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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
