Heaven on Earth
Out of all the places i've stayed in my years of travel, Carters Rest proved to be the best experience by far. Jonathan and Simone have mastered the art of hosting, from welcoming you like family, thinking of every possible detail in the rooms and family space to maximize your comfort to the mouth watering food they create together, I truly cannot recommend Carters Rest enough. The location is breath taking, and we easily could have spent most of our trip here. It is truly a five star experience, with the the added matchless hosting of Jonathan & Simone. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
One of the best
One of the best stays in Scotland we had over the years.Thank you very much for feeling us like being at home.And the Diners? Unbelievable good.
Amazing
Absolutely amazing time staying here. Hosts are very gracious and take care of every little need.
Beautiful and Cozy
Jim and I totally enjoyed our stay at Carters Rest in the Isle of Skye. We both felt very comfortable and relaxed andenjoyed many delicious meals during our stay..Jonathan and Simone were the perfect hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. The guesthouse is beautiful,clean as well as comfortable and offered many amenities.We especially enjoyed their sweet dog Emma which added a warm touch to their beautiful Inn. We would highly recommend.
Wonderful stay in a beautiful setting
We were welcomed at the gate and pampered from the moment we stepped in. The food was delicious and the room was comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully arranged.

You deserve it!
A Lovely Get-Away
My husband and I stayed at this lovely B&B at the end of August for a one night stay.We were immediately greeted by Johnathan upon our arrival.He was very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable in their home.There is a very nice lounge area to relax with a beautiful view.Our room was very relaxing with a comfortable king size bed and a large en-suite bathroom.They provided so many extras to make our stay extra special.We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal and our breakfast the next morning.Simone and Jonathan are amazing cooks and all of the food was so delicious!The house is located in a remote part of Skye.We took an evening walk after dinner.Both were very informative and gave us great suggestions for our stay in Scotland. Wish we could have stayed another night.We highly recommend this amazing B&B!
Magical island hideaway!
What a special, cozy, and truly restful home Simone and Jonathan have created for their guests. From arrival to departure, you will be cared for as if you were staying with family. This part of the world is a unique region and you’ll likely have many questions - your skilled hosts will guide you toward the perfect itinerary, teach you how to navigate the rules of the road, or help you customize your stay as you like. Wonderful place, people, and food. Hope to return someday soon!
Response
Return is a promise!
Absolutely Fabulous
We were surprised by all kindness and attention from our hosts: Simone & Jonathan. The room we had was so spectacular with every detail you would have in your own home, so we felt so comfortable in the room. We had everything we needed throughout the3 nights we were there plus the view from our two windows was amazing. The living area with the windows overlooking the scenery will be in our minds forever. The breakfasts were super 5 star kind of deliciousness and dinners were so healthy superb as well. We would be coming back some other time when we plan to be nearby this beautiful area. Thank you so much Simone & Jonathan.
Response
Thank you
We LOVED Carters Rest
We loved Carters Rest and look forward to returning someday! Jonathan and Simone were gracious hosts with impeccable eyes for details. The B&B was very comfortable! We enjoyed relaxing and socializing with other guests in the dining/living area. The food was spectacular as were the samplings of local whiskeys! We ate our dinners here as well as breakfast. The meals were truly gourmet and delicious. The room was comfy and the accommodations overall were 5-star! While a bit remote, that really added to the charm, and we were within an hour’s drive of many interesting attractions on the Isle of Skye, so it was a great home base. Unfortunately we only had two nights here! Next time, I would plan to stay longer!

Thank you. Our remoteness keeps the problems away!
Our Third Visit and Loving Carter’s Rest More Than Ever
They say the best praise for anything is to want to do it again and again. Well, my wife and I (we live in North Carolina) just completed our third stay at Carter’s Rest - and we loved it more than ever. Indeed, staying at Carter’s Rest has become the highlight of our trips to Skye. In fact, we are now booked for 6 more days next September, 2025. We simply can’t get enough of the rugged yet awe-inspiring landscape, the nearby villages, the free-roaming sheep and cattle and, more than anything, the ambience of Carter’s Rest - the exquisitely prepared meals, the luxurious rooms with everything you could need or want, the dining and viewing areas and, yes, the hospitality and friendship of Jonathan and Simone, the owners of Carter’s Rest. I just wish we lived closer - we would visit at a far greater frequency. What more can I say. Carter’s Rest is special, splendid and unforgettable in the best sense of the word.
Response
Thank you welcome next year for a special coffee!
Lovely B&B Run by Lovely People
Carter’s Rest did not disappoint us. As we walked into the house we immediately received warm greetings from Jonathan, Simone, and their adorable Labrador Emma. The view was stunning, the breakfast was impeccable, and the local tips from Jonathan and Simone were invaluable. We were beyond happy with our stay.If you want to find highland cows on Skye, you have to ask them for a secretive spot where they live! No way we could have found those cows ourselves :)
Response
Thank you. Great pleasure to have met you all. Travel well
Perfekte 2 Tage auf Skye mit Gourmetessen!
Wir kamen erst abends um 9 Uhr an, und dennoch durften wir hervorragend dinieren.Simone und Jonathan waren sehr herzliche Gastgeber, sind beide passionierte Köche, und wir konnten das beste Frühstück unserer Rundreise mit herrlichem Meerblick genießen.Danke nochmals für den tollen Aufenthalt!
Response
Great have had you here.
Best B&B Ever!
Traveling to the Isle of Skye is truly magical. Traveling to the Isle of Skye and staying at Carters Rest Guesthouse is even better! This is literally the best B&B we've ever stayed at. Jonathan and Simone make you feel like you're friends visiting their home and not just random travelers who show up at their door. Not only are the accomodations great, the food is spectacular as well! Not sure when we'll return, but when we do I can't imagine staying anyplace else.
Response
Thank you
Wonderful stay
We had two lovely days at Carter’s Rest. For us by far the best B&B we had on our tour. The hosts give you a warm welcome. The whole house makes you feel at home. Jonathan’s cooking is unbeatable. You should not even think about dining somewhere else. We will definitely come back again. A great thanks again to Simone and Jonathan.
Response
We wait for your return. It was a please to meet you. Simone and Jonathan
What a great place!
The accommodations were wonderful. Simone and Jonathan were most gracious hosts. I could not believe how good the food that they prepared was. Best place to stay in Scotland.
Response
Fred. Thank you. Great to have met you all. Keep well. Simone and Jonathan
Stunning view and warm hospitality
My daughter and I spent three nights in the spacious sheep barn room. The amenities were amazing (bottled water, snacks, coffee, cookies, quality toiletries). It was lovely having dinner prepared for us for two nights and really took the stress out of trying to find somewhere to eat in this rather remote location after a day of exploring. I cannot say enough good things about the breakfast. Jonathan and Simone were lovely hosts and I would 100% stay here again.
Amazing Stay
Stop looking for a place to stay in Skye and book this location.Jonathan and Simone were the absolute best hosts imaginable.Everything from the views to the location to the food was absolutely beyond expectations.The hospitality and thoughtfulness of Jonathan and Simone are paired well with the lovely sleeping arrangements and accommodations.We are ruined now for every other BNB because this was so amazing.What a lovely couple with a lovely location.
Response
Thank you. Hope your travels to Inverness went well and you made the book shop. We appreciate your visit and thank you for your kind words. Simone and Jonathan
Fantastic Stay
My wife and I recently stayed at Carter’s Rest Guesthouse and we had an amazing time. The accommodations were very comfortable and the view was second to none. It was wonderful being able to see the beautiful views of this part of Scotland and being immersed with the many sheep that live in this area. Jonathon and Simmone were terrific hosts and the food they served (we did both breakfast and dinner when we were there) was delicious! We highly recommend this place and we look forward to a return visit in the future!!
Fantastic in any weather!
Great house with amazing hosts and stunning view! Enjoyed every minute! Jonathan and Simone were very helpful and thanks to them we saw a lot around the isle during our short stay (as they provided the route).
Response
Thank you. Safe return and good studies
Amazing stay - Beautiful Location - Outstanding Hosts
My husband and I recently stayed at Carter's Rest guesthouse and would highly recommend it!Jonathan and Simone were simply outstanding hosts: warm, genuine and attentive. Their location is a bit remote however that is part of the beauty; also, it is close to attractions such as Neist Point lighthouse and Dunvegan castle (and we organized our arrival there by first stopping at the Fairy Pools, then Talikser Distillery and then on to Carter's Rest).The guesthouse was fully stocked with all kinds of extra touches and the bed was very comfortable.Breakfasts were amazing.One morning we asked Jonathan for a hike recommendation and we ended up walking from Carter's Rest along the clifftops to Neist Point lighthouse, which was both challenging and spectacular.I would not hesitate to return to Carter's Rest Guesthouse!
Response
Thank you. Weather this evening is perfect! Come and join. Simone & Jonathan
Good Rest at carter‘s rest
This beautiful and cozy B&B ( with delicious Dinner option for their Guests) is a real Gem. The Hosts love what they do and you can see and feel this in every detail.The view from the living/dining room is stunning, the short distance to neistpoint lighthouse you find yourself immersed in the isle of skye landscape.We stayed much too short, I would recommend this place to anyone in need of sone dramatic views and a lot of peaceful and relaxing time between long walks.
Response
Thank you. Great to have met you. Simone and jonathan
Home away from Home
We enjoyed a truly comfortable two-night stay at Carters Rest. The bed was incredibly cozy, making it difficult to get out of in the morning. Every aspect of our stay was meticulously taken care of, ensuring an excellent experience. The spacious bathroom and refreshing shower with great water pressure. Jonathan and Simona, the hosts, were outstanding and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. We had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious dinner one evening, further enhancing our experience. We will definitely be recommending Carters Rest to future guests, as it exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this accommodation for a memorable stay.
An amazing oasis
We so enjoyed our time at Carter's Rest. Jonathan and Simone are amazing hosts ... warm and generous. The food was delicious and plentiful ... and we ate both our evening meals there. Everything has been thought of to create a comfortable stay.
life-long unforgettable moments
we had beutiful memories whilst staying 2 nightsHostsJonathan & Simona were the kindest hosts of all we met in scotland :) They were eager to help us indeed. Thanks to them, we had a good trips to wonderful places around Skye.FoodDon’t need any more words. Literally perfect dishes we miss those even now.Highly recommend mussels(the best of all), salmon, and sea trouts.LocationScenary from the living room and outside the front door were just breathtaking.Genuine wonders of Skye in front of your eyes.I also loved those peaceful meadow-view from the windows of the bedroom.RoomCozy, comforting room. we could FEEL the delicate touchs of Jo & Simona from every corner of the room.etchappy birthday emma the good doggo!emma welcomed us everytime we meet her. so cute and lovelydidnt had chance to ask the kitty’s name but she was also cute and friendlyguess all those good memories came from kindness of Jonathan & Simonasincere thanks,from korean couple on a honeymoon :)

