Captain's Rest

We had an absolutely perfect stay at The Captain's Rest. The views were incredible and ever changing. The home was more than comfortable, warm and welcoming. The bedding was of top quality and the host was very friendly and helpful. Should I come back to Skye, I would not imagine staying anywhere else. Bravo to Vivienne and Neil for creating this perfect Skye sanctuary.

In the 25 years+ I've rented vacation homes, this has got to be the best! Now, I'm spoiled for life!... Gracious hostess, very quick to answer our queries, a 5-star home away from home: ample airy house, wonderfully situated on a hill with views of lochs and mountains near Dunvegan, its castle and convenient shops. The amenities were first-rate, including the outside spa which we used every day after our outings in the great outdoors for which Skye is reputed. We enjoyed cooking in, with fresh meats, fish and veggies locally sourced. Never opened the TV, who needs it with views like those! xx

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! We have just returned from visiting the Captain’s Rest and what a place, it has to be seen to fully appreciate not only the lovely home, but the amazing views. A week of sunshine meant we were out most days exploring the island but it was lovely to come back home, sit outside (sometimes in the hot tub!) and just soak up the scenery. Decorated to a high standard, with lovely touches of things available to buy on Skye, it really is a special place. The lovely goodies we arrived to were also very much appreciated. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

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!
