We had the wonderful opportunity to stay with Greg and Suzanne for 2 nights. Their house is absolutely lovely with stunning views but most importantly very clean, comfortable, modern and very good value for money. The breakfast was delicious and fresh. We were extremely grateful for Greg’s help and advice on how to plan our 3 days in Skye. His... More

We spent 3 days with Suzanne and Greg during August. What a wonderful welcome they gave us. Our rooms were so clean, comfortable and quiet! Breakfast just really was 'the best' - Gregs scrambled and poached eggs simply delicious! Both Suzanne and Greg could not do enough to make our stay so enjoyable - great sightseeing advice and friendly conversation... More

Spent 3 days with Greg and Sue. If travelling to Staffin you must stay with them. They provide everything you need, including exceptional mountain and sea views. They went out of their way to cater to my specific dietary needs which was much appreciated. Greg is very happy to share his extensive knowledge of his local area. He is a... More

The title of this review summarizes my trip of London & Scotland that ended with the destination I still believe was a dream - The Isle of Skye! And as coincidental as it may be, the best B&B we stayed on the trip was also the last one - Achtalean House - a little beauty which is home to two... More

Seriously damaged my rented car on my way to Skye, had to have it carried to Staffin on a recovery lorry, reached the Achtalean around midnight and the owners were there to welcome me, help me place the car in a safe corner and calm me out of my distress with their warmth and kindness. Next morning, on a Sunday,... More

Great location overlooking the bay and North Staffin area. Very friendly and helpful hosts and good breakfast in morning . We had the family room so a bit cramped with extra beds but very comforable overall.

My boyfriend and I spent over a week travelling around Scotland and staying mainly at B&Bs. All of our B&Bs were chosen very carefully and all had excellent ratings on TripAdvisor. This one was our favourite. Firstly, the location is excellent. I noticed that many visitors tend to stay in Portree, but I think that Staffin is the actually the... More

Thanks to Sue and Greg for making our holiday in Scotland so special! The scenery was stunning, the twin room very cozy and clean, and Sue and Greg were perfect hosts. You could tell they really cared about their guests. We´ll definitely be back! /Sofie and Lena from Sweden