What a fabulous stay
My husband and I spent two brilliant days at wonderful Carters Rest. Wow, what can I say… we were made to feel so welcome. Our room was beautiful with lots of little thoughtful touches. Super super clean with high quality linens, toiletries, drinks and snacks. Stunning views and lots of sheep front and back.We ate dinner both evenings … Simone is a fabulous cook and all of our meals exceeded our expectations… Jonathan makes great bread and I can honestly say that our meals were up there with the best we have eaten anywhere, including places a great deal more expensive.We had to leave early to catch our ferry and were sent off with what turned out to be an enormous bag of freshly cooked breakfast treats. It was like leaving friends.Thank you so much Simone and Jonathan, you were the highlight of our trip to Skye and if we are lucky enough to return to Skye, we know where we will be staying.
Beautiful and Perfect !
Jonathan and Simone are very kind and the room is perfect ! The location of the house is beautiful and incredible to see a sunset ! I recommand the breakfast it is very very delicious ! We were very happy of our stay ! Thanks !
Remote and beautiful
A very comfortable, if remote guest house. If your trip includes going this far out on the Isle of Skye, you couldn't do better than Carters Rest. Large comfortable room with true king size bed. Be sure to take advantage of their dinner offerings, there is no place else to eat nearby.
Close to Niest Point Lighthouse; Great Breakfast and Dinner
Very nice location with a view of the ocean from the common dining and living room.Very close to Niest Point Lighthouse which is an awesome hike/views.Great place to explore the West of Isle of Skye (Dunvegan Castle, Coral Beach, Waternish, Stein and Trumpan.Johnathon and Simone are very accommodating and are great chefs.Their breakfast is amazing and I recommend their dinner (fresh salmon and trout).
Absolute pleasure
The best stop on our tour, bar none. Simone and Jonathon are stellar hosts and very accommodating. We were pampered. Highly recommended.
Response
Thank you Robert. Kind words. Best wishes Simone and Jonathan
Absolute recommendable accomodation and hosts for a relaxing stay
Great accomodation with a lovely decorated room. Great breakfast even with freshly pressed orange juice. The views are stunning from the breakfast and dinner room. Dinner is really delicious with a very good price performance and absolutely recommendable. Very friendly, attentive and helpful hosts. It was really worth every penny. We would absolutely love to come back.

Family Smith. Thank you. We are glad and thankful that you travelled so to visit and you enjoyed! Regards Simone and Jonathan
Wie zu Hause
Es ist uns schwer gefallen wieder Abschied zu nehmen vom Carters Rest. Der Grund dafür ist nicht nur das wunderschöne Gasthaus mit seiner außergewöhnlichen Lage in einem einsamen Fjord, sondern vielmehr die Gastfreundschaft von Simone und Jonathan. Sie haben es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht Ihre Gäste glücklich zu machen. Das gelingt Ihnen zweifellos. Die Fürsorge und Aufopferung, mit der Sie die Gäste beherbergen habe ich in dieser Form noch nie erlebt. Nebenbei sind die beiden auch noch großartige Köche. Man merkt, dass Simone und Jonathan mit ganzem Herzen alles für die Gäste tun, um die absolute Entspannung zu garantieren. Das nächste Mal bringen wir mehr Zeit mit. Danke für alles und zwei unvergessliche Tage auf Skye ! Maren und Frederik

Perfect stay in Skye
From our arrival to departure we had the most perfect stay at Carters Rest. Jonathan and Simone are the most welcoming and caring hosts we have ever met. The room we stayed in, sheep barn was big and bright with beautiful views. The food is just amazing and always well presented, especially Simone’s mess!Jonathan and Simone go above and beyond to make your stay a wonderful experience. Their home is warm and welcoming, made even more special when cuddles are on offer from Emma and Molly. Thank you for a wonderful stay x

Thank you Greg. Hope you travelled back with no hitches. Now onward to USA. Enjoy. Regards Simone and Jonathan
Just fabulous
Dieses B&B ist einfach der Wahnsinn! Wir reisen viel, aber so etwas findet man selten. Hier passt einfach alles, angefangen vom herzlichen Empfang, dem hervorragenden Essen, den netten Gesprächen und tollen Tipps für die Gegend und natürlich der grandiosen Aussicht. Simone und Jonathan tuen wirklich alles dafür, dass man sich wohl fühlt. Eine absolute Oase der Ruhe in dieser Zeit. Nochmals herzlichen Dank für alles - wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

Blissful
Just got back from a stay with Simone and Jonathan on the Isle of Skye… what a gorgeous place! It’s not our first time there though. We keep going back as it’s not just a holiday destination, it’s a place that you can call home … even if it’s just for a few days!
Response
Thank you. Always special to welcome you here. Simone and Jonathan
A Magic Place
This a magic place, surrounded by spectacular scenery. Their hosts, Jonathan and Simone, take care of every detail to allow you to relax and unwind and make you feel good and comfortable. It is hard to highlight only one point because it is just perfection. Without a doubt, this is the best place we stayed on our trip to Scotland. Thank you, Jonathan, Simone, Emma and Molly, for creating such a lovely place!!
Response
Thank you. It was great to have had you visit and meet you. Hopefully our paths will cross again someday. Simone and Jonathan

Response
Keys arrived so all good. Hope you are well settle in the south of Skye. Wind will blow tonight. Thank you
Absolutely wonderful.
A beautiful home in a beautiful, peaceful place. We were made to feel very welcome by our hosts and their delightful pets. The breakfast and evening meals were way above five star - locally sourced, very fresh, home made and beautifully presented, in a cosy room with wood-burning stove and views of the neighbouring islands, the sea, green fields with sheep grazing...if you are longing for a break away to unwind and be truly spoilt, look no further.
Response
Tsam. Great to have had you both come all this way to stay. Travel well. Enjoy your world. Simone and Jonathan
What a lovely location and perfect hosts!!
We can't say enough about our time at Carter's Rest this past August.The location was perfect for us, calm and restful after a week of travelling through England, Wales and eastern Scotland.The breakfasts were lovely (as much or as little as you desired), the accommodations warm and welcoming, and Simone and Jonathan perfect hosts!They prepared us a fabulous dinner on our last evening which was one of the best meals we had during our 3 1/2 weeks in the UK.We highly recommend and would come back again when we are next in Isle of Skye!
Response
Tim thank you for your kind words. We appreciate. Simone and Jonathan
Respite and calm, a great escape from the tourists
We had an amazing experience at Carter's Rest. The room was relaxing, quiet and incredibly comfortable. Our hosts were friendly, but not intrusive. The food was amazing and We'll be eating Cullen Skink more in the future, although it may not live up to their recipe. Carter's Rest is quite a drive from anything else, but that's a major point of it's charm and appeal. We would happy to travel back to Carter's Rest in the future.
Response
Josh. Thank you. We have now reached the end of the season and start refuelling for next year. We look forward to your return. The action will always be here. Best wishes to you both Simone and Jonathan
Beautifully situated BnB with Fantastic Hosts and Thoughtful Touches
Carter’s Rest feels like it’s located at the edge of the world. The landscape is stunning and at night - when clear - the stars are incredible. The rooms are comfortable and better appointed than any of the other places we stayed on our trip to Scotland. Nice toiletries,and a lovely diffuser from North Highland Soap made the whole room smell great.The bed and bedding was comfortable.Tea, coffee and snacks were available in the room or you could enjoy the lounge with a fire downstairs. Slippers were available when shedding your shoes at the door, but it felt homey enough to wander in socks.Jonathan and Simone are consummate hosts, offering sightseeing advice and conversation, but in an unobtrusive way.The food was excellent - dinner the first night featured delicious seafood (the smoked salmon was fantastic), and the options for breakfast each morning were wide ranging and served with great coffee and a warm smile. This felt less like a BnB and more like two people sharing their home and making you so happy you came to stay.Highly recommend.
Response
Dear Jennifer. Thank you. So glad you all enjoyed. Hopefully you have not been caught in the storm!Travel well. Best wishes Simone and Jonathan
Coming Home to Friends
We had an incredible time at carters rest! We felt like staying at a friends home and the friends spoiled us with hospitality, kindness and amazing food! The location and the view is just stunning! We will definitely come back!
The best place in Scotland
Beautiful location. If you want to be with nature, away from the City noise this is the best place in the world. Simone and Johnatan are excellent hosts. Their attention to detail is second to none, but most importantly they make you feel like you are at home with friends. Food is excellent, including dinners specially prepared for us. Simone and Johnatan are excellent chefs. We would definitely love to go back again.
Response
Santiago. Thank you. Have my selfie stick now so can view everything from a different prospective. Simone and Jonathan

The Cullen Skink was one of the best things I have ever eaten! The most comfortable bed ever! Simone and Jonathan could not have been more thoughtful and accommodating. I would give 6 stars if I could!
Response
Anna. Thank you. Great to have you up here. Hopefully you can return with better weather. Regards Simone and Jonathan
Another great stay.
I had a 5 night stay, this is my second time here and I can't recommend Carters Rest enough, lovely rooms with tea coffee and snacks, immaculately clean, great food, and the most warmly welcoming hosts you could wish for. Beautiful surroundings and amazing views. Absolutely lovely.
Amazing!!Wish we had stayed longer!
Jonathan and Simone are the best hosts you could hope for.They opened up their beautiful home to us and provided everything we could want for a perfect stay.A warm fire, cozy linens, delectable food, the list goes on.The only problem was ... we didn't stay long enough.2 nights should have been 3.Next time.Don't miss this gem on your trip.
A restful haven
Besides the stunningly beautiful scenery Carter’s Rest also offers wonderful hospitality, superb food and a warm and peaceful vibe. I highly recommend a stay here!!
Excellent
Simone and Jonathan couldn't have been more welcoming and really put their guests' needs first. They have thought of everything! Beautiful location, fantastic accommodation and perfect food. We felt very much looked after and felt we needed longer there! Highly recommend to anyone thinking of visiting Skye.

