Awful! A real nightmare. Never had such a bad experience in my life (and I travel a lot). The host is the rudest person ever met, aggressive and impolite. The room was cold, the bed cricking, the house scary. She acted as if I didn’t pay to sleep there but as she was doing me a favour. I felt very uncomfortable and really wanted to leave as soon as I could. If I was not on a small island with no alternatives for accommodation I would have left the same evening as I arrived. Watch out

Very rude, not fit to host. We informed them that we were half an hour late for dinner due to an unexpected event and they told us that they no longer served it, charging us anyway. Even though we were very kind and communicative, they didn't even greet us upon arrival and they almost left us out. If you want to have a peaceful holiday, avoid them. They are the worst on the island.

ABSOLUTELY TO AVOID. Traumatic experience. The two owners were rude, rude and not at all welcoming. There is no common area; the only possibility is to lock yourself in the cold rooms on the upper floor waiting for the morning and run away. Rude responses characterized our stay, an attitude of total closure towards us guests. No greeting upon arrival; much less at check out. The "nice granny" preferred to leave an excellent memory of the experience by throwing curses at us while we were busy driving away in the car, now caught up in the sudden escape from what seemed to me to be the most restrictive Scottish prison. The non-existent empathy in this experience takes precedence over any issue regarding logistics or the quality and comfort of the environments. If you want to live an "Escape Room" experience on the beautiful Isle of Skye, I can only recommend this accommodation. If you believe you deserve relaxation and hospitality, move on to something else.

The worst experience of our life.Owners, husband and wife, very rude and not welcoming, they treated us very badly.There were 5 of us and we had booked for one night, warning that we would arrive later than the check-in time (with a long exchange of emails), but upon our arrival they attacked us claiming that it wasn't true and that if we had contested them they would have kicked us out!When we arrived they didn't even come to welcome us, we had to write an email to have the door opened!!We paid for dinner in advance but they didn't even deliver it to us to take away as we arrived after 8pm and they no longer serve it after that time.Really creepy husband and wife with no sense of hospitality.Very not recommended.

Small, typical accommodation perfect for visiting the north of the Isle of Skye. The rooms are comfortable and spacious enough for 3 people, there are plenty of electrical outlets (handy for charging everyone's devices) and a clean bathroom (little pressure in the shower though).We ate in the small dining room of the house, slept upstairs, it felt a bit like home. The food was very good, whether it was the evening meal that we had booked in advance or the generous breakfast. The little extra, the possibility of having a packed lunch for the next day at noon which allowed us to save a lot of time and go straight for a hike.The environment is calm, surrounded by sheep, with a lovely open view, nothing could be more pleasant!Our hosts were very kind, welcoming and gave us good advice to best optimize our 2 days on Skye.

One of the most beautiful places to stay on the Isle of Skye. You definitely have to get to know the operators of The Old Post Office. We had an unforgettable stay, unfortunately only for one day. The rooms are very clean and the breakfast is very tasty.

Very well-kept accommodation with nice rooms. Rich breakfast buffet with many homemade products. The house is run by a nice couple. Packed lunches for the day are also sold. The house has been beautifully renovated and is very quiet.

Price quality is absurd here. This shouldn't have a name. Skye may not have enough options, which drives the price up to unprecedented heights. This is stupid. Photography was not allowed, therefore no representation of the real situation on Google. It was already strange that there was no living room or breakfast room visible. Let alone something off the menu. There was 1 rule during dinner. No Phones! I understand why. Placed next to your dining table in the tiny living room/bedroom of the owners, you have a view of a poorly selected DVD cabinet in which there was a full brush of hair. The matter here is dated. Owners did their best, table was clean, but a Curry for £10 is not about turning 2 cups of rice on a plate and throwing 1 cup of curry in there. Colorless and straight from the microwave. Tip! Turn off the microwave bell. Stupid stupid stupid. No proof without a photo. Smart. The whole room smelled like something was simmering on the stove. This extended to the bedroom. Our entire suitcase and clothes still smelled like the Old Postoffice days later. We paid £160 for 1 night with food. A day later we stayed in a B&B on Mull with a Michelin listing, where your eyes rolled out of your head at this amount. Weird shame. My advice is to move on to a real hotel for this money.

I enjoyed my stay in Cathleen and Alec's cosy B&B. The bed was comfortable, the food good and they were great hosts. Would be happy to stay there again.

We chose this B&B based on reviews that indicated satisfaction with its comforts and the congeniality of the hosts. This place did not compare favourably on either measure with any of our previous stays in Scotland.The room was clean but cramped. The bathroom was tiny and lighting wasn't adequate to put on make-up. The finish and decoration was DIY. The man's attempt at hospitality extended to hoary jokes at our expense. We were told we didn't know how to use a light switch because we were "from America" (which we aren't) and that we packed too much (but weren't assisted with carrying it up or down stairs). The lady of the house was stony faced when we arrived then barked that "We'd better choose our super now!" - because they stopped serving an hour after we arrived.Breakfast was on par with most places, but was served on a small table in their personal living room. There is no common area for clients in the building.For people who enjoy jokes at their expense and little accommodation, this place may be worth 40 pounds per night per person, not 105 for a couple.I suspect that our treatment was substandard because we're a same-sex couple. They didn't turn us away because of that, but did deny us a pleasant stay. Backwoods Scotland isn't cosmopolitan, nor always kind. Our stay was uncomfortable, insufferable and tainted our experience of Scotland. Thankfully most B&Bs are better than this.
