Lovely room, excellent breakfast, friendly and helpful hosts. Bed felt a bit small and creaked, location quite remote but that's what we wanted. No walkable place to eat but we went to The Old Inn 10 mins drive away which was great. Overall.... lovely, lovely hosts and nice place to stay.

Garroch House is a haven of peace in the middle of the Isle of Skye.Our hosts welcomed us with enormous kindness and kindness.The rooms were comfortable, clean and cozy.Not to mention the little touches like fresh bottles of water (from the tap), milk, coffee, tea and biscuits replenished every day in the rooms.The rooms are well equipped (TV, kettle, hairdryer, several towels).And to finish, perfect breakfasts for all tastes: yogurts, cereals, juices, breads, sausages, beans, bacon...

Absolutely spotless, lovely bedroom with great en suite shower over bath. The owners were lovely and had a great deal of local knowledge to help us get the most from the area.|Nothing seemed too much trouble and if we are ever on Skye again we wouldn't hesitate to book with them.

0/0.... abusive owners, calling people ugly c*nts. I will admit, the owners are very attractive themselves but still uncalled for to abuse those less fortunate in the looks department. This was all within earshot of a 2yr old child. As I say, Kate and John are hot, but still no way to speak in public.

John and Kay were absolutely fantastic hosts who attended to our every need. We had the pleasure of staying with them and their lovely dogs in August 2020. I've been meaning to do this review since then!!! But wow! Fantastic, friendly and really helpful. We stayed for 3 nights and John and Kay were tremendous in offering help and pointers for us. We had made a road trip from London, (now living in Northern Ireland) to the Isle of Skye, mainly to see the Fairy Pools that aren't too far away from Garroch House. We had an amazing time. John was very helpful in showing us some hidden gems on the Isle of Skye and from there we were able to find some stunning locations, including the Coral beach.Can't thank them both enough for their hospitality and would definitely like to come back again in the future.