Well worth the drive. A type of boutique guest house. Our room was large and spotlessly clean and fresh. Our hosts were wonderful. We ate dinner at the house each night and felt we were dining in a french gourmet restaurant.

Return to Skye
We first stayed with Simone & Jonathan in 2019 and returned again this year. When we knew we were coming back to Scotland (for the World Pipe Band Championships) there was never a doubt we would include a stay at Carters Rest in the trip. A lovely place and the most welcoming hosts you can imagine! Would highly recommend them!
Response
David. Thank you. Still missed Flower of Scotland!Best wishes to you allSimone and Jonathan
Wonderfull location for visiting Isle of Skye
We had a wonderful time at Carters Rest.The hosts made us feel very welcome and our stay was superb.A lot of small details like the birds in the hall, the music in the dining room and the artwork spread around the house makes this B&B lovely.What made our stay exceptional were the fabulous dinners we enjoyed.This all completed with their enthusiasm and hospitality made it a memorable vacation in Isle of Skye.

comforts of home
Our stay at Carter's Rest was lovely.We slept great in a comfortable bed, and enjoyed the extra details of comfort from the hot water bottle, to the extra blankets and towel warmers, and sweet smells of home.The food was delicious and Jonathan and Simone accommodated food allergies with care and kindness.The location is convenient for visiting Neist Point Lighthouse and artistic communities.Watching the sheep and landscape out the windows was very relaxing. This was the nicest place that we stayed at in Scotland.
Response
Dear Beth, Thank you. Sorry the visit was so short and we never managed a good chat. Keep well and safe return home.Simone and Jonathan
Lovely stay in Skye at a scenic panorama of sea and grass
We were happy with our stay in Carter's Rest, a small house with 3-4 rooms for guests in addition to living area for the hosts. The property was situated quite far from the village of Dunvegan that we wanted to visit, but it was worth it. We had to rent a car to get around on the island of Skye, and the roads were smaller and more traffic than expected. Our friendly hosts helped us rent a car, and book a fishing trip with a wonderful local sailor - they also cooked us breakfast and dinner for 3 days. Very practical, as we had travelled for 2 days to get there, by train and ferries. Skye and Carter's Rest was a beautiful place and we loved our room and especially the new and spacious bathroom with a double tub and nice details. The bed was comfortable, and the TV had good quality, the same with wifi. Our meals were tasty, but maybe a bit small for the price comparing to other restaurants. We also had thought that all guests ate the same and together, and it was kind of uncomfortable to be dining with "and without" the hosts and other guests. I did not quite get the calm even as we both loved the area and to walk down to the sea and we saw eagles and seals there. Also sheep, friendly pigs and hens. The food tasted wonderful, especially the eggs, but again: On holiday we like to serve ourself breakfast from a standing buffet, and choose how much we will eat. We have been travelling Scotland and England, Orkneys and all the cities for 3 weeks, and all the other places the breakfast was our best start. In Carter-s rest the dinners were amazing, and tasty! If something was a bit off, it was because the hosts were over-friendly and not the opposite. But we were so tired and needed really to relax in a place where we could also stay in daytime, this was not so easy here. But we absolutely recommend the place. Perhaps for a family, or friends travelling together, and then naturally eat together, plus sit together at night. Skye, however, had a magical feel to it, and we got to see the wonderful castle and the destillery, the village and the cemetery we wanted to see, also the fishing trip was a top point here. All in all it was however a bit far out to go other places at night, even by car, because of the small roads. I would love it even more with a 4 wheel drive car. But the small car was very expensive to rent, so we did not ask. The price of the accomodation was OK, but the foods a bit steep in costs.
Response
Torfin thank you for you observations we shall try to improve accordingly. Unfortunately since Covid we are unable to return to a buffet breakfast due to food not eaten is wasted. Regards Jonathan
Perfect stay with lovely view while having breakfast
Cosy, lovely decorated B&B hosted by absolutely friendly and helpful Simone & Jonathan.Best B&B during our Scotland trip so far!Try their meals, it’s worth it (thanks again for the recepe, Jonathan 😉).Some might find the walls of the house a little bit thin (as in a lot of buildings all over Scotland), you can hear others at some times.
Response
Dear Antje. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the stay. I hope you make the Cullen Skink for your family at ChristmasLet us know the result. Keep well. Simone and Jonathan
Perfect stay!
We stayed for two nights. The accommodation was lovely. Jonathan and Simone were very warm and friendly. Their breakfasts and dinners were delicious. They gave us great recommendations for what to see. The lighthouse walk was was a standout - simply stunning. But truth be told, everywhere we went was stunning. The sunsets were also beautiful. Highly recommend visiting this part of the Isle of Skye and staying at Carters Rest!
Response
Thank you Peter. Hope you take a these kind words back to the world down under. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Regards Simone and Jonathan
Would return in a flash if we could!
Wow, what a great stay - I do hope we will be able to go back some day and will recommend to our friends and family if they find their way to Skye. Simone and Jonathan were so friendly and welcoming, the accommodations so very comfortable and well appointed, the views and surrounding area just breathtaking. We joined them for dinner both nights of our stay - they are great chefs on top of everything else! When booking, we really thought hard about the drive and going all the way west (as this was a longish driving trip) but our Carters Rest stay was a highlight of our trip. Wish it could have been longer….
Response
Dear MarciWe always thank guests for driving so far to stay with us. Thank you for your kind words always means a lot. Stay well. Simone and Jonathan
Home Away from Home
Jonathan and Simone are the most gracious hosts. They made us feel like Carters Rest was our home. The breakfast has many options and is prepared with great detail.And the dinners were completely gourmet with beautiful presentations and 3-4 entree choices every night. We left the Isle of Sky after 3 nights feeling very blessed and with fond memories.
Response
Marty. Thank you. Our pleasure is our guests. Wonderful people from around the world. Glad you are back safely. Regards Simone and Jonathan
Rather different!
It's quite a long way from anywhere. The views are magnificent. And the visit was quite different. A sort of posh house with a good kitchenor a great kitchen with lovely rooms, however you want to put it. The discussions over breakfast covered national politics, US society, supreme court powers, European relationships just to hint at the atmosphere around the friendly chat as the guests explored each others cultures. So, a wonderful stay in a special location with guest focused hosts. What's not to like here.
Response
Thank you Chris.
Picturesque location and great hosts
Simone and Jonathan took great care of us while we stayed with them. The view from the room frequently included roaming sheep and sometimes cows, and the breakfast was delicious. They had great recommendations of sights to see, and restaurants to try. They even offered to pick us up after a dinner with wine pairings (though we didn't end up needing them to), which was so thoughtful. Would definitely stay again!
Response
Nic. Thank you. It’s called peace of mind. Carters is a place we want guests to know they can relax and enjoy. Jonathan and Simone

Best little Hotel in Scotland
We made our 8th trip to scotland and wanted some days in skye. We booked in November and were really lucky, that we found this nice and loveley little hotel. The location is breathtaking stunning with the beautiful sight to the sea, surrounded by birds and many sheep strolling along. The breakfast is awesome - everything is made really fresh from the best ingredients with so much love and really tasty. We sat in a loveley lounge, cant get enough of the fantastic view to the sea and had this fantastic breakfast. In the evening we had a great and tasty dinner. Simone and Jonathan cookedjust for us both and they did it like a star restaurant. In every little detail you feel so much love and attention - it is terrific - like the evening weve seen the sunset at neist point. We are more than satisfied to be so lucky that we found Simone and Jonathan as our hosts. The Carters Rest operated by this loveley couple has become our favourite Hotel in Scotland. Hope they will operate this special hotel with their love many years more. We will come back.Petra & Ralf

Dear Ralf. Kind words. Thank you. Always good to know we added something good to guests stay in Scotland. Best wishes Simone and Jonathan
Fantástico
Es un inmejorable lugar donde alojarse. Todo está extremadamente cuidado, con un gusto increible en la decoración y una atención por parte de Simone y John exquisita. No te puedes perder cenar en su comedor con una comida de estrella Michelín y con unas vistas espectaculares. En resumen un diez, porque no se puede poner un once!!

Juan. Gracias. Fue genial tenerte aquí. Viaja a casa con seguridad. Gracias por tus amables palabras. Saludos Simone y Jonathan
A great place to stay in a quiet, remote corner of Skye
Jonathan and Simone welcomed us on arrival and provided us with great accommodation, wonderful breakfasts and evening meals (latter at very reasonable prices), useful information and a relaxed atmosphere.The room was large enough with good storage, a large comfortable bed and a good bathroom.There was adequate and easy to use parking.There are pleasant walks from the property which has very good scenic views.There are also many wonderful places to visit within 30 minutes to an hour’s driving.If you want a good welcome in a quiet, beautiful part of Skye and you like good food then this is the place to stay.

