We have just spent four days at Tarven Cottage in Portree and had a wonderful time. The cottage is a real home from home, very comfortable and beautifully decorated and furnished. Lots of little extras to make your stay that little bit more comfortable. The cottage has one double bedroom and one twin bedded room with plenty of drawer and... More

Tarven was perfect for our 2 nights on Skye. After travelling for several days straight, we enjoyed the chance to stay in such a comfortable space. In addition to a comfortable room, we spent time in the sun-filled lounge. Maria gave us excellent advice on things to do around the island, also; it fel like staying with a friend. Super... More

We have just returned from spending four nights at Tarven. We had a really warm welcome from Maria and Jerry. Our room was comfortable and light, with an adjoining en suite. The new dining / sitting area was great; a space to relax after a day out. We enjoyed the breakfasts where there was always a a good choice. Maria... More

Just returned home after 7 weeks of travelling the world and had to write a review about the wonderful time we spent at Tarven on the Isle of Skye. Travelling as a family group, we were exhausted by the time we reached Skye and just wanted some down time to relax . Located in a quiet spot just outside of... More

My wife and I spent three nights with Maria and Jerry and can not recommend this B&B highly enough. Everything was brilliant, the room, the breakfast and the the sitting area are all 5 star quality. As for the hospitality, there is not a high enough star rating. This is a home where you are invited in to spend some... More

Not only is it an excellent accommodation on Skye but we had other experience as well. We were 4 of us, it was almost evening, B&Bs full and Maria had only one double bed room available. As the accommodation was really beautiful with very friendly atmosphere we agreed that my parents would stay there and I and my husband would... More

We have stayed at many B & Bs on our UK holiday and consider our 2 night stay at Tarven to be the most comfortable and enjoyable. Maria and Gerry are warm, friendly and hospitable hosts and go out of their way to help their guests - from providing information on Skye’s top spots and the best places to eat... More

We stayed for two night at the Tarven B&B. The house is beautiful. Everything is new, clean and spacious. Maria was a welcoming host - thanks for organizing the rental car and giving us a ride to the bus stop! She also gave good hints for places to eat, both we tried were perfect. Breakfast was very good, it is... More

For instance when we needed a B&B on North Uist she made the phone calls for us. Free of charge! The room was very comfortable with tv en free wifi (good reception as well). Bathroom... More

We spent 3 nights at the lovely Tarven B&B. Maria was very welcoming and friendly, and happy to help out with any questions. The room was clean and comfortable, and we made good use of the lounge area provided for guests, which overlooked the garden. A good location - just an easy 10 minute walk into Portree, and a nice...
