The Barn, Culnacnoc, Portree, Skye

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.

A perfect cottage in Skye
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!

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, secluded property
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.

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.

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

Barn review
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!

Family visit
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.

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!

Perfect!
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.

Fabulous stay
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.

Peaceful
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.

Amazing accommodation, highly recommended
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.

A very special place, we'll be back!
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.