Thank you Mike. Pleasure having you both. Regards Simone and Jonathan
Fantastic break
This was my wife and my second stay at Carter's Rest. Johnathon and Simone could not have been more accommodating. The room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. The choice of food for breakfast was excellent. If you want an evening meal Johnathon will happily cook one for you from an extensive menu. Carter's Rest has recently been awarded the Taste of Scotland award and this is thoroughly deserved.We will be returning to Carter's Rest next year and cannot wait.
Response
Dear Paul. Thank you. Great to have you both back. Kind words. We appreciate. Regards Jonathan and Simone
Way better than we expected 👍😃

A Perfect Place to Rest and Relax
A wonderful experience from start to finish.Simone and Jonathan could not have looked after us better during our two night stay.Their thoughtfulness and attention to detail has created a truly warm and welcoming atmosphere with a sense of calm that allows you to take a breath, sit back and enjoy the panoramic views of Loch Pooltiel.Having packed quite a lot into our short break, we were grateful for the option of dining in and enjoyed a delicious home-cooked meal using locally sourced and fresh produce.Our only regret was leaving it all behind as we headed home but there is so much to see on Skye, we’ve plenty of reasons to go back!
Response
Dear SallyThank you. Glad you enjoyed. We enjoyed having you. Hope the loch Corusk trip was good all the best. Simone and Jonathan
TRULY EXCEPTIONAL!
Carters rest is a little slice of heaven. The food is first class the accomodation is superb. The view is stunning. My wife and I travel with my wifes farther who is 95 years old and the special treatment given to him by Jon and Simone is exceptional. This is our third visit and we will certainly be returning.
Best place to be - absolutely stunning!
We were at Carters Rest Guesthouse for 4 nights. Everything about our stay was just perfect: starting the day with a delicious breakfast served at the table and with the best view ever, we got precious tipps where to go to from Simone and Jonathan, we stayed in a beautiful bedroom with a supercosy bed! And at the top: what can be better to finish a wonderful hiking day with a light and healthy dinner and then go in the sauna to view the stunning sunset?!Simone and Jonathan red every wish from our eyes and fulfilled every single one :)Everything in CRG is made with a lot of love, calmness and with an eye for the beautiful things, so we felt really at home. A perfect place to relax and just enjoy. Thank you so much, Simone, Johnathan, Emma and Molly for your hospitality and the wonderful birthday surprise - we had an absolutely stunning time with you!
Response
Dear Claudia and Raoul. It was great to have you here. Not a good start with your breakdown but glad it finished well. All our good wishes. Regards Simone, Jonathan, Emma and Molly.
Amasing
we stayed 2 days at Carter's rest. the second we walked in the door, you just relaxed. simone and jonathan both welcomed us with a joy and friendliness we have not experienced at any accommodation before. you immediately felt at home.The living room was comfortably furnished with the most amazing view. and both simone and jonathan knew exactly when to be present and when to give way.The rooms were large and welcoming, and nothing was missing. There was everything from toothpicks, soap, hair dryer to heating pad, slippers and snacks. And almost everything was local products, so you were allowed to experience the Isle of Sky from all angles.We ate both breakfast and dinner at Simone and Jonathan's and the food was absolutely fantastic and again with local products. There was love in everything we got. And when we asked if we could have a packed lunch with us on the trip, they packed the most delicious packed lunch with sandwiches, fruit and water, as well as a picnic blanket for us. Fantastic service.Carter's rest gets my highest recommendation and I will definitely come back to Isle of sky and Simone and Jonathan.But next time it will be for many more days.Thank you Simone and Jonathan

A Wonderful Retreat
Our two nights at Carter's Rest were a wonderful escape from the fast lane. Jonathan and Simone are first class hosts (including cooking us dinner the first night). For an extra splurge, visit the Three Chimney's and book the Chef's Table for a memorable dining experience!

Restful Indeed
We had a fantastic time at Carters Rest – the food (breakfast and dinner), views, pets, and hospitality were all exceptional. Travelers should know that the guest house is quite remote and you should not plan after dinner activities (pub or otherwise).

Splendidly Comfortable and Enjoyable Stay
Carters Rest Guesthouse was the highlight of our trip to Scotland and the Isle of Skye. We had no idea what to expect on our journey to the guesthouse, but what we found and experienced exceeded by an order of magnitude the very best we could have hoped for. Jonathan and Simone, owners and managers of Carters Rest, provided us two nights and days of exquisite comfort and fine breakfasts and dinners. They attended to our every need, went out of their way to ensure our stay met the highest standards, and prepared meals that we will fondly remember. The facilities. too, were top-notch and highly comfortable. Our room was delightful, bright and equipped to meet our every possible need. The dining and lounge areas for guests were no less superb - modern, eclectic, bright and a view beyond words. We could have spent our entire vacation just at the B&B. Indeed, our only regret is that we did not book for a longer stay. But that will not happen again; we plan to revisit Carters Rest for an extended stay as soon as feasible for us. In addition to the fine accommodations, the landscape of Isle of Skye - with its varied sites, history, trails, and boutique artisan shops and restaurants - was both captivating and enthralling. To fully appreciate this island a week’s stay is probably the minimum needed. The guesthouse and the landscape combine to make a vacation of beauty, pampering, and total satisfaction. This is a place to come to - and to come back to again and again.
Response
Dear Camille and Karl. Thank you for your kind words. We are so grateful when guests travel all this way to share a few nights with us at Carters Rest. Hopefully you arrived home safely. Best wishes Simone and Jonathan

Dear Hans. As always it was good to have you here once again. It will be a long time now till we meet next year. Keep well. Regards Simone and Jonathan
Absolutely serene!
My mother and I stayed at Carters Rest for three nights, and we had the most wonderful experience. Jonathan and Simone were the kindest hosts with such big hearts. By simply spending time with them, you can tell how much they truly enjoy what they do. We didn’t have the best of luck with weather during our trip, so we spent our evenings at the house, eating dinner there every night. It was such a treat to be able to enjoy dinner at the B&B, and the food was phenomenal. I wouldn’t have wanted to eat anywhere else! We hope to make our way back to Carters Rest in the future, and I recommend this spot to anyone traveling Isle of Skye.

Dear Christine. Thank you. The weather remains wet and windy. We enjoy the odd summer dayGlad you enjoyed dining here. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation. Regards Simone Jonathan Emma and Molly
In 1 woord: GEWELDIG!

Exceptional
The property is a wonderfull place 5 minutes from the shore and has its very special scottish spirit and style. The osts are very nice and felt us welcome every minute. We wished to stay longer highly recommended. The rooms are charming and comfortable, the food marvellous so be early by making reservations.IngeInge
Response
Dear Inge. Thank you. We thank you for making the effort to come this far west so we are especially glad that you enjoyed. Keep well. Simone and Jonathan
Amazing Stay on Skye!
Seriously, Carter's Rest is AMAZING! Everything here was absolutely perfect, down to the last detail. The owners, Jonathan and Simone, are the nicest, most helpful and welcoming people. They make you feel right at home and go out of their way to make your stay as lovely as possible. Jonathan made my boyfriend the best gluten-free breakfast bread (my boyfriend's assessment) every morning, as well as really good hot chocolate. Our room was as comfortable, spacious, and cozy as could be, with a fantastic view out the bathroom skylight window. The bed was HUGE and comfortable. The bathroom was very spacious as well. There were comfortable robes, extra blankets in the closet for cold nights, a bottle of water on each bedstand, as well as a larger bottle of both still and sparkling water in the closet by the small fridge. Each bedside table also had a little flashlight on it, as well as tissues. The seating area was very comfortable, with Skyeskins sheepskin throw and Skye Weavers pillows. There was a Skyeskins sheepskin hot water bottle, too!. There was plenty of closet and bureau space for clothes. The common sitting room areas were extremely inviting and comfortable. Our table in the breakfast room looked out onto the ocean and on clear days (our weather was very fine during our stay), you could see Harris. Outside were scattered crofts and sheep wandering. It was all very lovely. And, in addition to how wonderful and thoughtful Jonathan and Simone were, they have two furry helpers...Emma, the labrador, and Molly, the cat. Both are extremely sweet and friendly and add to the overall incredible ambiance of this little gem tucked into the far northwestern corner of Skye. I cannot recommend Carter's Rest highly enough. Truly one of our most memorable and loveliest bed and breakfasts we've ever stayed in. We will be staying here again when we return to Skye in the future.
Response
Dear Alyssa. Thank you. Thank you very much. Long time to get here so glad you enjoyed. All the very best to you both. RegardsSimone and Jonathan
Just amazing!
Zuallererst UNSERgroßer Fehler: Wir haben nur eine Nacht gebucht!Das B&B war einfach nur klasse! Vom ersten Welcome bis zum Goodbye. Bis ins Detail sehr liebevoll eingerichtet.Sowohl das Dinner, wie auch das Frühstück, waren das Beste auf unserer Reise. Simone und Jonathan sind einfach eine Wucht! Natürlich darf man Emma und Molly (ganz lieber Hund und verschmuste Katze) nicht unerwähnt lassen. Absolute Empfehlung!! 5 Sterne sind zu wenig.

Carters Rest Assured
This is the second time my wife and I have stayed here and it just keeps getting better. We traveled with my wife’s father who is 94 and the care and understanding Jon and Simone show to him is exemplary.The location is fantastic as is the food and the welcome.Another couple who are friends of ours decided they wanted to join us last minute. Although there was no room at Carters Rest Jon organised accommodation nearby and provided breakfast snd evening meal for them so we could all be together.You can rest assured of a wonderful time in this beautiful place.

Top notch - perfection itself!
Upon arrival we received the very warmest of welcomes from our wonderful hosts, Simone and Jonathan, and this level of welcome and hospitality continued and was extended throughout our four night stay - nothing was too much trouble.Despite some entertaining February weather, we were very sad to leave Carters Rest and will surely return before too long.The room was truly lovely, very well equipped and cosy, and the breakfasts were very plentiful and of the very highest standard.We also enjoyed lovely evening meals, which were, of course, beautifully cooked by Jonathan and Simone - again plentiful, delicious and of the highest standard, with five star service and ambience to match.The views out to the bay and waterfall from the dining room, garden room and lounge were mesmerising - spellbindingly beautiful and tranquil.The views from the bedroom (we stayed in the sheep room) were rugged and beautiful too.Our fabulous hosts exceeded all expectations, even baking a beautiful birthday cake for my wife.We were delighted to spend an evening sharing it with them and chatting over coffee in front of a luxurious cosy fire.Carters Rest is located well off the beaten track, which was perfect for us.I wholeheartedly recommend Carters Rest for a getaway far from the hubbub of daily life, where your cares will just melt away.We can’t wait to return!Thanks again for a truly wonderful stay!J & P

This is my second time staying at Carter's Rest, and yet again Simone and Jonathan are perfect guests - warm, welcoming and knowledgeable about the island.

