Great stay on Skye
Fantastic place for visiting Skye. We didn’t want to leave. The house is perfect for a base while walking, mountaineering or visiting the Fairy pools... especially as you can take a sauna after a day in the hills or make a nice roaring fire (remember that Skye is a destination if you want something more remote and beautiful ...so don’t go looking for a shopping centre if you want to take your holidays there - perfect for us). It was immaculately clean too. I’ve stayed in a lot of places all over the world and this is in my top 10 - hope to stay again some time soon. Thanks a million.

Great place to stay
Exceeded expectations. Spacious. Everything so clean, equipped and finished to a high standard. Most important, the beds were so comfortable with lightweight but warm duvets. The log burner was cosy on a rainy day. Location great, lovely to sit in the well placed chairs to look out at the hills and waterfall. Would definitely go back.

Beautiful house with everything you could need
I would highly recommend Karinya to anyone considering visiting Skye. Beautiful house in stunning location. Home away from home with everything catered for. We'll be back

Beautiful holiday home on Skye
Fully equipped home, warm, bright and comfortable. My friends and I used it as a base to go on hiking trips around Skye. Perfectly located, not too far from portree, but tucked away that we felt isolated enough - a huge plus given that we were hoping to escape the city.

Absolutely lovely
We stayed here in November which is really cold, wet and windy but the place kept us very warm, especially with the sauna. Bedrooms: Beds were comfy and warm and plenty of storage for all your clothes for a good while, rooms were also equipped with hairdryers and the top floor master bedroom was fitted with a ceiling fan incase you got too warm. The upstairs bathroom was great really enjoyed the deep bathtub Theres also a twin bedroom upstairs which we never really used apart from one night this room is alot cooler. Downstairs bedroom with its own bathroom also was pretty nice, the shower has a full body function but you cant use it at the same time as the shower head. The main bathroom was where the sauna is located the sauna was amazing and is the highlight of this property we were in it almost every day of our stay, the shower in the main bathroom however we couldn't get it to turn on because the water dial was stuck. The livingroom/Dining room was very spacious the sofa however is in parts and wasnt connected together so parts of it would slide away from each other but it was comfy nonetheless, this room also has a fireplace with plenty of wood and firestarters provided although we never used it as the house was pretty warm as is, the dinning room was great pretty big table for 6 people. The kitchen has everything you need apart from there was no bin bags provided so id recommend bringing your own theres also Portree shops to get supplies its a 20 min drive. Other than that everything worked as is theres even a dishwasher to make life easier. Utility room was great too has a washing machine, dryer, iron, hoovers and mops and also has a backdoor which was useful to us as we brought our own little hot tub which we sat out the back where theres a hose and power supply on the outside. Garden is a pretty decent size with benches, BBQ in the shed and plenty of space to park cars again round the back was great to place your own hot tub like a lazy spa.

Stay in Skye
This cottage was the perfect size for our family and was well stocked with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable! The beds were very comfortable and the views from the cottage are gorgeous. We highly recommend

Amazing house and location
Very well located in the centre of Skye. The house was very modern and spacious. Very big kitchen and living room area. The sauna was amazing after long hikes!

Great Home on Skye
Great stay on Skye, the house is wonderful, has everything you would want and is in a great location. A bit hard to find at night, just need to drive slow and you will see it.

Beautiful accommodations.
Well needed rejuvenation away from busy life’s and the city life. Beautiful space-well maintained with a fire when it’s blowing a Gail. My little family loved everything about the home as well as the hiking all around. Thank you. Highly appreciated. The Weiler/Lumsden family.

Skye holiday
What a lovely cottage. Everything was excellent from the standard of the property and it's contents to the location. We loved that we were not in a busy place and loved the surrounding wildness right at the doorstep. This was a family celebration and we all had a super time and mainly due to where we stayed - it had everything anyone could need and really appreciated the bottle of wine left, we used it to toast the 2 birthdays we were celebrating. I would highly recommend this property and it will be the first to book should we visit Skye in the near future. Thanks so much for it all. Marion Gunn

Perfect family retreat
We reserved this as a break from the big city. Our oldest daughter is at University in Aberdeen so we came from the US to visit her. We stayed at Karinya for her 21st birthday. Lots of hiking, exploring and just being together outside - it was time for a break from our Minnesota winter. This property is beautiful, fully stocked. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen perfect for family dinners - if coming from the south/east, shop before you get here - if not, the Co-op in Portree is good enough! If visiting or dining in Portree, check hours ahead of time - shops tend to close very early. Loved it here and would come back in a heartbeat!! THANKS BEN!!

Our stay in Karinya Crossal Cottage.
Excellent stay in a cosy house. We were 3 couples without children. Very clean and comfortable. The only negative point was the noise from the road just under with big traffic especially the week-end.

Wonderful, spacious and spot home-away-from-home on Skye
Myself, husband and 82-year-old mum spent four days here in June. With the downstairs bedroom en suite, in addition to a second double upstairs, this was perfect for us, with Mum able to sleep downstairs and avoid any stairs. The house was spotless and well-presented with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I would say the non-stick frying pan perhaps needs replacing to make scrambled eggs less of a chore. We also found the location to be centrally situated with a good range of restaurants within fairly easy reach. Our favourite restaurant was The Old School in Duvegan and fyi there is a fab bakery across the road (the bakery closes at 2pm). Portree has a big Co-Op for groceries but we shopped before travelling to Skye.

