Beautiful cottage but completely lost in nowhere! Super well-equipped room, clean and breathtaking view. The road to get there is a bit absurd but a unique experience. Maybe a little expensive....

Careful! New ownership. No more nice cooked breakfasts being served. Currently being refurbished. Great location, but very pricey even by Skye/Elgol standards…

We had an incredible time at Isle of Skye, thanks to a comfortable stay at the Rowan cottage. Breakfast and dinner with a stunning view, a wonderful host like Gordon who not only is a great chef but also well informed of the place and the best person to ask for suggestions to make the best of your stay in the Isle of Skye.I would also recommend Gordon’s impromptu golf lessons in the evening😄. We had such a good time.

My husband and i are doing the skye trail. We decided to do a mixture of camping and b&b / hotel. By the time we got to Rowan Cottage we were worn out with heat and in need of s good shower and change of clothes. …

To be clear, the Christine mentioned in previous reviews no longer has anything to do with this property. It's now run by Gordon (who lives in the cottage's annex) on behalf of the owner who lives overseas. …

A wonderful stay a few years ago after a conference in Glasgow. Warm hosts. Perfect comfort with a view of the sea and the birds in the garden.At the time there was a lovely dog named Socks.All in all, an unforgettable memory.

Located less than 10 minutes drive from Elgol, it is ideal for boat trips from Elgol to Loch Coruisk (highly recommended, by the way) etc. and to discover this remote part of Skye, even if it was just to enjoy the …

We stayed for two nights but would have stayed much longer. The Rowan cottage is located in a very isolated place reachable in about 30 minutes by car along a narrow road with unmissable views. …

The b&b is located in a somewhat remote area of the island but it is a pleasure to have breakfast with a sea view. Furthermore, there are several walks in the area. Cristine is fabulous and cooks beautifully. For dinner you have the opportunity to eat things freshly prepared by her at a fair price. I recommend going there, you feel at home! Breakfast is also great!

Here you enter the house of your mother or grandmother or the warmest house you have come across. The smile, the joy and a view that opens to meditation. The rooms are very cocooned. It's clean. You have your own area which can be shared with my other residents. The price is really very very fair. So, we talked about the time of evening meals or breakfast. For me it was a moment of pure delight. CATERINE comes to serve you and it's a farendoles of scents and tastes..... in short, only happiness.. when I left I would have held her in my arms because I really didn't want to leave.