Dear Elisabeth. Thank you. It was a great pleasure having you to stay. Thank you fir choosing Carter’s Rest. Best wishes Simone and Jonathan
Amazing hosts, place and food…
We absolutely loved our four night stay at Carter’s Rest. Simone and Jonathan are such warm, lovely and welcoming people and could not have done anything more to make our stay completely comfortable and relaxing. Greetings from Emma their gorgeous golden Labrador by way of a wagging tail was a real delight too! The breakfasts are genuinely worthy of 5 stars- there are even views over a bay and of a waterfall off a clifftop into the sea while dining. We chose to have our evening meals there as well which were all truly excellent. Being able to ‘stay put’ and relax rather than venture out for a meal was a rare and wonderful bonus and helped us both kick into holiday mode straight away. We cannot recommend this place highly enough and would love to come back. Thank you Simone and Jonathan!
Perfect accommodation in a remote location, with fabulous hosts.
The remote location of Carter's Rest is perfect for a relaxing break. The food is second to none and we would definitely recommend eating dinner here. Our hosts Simone and Jonathan could not have been more welcoming and we feel like we have made true friends.

Dear Lindsey. Thank you. Thank you for bring your good man here. Love to have you back. Keep well till we meet again. Regards Simone and Jonathan
Peacefull
This guest house is situated in an ideal location on Skye if you want a view from the lounge, and peace & quiet. The standards are high and the hosts always on hand for any advice/ service. There are many places to explore on Skye, not just the ones which get advertised/blogs on You Tube, and after a day out in the wilderness this is the 'haven' to return too. Enjoy.

Amazing hosts for our stay in Skye!
My husband and I recently stayed at Carters Rest and had a wonderful time. Jonathan and Simone were full of good recommendations making sure we didn't miss any of the Skye highlights. They also make amazing food - the dinner was better than any restaurant we could find! The atmosphere at the B&B was so cozy and welcoming we'd be sure to stay there again if we're ever back in Skye (which I hope we are!).
Response
Dear Averie. Asante Sana! Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Regards Simone and Jonathan
Absolutely wonderful!
Simone and Jonathan make your visit to the Isle of Skye unforgettable! Carter's Rest is full of character and feels very homely. You can enjoy a sunset sitting in a comfy chair with a sea view and the sound of water in the background (there is a gorgeous water feature in the room!). In the mornings, while having your delicious breakfast you'll also enjoy watching plenty of birds having their feast too!At Carter's Rest you know that you're always welcome, and Simone and Jonathan are happy to hear about your adventures of the day or suggest something that you may enjoy doing while you're on the Isle of Skye.Finally, I'd like to say that no words can describe how enjoyable this experience has been and how happy we are to have stayed here for the 2nd time, and I know we'll be back again ????
Exceptional high standards and value
We stayed for 7 nights with Jonathon and Simone in their wonderful guest house in the rural northwest area of the Isle of Skye near the famous Neist Point. The time flew by with so much to do and so many wonderful walks available.The guest house is in a fabulous location with breath-taking views towards the sea. There is a quant harbour with plenty of activity and a community that is very proud of its location and cultureNothing was too much trouble for either Jonathon or Simone, who were keen to ensure we had a lovely time, and this included great cooking for superb breakfasts (great selection) and the wonderful evening meals.We felt like one of the family very quickly and we were so sad when our 7 nights came to an end.Usually, we are happy when a holiday reaches expectations but on this occasion our expectations were exceeded and a lot of the credit for this goes to Jonathon and Simone and of course Carters Rest.A memorably 7 nights and we will be back maybe…. for an anniversary…but only Jonathon and Simone know why at this time!!
stunning location, great food
Carter's Rest is perfectly situated at the head of a small valley running down to the sea. It is beautifully appointed and run with an ethos of care and dedication. The food is excellent, the rooms luxurious. The sunsets are absolutely worth the short walk out above the house for the views across to the Western Isles. Absolutely top notch, highly recommended
Response
Dear John. Thank you for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the holiday. Keep well and stay safe. Regards, Simone and Jonathan
Beautiful place to say
Amazing views so relaxing to dine and look at the birds and the picturesque Loch Pooltiel.The bedroom is tastefully done with a very comfortable super king bed and excellent shower room.Simone and Jonathon are just the best hosts - we loved it again on our second visit and would not hesitate to recommend.If we are back in Skye we have found our second home.
Response
Dear David and Moira. Thank you. You are always welcome. Best wishes, Simone and Jonathan
First Class
Simone and Jonathan are excellent hosts of this beautiful B&B in a fantastic location. The facilities provided are excellent and the food is special. Nothing was too much trouble. My only disappointment was that Jonathan had created the opportunity for us to go out with a fisherman however the weather didn't do us any favours that day. Compensation was sitting in the lounge with a big fire a book and a nice glass of wine. "Tough Day" Had a great break and will definitely be back.
Response
Dear Robert.Thank you for your kind words. The boat trip has produced seals, dolphins, porpoises, and minke whale! besides an abundance of bird life. You are welcome to return. regards, Simone and Jonathan
Wonderful house, wonderful area, wonderful hosts
We have a lovely stay along with our eldest daughter. We partly self catered in a very well equipped apartment, and also partly had some lovely meals in the house.We did a fantastic walk out from the house to the lighthouse and back along the cliffs. We also spent some time in the village (with a tiny shop that sells everything).We rarely return to places but we really hope to return here..
Amazing views and amazing hosts
I came to this spot for a relaxing getaway and I got everything and more. Simone and Jonathon go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable and looked after. I couldn’t recommend this place more, even their pets, Emma and Molly were excellent hosts! I will definitely be staying here again if I ever find myself back in the Isle of Skye :)

A 5 star holiday experience at a 5 star Guest House
Both my wife and I had a fabulous holiday break at the Carter's Rest guesthouse in Skye. The hosts Simone and Jonathan could not do enough for us. Every thing from the quality of the furnishings to the quality of the food was first class. If you are going to stay in Skye, stay at Carter's Rest you will not be disappointed.
Simply sublime stay on Skye
Jonathan and Simone are the perfect hosts who can't do enough to ensure you enjoy your stay! The property is set in a stunning location and the rooms have everything you can need and more. The little touches of robes, toiletries,water, snacks and tissues bring a sense of a luxury hotel. The inclusion of a jacuzzi bath after many hours exploring all Skye has to offer is literally a godsend! The standard of food is incredible. Breakfast is a filling affair that could last you all day! I would encourage anyone you stays to eat in as the quality of cooking rivals any fancy restaurant on the Island. Carter's Rest allows for rest and recuperation. The minute I drove through the gate all the stress just faded away. I can't imagine why anyone travelling to Skye would want to stay anywhere else!
Response
Dear Emma and Stephan. Thank you so much for visiting us. It was great to have had you here. Dundee is not far away so we hope to see you again. Best wishes Simone and Jonathan.
Best place ever
The house is vary nice and the room is exactly like in the photos. Everything is clean and very well decorated. The views from the living room / dinning room are incredible. The breakfast is amazing, the best hotel breakfast I tried. Location is perfect, the views, sunset, beach umder the house. Simone and Jonathan are super nice, lovely, friendly and helpfull. They made us feel like at home. The dog and cat are very cute, nice and well educated. I just can recomend Carters Rest and Isle of Skye like an amazing plce for holidays. We will come back.

Dear Lorena and Carl. Thank you.It was wonderful to have you and your laughter was a pleasure to hear!Best wishes, Simone and Jonathan
Peaceful Comfort
We don't usually write reviews, but sometimes there is an experience that warrants one and Carter's Rest is one of those.From arrival to departure, Simone and Jonathan ensure that their guests are comfortable and looked after at all times.The attention to detail is second to none. The rooms are well equipped and stocked with the finest products. The breakfasts are of the highest quality and we also had an evening meal there comprising of beautifully cooked and presented seafood.The location is ideal for those wanting to experience Skye at its best. It is a short walk to Meanish pier, a pretty little harbour, with boat tours and fishing trips by Ronnie (recommended by Jonathan and Simone).We were sad to leave and we're sorry that we hadn't scheduled to stay longer, but we will go back!
Response
Dear Mark, and family, Thank you.Great to have met you and have you to stay. Best wishes, thank you for the card. Special! Regards, Simone and Jonathan
Perfect location and perfect hosts
This was our second visit to Carter’s rest. As before Simone and Jonathon are superb hosts. The rooms are of a very high standard with all the comforts of home, organic soaps and lovely soft towels in the bathroom. Breakfasts and evening meals cooked and served by Jonathon and Simone were delicious. What makes this a great B&B is the personal and friendly touches, we greeted at the the door like friends and waved off on our departure.We had an enjoyable boat trip with a local fisherman Ronny arranged by Jonathon.

Dear Helen and Paul. One of the greatest things about running a guesthouse is the people who come. When they return this is extra special. Thank you. Regards Simone and Jonathan
Absolutely amazing!
Our stay at Carter's Rest was incredible.Before arriving there I had just proposed to my girlfriend, and I asked Simone and Jonathan if they can arrange the room with some balloons and flowers. Everything was perfect, and my fiancée loved it. Their attention to details is amazing and they made us feel very welcome.The place is very clean and we had everything we needed and more. The atmosphere is very peaceful and relaxing. The food (both breakfast and dinner) was delicious! If you go there you definitely have to try their dinner. The room was very cosy and the bed really comfortable.There are a lot of things to see in the area, and Simone and Jonathan made sure to point out the places we should visit.Our stay there really raised our standards of what to expect and how we can feel in a holiday. It's one of the best places we've ever stayed in, and we recommend it if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday.

Blue Skye Hospitality
Carole and I had a wonderful time on Skye at Carters Rest.We were made so welcome by Simone and Johnathan and the hospitality we received was second to none.Great food , comfortable accommodation and good chat too.Carter's Rest is ideally positioned to take advantage of splendid views and all the island's attractions.We would not hesitate to recommend Carter's Rest.

