    There was nothing that we would change. It was by far the best place that we have stayed in on our tour around Scotland.

    An absolutely beautiful B&B. Very, very tastefully decorated with lots of thoughtful extras. The whole place was stylish and welcoming, and breakfast was not only delicious and plentiful, but also beautifully presented. We cannot recommend it highly enough.

    Beautiful B&B near Portree on the Island of Skye. Terrific location about a mile outside the bustle of Portree. Lovely room and bath. Great hot breakfast each day. The owners are on site and wonderful. good value compared to other places on Skye.

    Not clear to me that the b&b was across the water outside of Portree so had a little trouble finding it.

    Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and room was lovely.

    Hot water was not working well the first night we were there. We reported to Jack and he fixed so it was working well the second morning. Otherwise, everything was wonderful. Not a complaint just noting because of how quickly Jack took care of a problem he was not previously made aware of !

    We like everything about Canowindra! This was our favorite B&B of our two week trip around Scotland. The property is first class, and Jack and Georgie are wonderful host! Georgie, thank you so much for the wonderful Takeaway breakfast you made up for us on our last morning there. We are sorry we had to leave early and miss your wonderful hot breakfast, but we had an early ticket for the ferry and had to leave early in time to get to our scheduled departure.  We hope your daughter enjoyed a fantastic 10 year birthday!

    This is not critical... It would be amazing if Canowindra were within walking distance of downtown Portree so one would not have to drive to go out to dinner.

    I went up to Skye with an old friend who had never been to Scotland before to show her one one of the beautiful places in Scotland, do some hiking, and relax. And Canowindra was a fabulous place to relax. The owners are such sweet people! The breakfasts were great! I love an excellent classic Scottish breakfast. And our room was one of the nicest I've stayed in on holiday for years. I could live there! And after some good hikes during the day the wonderful clawfoot bathtub really helped.
