Captain's Rest

Captain's Rest is a magical, special place. We really enjoyed our week, our chats with Vivienne, and the recommendations for local hikes and activities. We will savor our memories, such as the first view of the beautiful home and view as we came over the little hill. We especially loved the boat trip with Misty Isles to Loch Coruisk. A long but gorgeous drive there. We are grateful to be called guests of Captain's Rest and hope to return someday!

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our wedding than The Captain's Rest. The accommodation was absolutely perfect—spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, and incredibly well thought out. The welcome drinks and cheeseboard were a fantastic way to start our stay, setting the tone for what turned out to be a truly memorable experience. Vivienne was a brilliant host; her communication was prompt, helpful, and made everything so easy. Any questions we had, or anything we needed, she was there to sort it out immediately. Her attention to detail and commitment to making our stay per

Exceptional accommodation and very good hosts. Vivienne and Neil have an amazing property and were very happy to offer local advice and recommendations to help us plan our stay. Highly recommended!

Stunning views, lovely accommodation. Perfect in every way. Happy holidays! Happy family! Happy Days! We will definitely be back to this idyllic spot. Bonnie Scotland never disappoints

The moment we walked through the door we knew we were going to love our week’s stay at Captains Rest, and we were not disappointed. The view from the house was stunning. You could tell the whole house had been furnished with love and care, beautifully decorated and had everything you could want, as every detail had been thought of. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and much appreciated. The bed was very comfortable, and we slept well. The sauna and hot tub were luxurious which we enjoyed using. Vivienne was so helpful and looked after us very well. Highly recommended to stay.

A wonderful house in a magical location, the owners go above and beyond to make your stay special. The house is beautifully furnished and the hot tub and sauna are welcome treats following our long walks and fun filled days.

This was one of the best rental experiences we have enjoyed over many years of travelling. Vivienne has done everything to make the house both stunningly beautiful and very relaxing. The standard of fittings is extremely high and waking up each morning to open the electric blinds from the bedside switch and look out on the fantastic scenery was one of many highlights. Arriving to find a bottle of Prosecco in the brilliant welcome pack meant a first night session in the hot tub gazing over the Roag headland, glass in hand, certainly eased us into the stay.

The most beautiful accommodation in Skye. Views from house are stunning The quality of furnishings are of the highest standard and classic choices throughout. Owner provided an amazing service and is a delight to meet, made or stay even more enjoyable.

From the moment of driving towards the house we were captivated by the beauty of the location and the exterior of The Captain’s Rest is beautifully presented . Once over the doorstep we were blown away by the stylish and warm decor of the house, it made us feel at home and relaxed immediately. The attention to detail and thought of comfort for guests hit the mark spot on. Beautiful furnishings, a fully equipped kitchen and two incredible bathrooms, sauna and hot tub. Vivienne is a very generous host and had a light supper ready for us. Absolutely amazing property, we can’t wait to return!

I'd love to spend some proper time here! This place has the wow factor: stunning views and gorgeous interiors, it's a real treat of a place. Having a hot tub and sauna to relax in after a long day of walking tops things off - come as a couple for a romantic retreat or with friends for a relaxing (or action-packed) break. Vivienne is a fountain of knowledge and as generous as they come.