Dear Steven and Carole.It was great to have you hear.Thank you for bringing some good laughter with you.Best regards, Simone and Jonathan
Wonderful!
Simone and Jonathan welcomed us warmly upon our arrival and took excellent care of us throughout our stay! I loved everything about being at their BNB: the space, the views, the food and most of all the personal touch.

Dear Marina and Krom, thank you. Hope you enjoyed your stay in Edinburgh. Hopefully we meet again.Dest wishes, Simone and Jonathan
Excellent stay at Carter’s rest
Had a wonderful three nights stay at Carter’s rest.The stunning views only enhanced the breakfast experience. Food was first class and every option available, we had dinner one of the nights and again excellent food well presented and very tasty lots of options, you could eat there every night. The rooms deserves the five stars, very clean and extremely comfortable, every thing is available from coffee to extra bedding heating etc. I loved the toiletries, we are going to order our own from the company.Absolutely everything you could want from a B&B was there and more.Hosts Jonathan and Simone were absolutely amazing, from the minute we arrived they made us most welcome and did everything to make our stay an excellent experience nothing is too much trouble.The house is warm friendly and cleanliness second to none, all that with the most stunning views made this the best short stay we have taken. We will be recommending Carter’s Rest to everyone.

Dear Ewan, Dawn, Charlie and Cathy. Emma is looking for Charlie please return. Great to have had you here. Look forward to your next trip which we hope will be a bit longer. Best wishes Simone Jonathan Emma and molly is waving at Cathy
Great stay - Highly Recommend
My partner and I stayed at Carters Rest Guesthouse for 3 nights (September 2020), and I can't speak highly or recommend this enough. Simone and Jonathan were there to greet us when we arrived and gave us lots of recommendations of things to do not only in the Isle of Skye but also in other parts of Scotland as our trip was around all of Scotland. They were very welcoming and not intrusive at all. They gave us our space but were happy to chat.The Guesthouse itself was amazing and had everything we needed. A fully equipped kitchen so we were able to cook meals each night. The bed was really comfy as well and having Sky was an added bonus.Given the current situation with Covid we were always a bit worried about staying at places however there was nothing to worry about here, the guesthouse had a thorough clean before we arrived and Simone and Jonathan were always socially distanced when they were talking with us. They also had anti-bacterial gel at the entrance of the guesthouse for us to use every time we entered, so if you are unsure about staying here at the moment due to Covid this shouldn't be a concern. There is ample room our in this country house and Simone and Jonathan were very respectable.If you are staying in the Isle of Skye I can't recommend this place enough, and will be telling my family/friends to stay here when they do trips to Skye.
simply perfect
Simone und Jonathan sind sehr freundliche, aufmerksame Gastgeber. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Frühstück sehr abwechslungsreich top Qualität und sehr sehr lecker. "Dank Covid" bieten Simone und Jonathan auch Dinner an. Sehr zu empfehlen und zudem ausserordenlich gut!Dazu noch der Ausblick vom Speiseraum! Spektakulär. Dass alles sehr sauber war muss man eigentlich nicht mehr erwähnen. Vielen Dank Simone und Jonathan!
Spectacular scenery and the warmest welcome at the end of the world
A simply magical place on the most magical island. Skye is the most breathtaking destination imaginable and I couldn’t imagine there being anywhere that could enhance your enjoyment of Skye as much as Carters Rest. Simone and Jonathan are the warmest, most thoughtfully generous of hosts. Their generosity of spirit imbues Carters Rest with an atmosphere that complements the extraordinary views. They have thought of everything to make your stay the best it can be. Everything. Their cooking is great too. Insider tip - have dinner with them, the Isle of Skye platter is the freshest, tastiest, mightiest plate of fish to celebrate the end of a long day exploring Skye.

Relaxing
Carters Rest offers travellers a place to completely relax and unwind. The location is remote and peaceful, the scenery is stunning. The hosts Simone and Johnathan are very attentive and the food exceeded all expectations, it was of a very high standard. Accomodation was also very clean and comfortable with all that you could need and more. We know where we will be staying when we return to Skye.

Perfect holiday
Stayed here for 3 nights and the hosts provide us a 5 stars service with excellentbreakfast and dinner,room was very clean and well maintained with a wide choice coffee and tea/ biscuits.Everything was spot on. I can't fault them in any way and we will definitely come back with first occasion.
Best place to stay in Isle of Skye!
Liked· Everything is to like! The location is perfect, surrounded by beautiful views, very quite and peaceful. The room was very comfortable, spacious, clean and cozy. The breakfast is superb! The hosts are great, they also offer dinner which I would strongly recommend it, as it’s not only delicious, but the experience of just staying home and eating right near the fireplace with the best views is something we will always remember! We really look forward to going back again soon!
The perfect rest
At the end of... there is rest.We found it here.Carter's Rest does exactly what it says on the tin.Stoically, sociabally and silently fulfilling just about every 'gentlest' wish you could want for.. Carter's Rest 'is' just that.They will guide you through everything...so nothing needs ever disturb, just what they offer to you.Rest.And theirs "is". - nearly, very nearly, at the most West you can get.There was nothing quite like it!

Albert. A pleasure to host you and your good lady. Hopefully our paths cross again and we have time to chat. Best regards Simone and Jonathan
Home away from home!
My boyfriend and I stayed at Carters Rest for a couple of nights when we were travelling around the NC 500 and Isle of Skye. From the moment we arrived until we left, Jonathon and Simone made us feel completely at home and comfortable. We had 1 evening meal and two breakfasts, both of which were delicious. Nothing was too much to ask! We stayed in the master bedroom which was spacious and the bed was so comfy. It is a very homely feel, with a social living room looking out over the sea and plenty of room to relax and wind down after a long day of walking. I would definitely recommend staying here to a friend and if we are ever back on Skye we would stay again. Thank you to Jon and Simone for a lovely couple of days!!
Response
Caitin and LandonTravel well enjoy your future and we hope to meet you again in the futureBest wishes Simone and Jonathan
Fabulous stay!
I was made to feel very welcome. Carters Rest has a homely, relaxed feel. Extensive breakfast menu and good, home-cooked dinner (Simone’s porridge and granola were so good, as was Jonathan’s lemon-baked salmon). Lots of lovely touches to enhance guests’ stay.

Soggiorno perfetto!
Magnifica esperienza, la migliore del nostro viaggio in Scozia!La location è molto bella e perfetta per visitare il vicino Neist Point. I proprietari sono stati gentilissimi e ci hanno dato molte indicazioni su luoghi meno conosciuti da visitare nella zona.Colazione deliziosa con prodotti di ottima qualità, abbiamo anche cenato lì e non possiamo far altro che consigliare questa struttura! Camera molto spaziosa e dotata di ogni comfort!
Just beautiful
Simone and Jonathan have put in a lot of thought and effort into making their B&B a home away from home, when it comes to comforts, tastes as well as tranquility. The breakfast and dinners were superb and the location was beautiful.

Perfect Experience at Carter\'s Rest
Steve and Julie made our short stay in Skye perfect. The house is beautiful to go with the scenery, breakfast is mouth-watering and Steve and Julie were wonderful hosts. Cannot wait to get back.
wonderful place
a great place with great people, thank you!
THE HOUSE OF MY SOUL â¤
We are so happy to staying in this friendliest, charming house, wich is situated on a quiet and beautiful place in the wonderful part of the magic island. Julie & Steve let us feel like it is our home. Everything was excellent with love and care. The very tasty, plenty breakfast was served in the cozy lounge with the fantastic sea view.I would like to stay more as I have the feeling it is house of my soul. Thank you so very much â¤
All perfect
Excellent food, great location, and lovely owners. We'll definitely come back :)!
Picturesque Stay !!!!
Lovely hosts !! Very warm and welcoming !!!! Beautiful location !!!!The drive to the place was easy if you follow the route suggested. The king studio was huge, morelike a one bedroom apartment. The studio wasvery tastefully done up with modern amenities.Enjoyed our two day stay and would definitely go back again.😀
Indescribably beautiful
We have already stayed in many hotels and B&B's and some of them were really good; at least we thought. Then we arrived there....And one could not stop wondering!!! We ate our breakfast in a great room with unbelievably beautiful views. There was also a fireplace was the extra for us cheered. The bedroom with bathroom was extremely large and had everything to offer what you can imagine:a huge bed, fridge, i-pad, snacks, free Wi-Fi, bathrobes, hair dryer, flat iron, a shower and a separate !!!whirlpool!!! and much more, even a toilet brush, which is not common for scotland, but about which Germans are very happy ;-)...It was paid attention to so many subtleties and details. The hosts were also incredibly friendly and polite. They also spoke for German very well understood English and you could communicate well with them. We had already guessed that the breakfast would be good, but what came next exceeded all our expectations by a multiple! We had already tasted porridge in a previous b & b and feared that the Scottish original just did not taste good, but it was so tasty made by Julie. You could choose so many great things that the food was enough for the whole day.On a scale of one to ten, I would have given other hotels up to now an eight or nine, but after we were in Carter's rest, I can give other hotels only a maximum of three stars and Carter's rest fourteen!Thanks a lot Julie and Steve!P.S.:next time we are in scotland we will surely stay with you again
Review of Carters Rest Guesthouse
We had a super night's stay and wish we could have stayed longer.We had a wonderful welcome and were made to feel very much at home.The room and all facilities were first class and the breakfast amazing.The outlook and views are fabulous and we would recommend Carters Rest to anyone.
Everything was just perfect!
We absolutely loved this place, everything was perfect: the location, the view, the warm welcome, the clean room, the nice beds, the mini fridge with free beverages, the books/dvd’s/games, the fire place, the amazing breakfast (home made!) and the lively couple that rubs it. Highly recommended!

