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.

Amazing
We had a fantastic time in your beautiful cosy cottage. Thanks so much. xx

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.

Beautiful barn and location
Fabulous barn conversion. Well appointed and thick walls to keep you warm on a cold rainy day. Beautiful location with seals in the bay below. Highly recommend

Charming and cozy home in the midst of a breathtaking setting
We loved this cosy home were we could retreat after walking and sightseeing. The Barn is well equipped and location isn’t too far from Portree where we could access amenities.

Wonderful
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.

Great house in a wonderful area
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at "The Barn". It's a perfect place to cool down and to discover the Isle of Skye! Hope, we will be able to come back one day!

Brilliant stay
I’ve been coming to Skye for 15 years and have stayed all over the island. The cottage is probably situated in one of the nicest spots. The cottage was spotless and felt like home throughout our weeks stay. We hope to come back and stay again! Thank you for having us.

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!

We loved The Barn

Das schönste Ferienhaus, das ich je bewohnt habe
Alles war perfekt, die Ausstattung, die Atmosphäre, die Lage, wunderbare Ruhe in der Natur. Ich habe noch nie besser geschlafen, das Schlafzimmer war einfach wunderschön unter dem Dach

Perfect Cottage
We loved our stay in this special place. Very comfortable and the location is just stunning.
August 2023 - Dan S. (United Kingdom)
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!

Awesome location
Our stay at The Barn was magical. The views were spectacular and the stars at night were amazing. The only downside was that we only stayed 3 nights and could’ve stayed a week. Very peaceful stay, well equipped accommodation, comfortable beds and a kitchen with all the modern conveniences. 5+ stars

Nous avons adoré l’emplacement et le confort très chaleureux. Les phoques se trouvent juste en bas sur les rochers à droite de la petite plage face au lock. La sdb du haut mériterait un porte serviette mais cela est un détail. Nous reviendrons spécifiquement ici si nous le pouvons. Foncez et soyez serein. Vous serez emballés. Nous recommandons la rando tirée de Viso rando des Quiraing. Jamais vu plus beau 🤩. Merci au propriétaire et bravo pour l’aménagement de cette charmante bergerie tout confort.

Stunning retreat
We can’t say enough good things about Cat, Kel and their crew. They helped us make arrangements beyond just lodging and really connected us to the communities on Skye. The Barn is a beautiful modern adaptation of a historic structure and the setting and trail location are spectacular.

Hidden gem on the Isle of Skye
This is the kind of place you want to keep hidden so that only you and your friends know about it. The property is beautiful, very well maintained and equipped. It felt pretty new to me. The only thing missing was a coffee machine. The view over the sheep dotted hills is lovely. You cannot see the sea, except for a tiny little spot, but the way down to the beach takes 10 minutes. You are close to the main road (like 300 m) but it is still very quiet and the feel is of seclusion. No shops nearby. The closest town is Portree, 29 min away, so if you are into town settings this is not the place for you. For nature lovers the location is excellent, it is 15 min away from The Old Man of Storr and 15 min away from The Quaraing, which are the two most famous hiking areas on the island. The viewpoint of Brother's point is right down the beach. It is perfectly situated if you want to do the Trotternish loop. We had one small issue, the central heating and hot water broke down after the first evening, so we had 24 hrs without any hot water. We used the fireplace for heating and it was okay. We did miss the hot water. The accomodation was ready to offer us another place to stay of it did not get fixed but fortunately it did on the next morning. Highly recommended.
