little tricky if there were walkers and although the garden was fenced, our dogs could have jumped over it. However, this did allow for some visits from local sheep into the garden which was very nice!

This place was an absolute gem. The setting was spectacular- our son loved the sheep grazing just outside the door! Most of the excursions we planned for Isle of Skye were on the peninsula so it was great being closer to everything than if we had stayed directly in the town of Portree. Inside was clean and very charming. We loved building a cozy fire every night! When we return to Scotland in the future we can only hope that this place is still available.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Barn at Culnacnoc
Loved this cottage for my family of 5. Clean, comfortable and well located for visiting Skye. Loved the home down to Brothers Point from the front door. Would highly recommend.

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.

My family loved the Barn at Culnacnoc. It was clean, spacious and everything you would need enjoy a holiday on Skye. We loved hiking down to Brothers Point right out of the door and the beautiful pastoral surroundings. Would highly recommend this beautiful property.

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.

Amazing location and close to many hikes and sites. Loved the brothers point trail right outside the airbnb. About 15 minutes from Portree. The most beautiful views were right outside the home and the house itself was very clean and had everything we needed, even games and puzzles to do during our stay. We would come back again next time we are in the isle of Skye. One warning is that the airbnb is tucked down a gravel road with holes, it was not a problem in our suv but may be an issue for smaller cars