Perfect place
Perfect in every way. Warm welcome by incredibly kind and helpful hosts, delicious homemade breakfast, amazing view, soft sheets and comfortable bed. All here is made to make you feel good. They have EVERYTHING you need.It was the best place we stayed at during our week touring Scotland.
A wonderful experience
If you are lucky enough to be visiting Skye then staying at Carters Rest will make your visit perfect!Views from the Guesthouse are just breathtaking. The welcoming lounge and dining area is beautifully furnished, as are the spotless, comfortable bedrooms.The Carters are hosts par excellence. Our every need was catered for.The attention to detail in every area of this lovely place is unsurpassed.And the breakfasts! They are a joy, a culinary delight.Before we arrived the Carters sent a lot of information to us, all which proved invaluable.The Guesthouse, the hosts,and the locality all added up to a wonderful experience.
Warm hosts and lovely place
We have been warmly welcomed by Steve. We had the self catering studio which was nicely furnished and fully equiped. The view froThe house is speechless. A short walk to the harbour. As it is very isolated, forecast to bring your dinner and drinks.The only point I would suggest to Improve is the price of the breakfast. Although it is excellent it very expensive : 17£ per person, but as I said, bring everything to do it by yourself.Thanks we had a very nice stay
Relaxing and Restful
Loved our stay at Carters Rest = paradise.We were well looked after by Julie and Steve from the comfort of their accommodation and their amazing breakfast. We left feeling rested and relaxed to continue our holiday.
Best place on earth!!!
Just unbelievable!1. Amazing view on the sea and cost of Skye!2. High-class, luxury and perfectly clean rooms and house. You feel from the first second as you are at home.3.

Even for the Championsleague Final Steve set up a tv and streaming channel for me!!!)We will come back!!! That‘s for sure!
May 2018
Lovely area, hosts that are helpful, and amazing breakfasts. Would definitely stay with them again!
Superb accommodation
This was our third visit to Carters Rest & was just as awesome as before. The accommodation is exceptional & we can not find anything at all to criticize. There is a great choice for breakfast which is excellent. Most of all, Julie & Steve are the perfect hosts & feel like old friends. It’s a fantastic place to stay. J & P Bolton
Welcoming and charming !
Steve and Julie were really great and welcoming ! Room clean and well designed. Facilities really great. Amazing breakfast ! We even saw in the morning a "migration" of sheeps in front of the house ! It was great !
WOW !!
Amazing landscapes and such warm welcome !
Idyllic getaway
Wonderful place, charming hosts and perfect accomodation. Can’t wait to go back.
Best place for some R&R in beautiful home with amazing view, room and hosts.
I absolutely loved the whole experience and would gladly recommend Carter’s Rest to friend and family.The hosts went out of their way to make me as happy and welcome as possible and the room and bathroom was HUGE and the bed extremely comfortable,Thank you very much!
Excellent place to stay near the lighthouse
We had a wonderful stay at Carter's. The accommodations were perfect as well as the hosts.Make sure you have had dinner before you get here, as travelling back to town is a 40 minute adventure, on 1-lane, pot-holed roads, dodging sheep.
Fabulous guesthouse
The warm welcome, the most comfortable, luxuriousaccommodation, amazing breakfast and beautiful location, made this stopover first class. Just wish we had planned to stay long! Many thanks Julie & Steve xx
Topissime!
Accueil tres chaleureuxAppartement topBreakfast merveilleux avec une vue incroyable !Nous recommandons vivement cette superbe maison d'hotes!
Restful Hideway
We spent 2 nights here and it was a lovely place to relax and chill. You can do as much or as little as you want, sleep and relax or hike and explore.We had the Self Catering unit which was wonderful. Lots of room to spread out, ground floor so no stairs and everything was available and comfortable.Breakfast and relaxing in the main part of the house is a highlight, the new extensions only add to the comfort and view and what a view!Many thanks for a lovely stay and all the best.
very nice
in our journey one off the best places to bee.it feels like coming home.whe only spend one night,but when whe come back,whe know where to go,compliments for the nice appartment
Relaxing in Luxury with Fabulous food
My memories ofCarter's Rest:Lying stretched out on the huge sofa looking out over the view of the isle of Harris; the huge comfy pillows on the bed, the 10 hour sleep in the enormous bed; the perfectly cooked full monty in the morning with proper sausages and our lovely hosts who were laid back but at the same time attnetive and made us feel so relaxed and at home- Thank you
Venturing in the Isle of Skye
We recently stayed at Carter's Rest Guesthouse in the self-contained Seagull apartment. The accommodation was easy to find following the wonderful information provided to us prior to arrival. We didn't get to meet Steve and Julie however were welcomed by Julie's sister. The accommodation was much larger than we expected and warm and cosy (much needed on the cold few days we spent on Skye). We were able to cook meals for 2 nights and enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Three Chimneys. Loved that the accommodation had a washing machine as after a long day's walk in the Quiraing we arrived back quite muddy and were able to wash! The kitchen is well equipped- lovely to have coffee/tea and water available to us. Yes, this guesthouse is remote and you must have a car but this added to the excitement of our holiday. We enjoyed a great afternoon at Tailiska's distillery during our stay. Sadly, after 3 nights of wandering around the hills in the middle of the night, we didn't view the Aurora but.... still loved our stay.
Perfect experience.
It was a lovely stay, looking forward to come again. Nice view and very friendly reception.
Carters Rest
Having stayed twice at the B&B, which we thoroughly enjoyed, this time we chose to stay at the Self-Catering side for a November break, enjoying the moody wintery seascapes of Duirinish. Again, a very enjoyable time was had,the whole arrangement was very welcoming, the rooms were warm, very well equipped - thank you Julie and Steve!
Very nice
Excellent location, close to the famous Neist Point. The apartment is very comfortable for a family and well furnished. Fantastic view.
Outstanding hospitality and accommodation
We recently stayed with Steve and Julie at their beautiful guesthouse near Dunvegan on Skye and were extremely delighted with all aspects of our stay....even the dreich weather! Steve and Julie were fantastic hosts and really made us feel at home. The standard of accommodation was of the highest order and breakfast was just amazing! We’d certainly recommend Carters Rest and will definitely be back! Thank you Steve and Julie.
Excellent stay
A beautiful location with very hopsitable owners. They were friendly and had every detail covered. We would recommend a stay at Carters Rest to anyone.
Amazing stay!
We had an amazing stay at the beautiful home of Steve and Julie. Lovely room, delicious breakfast and very nice hosts :-)
Modern clean and comfortable
Lovely modern apartment with all amenities. Hosts were very friendly. Enjoyed our stay.
We\'ll be back
Wonderfull stay. Amazing location and lovely owners.It was our second stay and we would recommend it to everyone.
Nice family place
Nice place to stay with kids and warm hospitality. We spend good family holidays.
Exceptional
WOW!What a wonderful stay.Three nights on the extreme western edge of Skye.A beautiful place to be.Steve and Julie are great hosts.They really do their best to take care of your needs.The breakfasts were fantastic - best we had in Scotland during our 15 day visit.The home is located in a very scenic value with awesome views.The rooms are very very nice.It is remote!Driving anywhere on the one lane roads can be treacherous for US drivers.It certainly slows you down, although the residents seem to have no problem traveling at 60MPH.It does take a bit of time to get to the sites, but there is plenty to see and we did a variety of day trips.If you want to go to "Three Chimneys" restaurant, ask Julie to book for you early - months ahead.We'd go back in a second.
Simply the Best!!
An outstanding second visit to the best B&B I have experienced. Steve &Julie have left nothing to chance to ensure your visit is perfect. Wonderful rooms with every convenience, comfortable beds and linens and above all the best breakfasts with stunning views. A wonderful location to explore this very special part of Skye!
Perfection
We recently stayed in the self-catering apartment and it has been the best we have ever stayed in. We could live there permanently! Great location, amazing people and clean, comfortable accommodation. We can't recommend it enough. In future, we hope to visit Skye often and this will be our go-to place. Thank you so much!!
A little haven of luxury
following a long day at work, a warm welcome, and a stunning room a little haven, albeit a long drive out into the beautiful Skye countryside it was well worth it.Nothing forgotten in all the extras in the room from face wipes to dental floss, a hot shower with a bathtowel as big as a single bed, then to the superking bed so very comfy I slept through the night and never moved, unheard of for me when in a strange bed.the breakfast was excellent, good quality products cooked to perfection. For me this was the ultimate in luxury, credit must go to the lovely Steve and Julie for thinking of everything, but most of all for their welcome to their lovely home. I will definitely be back, hopefully with more time to enjoy this haven.
Fantastic Bed and Breakfast
We had the pleasure of staying at Carters Rest on 6th and 7th September 2017. It has to be the be the Best BB we have ever stayed at. the location is amazing. the room was massive and so comfortable and everything you could want. The owners Julie and Steve were fantastic hosts happy to give you recommendations where to go what to do. Also the breakfasts were amazing, I particularly enjoyed Julies take on Eggs benedict!we could not recommend this place highly enough its a " must experience" if you are ever in this part of Skye.Thanks Julie and Steve for making our trip so memorable
perfect
Our stay at Carters Rest can only be described as perfect. The location is a beautyful as the pictures tell. The deliciousbreakfast is served in a room with the spectacular view on the coast and the sheep before. Julie and Steve are the loveliest people we met during our journey and helped us planning our ongoing tour. In the house every question and need a guest can have is already expected and answered.
Amazing stay with friendly hosts
We had a lovely stay at Carters rest as part of our honeymoon. Julie and Steve were very friendly and accommodating hosts and the breakfast was excellent. Lovely room with a view and such super soft towels! Everything you could ask for on a wonderful trip to Skye!
The only place to stay in Skye
Comfortable, welcoming, great food and a terrific view. Julie and Steve were wonderful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. Lots of nice little touches made it a very enjoyable stay. Would return any time.
The best B&B we ever stayed in...
The room was wonderful - much space, very clean, nicely furnished and an extremely comfortable bed. We were amazed by the fantastic view from our breakfast table :-) Julie and Steve were perfect hosts and their breakfast is worth a trip! Many thanks again for the hospitality!

