Excellent stay- unwind and disconnect.

Visited for 4 days my partner and i. Had a lovely time staying at Eco Bells, quiet and serene location within easy access of Dunvegan. Beautiful to be so close to nature- can view the surrounding fauna from your bed! Scott seems to be an excellent weatherman also advising us on the forecast and being accurate both days to the hour! Will stay again- thanks!

Lovely stay

Great stay for our two week long roadtrip with our grandparents. It was lovely to spend five days in a cabin as opposed to a hotel, and it was even better than we expected!

A home from home in an amazing location

We had the perfect holiday on Skye staying at The Backrest and would highly recommend it. The house was so comfortable and warm, and provided everything we needed - and more. My favorite was the chairs in the window, perfect for watching the changing weather and enjoying the stunning scenery. The house was spotlessly clean, and we found all of the furnishings to be of the highest standard.The location is stunning, and excellent for venturing out to the amazing destinations that Skye has to offer. It was also handy having the facilities at Dunvegan nearby for all of those forgotten bits and pieces.The Backrest is a great dog friendly house to stay in, from the space for all of his bits and pieces, to the extra biscuit treats left out for him. Having a fenced in garden was also perfect for our puppy as it meant he could have his own adventures safely, and he found lots of new smells to get familiar with.We had a fantastic week and hope to visit again. Thank you to Mette, Sonia, and the pups for sharing it with us.

A Wonderful Stay

We loved the Shelling Skye and didn't want to come home. The accommodation looked out over a loch and watching the night skies, the sunrises and ever changing was a delight. The cabin itself was very comfortable and clean and cosy. There were iconic walks in the local area as well as a five star restaurant which added to the joy of the stay in this part of Skye. The owner was super helpful and gave clear instructions and offered good local information.

Fantastic lodge in an idyllic position

Fantastic stay with the following tiny cons, smoke alarm detectors went off every time we used the toaster. Also a small welcome pack of bread and fresh milk would have been appreciated after a long drive, but overall a wonderful place to stay and very comfortable.
