Absolutely fantastic place to stay. The cabins have amazing amenities and everything from the towels to the bed linens smelled so fresh and clean. I slept like a baby, especially after eating an incredibly tasty dinner at The Sprig restaurant that is on the same property. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit Isle of Sky! Oh and the views, GORGEOUS!

We had a lovely room with a view of the water. Beautifully appointed room. Great dry & steam sauna. We used both nights. Lovely breakfast. Maybe a higher chair for desk would be good and a nightlight in bathroom. Extra pillows. But otherwise? I would recommend to all my friends!

Broadford on the Isle of Skye is a great small town to stay for a visit to this Isle. We stayed in quite comfortable cabins at House of Juniper which also has a fantastic restaurant and bar. It is walking distance from downtown and the Coop market for food and the Market Kitchen for breakfast and coffee. A great launch point to Isle of Skye. Yes the cat waits in line at Market Kitchen for petting or treats
