If I'm lucky enough to have another trip to Skye, this is where I will be staying. Small but perfectly formed, Achtalean is well worth the drive to the north of the island. We arrived after dark, but were greeted with a warm welcome, and shown everything we needed to know, and then to our very comfortable, warm ensuite room.... More

My first visit to the North of the Isle of Skye and stayed at the Achtalean, Staffin, where the food was good, especially the 'Full English' breakfast I had on my last day. Everything very clean and spotless and the views from the lounge window were fantastic. Greg and Sue were very friendly and knowledgeable of the Island and beyond.... More

Good food and wonderful hosts. Situated on the coast with sea views from the lounge window and views of the Troternish Ridge and the Quirang on the other side. Greg & Sue enjoy what they do & it shows in the welcome. I stayed a week. I spent a couple of days down in the Cuillin Mountains with Greg who... More

For a first trip to the wonderful island of skye, we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. The views from Achtalean are stunning; looking over Staffin bay from the front and a great view of the ridge behind. We were very well looked after by Sue and Greg who are fantastic hosts. we were made to feel really... More

We were camping in the Hebrides and of course we were caught in the wind and the rain. Still exploring the Isle , we decided to stay with Sue and Greg for a night. Their hospitality was as warm as the comfortable bed we slept in. The breakfast was excellent as they helped us plan our tour of the Isle.... More

Stayed at this friendly b&b whilst on a touring holiday of the isle of Skye and loch ness and I was definitely not disappointed. I was recommended this b&b by a friend who praised the owners for their warm hospitality and outstanding knowledge of the local area and I couldn't agree more. Greg and Sue helped us to plan our...

Greg and Sue have been really welcoming and made our stay and trip in Staffin very comfortable and relaxing. We stayed two nights - 25th and 26th sept. Greg&Sue would definitely go the extra mile to make guests feel comfortable and happy. Though it was extremely windy at night, Greg reassured us that we'll be safe. :) Every little detail... More

We stayed at the Achtalean for one night in August. Originally we were disappointed not to be able to book a reservation at one of the B&Bs closer to the main town of Portree, but it turned out to be our good luck. The Achtalean is a bit of a drive beyond Portree up a sometimes one-lane road that you... More

I stayed in Achtalean for a whole week and it alway felt like being home. Greg and Sue gave me a very warm welcome. My room was very comfortable, quiet and clean. The ensuite bathroom with powerful shower was very nice after a long day walking in the beautiful landscape of the Trotternish peninsula. The breakfast was delicious and I... More
