“Idyllic Hideaway on Skye”

Fearnoch

5 of 5 stars
North Yorkshire
Aug 26, 2007
6/6 found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed with Rosa in August 2007 and had a wonderful time. Fearnoch is set in a marvellous location in Torrin, on the Broadford to Elgol road, and is backed and flanked by inspiring mountain scenery with loch views to the front. It was just a short walk to the shore where there was an otter hide and a secret. We'll let Rosa reveal the secret!

Our room was perfect, the lounge and dining room were very comfortable indeed and the whole establishment was beautifully maintained and as clean as a new pin. Breakfasts were superb—very good food, extremely well prepared. Rosa was very helpful in recommending local places to eat in the evenings, but she neglected to mention that her own evening meals are the best in the area—we discovered that the night we stayed home to dine!

Rosa was also instrumental in kindly guiding us towards the best places to visit in South Skye. We enjoyed some delightful walks, explored ancient villages, watched birds, seals and otters and were even treated to the sight of four magnificent golden eagles simultaneously circling above our heads. From our window, the sight of Bla Bheinn glowing red in the early morning sunlight was unforgettable.

Don’t hesitate! If you are looking for a quiet and comfortable retreat near the mountains and the sea—this is it!

We stayed with Alan and Rosa for a week of walking and relaxation. The beautiful village of Torrin is located on the banks of tranquil Loch Slapin with the dramatic backdrop of Bla Bhein. Fearnoch is in a particularly favoured location, benefiting from unrivalled views of both sea and mountains. Hospitality was second to none and we both loved Rosa's dinners and breakfasts. The accommodation was very clean, cosy and comfortable. Highly recommended.

“Fantastic B & B”

Fearnoch

3/3 found this review helpful

We stayed with Rosa at the Fearnoch whilst walking from Armadale to Duntulm on Paterson's 'Long Walk on Skye'. Having camped the two previous days (there being no accommodation in Ord or Heaste), we needed to be looked after and weren't disappointed. The twin room was cosy and clean. Rosa's evening meal was fantastic, as was the breakfast. I'd recommend the Fearnoch without reservation.

2/2 found this review helpful

Lovely B & B, excellent standard and breakfasts to die for. We needed some good walks to build up an appitite for a meal in the evening. Setting overlooking Lock Torrin and the Cuillin Mountains. Very Highly recommended.

My husband and I had a wonderful 3 night stay at Fearnoch-we didn't want to leave! Rosa is an excellent host and has created a clean and comfortable home for her guests. Torrin is a beautiful area and close to Elgol where we took a fantastic boat trip to Loch Coruisk. Rosa's breakfasts are delicious! We will definitely return on our next trip.
