Near Byre

We recently had a three night stay in NearByre. Beautiful space with fantastic views. John and Vicki were very welcoming and very helpful with ideas of where to go and what to do. The house is beautifully fitted out and very comfortable. Feeding the sheep and pigs was an added bonus!

We booked Near Byre for three nights for our first trip to Skye and couldn’t have picked anywhere more perfect - Vicki & John went above and beyond to make our weekend extra special, and we will definitely be coming back again to enjoy the views, explore the island and feed the animals!! We loved sitting watching the stars go by with the log stove burning, and meeting all the pigs, sheep and of course Bramble the dog and Ness the cat! Near Byre is beautifully furnished, with everything you could need for the perfect trip to the Isle of Skye! We couldn’t recommend a stay here enough!

We spent our honeymoon in the Near Byre and it was utterly perfect. The accomodation is finished to an exceptionally high … It's an ideal base, whether you're planning to go out adventuring every day or just planning to hunker down in front of the woodburner, with the odd mooch down to the pub. We ate in Michelin-starred restaurants, explored deserted beaches, saw eagles from the bed and watched dramatic storms roll over the Minch from the safety of the fire-side. John and Vicky are lovely people and the perfect hosts, with great tips on how to make the most of a stay on the island. Stay here!

I can't imagine anything much better after a day of exploring Skye than sitting on the sofa, toasty by the log burner, sipping something that puts hairs on your chest and watching the sunset over the Outer Hebrides. If you're super lucky you may finish the day in spectacular style by catching a glimpse of the aurora.
