Braeside Guest Rooms

AVOID!! Worst place I have ever stayed. My husband and I had a terrible experience at these guest rooms. We arrived to find scaffolding outside our room but we were not informed of this before arriving. Noisy workmen worked outside on the scaffolding all day and so we had to close the cheap bedroom curtains during the day as they could see into our bedroom. We had some important calls to make from our room which was very difficult with the noise and complete lack of privacy. The toilet window had no blind and so the workmen could see right into our toilet. The owner's solution was for the workmen to put a plank of wood over the toilet window. This meant the already dark room became even darker and more dingy. The owner was extremely hostile and refused to ask the workmen to leave. She refused to answer our phone calls and instead only text. She gave out my husband's mobile to the workmen without his consent which then led to the workmen sending a message to my husband essentially saying we should not expect to use our room during the day. This is despite us paying around £150 per day for the room. The entire experience was really disappointing especially since we love Skye and have stayed many times with no problems. We ended up having to get alternative accommodation due to the workmen threatening to keep working during our entire stay.

Small guest house with excellent location. Rooms comfortable, good bathroom. Excellent communication with a host. There's no breakfast, however there's a café 2 min walk away. No issues, overall very pleasant.

This place was overpriced with no breakfast. I remember I put a 7 out of 10 in booking and the owner sent me a private message saying that I wouldn’t find anything more cheaper than this and that I ate all the cookies/juice from the room which were included (supermarket stuff that doesn’t arrive to 5 eur but this is not the point) I have travelled a lot and never seen that in my life. Respect the guest opinions (correct or not) is the first thing that needs to be learnt. This is one of the few 1 star scores that I submit which is truly deserved.
