The property is very beautiful and the location is lovely with access to some really gorgeous hikes and stunning views. The rooms were lovely and the property overall is cosy with a fireplace and sauna and an adorable labrador. Simone and Jonathan are incredibly lovely and thoughtful and make sure that everything is available. The dinner was amazing and we also tasted some whiskey. They also provided us with a packed lunch for our hike. My favourite was the Cullen skink, crevettes and haggis! I would definitely recommend staying here.

We enjoyed the entire experience - everything was perfect.

In my 10 years of travelling the world, I have never felt so at home and so welcome. Jonathan and Simona (along with Ema, the Lab and Molly the Cat) made our journey through the Scottish Highlands an experience to remember and definitely left us with the feeling that we would want to come back again. The house is extremely cozy and in the evening, the fireplace creates an pleasant atmosphere reminding me of my childhood days. The breakfast is great, with many options to pick from and with fresh ingredients. Dinner is also available, along with a vast selection of Scottish Whisky and Gin - IMPORTANT: If you are going, do not miss the Cullen Skink Soup - it is the best thing ever to warm yourself after a rainy windy day in Isle of Skye. PS: Fully appreciate the support of Jonathan and Simone for helping me set up something for my girlfriend's birthday, definitely brought a happiness tear to the eye :)

That we couldn’t stay longer!

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! We were within an hour’s drive of many interesting attractions on the Isle of Skye!

Loved everything. Location was amazing, like you were at the edge of the world. Best appointed room we have ever stayed in. The hosts, Jonathan and Simone, were friendly, helpful and gave great information about the area. Food was out of this world! Thank you for a lovely stay. Only regret is we didn't stay longer

We had a fantastic stay at Carter's Rest. Jonathan and Simone truly look after every detail and were invaluable in providing advice for how to plan our days on the Isle of Skye. Their breakfast's and dinner's are truly great and we felt very comfortable and at home.

Simone and Jonathan were fantastic hosts. The view of the cliffs and ocean were classic Scotland. Our hosts also provided gourmet dinners, which they serve up with great flair. A very enjoyable experience.

Nothing! We felt cared for and pampered.

It was an oasis on the western part of Skye. The view from the window was breathtaking. Jonathan and Simone are incredible hosts. We appreciated being able to eat dinner there and did so both nights. They are warm and gracious.

Nice Bed and Breakfast with views of the sea from the shared common dining and living room. Close to Niest Point Lighthouse (great hike/views). Breakfast is in the common dining room with a few other guests (you have your own table). You have the option to have dinner there (fresh salmon and trout are wonderful). Rooms are somewhat small but are nicely done with a bathroom (very fine for a couple). Johnathon and Simone are exceptional cooks...it is like having your own personal chefs! They are super accommodating.

Simona and Jonathon are extraordinary hosts. The guest rooms are extremely well appointed. We were pampered, in a word.

Everything even the weather ;-) S&J are lovely hosts, breakfast and dinner was a pleasure.

Stayed in May 2024

Nothing at all

The warm hosts make you feel welcome. The rooms are very nice and there are a lot of details in the B&B that make you feel special. The location is outside of the big tourist attractions which was for us a benefit. The breakfast is wonderful but what makes it at great experience is the option to eat in in the evening a la carte! They can make you unbelievable dishes (a star rating level). And they have a good car charger (32A/21 kW AC).

Breakfast was exceptional. Quality and presentation was gourmet like.

Better breakfast than in luxury hotels in London. I don't know if there was something in the air that was making everything more tasty or exceptional cooking skills but I was grateful for the end result.

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, Jonathan, Emma and Molly for your hospitality and the wonderful birthday surprise - we had an absolutely stunning time with you!

Wonderful stay at Jonathon and Simone’s place. Excellent hosting - they made us feel at home, at ease and that nothing was too much trouble. Our room was so peaceful with thoughtful touches and everything we needed. Magical surroundings and really nice walks straight out of the front door. Highly recommend eating dinner - best meal we have had in Scotland. Breakfast was also delicious. And Emma and Molly (the pets) also gave us a lovely welcome. We can’t wait to return!

We loved everything, we just wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved everything about this place. It is warm, cozy and inviting. The views, fireplace, warmth - a perfect place to stay and experience the Isle of Skye. The food was amazing - breakfast and dinner. The bedroom was relaxing and comfortable. In fact, we slept better there than at home. The sauna experience was a bonus and topped off our vacation experience.

There is not one thing that comes to mind.

Truly a special place! PEACEFUL & Restful. Hosts, Simone and Jonathan, made us feel welcome from the minute we arrived. The view of Pool Tiel from our table with rolling hills dotted with sheep…Breakfast is outstanding… fresh ingredients with a beautiful presentation. Definitely stay in for dinner! Our room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Not a stone unturned. Jonathan tailored his recommendations to our specific interests. By far our favorite accommodation on our two week tour of Scotland.

There was nothing I did not like about this place!

We came here as a stop on our honeymoon. We loved everything about this place. Jonathan and Simone were warm and friendly. The location was perfect. The food was absolutely amazing. Simone thought of everything....coffee machine in rooms, a little flashlight, wash cloths (hard to come by in Scotland!), Q-tips, a make-up mirror, teas, a mini fridge, and so much more. This was one stop on our tour of Scotland, but the next time we are on vacation, we are going to stay here for a week or 2 to just relax. It is truly the best place ever!
