We spent a wonderful evening and morning at Swordale House, Barbara and Allan did everything to make us feel at home - and we did. The place ist midst in nature, very nice spot, a short car drive leads you to marvellous Elgol. Breakfast was just perfect! Would like to return and stay longer!

Barbara and Alan were lovely, it was cold for these nights, and when we came in there was a lovely fire every night in the lounge, and coffee or tea if we needed it. made to feel very welcome, breakfast was so filling, anything we wanted....

We stayed here for two nights as part of a girls' short break (two mums with our pre-teen daughters). Barbara and Alan are delightful hosts who made our stay most comfortable. The house is spotlessly clean and full of charm. Breakfasts are delicious, with a good choice of locally-sourced fayre: smoked haddock, eggs and venison sausages to name but three.... More

We spent two nights here, a great base for exploring the Isle of Skye. And the surroundings are stunning! Only a couple of minutes from town, and you feel as if you're in the middle of nowhere (in the best sense possible) - Babara and Alan were very friendly and helpful with recommendations for restaurants. - More of a "classic"...

Swordale house is really a nice place. Barbara and Alan are very welcoming people. The rooms are a little bit small but charming. And the view from the windows is fantastic! Only moor, sheeps, mountains.. Very peaceful! Bathroom are not so great. Small. The electric shower makes a lot of noise. The breakfast was very good and very fresh. We... More

We travelled as 2 couples and stayed for 1 night in this lovely B&B. The moment we arrived we were taken by the amazing views and the location itself. It was so idylic and secluded, just the lovely house, sheep and views of Red Cuillin. Alan's welcome was so warm that we felt at home immediately. We arrived quite late,... More

It's easy to think that you should stay along the coastline on Skye, but let me tell you about Sworedale. My wife and I spent a week on Skye and in the end found the peninsula containing the Sworedale House and the village of Elgol to be the most entertaining. Sworedale House sits directly between mountains on the road to... More

We only stayed for one night in this B&B on our Scotland round trip but we were really impressed by the kindness and hospitaliy of Barbara and Alan. We would have liked to stay longer. If you need suggestions about sights or hiking tours, both Barbara and Alan share their knowledge of the surroundings with you. Our room was lovely,... More

We only stayed at Swordale House for one night to so we didn't have to drive too far, plus we wanted to drive out to see Elgol. Swordale House is a very cosy house in a wonderful Scottish landscape of sheep and mountains, with some very old church ruins just down the road. The bedrooms were clean with comfortable beds....