Very enjoyable stay! Clean, comfortable and perfect for us as we had booked dinner at the Three Chimney's, less than 10 mins up the road. Thank you!
Paradise on the Isle of Skye
We spent three nights in a large self-catering family room with our two daughters.Everything is made with attention to the smallest detail. The location is fantastic, surrounded by nature. Having breakfast with a view on this beautiful bay has no price. Thank you Steve and Julie for welcoming us as if we were part of the family.
A wonderful adress
Very nice place and very nice people ! The view is amazing, the romm, very confortable and the breakfast, just delicious !! A adress to share !
Great experience in Skye
Between the spectacular views, food, and great hospitality of Steve and Julie, our stay at Carter's Rest Guesthouse was truly memorable.It is obvious that everything was geared to making our stay comfortable.Our hosts were extremely easy to work with and ready to help with ideas with our time on Skye.Although the location was on the western part of Skye, it was the perfect location for Three Chimney's restaurant, Talisker Distillery, and numerous hikes.Our only regret was not spending more time there.
Amazing!
Julie and Steven are the most welcoming, helpful and friendly hosts we ever met, the Guesthouse is beautiful, rooms are spacious, super well equipped and breakfast is delicious. Location is great and Julie and Steve have always very good ideas what to do on the island and where to eat. We had a wonderful time!
Great place on skye
We stayed here for one night and would have loved to stay longer! The hosts are friendly, helpful and made us feel right at home. The location is beautiful as are the rooms and breakfast area. Would stay here again and would recommend to anyone!
Fantastic!!!!
The house was beautiful, clean and really confortable, everything was of a high quality. The landscape was amazing, full of peace and nature and Julie was really nice. I do really recommend this place.
Wonderful!
We had an outstanding stay at Carter's! The little details were impeccable and contributed to the overall feeling of comfort. The customized breakfast menu was off the charts and a spectacular view while we ate was the cherry on top. I would HIGHLY recommend people stay here, you won't be disappointed!
Un séjour merveilleux !
Si vous cherchez un endroit charmant, calme, respirant la nature sur l'Ile de Skye, c'est ici qu'il faut vous poser. Hôtes adorables, prestation de qualité. Une endroit de rêve pour se poser. La seule vraie question est de savoir combien de temps ! Nous reviendrons :)
Our stay at carters rest

This is the best place to stay on Skye! Period!
Carters Rest is well worth the drive. Too beautiful to explain. Julie and Steve (and George) are the best hosts and have the best taste in music as well. Gee, I did a lot of writing here, haven't I? I could go on, but I'm hungry. Seriously- the BEST 😊
SKYE BLISS
This was a return visit and once again we were delighted by the facilities and Julie and Steve as hosts. This time we stayed in the self catered apartment but still had the benefit of Julie's sensational breakfasts.An awesome experience!
Excellent Accommodation
To put it simply - we loved it! Carters Rest is a great place to stay. Our room was large, super clean and very comfortable. The hosts Steve and Julie are top class who really care about their guests. Breakfast was a delight. The location was perfect for seeing the northern part of the island. We hope to be fortunate enough to be able to go back again and would certainly choose Carters Rest.
Remote and really cool!
Julie and Steve are such down to earth hosts! They greeted us upon arrival, shooing the random sheep from the gate. They are very hands on with every aspect of their guest house. Gave us great recommendations, and were helpful setting up reservations at a local restaurant in advance. Breakfast was amazing and our room was very comfortable and stocked. Keep in mind that they do NOT offer dinner meals. If you are looking for an awesome remote location on the Isle of Skye, this is your destination! Bonus is a fabulous lighthouse right down the road to visit at sunset!
Staying
The best bed and breakfast on tour, very clean, very nice, Julie and Steve are the best osts. Very nice and beautiful place to stayThank you very much for all Julie and Steve. You are the best
Seagulls Nest
Lovely couple of days at the self contained "Seagulls Nest" at Carters Rest. Wonderful attention to detail and quality. Fully equipped for a first class stay in a very beautiful setting. Highly recommended.

This was our second visit.Our first stay was only one night and wasn't long enough so we stayed for three nights on our second visit.You are made to feel welcome from the moment you step through the door.If you are looking for peace and quiet,then this is the place to be.Everything is first class and couldn't fault anything.Julie and Steve areabsolutely the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again next year.Thank you to you both.
Lovely Stay in Skye
We stayed in the Seagulls Nest, and loved everything about it. It was brilliantly set up, and the location was spectacular. It was a perfect getaway for us, we would have loved to stay longer. Our hosts were very welcoming, and cooked a lovely breakfast too. Highly recommended
Perfect Stay on Skye
Very nice hosts, excellent rooms, delicious breakfast with a lot of options - just perfect!
Gorgeous and a great vibe :)
Steve and Julie have created something very special at Carter's Rest. The location is remote and in a beautiful part of Skye. The bedrooms are perfectly put together, clean, massive towels, and well thought-out finishing touches. And those breakfasts!... YUM! Thanks for a great stay - it really helped make our visit to Skye special :)
Comfortable stay
We had a very comfortable stay at the apartment. Julie and Stephen provided good information and advice about the location and apartment before our stay. The apartment was as described and had all the amenities required. It was very clean and comfortable. It is very close to Neist point which was great for sunset. Thank you for a lovely stay
Simply great
We made good time to arrive at this destination, well before check in however this was not a problem.We were greeted by Julie on our arrival which was lovely - lots of little extras, e.g. soap/bathrobes/soft drinks/tea & coffee which contributed to making our stay more than adequate.We found the accommodation spotlessly clean, relaxing and with the biggest bed I have ever slept in.A very comfortable stay and I highly recommend.
FANTASTIC
WE travel to Carters rest and ended up in the most wonderful place,remote for the world with spectacular views. Julie and Steve were brilliant hosts. Their documentation sent before we came was very useful. They kindly recommended restaurants and place of interests around their B & B. We would love to come again.
Service from the Heart makes a Wonderful Stay
Six months before we took our journey, Julie is already helping us plan the trip, giving us invaluable tips on how best to spend our time in Skye.We rented the attached spacious apartment (ground floor) unit that can easily accommodate four adults.The scenery is serene, the location sanctuary.Although a bit remote at the NW corner of Skye (an hour's drive from Portree), it's only 10 mins away from Three Chimneys, a Michelin-star restaurant that you're sure to enjoy.It also provides a quieter backdrop unlike the ones near town, and easy access to Macleod's Maidens, a walk that takes you to Indrigill Point where you can view some impressive sea stacks - well, if you're a serious hiker you're sure to appreciate.Julie and Steve also provide the best breakfast we've had on this trip - fresh OJ, smoothie! porridge, full Scottish fare, croissant, etc. etc.And making sure that we've got all our restaurants and outings booked before leaving for the day.
A wonderful stay!
We enjoyed 2 wonderful nights at Carters Guesthouse. The rooms were immaculate, the beds the most comfortable of our 2 week stay in Scotland and Julie and Steve were perfect hosts. Delicious breakfasts, spot on dinner recommendations and a breathtaking location.
Outstanding B & B
Recommended by 'Secret Scotland' and it was truly superb. The accommodation was luxurious and the breakfasts beautifully presented and so tasty. Steve and Julie are perfect hosts and could have done nothing more to ensure our comfort. We give it the highest recommendation
often on Skye
Already we have been quiet often to Skye. Carter's Rest is the best B&B we stayed on the island until now. Great location and really wonderful hosts!

Sensational B&B
Steve and Julie's very warm welcome, stunning scenery, and every possible requirement to think of including movies, books etc. The breakfast was sensational. Would highly recommended Carters Rest to everyone
Totally amazing
Well where do I begin - this was the most amazing week’s staying at Carter’s Rest - Julie and Steve went out of their way to make us welcome - right from those first friendly, helpful emails before we arrived, and then to our warm welcome, our fabulous breakfasts every day, our delicious packed lunch, great walking advice and the feeling that nothing was too much trouble.And in addition to that they managed to be not at all intrusive.There were 6 of us in our party and everything was perfect.Our rooms were spotlessly clean every day - the beds, mattresses, sheets and towels are of the highest quality and so comfortable.The pillows were the best I have ever slept on!The guests’ lounge is really spacious and cosy with the log burner and we really felt at home.Their attention to detail is amazing - even fridges in the rooms which were really welcome as we had a rare Skye heatwave!The house is light, spacious and welcoming and all the 4 bedrooms were lovely.It’s a very beautiful and special part of Skye - with stunning coastal views and great peace.The little village nearby at Glendale has an amazing Tardis of a Post Office - tiny on the outside but crammed (neatly) with everything you could ever need.We would love to return to Skye and I can’t think of anywhere more perfect that Carter’s Rest.It ticks every box and more.
Fabulous Guesthouse
Wonderful location.Very friendly owners who couldn't do enough to make us comfortable.Brilliant breakfast.We stayed in the self catering cottage but also took breakfast in the guest house.We had a fabulous 2 day stay.Thanks you
A so quiet BB !
We spent 2 nights with our 2 boys in this very quiet B&B. The view of the apartment is wonderful and near the Ness Point. The boys were very happy to see sea lions and sheep...People are very welcoming and helpful.. I recommend this BB.
Couldn\'t be better
After a long trip trough the rainyHighlands and at least a 9 mi Single Road Track, we've arrived a the best place to stay at Skye. The wonderful B&B of Julie and Steve. Wonderful rooms and a extra-ordinary breakfast in the fantastic landscape of western Skye.
Very Nice!

Lovely stay
This was one of the best places we stayed at on our travels throughout Scotland. Comfortable beds, great breakfast, and straightforward check-in. Loved the addition of suggestions for Skye and wide selection of movies.
Amazing location and appartment
Not much to add to the title really.Evertything was perfect and as excellent as advertised
Five star
I came all the way from Australia and relied on the reviews I had read. I stayed in the Seagulls Nest and loved every moment.It was above and beyond what I had expected. I loved the warm hospitality. The food was awesome. The walk to the lighthouse is amazing. I will come back again. Thanks Steve and Julie for making my holiday wonderful xox
Perfect!
The title says it all really. Very friendly, helpful - and the food was excellent! Couldn't ask for more.
Lovely and friendly
Lovely and friendly B and B. Julie and Steve went out of their way to help us and were really welcoming. Fantastic remote location but also within an easy drive of lots of interesting places. Room and breakfast were both great!
