Loved it!

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 highly recommend this bed & breakfast. Everything is perfect for an Isle of Skye vacation.

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.

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

Put Carters Rest at the top of your travel plan if you visit the beautiful Isle of Skye!

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 is not one thing that comes to mind.

We had a wonderful stay at Carters Rest - "rest" being the operative word.

Both the breakfast and the evening meals were of an exceptionally high standard, as was the standard of service and the cleanliness of the accommodation. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

Host were very welcoming at the moment we arrived including their lovely dog. We were shown around and to our rooms. Our rooms were HUGE and very well thought of both for comfort and for all your needs. Breakfast and evening meals were very delicious and tasty. We absolutely loved being here, and it was sad to move on to our next destination.

Great stay - excellent attention to detail from friendly hosts.

Fabulous hosts - very friendly, warm and informative. Excellent food at breakfast and dinner. Location is isolated, but that's what we wanted. Peaceful setting, perfect for walks. Fast broadband. We used it as a base to explore the island.

The room and bathroom were quite small, although well-appointed. But there is a lounge area too. If there had been more meat options on the dinner menu then we would have dined in every night, I think!

A home away from home - you'll feel at peace there.

The Isle of Skye is a breathtaking place to visit and Carter's Rest was the perfect place to stay in. We spent two nights there and had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful, the location stunning, and to top it all off, the hosts, Simone and Jonathan are very warm, welcoming and cook delicious food!

Terrific hospitality

Our second visit, this time in the house (rather than self-catering). Exceptional hosts, comfortable accommodation, and fabulous breakfasts. They also have a wonderful dinner menu (next time!) and, boy, do they know how to cook! The location is perfect for a bracing walk by the sea.

A peaceful, beautiful and enchanting place.

The location was pefect, a very short walk to the sea, breakfast exceptional and the evening meals we had were as good as local restaurants. Lovely friendly hosts who offered advice about where to visit during our stay and we are glad we took their advice .

Liked everything, cannot wait to return.

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!

Sky sports, fantastic sunsets, stunning location- quiet, few houses nearby.

Be prepared to drive to the ‘tourist spots’ and plan for single track roads with passing places. Travelling through Skye can take time when driving off the main roads

Amazing stay!!!

While the property is awesome and the view is amazing the hospitality is even better! Johnathan and Simone are unbelievable hosts and do everything they possibly can to ensure the stay is memorable. We also hadn’t booked anywhere for dinner early enough and as it turns out this was great news because it allowed us to eat at Carters Rest where the food was soooo good and they are accommodating to any dietary requests. Really a fantastic stay and couldn’t recommend more!

That we didn’t have time on our trip to stay longer!!!!

Fabulous, Carters Rest is an excellent property which I would thoroughly recommend

Simone and Jonathan were truly wonderful hosts. Carters Rest is located in a beautiful and part of Skye...the extra drive is definitely worth it! We booked dinner on our first night, which was amongst the best evening meal we had on our two weeks in Scotland. The breakfast were equally fantastic...all freshly cooked to order. The view from the dining area was amazing, great for watching the glorious sunsets. We stayed in Sea Gull's Nest Apartment which was really spacious and well equipped, with lots of welcoming touches

Carter’s Rest is situated in a beautiful, remote part of the Isle of Skye. It was spotlessly clean and nothing was too much trouble for the amazing hosts. They were warm and friendly and gave us good advice for our days out. We couldn’t fault it- I’d thoroughly recommend it.

Superb

The hosts were very hospitable, friendly and helpful, the house was very clean and modern with good facilities, it is a remote location but the drive there was lovely with amazing scenery and you get used to the single track roads. The breakfast was good as was the evening meal that we had.

They have a lovely lounge and conservatory and although we were there in August it was a bit chilly so would've been nice if the coal fire had been on in the evenings, also would've been better if we able to put the heating on in our room,

Fantastic stay in Skye

My wife and I spent two nights at Carter's Rest during our visit to Skye, and everything about our stay was fantastic. Jonathan and Simone were great hosts, welcoming us with open arms and providing great recommendations on things to do and see. The property has beautiful ocean views that can be enjoyed in the common area, which is equipped with a bunch of windows and a cast iron wood stove to keep cozy and warm. The bedroom and the bed were very comfortable and the Scottish soaps in the bathroom were a really nice touch. We ate in the B&B a couple of times, and found a lot of variety of high quality local foods. We would love to come back and visit for a longer stay in the future!

Wow

An incredible experience, with such warm and welcoming hosts. Breakfast was perfect - with fresh homemade bread, haggis, black pudding, freshly squeezed orange juice, etc., etc. - as were the views from the table. As I said at the time, this B&B will be in the top five in the world next year.

Nothing could have been better.