Immaculate modern house w stunning views on quiet road
Spacious modern house off the busy roads but still conveniently close to Portree and easy route to Dunvegan. Very polite and professional management contact. Plenty of room for family of four. Super-nice showers, laundry room, kitchen, and nice extra touch of a sauna after a hike. And incredible views right out the front door.

Great place to be in Skye
Excellent location, beautiful and pleasant quiet environment. The apartment was very clean. Fully equipped and comfortable kitchen, living room, dining area and spacious and comfortable rooms. The hosts answered every question and request. It should only be noted that one bathroom has a false ceiling and another room is not adjacent to the bedroom on the second floor but on the first floor Grate place to stay in Skye!

Fabulous Karinya.
Loved this well equipped house and the location. Beautiful views in a quiet but central spot for exploring the island. Plenty of space, spotlessly clean and all comforts supplied. Would certainly recommend this holiday home and would definitely return.

Superb
Great location
September 2022 - George S.
Lovely
The home is located in a beautiful area of Skye and is perfectly situated for drives to any part of the island. The home itself is modern and clean with plenty of room for a family or a group of friends. Every appliance was clean, modern, and worked perfectly. Highly recommended.

Brilliant 👏
Really excellent location and house. Lovely stay, thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Karinya Nov ‘22
When on Skye again, our first choice to stay, will be at Karinya again. What a great place to be. It felt like home the minute we stepped inside.
November 2022 - Erin P. (United Kingdom)
Amazing Christmas
We had an amazing Christmas at Karinya. They had everything that a family would need and more. There were so many things we never thought of bringing but the house had it ready. It was very comfortable and felt like a home from home. Decorated beautifully and comfortably too. We will definitely be back in the future. As long as Karinya is available this will be our first choice of accommodation when visiting Skye. The welcome bottle of wine was a lovely touch too. Thanks again.

5 stars from my whole family!
We stayed for 4 nights in the isle of Skye and This was the perfect house for the 4 of us. Plenty if space for us to spread out. It was located in a convenient location. The house was clean and we left it as spotless as we found it. The sheep across the street were lovely and the waterfall view from the front door was amazing. We all enjoyed the sauna after hiking. If we come back to Skye this is our first choice! Thanks you!

Vacation stay
Loved the house. Very comfortable with all the amenities. We especially loved the heated floors. It rained hard one day so we had a wonderful stay in day and watched the mountains from the front room windows.

Great time at Karinya on the Isle of Skye
Well located on Skye, the house is really comfortable to spend days to discover the island. Full equipped, spacious, easy check-in and check-out, we do recommend this cottage to enjoy Isle of Skye !

Comfortable house in a beautiful setting
We spent one week in this house. There was reasonable access to Portree and activities on the south end of Skye. The furnishings were functional and adequate for 4 adults. Although close to the road, the traffic noise was not noticeable as the property is well-above the road. Would definitely book again.

Great stay at Kainya Crossal Cottage
Great place to say for a few days when visiting Skye! The Cottage is in very good shape, great rooms and a shared living room. It has all the necessary amenities and more, really convenient. It is located close to Talisker Distillery and the Fairy Pools if you want to hike. Next to that you can visit many more places on Skye or go to the local pub/restaurant in Carbost to have some proper food and drinks! Great place to stay!

2nd vist
This was our 2nd visit to Karinya. It felt like coming home. We had a perfect stay and hope to come back someday in the future.
December 2023 - Murali K.
Nice place to stay
We enjoyed a lot
March 2024 - Jonathan C. (United Kingdom)
Highly Recommend
This was a great place to stay, especially with small children. It was a very safe environment for us to be cooking or relaxing while the children played. The location being so central meant minimal time in the car for the kids while we travelled around the island. We had a big storm while we were there and we felt very secure. The staff were excellent and were available on the phone whenever needed.

Lovely cottage, very homely and great facilities.

Impossible to reach
I cancelled my reservation and I only got a reply saying “we are processing your request”. I never heard from booking or the owner again even though I sent several emails and messages daily. I am extremely disappointed!

Isle of Skye Weekend
We had a great family vacation in this home. It was beautiful, spacious,clean and perfectly located. Would recommend to any family looking to visit the Isle of Skye.
August 2024 - Robert J. (Hong Kong)
Plumbing Shortfalls
Property looked great and sounded great, whilst a user friendly property with a nice outlook and peaceful position the poor state of the plumbing meant you had to deal with a 24 hour a day musty odour from the bathrooms on the ground floor. Not what you should have to put up with for the price. The problem was known at check-in, supposedly due to recent heavy rains (on Skye!!!!!) but seemed more an issue of a plumbing/septic blockage hence the bad odours floating through the house. Would have been nice at least if some attempt had been made to rectify during our 5 night stay alas nothing was done at all.

Prachtige accommodatie met veel luxe.
Erg mooie accommodatie met veel luxe. Alles was naar wens en we hebben een mooie week gehad.

A most excellent stay
We had a great stay at Karinya. We’ve given everything a 5 star rating and with good reason. We did have a small glitch with the wi-fi, but the Property Managers were with us within the hour and quickly resolved our issue. Overall, the house and location are great. Highly recommend.
